Durban Harbour Fire

[Budza]

Drop Khulubuse Zuma into the harbour from a helicopter...

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

:crylaugh:

50kt nuke. Fireball diameter at initial detonation: 8km

I think you under estimate just how destructive a nuclear warhead is.

More like 300m radius...

Blubber is quite flammable...

:wtf:

Scaffolding. Check.

Possible welding machine or grinding work being done there?

Good observation. Sadly, this happens all too often. They never have enough liability to go after them for reparations. In this one, no liability policy would be anywhere near enough to respond.

Since the area is predominantly industrial and logistics it will be relatively sparsely populated. I personally would evacuate for about 1km around it just in case of chemical elements getting into the air.

Sage advice, TB. Reminds me of the 2015 Tianjin explosions. The secondary explosion was because of the chemicals and other assorted flammable substances the original fire triggered.

I doubt any local helicopter could lift that off the ground.

I was going to say "here, allow me.." but apparently I also need to spread the rep more. I last repped Sinbad in Feb., so that's weird.

For those with morbid sensibilities....

150KT Nuke detonated on the surface creates a fireball radius of 1.09km.

Then you haven't repped anyone since then. If he's your last, even if it's a year ago, it'll say that.

Repped several folk since then.
That's why it's weird.

What if it's one of the new russian nuclear power stations hidden in there?

Or all the chit Zuma speaks is stored there?

No ways, fireball radius of roughly 500m.

Ok, the dark cloud seems to be lessening somewhat, so maybe things are looking under control?

What is this 'repped' of which you speak? How do you 'repped' these members? :erm:

Jirre. I just dropped that 1000 Mt one on Sandton.

Let's just say I hope no drama queen from Morningside ever pisses off a well-connected Tsar.

Just realized I can see it from my front of our office, still a helluva lot of smoke coming off it...

That's one way to get the hyacinth off Harties in a hurry.

We can see the smoke from our offices in Pinetown.
