So they're gonna blow up the Trojan Nuke Plant on Sunday??

[FORD]

I always thought it was one of the uglier landmarks you would see driving down to Portland, but it does have at least one claim on history, as the inspiration for this better known nuke plant on TV....



...though Blinky the three eyed trout was never actually found in the Columbia River, to my knowledge....



Anyway, the primary reason this article caught my eye is not just the surprise that they're destroying the plant itself, but the name of the company involved in the demolition, and the description of how it will happen.........

Cooling tower implosion details

The 499-foot cooling tower is scheduled to be imploded on May 21, 2006. PGE has chosen a contractor, Controlled Demolition Inc. (CDI), which has safely imploded a number of large structures, including the Kingdome in Seattle. Every demolition bid proposal PGE received recommended implosion of the tower as the safest demolition method with the least community and environmental impact. The Trojan cooling tower is made of concrete and steel and contains no hazardous materials. It never contained any radioactive material, and all asbestos has been removed.

CDI is obtaining all necessary permits and coordinating the event with local, state and federal agencies. There will be short-term closures of the nearby river, roads, railway and air space, immediately prior to and during the implosion.

To implode the tower, CDI will place explosives in the lower half of the tower which, when detonated, will cause the tower to fall into itself. Debris will be contained almost entirely within the tower's footprint. The implosion, from the first detonation of explosives to the settling of the tower, will take between eight and 15 seconds. After the tower is imploded, the concrete will be crushed to three-inch pieces or smaller and left on site. The steel will be recycled.

Now does that description, and that company name ring any memory bells out there?

Well, at least they had the decency to take the asbestos out this time.

What is it, FORD?

I know the founder of the company is a liar and possibly a thief....

Other than that I'm stumped.

Controlled Demolition Inc is the same contractor who was awarded the cleanup job at the World Trade Center, which would be an odd thing to do if it were NOT a controlled demolition.

And the description given of how the Trojan tower will collapse is almost a verbatim accounting of how the WTC towers collapsed.

So I don't know if they are liars or thieves, but they sure seem to be ready to help out liars and thieves at the drop of a hat. Or a huge concrete & steel structure, as the case may be.

That's a bit of a reach.

Perhaps your tinfoil hat needs some adjustment?

It's simply mind-boggling that a company that knows how to clean up destruction was asked to do it. And that damn gravity pulled it's tricks again and made buildings that were coming down have the same reactions as other building that have come down.


You really should try to bounce this kind of stuff off a dumber crowd.

Some very smart people say there is something fishy about the World Trade Center. The towers collapsed so fast this would be impossible without having some of the structure cleared away with explosives. It should have taken longer for the towers to collapse because of friction and compression.

Another fishy thing about the towers is no high rise building ever has completly failed due to fire. Some fires have burned over 1000 degrees F for hours with no catastrophics failure. Most the fuel was vaporized and burned in the big fire balls when the airplane hit the towers. It would have been impossible for the fire to reach the 2300 degrees F tempurature needed to melt the steel.

People are finally comming out and saying it doesn't add up. Some are now saying the Pentegon was never hit by an airplane at all because the large metal structures like the landing gear and the engines where never recovered.

This thread is a bunch of bullshit and needs to be closed.

Fuck you FORD for floating this turd and abandoning it for someone else to wipe up.

Any more bullshit theories you'd like to get off your chest?

[bueno bob]

That's funny...I hadn't heard a damn thing about it until now...

Great......

As Nitro indicated, a lot of people don't think it's "bullshit" anymore.

And if you had watched what I just did with an open mind, you would have to question it yourself.....

Look at the people you are talking about though...
