Re: Rumors and the danger

I honestly think the world is going nuts. This guy might TRY to rent a tanker, but first he's going to have to get the "thousands of pounds" from wherever he's keeping it, bring it to an airport and file a flight plan. I highly doubt that the FAA is going to let someone put thousands of stuff on a tanker plane when they don't know what EXACTLY that stuff is. Ain't gonna happen.
Nice effort on his part, though.




True story.

The folks at Dynomat were (by proxy) clients of mine once upon a time when I ran a design studio. They were working with a company that had B-57 Canberras that were loaded with some of the stuff and then dropped onto storms.

I'm sure they have material data safety sheets for the stuff or else nobody would be able to work around it. Consequently, they would be able to tell folks exactly what was in the stuff.

The company that owned the Canberras have since *snicker* evaporated from this town (I hear that they are being sought for defrauding their investors). I'm sure that's the only reason they haven't dumped anything on a storm this season and why they're trying to find a tanker to rent now.

/true story.
