Gulf Oil Disaster Watch: VIDEO- Water along Alabama’s coast.. explodes!

Posted on Saturday, July 17, 2010, 3:18 pm by GottaLaff

Water and sand along Alabama’s coast should contain no more than five parts per million of oil or petroleum, according to Bob Naman, an analytical chemist. But, the samples we collected tested much higher.

A-a-a-and…. Bang!

Children are playing in this dispersant stew. Someone tell me, why are parents allowing their kids to get anywhere near this stuff?

Thanks for posting that.

I remember from high school and college chemistry using those types of seperators and mising up a compound with ether as the solvent to casue seperation. It wasn't unusual for the heat from you hand to cause the very volitle ether to expand and blow the stopper out.

I am guessing something of the sort happened to that sample, probably being mechanically mixed, with a machine holding the stopper on, something else had to give.

It is amazing that there would be that much volitale material still in the tiny amount of dispersed oil that that been exopsed for days or weeks to water, air and sun.
