Has anybody heard about the ORISKANY

Original quote by Florabama
The PCBs are in the insulation, but because they are encased in armor, it will take centuries for it to leach out.

I think it should be taken out anyway. Yeah, by then it surely won't be an issue, but I like better safe than sorry.

The problem with taking out the armor encased wiring was that it made it too expensive to reef her, and they would have essentially had to tear her apart to get them out. No need to worry though -- the EPA would not have cleared the sinking if the PCBs presented a problem.
