For someone who once had the responsibility that you did, you really are intolerably thick sometimes. You can’t extinguish a coal fire in a cargo hold by chucking water on it, dimwit. In any event, I’m here for other stuff, too, but management of the shit show is one of the reasons.

Bombay is as mad as a box of frogs and I love the place. I love the country in general but it’s nice to be back inBengal, not been here for over five years.
Sorry, my bad.

I can see it would take at least two buckets of water.

Not sure how I can demonstrate that in a photo. You’re just gonna have to take my word for it that self-heating coal, when on fire, cannot be extinguished in a ship’s hold by chucking water at it. By the time the holds are drained, and good luck with that one (been there, done that, got the t-shirt), the coal will have reignited.
