Also another point about Project Plowshare -- atomic bombs actually don't produce as much long-term radioactive fallout as people think. Fat Man contained about 6 kg of plutonium, 15% of which was fissioned. Obviously the instantaneous radiation at the moment of detonation was extremely lethal, but after that first millisecond you've only got <6 kg of radioisotopes scattered around plus a whole lot of short-lived (days) neutron-activated dirt to deal with. People were reoccupying and starting to rebuild Nagasaki within a couple of months. Compare that to say Chernobyl where the reactor contained over 190,000 kg of fuel and it burned for 2 weeks. The salt the earth / nuclear winter scenario is a situation that would only result from a full scale nuclear exchange, where you have hundreds of megatons of bombs going off all at once. And even then nuclear winter is considered today to be kind of sketchy science (though the fallout in that situation would be much more like Chernobyl than Nagasaki).

Fun fact: In parts of Germany you are advised not to pick mushrooms because they are apparently really good at concentrating the fallout Chernobyl that rained across Europe.

It's your standard bioaccumulation. The higher up the food chain you go, the more radioactive particles. Same reason there are radioactive boars — they eat the plants/mushrooms.

Use air bags like is done in salvage to lift the ship up and out of the bank. We’re going to need a bigger bag.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRFWQjGlZng

So this is officially the greatest act of boatfuckling for a while right? I know no ships actually sunk but the sheer number of delayed boats must be staggering. And no end in sight.

Platystemon posted:And it was a serious undertaking to clear it, taking more than a year after the diplomatic issues were resolved. They probably wouldn't want to, though, the canal is very lucrative: "Suez Canal charges vary according to the size of the vessel, its routeing, the number of containers carried and the proportion of laden boxes, but as a rule of thumb, a fully laden 20,000 teu container vessel on a headhaul Asia-Europe sailing could expect to pay around $700,000 in transit fees."

Local equivalent of 11'8 bridge. Earlier today a guy hauling a fork lift hit a bridge, closing all four lanes of the road and causing unknown (but potentially tens of thousands dollars) damage to both the forklift and the bridge. Best part, he argued that he wasn't over height. Yes sir, that bridge came out of nowhere (it's a 16'6 bridge).

There are at least a hundred ships backlogged that would have passed through in the time since it's been stuck. That number increases every minute. This incident is going to cost billions.

Elon should propose a movable canal lock type thing which is just an incredibly large water filled tank on wheels that boats sail into and it takes them across the land.

Yeah, cost of having the ships hang out or detour rather than doing something lucrative, cost of the delayed arrival of whatever is on those ships, it's gonna be insane.

Why not a single boat that carries multiple boats so you can get more boats through at once? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2158305/Thats-load-ships-The-carrier-boat-hold-22-barges--oil-rig--back.html
