Norwegians will not be amused by this nonsense. What were the names of the people at SVF who suggested this; they should be moved to less demanding duties.
This is an area where you just drink directly from the stream. No filtering needed! The water coming out of the glacier was incredible to drink!
It may already be too late! If those fluids have leaked down through to the bottom of the glacier, I cannot see how they will get it back out.
@RobinHood makes no sense at all because this mess needs to be cleaned up YESTERDAY and it costs money to do it! Yes people are dead but that does not negate the fact that one of the most pristine places on the planet and one of the most studied glaciers in the world are in danger from the fallout of this crash.
After all this time, I am shocked that the cleanup has not been completed!
What @skogsbo fails to understand and therefore under-estimates is that there are NO ROADS that even come close to the site! There is a research station there that was built by Swedish Military helicopters flying in everything needed to build the station. There are already helicopter landing pads at the research station but the ENTIRE cleanup has to be carried out by helicopter - and the last time I checked helicopters are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to operate!
Yes the aircraft owners and the insurance companies absolutely need to get involved!
I can't believe it does not get cleaned up and the bill is sent to the owners. Then again it would be nice if the Norwegian military sent some heavy lift helicopters to help with the cleanup.
