So if we know it will blow at some point over the next six days, how about we just blow it up now so the cleanup can begin?
Like "nuke it from orbit" or something?

Because sitting around for a week or so just waiting for the explosion is a much better option?

I for one look forward to pictures of this explosion going around on conspiracy memes for years to come.

A couple on the news last night was forced to evacuate by boat and they had to leave their dog at home. Screwed by the hurricane and then screwed again by the plant.

They could put it on Pay Per View. It would sell.

I worked in a plant with an ammonia unit.
Maybe you did. You obviously had nothing to do with the operation or maintenance of it.
quote:
Anhydrous ammonia needs to be stored at very low temps to keep it liquified for transportation.
If/when the ammonia storage tanks lose cooling the ammonia will heat up to outside temp and vaporize.
This is incorrect. The pressure is what liquefied it, not the temp. The lower temp and liquefication is a result of being placed under pressure, which is why it is used as a REFRIGERANT. AA will vent during normal temp changes, but under normal temp does not require cooling.

Im honestly surprised more stuff isnt exploding given the hundreds of refineries and chemical plants in the affected areas
Testament to how well engineered these places generally are

Some of the boat rescuers don't want "aggressive" dogs on the boat endangering others. Now, did the owners offer to put the dog in a cage and bring him on the boat? I don't know.

Yea there is no fricking way I am leaving my dog.

Looks like 10-12 deputies were hospitalized from inhalation.

Can't imagine what those fumes must be like.
