[@ianjenkins1905]

@@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim Protesting in the UK is not illegal, however the Government or businesses providing services/products deemed critical to National infrastructure (such as Military bases, fuel terminals, airports etc) can put in an application for a High Court Injunction. If an injunction is issued, this means that any person(s) associated with the named parties in the injunction can be arrested and held in contempt of court if they do protest.

Obviously the guys that came to see you were a lot more professional than many other security guys you have interacted with recently. They represented BP excellently. Good for them and the company they represent. This is obviously a very sensitive site to have to protect. Unlike some of the others, where security treated you appallingly. 👍

3YE is a hazchem code invented by the London Fire Brigade. The number refers to the material to extinguish a fire 1= water 2=fog 3=foam 4= dry chemicals The first letter refers to the PPE to be worn by firefighters The E tells the firefighters to consider evacuation

[@just_incredible]

I vaguely remember at school that 'E' means evacuate if it spills.

FUN FACT:- there is no physical separation between products in a pipeline. Petroleum spirit could be pushed by diesel/gas oil which in turn could be pushed by kerosene (paraffin). When it reaches a storage depot the interface (mingled product) is cut out by monitoring the density then by opening and closing of valves it's diverted into a slops tank. After testing to determine which grade it's closest too it's then injected back into the main storage

Unless the law has changed? Razor wire is illegal to use in the UK? I worked for many years in a high security prison. We had razor wire on the perimeter, this was illegal but the prison would pay a fine (every year I think?) To continue the use of razor wire. I would assume this is the case with oil/gas/industrial sites?

[@laceandwhisky]

If it's your boundary, your fence and you are the legal owner of both, provided the Razor wire doesn't protrude into their property you are within your rights to erect it, however your duty of care extends to your neighbours as well and the same issues apply in terms of mitigating your liability

I remember the incident in 2005 as I worked in Hemel then and it was extremely lucky nobody died. Many office windows got blown out so some damage. I heard a story where someone was in bed and rolled over and then woke up seeing shattered glass on their bed where they were just lying. Many people woke up in the night from far away hearing the blast however I must have been having such a good sleep as didn't hear a thing.

I'm guessing this is where the massive Buncefield fire was in 2005? Caused by a Compex failure. Technically your drone isn't Compex rated, if it were to fall out the sky and the battery rupture it could be a problem 👀

[@harryurz]

I was under the impression it was a fuel tank overfill, caused by a high level switch failure?

[@Chris-pc1qh]

It was but there was still a point of ignition in the area for the vapours to ignite ​@@harryurz

[@johnnyfearlesszrx]

I'm not sure the car coming out was Complex rated either. I've seen a lot of DJ's videos and never seen any unsafe flying. He doesn't go to the limit of what's lawful, he often stops well short of the legal line, as he genuinely does proper checks of the flying area before taking off. Much like a sensible driver not doing the speed limit on roads if it wouldn't be safe to.

Where the 3 pipeline marker boards are where you left your key ring....behind them there is a white pole with orange top. This indicates where the pipeline is running.

WENSAT the main pipeline grid was laid down during the cold war primarily to supply east coast USAF airbases from west coast ports.
