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.

On Call for review over Rubis spill

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".

Yeah, like he care.

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.

Any Captain that is not in charge of his ship is no Captain in the first place. I said all that already and this says it all without calling names...

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.

With these guys in charge, to me "death is better than taxes". With them at the helm most of us are dead any-which-ways. Speak for yourself cronies, you don't speak for me.

It's a buddie buddie ring thats how we operate and get away. It's about who is who and who knows who. If you get that right you can do anything you like and get away with anything and nothing happens. What a country.

A Captain not in command of his ship is no captain!
"...department said it had concluded its probe into the crash. Investigators found poor decision making of the crew as they attempted to descend without seeing the runway was the probable cause..." Probable? Not good enough, if this is the report it is saying nothing!

The weather was bad with low descending fog and clouds a few hundred feet from the ground.
mygb fpo airport landing systems (ILS) were not working.
The aircraft did not contain adequate quantity of fuel, insufficient to safely divert and to an altinate airport.

The plane should have never left the Nassau Airport in the first place regardless to who order the plane to leave. The pilots were responsible for making the decision and should have refused to go.

All factors directly contributed to the crash, but the pilots are the main cause for going, not because they descended without the runway in sight; they had to descend to locate the runway. I hope this report is not the actual conclusion, it does not make much sense.
