WOW! What a coincidence, I heard that a cow got loose from a local slaughter house and wandered on the airport grounds. It then got chopped up by a taxing prop plane. Then due to the hot MEM sun on the tarmac, there was prime rib everywhere! On the serious side. Here in EWR UAL was unloading 55 Gal drums of concentrated garlic. One of the drums ruptured and all over the canloader and the ground it spilled. For years after, the smell lingered at gate B65 or when the UAL canloader would go by you. -----Original Message----- From: Lanier [mailto:alanie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 7:19 PM To: hazmat101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Skyone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Sky-1] Remarkable Haz Mat Incident We had a remarkable "haz mat" incident at Memphis International Airport on Sunday. At 10:30Am as I was about to go out the door to church, the communications center called me. The airport fire unit had been called to respond to a "haz mat incident" at local hometown mega-huge express airline's international section in their hub. A number of employees had to evacuate the area having burning eyes, watery noses, and difficulty in breathing. This could be representative of a number of substances. After Rescue One, the haz mat unit responded, the "haz mat" substance was determined to be a leak with two five gallon containers of concentrated horseradish from an Asian country. No one was hurt and cleanup was expedited by use of SCBA's [Self Contained Breathing Apparatus]. When the communications unit called me the second time and told me what the substance was and asked what we should do, I replied, "Well, I guess you ought to get them to order 1500 pounds of prime rib, medium-well." A check of the shipping papers and container revealed no violations of laws and regulations - just a case of bad luck.
