If many faultes in this book you fynde,
Yet think not the correctors blynde;
If Argos heere hymselfe had beene
He should perchance not all have seene.

@ohhellkell.bsky.social Have you bought a membership to Worldcon 84 in Anaheim this coming August?
And volunteered to be on panels?
And told them you are an author (with some books in hand)?
And did you know it is going to be literally across the street from Disneyland?

Wasn't this whole incident stolen straight from Tom Clancy, "Clear and Present Danger"?

I mean in the book and in the movie the President decides the drug smugglers are a threat, so they blow them up.

Of course in a book or movie you don't need a declaration of war, or Congress.

Slam the valves shut fast you get water hammer. Water hammer can spike the pressures in the pipes by factor of 3 - 5. Joints and connections can crack or pop.

"There wasn't any accident"

This round and round is a bit like the "Gun Control / AR-15 / automatic weapon / assault weapon" debate. They don't agree on terminology so people tend to talk past each other.
