Subject: Jet fuel spill

THIRD TIME LUCKY!!!!!!

I AM TYPING THIS IN CAPITALS. MAYBE SOMEONE WHO WORKS AT THE AIRPORT COMPANY OF SOUTH AFRICA WILL EXPLAIN TO THOSE WHAT IT INDICATES.

OUR DEARLY BELOVED MINISTER OF CRIME AND GRIME SHOULD READ THE COUNTRIES CONSTITUTION, THE WATER ACT  ETC. IT MIGHT GIVE HIM AN IDEA OF SOME OTHER CRIMES THAT FORM PART OF HIS JOB DESCRIPTION, INSTEAD  OF TELLING THE POPULACE THAT IT THEY WANT TO MOAN  ABOUT CRIME THEY SHOULD GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY.  

THE PRESS HAS WIDELY PUBLICISED THE MILLION PLUS JET FUEL SPILL AT O. T. AIRPORT. NO CRIMINAL CHARGES WERE LAYED AFTER THE FIRST SPILL NOR THE SECOND SPILL, THIS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN ITSELF. IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE IF THE DIRECTORS OF ACSA END UP IN JAIL. THAT IS IF ANYBODY CAN INTERUPT THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOING WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING.

THE AUTHORITIES ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AN AUDIT ON THIS TYPE OF INSTALLATION - WONDER WHAT THEY DID AFTER THE FIRST SPILL?

THE GAUTENG DEPT. OF ENVIRONMENT AND TOURISM I ASSUME WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AFTER THE FIRST SPILL, I WONDER IF THE THIRD SPILL WILL LIGHT A FIRE UNDER THEIR BACKSIDES.

MUCH PUBLICITY WAS GIVEN TO THE GAUTENG GREEN SCORPIONS, MAYBE THEY ARE OUT AND ABOUT LOOKING FOR GREEN SCORPIONS.

ACCORDING TO PRESS REPORT UPWARDS OF A MILLION LITRES OF JET FUEL LEFT THE AIRPORT UNNOTICED IT WANDERED DOWN THE DRAG MAKING PEOPLE FEEL ILL AND SOME OF IT WENT INTO BLOUPAN.

SOMEBODY WOKE UP AND AND AN UNCOMPACTED EARTH WALL WAS ERECTED TO STOP THE PROGRESS OF THE FUEL FLOW.

TWO DAYS LATER IT RAINED AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS AND THE WALL WAS WASHED AWAY. FORTUNATELY THE OUTFLOW EARTH WALL HELD. HAD THIS BROKEN THE POLLUTION WOULD HAVE FLOWED MERRILY ON ITS WAY THROUGH RESIDENTIAL AREAS TO HOMESTEAD LAKE THEN MIDDLE LAKE THEN CIVIC LAKE ( LAUNDRY) AND KLEINFONTEIN LAKE. AFTER THAT IT WOULD BE THE BLESBOK SPRUIT, VAALDAM AND THEN THE VAAL BARRAGE. IN CASE NO ONE KNOWS THAT IS WHERE MOST OF THAT SMELLY STUFF THEY CALL DRINKING WATER IN OUR TAPS COMES FROM.

THE SIGNS TELL THE STORY--THIS IS ALSO A NATURE RESERVE.

THE MATHS FUNDIS COULD WORK OUT HOW MANY BAGS OF THIS ABSORBENT WOULD HAVE TO BE USED IF THEY KNEW THE EXACT AMOUNT THAT WAS SPILLED AND HOW MUCH FUEL ENDED UP IN THE GROUNDWATER.

MAYBE THERE IS A BETTER WAY OF SPREADING THE MOSS INTENDED TO ABSORB SOME OF THE FUEL!!!!

THE INFLOW WALL THAT BURST.

THE ENTRANCE TO THE OUTFLOW WITH THE NON-COMPACTED EARTH WALL IN THE BACKGOUND.

 

NO WANDER SO MANY PEOPLE WITHIN AT LEAST 8 KILOMETRES SUFFERED FROM THE TOXIC FUMES AND DOCTORS HAD TO TREAT THEM SYMPTOMATICALLY, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SURE OF WHAT TO DO . I STAY NEAR HOMESTAD LAKE AND IN DESPERATION MOVED TO NEAR VILLIERS FOR THE WEEKEND.

THIS IS HEARSAY, BUT THE LUGGAGE CONVEYORS THAT WERE INSTALLED MANY YEARS AGO ARE IN A SHOCKING STATE. I SUPPOSE THE COMPANY IS TO BIG AND FAT FOR MACHINERY INSPECTORS TO EVEN PAY THE AIRPORT A VISIT. IT MAY ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET SOMEBODY WHO HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS TO GO ALONG AND CHECK OUT THE SERVICING OF THE PLANES. AGAIN AFTER MUCH HEARSAY  I
WILL NEVER FLY SAA AGAIN. MAYBE THAT IS WHY OUR POLITICIANS USE OTHER AIRLINES. SAA USED TO HAVE ONE OF THE BEST SAFETY RECORDS IN THE WORLD.
