Tequila Floods Louisville Sewer
Thanks, Paul...February 11, 2003 More than 1,000 gallons of tequila spilled into the sewer system Monday after a worker tried to unload it from a truck into an already full storage tank at a distillery. The tequila overflowed at a rate of 100 gallons per minute, resulting in 1,500 to 1,800 gallons entering the city sewer system, said Phil Lynch, a spokesman for the Brown-Forman Distillery. Fire and sewer officials were called because of the flammability of the 80-proof liquor. Water was used to dilute the spilled alcohol. ''It was a simple case of human error,'' Lynch said. I'll say it was. How could they leave out the lime? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-18 |
