xul Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Last time it was corvette Cheonan, and this time it is: Five die in unexplained explosion on South Korean ship I wonder whom would be responsible for the event---N.Korean new dictator Kim Jong-Un or some poor quality ship builder Quote
Guest Derek L Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 The cargo ship, which usually carried refined petroleum products and chemicals, was carrying 80 tonnes of Bunker-C oil and 40 tonnes of diesel oil as its fuel when it exploded, the coastguard statement said. Oil leakage was not immediately reported. Different fuels, with different viscosities, flash points and cloud points……And I bet poor venting (for the "thicker fuels") and lack of training and/or complacency on the part of the crew = BOOM!!!
