What Happened To The Toxic Cloud?

[Starman 2112]

There appears to be no news of the fallout from the Buncefield oil depot fire.

What has happened to the toxic cloud?

Are scientists still mapping it's progress?

Has there been any 'fall out' yet?

I have heard on good authority, that the government have drafted in a specialist air quality and purification outfit to clean up the 'fall-out' and risk from pollution...

Its funny how somebody always manages to put a tribal warefare, ''rather them than us'' sort of viewpoint to these type of questions. If you were PC you should say I hope it comes down in deep ocean away from any population centres. But that would kill off a few more of the poor few remaining fish that still manage to exist in the oceans these days, (80% of all fish have gone from the worlds oceans now by the way)

Hi qapmoc, Is that true about the fish stocks?? I thought things were bad, but not that bad.

Everyone in the South East of England is doomed but the Government don't want to start a panic.
Crisis......what crisis?

The toxic cloud has probably dumped its contents on the surface of my vegetable patch which until now I had previously prided myself on being organic. Now I will probably get some horrible disease in ten years time as a result of eating my parsnips !

Isn't it a good thing it wasn't a cocaine-making centre, otherwise half the country would by now be running around legless, headless and mindless.

Hi Latecomer, I am really sorry to tell you that is probably at least that bad, read this and worry. Some of the big fish are 90% down on old pre-fishing industry levels.

qapmoc. Thanks for the info, i was happier in my ignorance!!!! A very very depressing read.

Sorry to upset your evening, but I have personally seen the decline in Tuna over the last few years. Here we get ships coming every one or two weeks from the seychelles to unload frozen tuna for canning and I have been watching the change in the cargos year by year, each ship brings around around 3000 tons.

Maybe ten years ago the tuna would be about two metres long and maybe 30+cm across the wide part of the body and two men would have trouble to lift one - now they are about 50-75 cm long and 10-15 cm across and you can carry one in each hand!!

Hi again qapmoc! There must be an answer to this horrendous problem but i fear for the worst. Here is an interesting fact i heard lately on a tv documentary. The earth has already gone through 90% of the time when it can sustain life..! The Sun is going to heat up and burn us to a cinder, apparently. Cheerio...!
