18 Sep 07 - 06:05 PM (#2152184) Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Alcohol Related Tragedy From: Peace Our department would have had that blaze extinguished in a trice. The fire tetrahedron includes heat, oxygen, sustained chemical reaction and fuel. Remove any one of those things and the fire goes out. In this case I would have suggested that we deplete the fuel load. |

18 Sep 07 - 09:31 PM (#2152324) Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Alcohol Related Tragedy From: JohnInKansas It looks to me like that's mostly diesel smoke, or at worst some of the paper/cardboard packing. The Jack, if lit, should burn hot enough to clean up some of the black soot from other sources even, although at the normal 80 proof it would be pretty hard to get much of it going. Be sure to visit the nearby damaged freight outlets to see if they've got some bargains in about a week - if the revenooers don't get it all. John |

19 Sep 07 - 10:41 AM (#2152653) Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Alcohol Related Tragedy From: GUEST,T.Total What's the difference in describing something as "80 Proof" and something as "40% alcohol by volume"? And when something is "45% alcohol by volume", what Proof does that make it? |
|
19 Sep 07 - 10:45 AM (#2152656) Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Alcohol Related Tragedy From: Wesley S That would make it 90 proof. "Proof" is double the alcohol content by volume. |

22 Sep 07 - 12:43 PM (#2154979) Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Alcohol Related Tragedy From: Mr Red degree proof is based on the concentration that when poured over gunpowder it will ignite = 100 deg = proof spirit. 100% ABV = 180 deg proof. You do the maths but it ain't that important as the concequences of drink driving. Is is OK to say "Fire Water" or is there a more PC expression these days? |

22 Sep 07 - 06:01 PM (#2155238) Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Alcohol Related Tragedy From: Peace George Bush is an alcohol related tragedy! "NELSON Mandela yesterday assured the world that, contrary to the impression given by the President of the US, reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Even for blunder-prone George Bush, it was a gaffe of toe-curling proportions. Defending his stand on the war, Mr Bush said Saddam Hussein's brutality made it impossible for a unifying leader to emerge to halt civil warfare that has torn Iraq apart. "I heard somebody say, 'Where's Mandela?'," Mr Bush said. "Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas." The South African authorities were besieged with calls after Mr Bush's speech, which was carried live on TV. Many viewers feared the country's first black president and Nobel Peace Prize winner had died." |
