    Hey J-Mass, always been intrigued with the way you explain things, that's kinda why I find you very unique from other people, (no hate to other hardworking creators ofc, only an observation). Are you by any chance a sales person or a person who presents things a lot, only because you talk so well, and repeat main points very well during the times in the videos where you describe face-to-face. I find it very admirable. I want to know how you talk like that, professional, a bit repetitve at times, but very professional.

      Thank you so much, I truly appreciate the kind words and the observation! You are actually right on the money-I do work in sales! Specifically, in the realm of logistics. I also went to university for English, and did a lot of public speaking. I definitely have flaws-I often repeat things, and sometimes I stutter or say the wrong thing-but overall I try to be as clear and understandable in my presentation as possible!

Most kids in town were always told to stay away from there even when it was new because it in a pretty deserted place even now it was in till the last two years that I ever heard it linked with anniversary Field Road as I always cut between Scott’s tower And anniversary field it has been re-done at least three times in my lifetime but it isn’t really a safe place never was. Wayback in the late 70s the state police arrested a man who had murdered several women down in the Boston area and they arrested him on the grounds of Scott tower he had been hiding in a basement of a very large and elegant house let across the highway. It’s far is the piss that’s the thing I remember about it the first time I saw it at seven and it’s never changed. The views from the top our brain but honestly I don’t know anyone that does it there. Thanks for reporting on it

      @j-mass Circumstances: While in cruising altitude on a flight from Chatham to Newark, the captain informed ATC about the failure of the left engine and was cleared to divert to the nearest airport located in East Greenwich, east Rhode Island. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, the crew attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field. A passenger was killed while five other occupants were injured. Probable cause: Inadequate preflight preparation and/or planning on part of the pilot-in-command. The following factors were reported: - Improper operation of powerplant and powerplant controls, - Improper operation or failed to use the anti-icing/deicing equipment, - Conditions conducive to carburetor system icing, - Icing conditions including sleet and freezing rain, - Low ceiling and snow, - Partial loss of power on one engine, - Complete engine failure on one engine, - Left engine lost power, propeller feathered. Unable to maintain safe altitude.

    Worked there from startup to shutdown was one of the last out the door. Just before Christmas of 96' i had to call each employee and inform them they were done. Indeck chose coal because gas was unavailable and the plant was within the 100 year flood plane in the event of a flood to keep coal out of the river. The coal silo is super solid. and would cost a fortune to remove it held 30 days of coal when full. It was 23 MW Westinghouse steam turbine with a 100lb controlled extraction for steam to the mill . It had a 1000lb Zurn spreader stoker boiler with a sweet water condenser to control superheater steam temperature. In the control room was Westinghouse wdpf computer dcs which used automatic controls to run the plant . It burned 3ton of coal an hr at full load.Coal was trucked up from the rail yard in W.Springfield.There was a spray dry absorber and bag house to treat the sulfur and catch the flyash. 3 guys per shift to run it. I heard the plant equipment was sold down to El Salvador and is burning crushed coconut shells and shredded tires. - boilersinfo.com › stoker-fired-boiler-types-of-stokers - www.environmental-expert.com/products/wdpf-distributed-control-systems-85215 - indeckenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/turners_falls-300x212.jpg * A sweet water condenser condenses saturated steam out of the boiler, while heating boiler feedwater, to create condensate, which is then metered into the superheated steam outlet of the boiler through a control valve. - Spray drying - www.powderprocess.net/Spray_Drying/Introduction_Spray_Drying.html

      @@jerrys9226 There was a coal unloading system that had a truck drop with belt and bucket conveyors. They lifted the coal to the top of the silo . It was preferred to take the coal off the truck drop and unload to smaller "daybin" that was directly in front of the boiler to reduce fuel handling. It ran on semibituminous coal which is relatively soft. Too much handling made the coal break up into "fines'' this made the boiler hard to control. . A higher percentage of the fuel burned in suspension than the boiler's design causing the fires to surge.We tried not to let the silo run lower than 3/4 full as the long drop broke up the coal. Wet coal with lots of "fines''"aka dust made things difficult all around with "freeze ups" and coal muck.Coal dust in general is a health hazard and an explosion risk. Screw conveyors took the coal from the bottom of the silo and fed it to the daybin via the bucket conveyors. Diverter plates in the bucket conveyor system were used to configure the desired unloading location. - boilersinfo.com › stoker-fired-boiler-types-of-stokers - indeckenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/turners_falls-300x212.jpg

      @@lmc6516 wow! Thank you for that detailed information. I’m sure J-Mass will be interested in reading this. It’s a shame that after all the effort to construct that power plant it only lasted 7 years. Again, thank you and Merry Christmas!

    A very cool video as always!! I think Turners fall is a very interesting location to explore. I never knew about this site, and I'm glad you were able to explore and capture it before it gets repurposed. That coal silo is amazing, I'm glad they are going to leave that standing in the future. And I know the cold you're talking about - it's been bone chilling around here the last few days. Have a happy, safe and Merry Christmas J-Mass,as well as all of your fans and supporters!! Cheers!

      Thank you so much, I truly appreciated your support throughout 2024! Turners Falls is such a cool little historic village-there is so much to see here! I’m excited to cover it more in-depth whenever I get around to my Montague town review! And same here, I’m excited to see what artwork that coal silo will display!

    Worked there when the plant was preparing to start up. I setup and tested the steam turbine that powered the feed water pump for the boiler. Drove by there years later and saw that it was gone.Good to hear the reason it was abandoned
