That's what it sounds like to me Cindy. Especially if there was an explosion like I was referring to in post 1143. Not only would the pipeline/tanker "bleed" but anyone anywhere near it would be gone, most likely. Uggg.
In an interview with Energy Security Fay said a terrorist attack by a boat bomb - such as the one used against the USS Cole in 2000 or the French tanker Limburg off the coast of Yemen in 2002 - could cause at least half a cargo hold's worth of LNG to seep out of the ship and ignite. "In just over three minutes, the fire could spread two-thirds of a mile from the ship," Fay said. "There is nothing safety officials can do in such a case. They would have no time to evacuate people or to put out the fire." Fay also predicts damaging thermal radiation within a mile radius of the tanker which could set fire to thousands of homes and cause significant losses of blood and treasure. "Like the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, there exists no relevant industrial experience with fires of this scale from which to project measures for securing public safety," he says. Fay insists the methodology of his modeling is sound. Title of page: LNG tankers make spectacular targets for terrorists

The page cannot be found
???
And they better be able to back this up, it is being sourced ALL over the net
nothing on front page any longer?
Bookmarked that one, will dig through my "names". Thanks JP.
You sound like Hannity did on his radio show tonight ;)
"lawn of golden jewels"
Night Vel.
Actually, lawn could be short for lawn cloth and golden jewels could be encrusted in the lawn cloth. How poetic.
Thank you (blushing). Spent the day with my family and my FReeper friends here at TM (all of you) for the best one yet!
A red state
So where's this "Lawn of golden jewels" coming from? Sorry, I'm new to this.
january 1?
I was thinking about a line in the second post - three lamps in the west, two in the east, I believe.
Three sunsets, two sunrises. Could that be their timing? Sunset on the third day from the post? Have to check the post again. Damn. getting tired and my brain is starting to go all stream of consciousness.
but these are blue states don't they know that?
Nertz. three lamps east and two west. Three sunrises, two sunsets. Dawn of the third day, maybe?
Thanks for that info. You are correct that Texas has seemed to be on the terrorist "radar" for some time now.
if we all stick together in 08' as we just did, she cannot win
I pray that's true.
