Image of August 28, 2010: What a difference a second makes.... (as automatically seen by an HPWREN motion-detect camera) Retardant operations had a minor glitch from Ramona AAB during product transfer from Airslide trailer. Lots of clean-up required by airbase staff. The powder is moved using low air pressure from truck transfer, about 6-10 PSI as the air escapes out when powder moves inside. NOTE: No one was hurt after the airsock broke on back of retardant trailer, causing P-100 powder burst into air surrounding operations, loading pits and way out & over T-70 in pit #1 about 100' away. The airsock lets the air out as powder goes into trailer. Image caption by Ron Serabia

for the Advancement of Science, using special glasses to view the
images from two projectors via polarizing filters. The Cabrillo
National Monument setup included two cameras. Two separate simultaneous
skype streams provided the video data transport.
