nuce that some of us are making some noise concerning the RUBiS government report.
What is happening to the people of Marathon is not confined to the people of Marathon but the entire island of New Providence.
The chemical containments can not be removed from the water, changed, destroyed, nor controlled. For the amount of fuel dispersed into the water table (by accident) this means the chemicals are there for a long long time.
Please note that the chemicals are not stationary. Water is the vehicle of the contaminants and the contaminants spreads out further and further in a radius of one mile every 10 years (this includes moving through lime stone rock. All this info is online).
This means the whole island is in danger and all of us should take caution.
Great if not buying fuel from RUBiS would make a difference but there are many other people who don't care about the issues will keep the station open simply because there are more of them than us. Besides there are only three fuel supplier Esso-Exxon, SunOil-Shell and RUBiS-Chevron and the three supply all the fuel to BEC that it can afford to keep our lights on. I don't think 1k of us topping-off at RUBiS will make much difference.
The contaminants in the water penertrates soil and rock and radiates one mile every 10 years. The service station might have been leaking for some 20 years or so. So the contaminants (the chemicals not the slippery glossy substance) might very well be beyond the local water bottle nearby.
It would not be the first time the government have shut down businesses. Doed anybody remember the road construction? It was government bad handling of this project that filed away hundreds of small business into oblivion (including some large businesses as well). So what in the hell this man "talkin-bout".
They are trying to bamboozle and hoodwink these residents. One can only wonder how much are they profiting from their messed up presentation? The meeting was a mess.
This meeting was poorly designed, of all the questions asked they did not answer a single one. If the intent of this meeting was to put the residents hopes to rest then this meeting was a failure. Someones profiting from this oil spill but its not the people affected by it. This country is in serious trouble, believe me when I tell you we are on our own no ones looking out for us.
Turing off the Ground Proximity Warning System means absolutely nothing and have nothing to do with the crash of this aircraft. The aircraft did not hit the ground and most certainly the GPWS could not warn the pilot that it was approaching an object erected 300 feet in its path (in the clouds and fog). There are many warning sounds in the aircraft and since the aircraft is also equip with an altimeter which when correctly set can do the job when TAWS is absent. Since the terrain was not the challenge but rather the weather condition and locating of the runway for a proper approach then turning off TAWS from being a nuance made sense (no harm done here). While this report is good pastime it is certainly not one to raise eyebrows.
