If th...I have no idea how fast the plane was going. If they determined that the load was dumped specifically on the Black Forest I would assume it was more or less contained there. 13,000 gallons spread over a forest would be damaging to some degree regardless of how much it was dispersed due to speed, weather or any other factor. Now if they had just said it was dumped over Germany, that would be more widespread and maybe the damage would have been much less. I personally don't want any amount of jet fuel dumped anywhere near me.<BR/><BR/>We're looking for another house in this same area. I don't want my kids to have to change schools. They're in the Marietta City School System now and I refuse to let them attend Cobb County schools.John in Atlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129677446824739111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11077500.post-1117814469968782892005-06-03T12:01:00.000-04:002005-06-03T12:01:00.000-04:00Just playing devils advocate here.. but.. wouldn't...Just playing devils advocate here.. but.. wouldn't you need to factor in the speed of the jet, the rate at which the fule is dumped, the plane's altitude.. the weather conditions.. etc..<BR/><BR/>Then you have to factor in the risks associated with not dumping the fuel.. <BR/><BR/>Certainly dumping that much jet fuel over a 1sq mile area would result in toxic conditions. If it's spread over 50sq miles, is it harmful?<BR/><BR/>Where are you moving to?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564526640395324075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11077500.post-1117810505620631672005-06-03T10:55:00.000-04:002005-06-03T10:55:00.000-04:00If my calculations are correct, 45 tons of fuel is...If my calculations are correct, 45 tons of fuel is approximately 13,000 gallons give or take. That's a lot of liquid falling into streams, trees, habitats, etc. And they said it's no big deal? I won't even dump 4 quarts of oil in my yard like my redneck neighbor does.
