Might have something to do with the fact that they should have been replaced 15 years ago....Just a thought.

$1:

Ashton said investigators have determined that there was no methanol in the mixture. With the air temperature between -11 C and -18 C in both instances, ice quickly formed on the compressors.

Not much bafflement there.

Sounds like some idiot took it upon himself to eliminate the methanol because he thought it was a fire hazard........

Our people are too good and professional to do something like that but I'm not upset that another boat-anchor went down without casualties.
