BREAKING NEWS: Explosion shook houses and blew doors open in Spanish Fort.

“are you cereal?”

Nope! He’s mute and irrevalunt.

Until they are dragged once more, kicking and screaming, into admitting that it was the Amish once more, fighting Gee Hadd.

Question: If a lunatic will try the same thing over and over again, and each time expect a different result, are we lunatics for expecting libtards to have an epiphany and start assuming from the get-go that it’s the Amish?

Then again, does anybody actually expect that?

[Eleutheria5]

Don’t they have to be registered yet?

[Eleutheria5]

Unconsciously, I’m sure. He probably fervently believed every word of that song.

A Friend who lives down that way said the only way he knew about it was from Michelle Malkin and a Russian media source.

Kinda sad when you have to go to PRAVDA to get any truth in what’s going on in our own country.

I have often relied on the Canadian news as well. They will often report stuff we aren’t supposed to know about.

On Beck’s show Today they said there are 75,000 foreign national students originating from predominantly Muslim Counties in the US. 1 in 5 never show up for classes, that’s 15,000. As they say... Idle hands are the devil’s workshop. And, that’s a lot of hands.

It's a lot of A$$holes, too.

Don't worry. Obozzo and his big lesbo, er, big Sis have this covered up:

Liquified natural gas is very volatile.

Not true. LNG, Liquified Natural Gas won't even burn. It has to be vaporized first.

LNG is at -260°F, so when it leaks out and is exposed to outside air, it quickly warms up, becomes a vapor and can be ignited.

But before the methane vapor will ignite, it has to be mixed with air down to 15% concentration. By the time you get to a mixture that 85% air, the methane is so light it has risen up away from any leaking vessel on the ground. If it gets below 5% concentration, it can not be ignited either.

Because of these physical properties, it is very safe. However, a vessel that has been unloaded, is going to be full of vapor, not LNG. That is the more dangerous condition.

Is LNG flammable? / Is LNG explosive?

Thank you for the info. I just remember years go people worrying about LNG tankers being blown up by terrorists in Boston harbor, etc.

[thackney]

It seems to come up every time it is discussed.

Just to be clear, this fire was not LNG barges, it was barges used for Natural Gas Liquids (butane, pentane, etc).

[penelopesire]

Gotcha! Will remember that.

Easy to find the 15,000 missing students, follow the welfare checks.

[Hardraade]

God, I wish people like Patton and Pershing was.

This nonsense would have ended.

He probably fervently believed every word of that song.

Not if he was an admirer of President Reagan.

Gulf Horizon oil platform a few years ago. Waco Texas fertilizer plant last week,
And now this.
The evil minions are mighty busy.

I was just thinking this month, Boston, fertilizer plant, and now this.

Yea Sub Yards were real strict and for good reason. Sub fires are much harder to contend with. Also on the Nukes there that aspect of reporting such events as well.

We had one major fire when I was on the ship. We were in the yards for three months in 1978 & shipmate and myself happened to discover it. It was a stioreroom fire. Heat transfer went up three decks real fast. It was a long night. I wasn't on duty but geared up to help do compartment checks.

“...So he could grant more Chechnyan Muslims political asylum...”
And let’s not forget the thousands of Somalians George W. brought us with expedited immigration. And the thousands of Kurds from W’s Iraq.

I’ll give him a pass on the Kurds, who were owed something for backing us long ago only to be sold down the river by Kissenger.
