(OP) User ID: 11389419 United States 02/25/2012 08:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Must have been a heck of a fire - About 30 researchers, one alpinist and a Brazilian environment ministry representative who were at the base during the explosion were evacuated by helicopter to the Chilean Eduardo Frei base. The Argentine Air Force agreed to fly them to the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas, the Brazilian Navy said. [link to www.defensenews.com] Maybe a ploy to get the researchers out of the way? Any update on communications from the Russians who were drilling to Lake Vostek? No trees were killed in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. |

Fires from short circuits and ground currents, the places that typically get the auroras start getting fires from the CME sort circuits. If we are going to have solar doom look for more fires at higher latitudes, more aurora, more short circuiting and more flight plans changed. |
