    You mention Navy... Could be something to the story I heard.. Main member is infected and swollen and plugged. There is a device, slender s/steel, hollow, that has 3 concealed blades. This dastardly device is inserted into the infected main members inner plumbing and a "Push Button" on its outer end is pushed. Wa.. Lah, Bingo/Bdam. The three blades extend and the device if withdrawn.. (inner's opening is now as wide open as a lot gate.) Free Flow defined...
    The recounter referred to this procedure as "Sounding". Must have been a Navy term.

    I don’t know what he was hauling, but if it was hogs, the ones in the belly probably won’t get processed!

    My guess is he was parked and empty. I saw another photo of the Hwy (23) not very far from this rig and the through traffic was stopped right before the flooding.
