Hi Eric, do you have anything that ties Peterson to the New England area? Also is the salt that they use at airports different than regular road salt?

To answer my question own question the airports use urea. It's a solid ice metler mixed with heated sand. True salt is prohibited at airports.

Eric, good video and ideas.  May I suggest some more possibilities in addition to the road salt and sand that those of us who have lived in such places as Ohio have encountered.

If Tom Kaye can pin down the type of salt that is used on roads and in such things as household water softeners, then that would be a great help.  In the 1970 era, sand was used in cleaning spark plugs and sand blasting operations, plus probably other things that I have never heard of.

In my opinion, Cooper's knowledge of both the 727 and parachuting was rather limited.  Most of his information could be obtained from reading aviation literature.  Perhaps he was an aviation mechanic, an aviation buff, or something else along that line.

MYDEC, what is a "solid ice metler"?

To my knowledge Sheridan has no connection to New England. Additionally, if the Boeing/Seattle familiarity was a red herring then Sheridan would appear to be eliminated as Cooper.

Some men see things as they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

The other thing to consider is that calcium was an additive to the road salt/sand blend which also was found on the tie.

urea is a solid ice metler. I am also reading that they at a certain point stopped using urea because it was bad for the environment and they replaced it with chloride and acetate deicers.

Urea? Isn't that the protein base of urine?

Thanks, DC, but why the heck is it spread on icy roads, especially in Connecticut???

Ah.. I read further. It's used as an alternative to calcium chloride.

But it's also a browning agent for pretzels!
Who knew?

More about the bombing in Nashville..you can hear the warning given..

..


So, evidently the human remains found near the RV was the bomber and it is now considered a suicide bombing. Why not just put a damn bullet in your head and be done with it? A year from now no one will remember your sorry ass anyway.
