    This seems to be plausible only without significant wind in the middle of the ocean. If huge wind barriers can be set up without being blown over, then maybe this can be as ‘very realistic’ as this is claimed to be.

    It’ll be cool to see in practice though.

      Yeah I agree that it doesn’t sound very realistic.

      One of the problems with spills is getting equipment on site.

      I saw this really interesting documentary on a Sharknado, I think there’s something there we should pursue.

      That’s actually the proposed solution to counteract the immenant out-of-control fire tornado situation.

    Taking that headline at face value, fire is apparently good for getting rid of radioacive waste, sewerage, agricultural chemical runoff …
