    Hagar’s Ramblings

    I worked a scene like that at a tank in Port Arthur about 10 years on a barge. About 25 years ago I was at a swat training day and we were training with the Coast Guard. We were practicing assaulting a ship with active shooters on board. At one point we were going down a ladder on the ship and when the first officer got to the bottom of the ladder, a CG instructor tapped him on the shoulder and said you are down. So the second officer quickly moved down the ladder to the door to cover the fallen officer as if he had been shot. The instructor tapped him and said now you are down. I was the third officer in this stack and I started pushing my team backwards at that point and retreating up the ladder. The Coast Guard instructor asked me what the heck I was doing. I said I don’t know what just happened but I know I’m not going down that ladder. I heard no shots and saw no blood yet there were officers falling. The scenario was that there was a gas leak which is absolutely possible on a ship or to go into an enclosed container with nitrogen, some other gas or chemical or even a rusty room could kill you. That was the lesson. Don’t rush to your death when you see people start going down.

    I believe in the Power of Prayer but I also believe some people just can’t be reasoned with an just want to watch the World Burn. Those people should be taken out. Period. End of Story.

    Very true. This is what I found…. I have had no occasion to consider this before but you’d probably be dead. Gasoline has a density of around 7 vs water 8.3 so you’d be 20% less buoyant. As humans we tend to be just a little more buoyant in water, we would sink like a rock in gasoline. Swallowing even just a little gasoline will make you very, very sick. I think you would drown quickly with little hope of successful revival if its depth was over your head and nothing to hold onto. You would sink much sooner than you ran out of breath from holding it. Fumes are secondary. Then when you exhaled you’d be done for,

    In the tank fatalities that I worked and talking with witnesses at the scene, when one man collapsed, another went in to get him out. He apparently at some point realized the mistake and tried to climb up the ladder to get out but did not make it which was only a few feet. We will never know but in my opinion the second man died as a hero because he probably realize what was happening to the first man. I believe he thought that he could go down to get the man and pulled him up a few feet. The speed at which he was overcome was very quick. Nitrogen is not caustic and is not poisonous in itself. It is not like being in chemical fumes where you can feel it in your lungs, your eyes might burn, etc. Without oxygen you probably collapse in less than five seconds. From the way the firefighters on scene described it to me, going into a pure nitrogen environment is almost like sucking the oxygen out of your body. You are breathing in what is a major component of the atmosphere we live in but there is no oxygen in it to keep you alive. I think in the case that I worked, the second man probably started getting lightheaded within a couple of seconds, realized what was happening and tried to get out but could not make it up the 6-8 foot ladder. I asked the firefighters just for an opinion, had somebody with a breathing apparatus been able to go down immediately and get the men out and immediately start giving oxygen and CPR, would they have recovered I was told that likely yes. The nitrogen does not kill a person but simply keeps your body from getting oxygen because there is none. We always hear that if a person can get oxygen restored within four or five minutes, there is a good chance of survival. Like if a person goes underwater and you were able to get him out immediately, if you could get CPR started and get oxygen into the person, there’s a good chance of survival and maybe without any lasting effects. I am guessing that the problem with that information is that even though your body can survive for a few minutes without oxygen, that does not mean you will be conscious. You might go unconscious within moments and will depend on someone else to restore your oxygen within a very few minutes. That might be some dangerous bit of information because if a person believes he can take a deep breath and go into a compartment and have a couple of minutes to retrieve another person, that could be a fatal mistake. In truth under exertion you might be only able to hold your breath for maybe 20 or 30 seconds. The moment you have to take another breath, you are likely at the point of no return. You had better get out of the compartment within a couple of seconds or you also will go down. We might be able to live for 3 to 5 minutes without oxygen. We can only stay conscious however for 3 to 5 seconds. In my non-medical opinion…..

    Dick Butkus

    Teams had to change some of their favorite plays because of Butkus. When asked why he hit so hard, Butkus said he didn’t want the player to have to get up and look to see what numbered jersey tackled him……he wanted him to already know it was Butkus. Butkus would also call QB cadence and was known for spitting on the football while the center was about to snap it. He was one-of-a kind. This is from memory before watching this video.

  16. This year's Yates team is as about as young as Silsbee. Calvin Murphy's grandson is the starting PG for Yates and he is a freshman.

    Thanks @TxHoopsfor all your input on Lamar and also other topics as well. I am willing to excuse this year with all the covid and injuries. I just can't understand why we never can have a decent basketball team.

  25. I actually voted for Cruz in the primaries. Of course when Trump became the Republican candidate it was a no brainer to vote for him over Hillary. I never took Trump serious until he got into office an started putting America First in his decision’s. After the first year I started thinking he could end up being the Best President ever in my lifetime. An in my opinion I believe he is the best president we had in the last 50 years. Just a Reminder…..Trump Won his Re-election. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

    Headline coming soon - “Exxon-Mobil has record-breaking quarter”…….also, just had a thought. Ukraine should hire Fauci. He’ll declare C-19 is running rampant - DECLARE social distancing and govt shutdowns and Putin would have to withdraw - I mean what choice would he have?

    Biden can’t wage a war on communism abroad when he doesn’t even challenge it here. Of course Biden is not calling the shots anyway.

  32. I don’t get all the hate on Abbott but maybe that’s me. Overall, I think he’s done an admirable job and truly believe he’s a good man. In politics, that’s about the best we can hope for it seems. Sad but true.

  33. Trump had our nation and our economy prosperous and secure just 1.5 years ago. I say this even though Trump was no where near my first choice as a candidate. Now, since Big Tech and the hard left media manipulated the election to place Biden in as president, the nation and the now the whole world has gone to HELL. Thanks Dims.

  37. I think it’s more of a positional thing. Lamar had plenty of sub 6 foot 2-guards this year. Doesn’t work real well at that level. Brooks likes his PGs distributing the ball. He needs to go find some. To be honest this year, Adams was light years ahead of ALL the other guards at doing this. And he is actually a 2 who has the size to play and defend the position.

    Hagar’s Ramblings

    One breath without oxygen knocks one out. Still able to breathe but taking in no oxygen. When the oxygen is depleted from the blood, death occurs. Funny (not comical) how Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air we breathe, but without oxygen, we collapse. Breathing pure nitrogen displaces the oxygen in the blood and will eventually kill you. Worked in the plants for several years and this is what I learned. We were always worried about H2S. 700 parts per million was enough to kill you. You could still be rescued if someone happened to gear up with fresh air to save you. I have worked as a hole watch with a sentinel. Sealed vessels contain no oxygen. A man who worked for our company fell into a tank under a nitrogen purge and died. Sad day for all of us.
