Great demo! I recall many? Years ago that one child died when a fire started in an ashaltic lined CMP caught on fire. The pipe access was when it discharged to a concreted channel. Happened in Tucson, AZ. Kids were playing in the pipe.
I see you guys are ready for ISIS. Great Job showing us the danger that exists.
Must be a slow day at the pipe plant.
Mark,
Thank you for pointing out another danger to using inferior building materials.
