20040908/od_nm/odd_dutch_manure_dc "Something You Really Don't Want to Happen ... THE HAGUE (Reuters) - A Dutch driver was covered in hundreds of liters of manure when a tank burst on a lorry carrying fertilizer, police said on Tuesday. 'It was a nice night ... so he probably opened his window when he stopped at a traffic light, and then -- (it) happened,' said Dana Kragten, spokeswoman for police in rural Drenthe province. 'The tank had a small window which burst, probably due to pressure ... The man said he had no time to back away his car or close his window.' Police said the man, whose car was sprayed with an estimated 1,700 liters (370 gallons) of liquid manure, escaped injury though his car had to be towed away." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...757&e=1&u=/nm/ 20040908/od_nm/odd_dutch_manure_dc |

What few demonstrations they use to have were handled by spraying down the crowd with tanker trucks. One might suppose they filled them up at fire hydrants but they did have a suction hose that would fill the tanks from a convenient sewer system manhole. If cold water worked, cold ****ty water was probably better. They could only lift the water 34' and the HP of the pump was.......and the tank was …..gallons and..... Another fluid mechanics problem for the engineers. |
