Will The Detroit River Survive a New DRIC Bridge

A secret video of tests undertaken by DRIC have now been uncovered during a covert operation undertaken by a team of dedicated Blogmeister moles.

The concern has been raised that, notwithstanding the DRIC peer review by experts, if an error has been made in the calculations for the location of the DRIC bridge, a catastrophe of immense proportions could take place in the region because of the salt mines and brine wells.

Here is the hidden until now DRIC video of the results of the tests that have been kept out of the public record until this time.

Those of you with homes near the river and the various waterways in the region have beeen warned!

This is definitely a matter that our NDP MP, Brian Masse, needs to raise immediately in Parliament along with the Truck Ferry land access issue.




Seriously, I could NOT write a BLOG on the DRIC Announcement again. So thanks to a reader I was pointed to this video.

From a comment on Google Earth to explain what happened:
  • "Lake Pelgneur home of Rip Van Winkle's Gardens and a large salt dome, which up until 1980 was mined by Diamon Crystal inc. On a peaceful November morning in1980 the lake was accidently drained into the salt mine located directly under the lake. A well known gas and oil company was prospecting for crude oil, when the interor of the mine was penetrated. As all the water from the lake drained into the mine a tugboat, a string of barges, and two oil rigs got swallowed into the hole.

    Normally, water from the lake flowed out through the Delcambre Canal to Vermilion Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.With the emptying of the lake, however, the water was flowing from the Delcambre Canal into the crater. This reverse flow continued for the next two days until the lake was once again filled with water, and the normal flow out into the canal recommenced.

    As this happened, nine or ten barges that had been sucked into the sink hole, popped to the surface, one-by-one, like giant corks that had been held at the bottom of a pail."
