Cont: Luton Airport Car Park Fire III

[smartcooky]

Which is the complete opposite of what you were alleging earlier.

I have to admit this thread has been fascinating. Watching her Vixensplaining as she desperately twists, turns, writhes, wriggles, squirms, contradicts, contorts and backpedals herself into something resembling the Gravelly Hill Interchange, and all for the purpose of keeping the conspiracy going, has been truly comedic to watch!!

I mean, are you not entertained?

You're really not grasping what that report is describing. Waterfalls of burning fuel were coming from fires on the floor above. The drains were not pre-filled with fuel waiting to burn. The half inch drain slot in each floor, with an aluminium gutter under it, caused fire to spread along each floor and down. The spilled fuel burning in the gutter caused a blowtorch like effect up through the drain slot which spread fire right along its length. When the gutter melted, it rained burning fuel down on the floor below.

Er no! The fire on level four had not yet started. It is describing HOW it started, having sealed off two rows of burning cars (30 of them) on level 3.

That is what I meant, so if the B7 chap was filmed from behind and the video was blurry, it would still be apparent it was a short numberplate. So if someone then claims to have filmed from the front and announces a six-digit number plate (visible only to themself), that is when you say, well, excuse me, but that doesn't appear to match the back numberplate which looks like a short one.

You mean a short number, not a short plate? B7 was on a full width plate.

Rear number plates can also be 2-row style, which gives a shorter plate. In modern cars, 4 characters above 3 characters. If it's blurry, that would just look short.

Did you mean 138? That seems to apply to Northern Ireland specifically.

Briefed. Hmm.

So the government minister doesn't have to write the script for every post-incident press conference?

No, that one is Scotland. There is a similar one of NI and Wales.

Nobody said the government minster writes them literally. The government minister has a staff of several thousand to deal with his department's business.

As I said, woeful.

There is no conspiracy theory. It is all in your mind. It is all business as usual, with the added entertainment of the EVangelists insisting that lithium-ion looking flames is just an electrical fault in the engine bay.

Add page numbering to the list of things Vixen doesn't understand.

The drain slot in the floor is presumably the route the fire took to spread to level 4 but the dramatic waterfalls of burning fuel described as being seen on level 3 were fuel from burning cars on level 4. That effect was not how fire started on level 4 but a consequence of that fire.

Hilarious.

All you do is engage in conspiracy theory mongering based entirely on your own self-aggrandizing lies that you tell.

Maybe on vintage cars but here in the EU numberplates and the font used for the registration number is all regulated and standardised.

Er, no.

However, the fire had already spread to Level 4

We're not in the EU.

No. The first burning cars were on Level 3. Therefore it is logical that Level 4 started burning afterwards.

You are aware that not all EU countries use the same font, right?

Part of my job is literally looking at number plates from all over the world, including the EU, and the EU does not have a standardised font.

FE-Schrift for example is used in only 6 countries in the EU.

The UK, which if you recall is where Luton is, not only uses a different font, but does allow some minor variations in the font used by people.

The 138th page of the pdf concerns Scotland but it's page 137 of the document. Page 138 of the document is about Northern Ireland.

Luton is in Bedfordshire which is in neither of those nations.

Are you now claiming each fire incident commander's press conferences are scripted and pre-written for him by a government Minister's minions?

 

[Vixen]

Hilarious.

<snip invective>.

Focus on the topic.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

Even if we were she's still wrong.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

Focus on the topic.

I am. Your conspiracy mongering and self aggrandizing lies. I mean that's all you ever bring to the discussion.

It's your document. That document is an in-house handbook. It is largely concerned with in-house leadership skills in handling fire-related incidents.

This after someone posted a link just today explaining the various standard shapes and sizes permitted for UK number plates.
