Million-plus gallon Sulfuric Acid Spill in Galveston, TX

Let me talk you in off the ledge Hoss.

- This spill was at least 8 to 10 miles from Galveston Bay.
- The environmental crazies and their friends in the news media were disappointed with the facts.
- It wasn't in the DuPont rat poison plant in LaPorte,
- Never trust water that doesn't have an oily sheen and smell like hydrocarbon
- This place is the Petrochemical Capitol of the World, not a hair and nail salon on the Upper West Side.

In 1966 I had a summer job on the Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay with an Army Corps of Engineers surveying gang. We had to get in the water off a small boat a dozen times a day. By the end of the week the skin was peeling off your leg like a bad sunburn. Rule Number One was never get in water much above your knees.
