Thames Barrier Attack

[needawin]

Counter terror police suspect there could be an attack on the Thames Barrier causing widespread devastation in the City.
So what do the BBC do.
On line they show a detailed drawing of the barrier and how it works!
Just in case the terrorists were unsure where to put their explosives I guess. You couldn't make it up!

Calm doon and Google 'how does the Thames barrier work?'.

It's all out there and has been for years, but I bet you knew that already.

The info was already in the public domain. Google it and you'll find hundreds of articles, pictures, diagrams and animations. Did you think it was secret?

Do you have a link ?
The Barrier has been shown to the public so often I'd be surprised if details were not already in the public domain.

talking of stupidity and bombs.....

After having their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that was
enough (they could not afford a larger doublewide cabin).

So, the husband went to his doctor (who also treated mules) and told him that he and his wife/cousin didn't want to have any more children.

The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy
that could fix the problem. The doctor instructed him to go home, get a
cherry bomb (fireworks are legal in Alabama), light it, put it in a
beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.

The Alabamian said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man,
but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

So, the couple drove to Georgia to get a second opinion. The Georgia
physician was just about to tell them about the procedure for a
vasectomy when he noticed that they were from Alabama.

This doctor instead told the man to go home and get a cherry bomb, light it, place it in a beer can, hold it to his ear and count to 10.

Figuring that both of the physicians couldn't be wrong, the man
Went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can
up To his ear and began to count.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5... ", at which point he paused, placed the beer
can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand.

it's never been a secret. I doubt that damaging it would bring devastation; you'd still have to wait for the next super tide, and terrorists prefer instant destruction rather than waiting for nature to take its course.
