I experienced my first magnitude 7.0-7.5 earthquake when I was almost 23 months old. It almost knocked me to the ground. That 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on June 23 at 10:15 a.m.[1] with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms[2] and 7.5 Mw.[6] The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon, to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the history of British Columbia, but damage was restricted because there were no heavily populated areas near the epicentre, where severe shaking occurred. There were, however, a whole series of landslides in the Forbidden Plateau area there were a whole series of landslides blocked streams and rivers to create lakes. The first hikers into the area gave them great names, Landslide Lake, Rock Fall Lake, Earthquake Lake etc.; over time these natural dams were eroded to nothing, leaving nothing but fading memories of those lakes. This earthquake is Canada's largest historic onshore earthquake.[1] Three years later, an earthquake, an M8.1, struck at 8:01 p.m. PDT on August 2, 1949 in Haida Gwaii [formerly Queen Charlotte Islands], an interplate earthquake that occurred on the ocean bottom just off the west coast of the main south island [Graham Island]. The shock had a surface wave magnitude of 8.1 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe).

Understanding the Aftermath of the Bute Inlet Landslide

On November 28, 2020, a massive landslide in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia caused a glacial lake outburst—an event that reshaped the landscape at the head of Bute Inlet. We spoke with representatives of the Homalco First Nation about the effect the landslide and its aftermath has had on their community and their culture.

Great Flood Story - Haisla Nation
The picture above shows the Gardner above Kemano, looking toward the Kitlope. On the right is the mountain that can be seen across the Gardner from Kemano village, Lhoxw (Thokw). This mountain is the one that is revered by the Henaksiala because at the time of the great flood, while the people were drifting helplessly in their canoes, it was Lhoxw mountain that actually rose up to catch and hold their dangling anchor rope. Here is that story:
Before the great flood the wolves were telling our people, who were living in X esdewakw that there was a great flood coming and now was the time to prepare for it. A lot of you will be asleep, be dead before it comes. But many of you will have to live through the danger and terror of it. So that was their warning.
In the beginning the people didn't have canoes. But the cedar tree helped them learn (We will learn the story of this event and the origin of the Beaver clan later). Soon everyone had two or three canoes. And the wolves had told the people that a flood was coming, that it was near. The people sent the men to the top of the mountains to pull bark off the cedar trees. Young ones, old ones, they took the denas, the bark from all of the trees. They got as much denes as they could get. The women came down to the end of the lake to make rope by twisting the bark. They call the thick rope of twisted denas x elpelak. And the men were told to look around the top of the mountains for an anchor. They needed to find a natural anchor stone to tie the cedar bark rope to. All the canoes were brought to the top of the lake and tied together there with that long, long rope. That's where the canoes were anchored at the top of the lake. Everything was prepared when it started to rain. The rain came down in buckets. The people up at the top of the lake had tied the end of the rope to the natural anchor rock in the mountains around Qanadatla. People came up the lake to get into those canoes.
It rained for many days. The canoes rose as the level of the water went up. Some canoes broke loose and the people drifted off. Other canoes capsized and the people drowned. The people drifted for a long time in their canoes. Some of the canoes broke loose and, still tied together, they drifted north toward Kemano. Their anchor rope caught on a mountain at Lhoxw. This mountain saved them because it rose up so that the canoe's anchor would catch on its rocky top, and then it rose and fell with the tide, holding the canoes steady. When the flood finally started to subside, the end of the long cedarbark rope ended up on a mountain called Xelbexw, located in the highlands across from the mouth of the Daniku River . It's probably still there.
After the Great Flood, the first thing that the people caught to eat was a dogfish. For that reason, the Henaksiala always considered dogfish to be a very special food. There is still a carving of a dogfish on a wooden grave marker in Kemano And that's the Henaksiala story of the Great flood. The Gitamaat had a Great Flood story, too, very similar to the Kitlope version. It had many of the features of this one, except that the anchor of the Gitamaat canoes caught on a mountain above Eagle Bay or Clio Bay (depending upon the version used by the storyteller).

Even though tankers carry thousands of tons of flammable fuel around the world, you don't hear of them exploding. Have you ever asked yourself why? If a car catches fire, it often results in a fireball. Why doesn't the same happen with ships? ----------------------WITH THANKS----------------------- ★ IMAGES Image of tanker: MaxWebb (Shutterstock) World map image: Ekler (Shutterstock) ★ Music & Sound Effects Music & Sounds Effects by Epidemic Sound (http://www.epidemicsound.com) -------------------------DISCLAIMER-------------------------- All content on this channel is provided for entertainment purposes only.

Old footage showing Methane jettisoning test on open sea from LNG Vessel Cargo tank rupture caused by increase of pressure - Emergency procedure for gas carriers Cargo tank ruptures due to increased pressure are highly improbable with the existing tank protection systems. There are multiple devices/systems protecting the cargo tanks - it is almost impossible for all devices to fail at the same time. Additionally, cargo tanks may support much higher pressure than the actual settings of the relief valves. However in this scenario we have two different situations - whether the affected tank is loaded or empty: . If the tank is empty the risk is less as no liquid cargo will be released. In that case, the hold space should be inerted at once. If the tank contains cargo and it is liquid cargo that is released: A minor leak may be controlled by via the hold space ejector LNG tanks internal barrier LNG tanks internal barrier A major leak may be impossible to control. In that case the two main options available are either abandonment or the jettisoning of the cargo In either case the first indication will be by the one or more of the detection systems - the gas detector, level switch or temperature sensor.

Concerned Professional Engineers Northern Gateway Tanker Awareness Campaign

Nov 26, 2013

https://youtu.be/TyqWgipfefI [4:27 minutes]


Help Concerned Professional Engineers (CPE) raise awareness about the tanker shipping risks of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. CPE is launching an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to get their message out. We've spent the last two years reviewing the documentation submitted by Enbridge in support of this project and have found their analysis to be lacking. We participated in the National Energy Board's Joint Review Panel and were present during the detailed discussions about the risks of shipping diluted bitumen and natural gas condensate through Douglas Channel. We would now like to make this information more widely available. Please check out our Indiegogo campaign (coming soon!) at igg.me/at/cpengineers if you'd like to help.

Richard Hammond reveals the ingenious engineering required to transport one of the most potentially hazardous cargoes in the world in some of the biggest vessels afloat. The supertanker is bigger than the Titanic and can carry enough fuel to heat a city the size of London for a week - the energy equivalent of 55 Hiroshima atom bombs. Shipping this potentially volatile cargo required engineering solutions inspired by cutlery, mid-air refuelling and fire engines. For more awe inspiring documentaries, subscribe to our channel:
