EDS will have to take down the Norsk Hydro plant using high reach excavators.
“Regrets? I have a few….” The biggest of which was my decision to not pay attention in my French lessons. Not only does this mean that I can order only beer and steak when I am in Paris (problematic if, like me, you’re a largely teetotal vegetarian) but it also means that I am missing some of the nuances of this article on the failed implosion of the Norsk Hydro plant in Becancour, Canada.
However, using a mixture of schoolboy French and an online translation system, it appears that the failed implosion has resulted in a call for high reach excavators to complete what the original “2,000 pounds of explosives” failed to accomplish.
French-speaking readers can see the full story here (and perhaps they’d also be kind enough to send me the French phrase for “please, I require neither meat nor wine. A fish, lightly grilled, and a Diet Coke will suffice, my good man.”)
