oops, sorry
Well, if the prices go up too much, I guess people will lower themselves back down to buying French wine.
Yep, and I think it was titled something like "any ole port in the storm." I really liked the actor who played the vineyard owner.
The building had 2 main bays, separated by a large concrete firewall. Bays are large enough to fit a submarine into them.
The report indicates it was the inner bay or center of roof that had the fire. It had a hot mopped roof if my memory serves me properly.
The eastern bay, did have some fire sprinkler systems installed in some interior offices and restrooms. We had to core through the thick exterior bldg walls to install water mains about 15 years ago.
Building still housed some towed phase array sensors a couple of decades ago. I never knew it held components of BigBoy. /tin foil hat on ... maybe the Philadelphia Experiment hopped through time but didn't anticipate Mare Island being closed. That building had some micks and corners rarely if ever occupied. An ideal spot for time travel. Can't say more or the Men in Black will get too curious. /tin foil hat off
I'm a bit surprised it wasn't sprinkled. When Vellejo took it over, they must have relaxed zoning requirements to get cash flow running. I would think it would have been mandatory to sprinkle and detect anytime the building use was changed, especially to housing that type of hazmat via local/city building inspectors.
