Someone appears to be making a tangent attack on the nation's electric power supply. According to the West Virginia State Police, at around 8:30 p.m. on Monday, crews responded to a possible explosive device found on a towboat on the Ohio River near Williamstown in Wood County, West Virginia.

+2 # Sammis Power Plant, Stratton, OH... — Rosewood11 2021-10-28 01:09

For several years, I lived in Steubenville, Ohio, south of the Sammis Plant. I did a great deal of traveling along Ohio Rt. 7 to Youngstown, OH during that time. Sammis is so huge that Rt. 7 goes beneath some of the original smoke stacks, and barges, trucks and trains brought coal in all day/night long before obama got his grubby hands on power. Trains of full coal cars--often 80-100 cars long used to pass my home every 10 minutes like clockwork!!! Sammis is a BIG plant--#2 of all the First Energy plants. We were told in Steubenville that the power it generates goes to Cleveland, OH, around 100 miles to the north.

When obama caused that plant to close, jobs in the entire Ohio Valley suffered. The trains all but stopped, trucks on Rt. 7 (a major trucking route) were cut way back, river barges didn't move, etc. Coal cars were sitting on sidings along the road with weeds growing in them. In addition to closing Sammis, obama caused several smaller coal-fired plants along the Ohio River to be closed permanently and torn down. This caused no end of problems for coal miners in WV, OH and PA. With obama having as much influence as he currently does, it could all happen again, God help us all!!!

I was a new mother when O was President and didn’t realize the devastating effects his policies had. This makes me sad and not a little angry.

amateur hour.
t
the pros would have blown the barge in the shallow channel. and 10lbs of coal would have covered the ''suspicious package'......

this is theater.

# Sammis, cont'd... — Rosewood11 2021-10-28 07:31

Sammis also sets directly on one of the 21 locks and dams on the Ohio River. The width of (4-lane) Rt.7 is how far the plant sits from the dam. There are two sets of locks on the Ohio side of the river between the dam and the Sammis plant. Any detonation of a barge in the lock would do major damage to the entire complex, and would definately take out Rt. 7--the major through road/truck route along the Ohio River. The surge of water would also effect all the other dams on the Ohio, and would mess up navigation immensely.

Yet most Americans prepare for nothing except the next stupid fad......

He just said on the show, for the second time since it began tonight, that half the country heats with propane. This is FALSE. Propane is used by 5% of US homes. 50% use natural gas. The rest use electric, wood, and heating oil (in that order).

+2 # Suzuki, you are wrong .... — BanjoDoug 2021-10-27 22:45

About 61% of homes use natural gas, followed by propane (43%), wood (12%), and fuel oil (7%). All remaining fuels are used in only one percent of homes.Aug 24, 2012

The link you posted talks about heating oil, not propane.

A few people use it on Indian Reservations. Not sure about elsewhere. Probably some poor folks in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and thereabouts.

+1 # Propane — Kad2866 2021-10-27 22:43

Propane is pretty popular around here in central Kentucky.
Many heat with it. Once or twice a year you get your tank filled up. It used to be cheaper than other methods but not sure now.
Also used on the water heaters. Even new homes sometime use propane. It's usually in the suburbs/rural areas where natural gas isnt available.
Many homes have fireplaces that use propane, usually just for added warmth, not heating the entire home.

I've used propane for heat since the early 1990s. It also powers my water heater and cook stove. I have a wood stove also.

Use wood full time,have a back up propane wall heater,haven't used it in years.Also,water heater,stove,dryer,grill & a couple of back up lights in kitchen-dining room...when we finished building this house in the early 90's we didn't plan on getting power,I am glad we did,though.But do have what we need to just switch back to no electric,if the power goes down (which it does a dozen or so times a year)

I commented about shutting down nuke plants for a known disaster coming , it just feels like it. Two times the coal being shipped, also 4 years ago dope dealers bragged about bringing heroine up and down river under the coal on the barges

So parents at school board meetings are 'terrorists' but people who plant explosives on coal barges are something like 'eco-friendly'.

Yep that is pretty much it, in a nut-shell.

I'm really, really, tired of this stupid game of 'wokism'...

Wow! Trying to bomb your own infrastructure.
Must be a shitty life being a federal agent. Do they know they're expendable too?

You hit the nail on the head! As soon as I heard this I thought inside job.

It would be interesting to know if these expected
explosive devices were equipped with GPS,
radio receiving capabilities and triggers.

Such could allow for detonation at a strategic
point along the transition path for maximum
blockage of future river traffic.

Look up "gray terror."

+12 # Thank God they intercepted the explosives. — lumpy 2021-10-27 16:25

I wonder how they found the explosive devices? I bet there is a strange story.

# How many more "devices" are there?... — Rosewood11 2021-10-28 01:15

They'd best be checking every barge between Pittsburgh, PA and St.Louis, MO--and up and down the Mississippi, for that matter!!!

+19 # Another potential false flag — Erfman 2021-10-27 16:21

It's sad we have to think this way but a "terrorist" attack on shipping would cast suspicion on every ship as being a possible bomb waiting to go off.

This would further inhibit the supply chain and give the powers that be a reason other than their own poor policies for the supply blockage.

The following reactions would be "for our safety". More draconian measures for our own good...

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

BINGO! Good call.

Terrorists wear suits. Suits and ties and fancy dresses and pantsuits.
