Plenty of intact barrels.

Officials are trying to determine if any bourbon spilled.


So we don’t even know if they lost anything.

You are correct. Mythbusters showed how difficult it was to bust a barrel open.

But I can't imagine the hell it's going to be getting these picked up and put back in a rickhouse...of course I could also see them just leaving it. "Pile aged" The opportune once in a lifetime rotation of the barrels allowed for a unique and unprecedented interaction with the Kentucky environment.

They’ll just clear the debris and carry them out with forklifts or cranes.

That'd make for quite the bonfire, though.

I read that the other half that is still up is leaning pretty good. They think it will fall due to heavy thunderstorms and wind expected tonight.

That's a big problem. Alcohol is a big time fish toxin
