Pappy's young'uns sent me to a site called babblefish that translates web sites. I ran Steve's article through it. Some of it came out kinda wierd but it gives the general idea. What a mess down yonder!
Hang in there Steve-O!
Border, Coahuila. Educative houses, centers, commerce, companies and offices near the company suffered damages by the explosion in Takata, mainly in doors, windows and in the structure of the constructions.
The five explosions that at night registered Thursday in the company of autopartes Takata, destroyed the 50 percent of the facilities of the factory, which will take in rehabilitating itself of three to four months.
Baltazar Rico Almanza, delegate of the Office of the judge advocate general of Justice in the Region Center, said that it will be almost impossible to establish the causes that generated the incident, because it has been difficult to find indications of the explosions by the dimensions that reached.
After a preliminary evaluation with directors of the company, the City council of Border informed that at least 550 houses were affected in 12 colonies, located in the proximities of the industrial ship where air bags are elaborated for vehicles.
Rico Almanza said that an estimation of damages produced in the company still does not exist, although calculated that they are millionaire by the dimensions of the destruction.
Francisco Gil Elordwy, legal adviser of the company, informed that Takata is committed to pay the damages that have been generated in the houses.
The Office of the judge advocate general of Justice had 4 agents of the Public Ministry so that they gave faith of the external damages and raised a listing of the addresses in order to make him get at the company this testified information.
In fact a commission of the City council and company came to make the first smaller repairs as they are replacement of glasses, doors and windows. The structural damages will have to be valued by experts.
The agent of the Public Ministry, Jose Alfredo Gaytán Rodriguez, initiated investigation 40/06 to undertake an investigation of the facts and went to the site to give accompanied ministerial faith of experts of the same Office of the judge advocate general, Civil defense, Secretariat of the National defense and Secretariat of Health, that raised to the first expert tests for their study and valuation.
This Friday guard went to declare before Ministry Public of security, Julio Javier Aguilar Lopez, who was first that noticed the presence of smoke in the containers where, according to Leopoldo Galván Olvera, regional coordinator of Civil defense, the company stored around 48 thousand kilograms of explosive substances, known like Propela that is used for the activation of the air bags which they make there.
Robert Enríquez Fang, manager of Human Resources of the Japanese company of capital, did not want to reveal the cause of origin of the explosion, although yes he presented that the 2.600 workers who let toil will receive their wage during the time that lasts the rehabilitation of the factory.
The bishop Raul Side celebrated a mass in the outside of the company to be thankful that there were no personal misfortunes.
In agreement with the authorities, during the night of the incident they were evacuated around 3.500 people by hours.
In the DIF almost 7 thousand portions of foods for people have been elaborated whose houses were disabled to prepare meals.
During a meeting conducted last night in the fronterense Municipal Presidency, the company was also committed to run with these expenses.

Ok... first you gotta know how CHEAP my spoose is..... Jack Benny cheap... penny pinching, tight fisted etc.... Just ultra cheap.
So we had this birthday party to go to for this man, and we just wanted to do a little token gift and I stink at buying man gifts so I sent to spoose down to the curb market to buy the guy some lottery tickets. The spoose bought the guy $20.00 worth of tickets..... He picked up $10.00 for our family just for fun.
He studied the tickets and decided which to give away and which to keep... You know what's coming right???
At the party, the man scratched his first ticket and won $25.00. Spoose was having a fit.... The man scratched another one and another one and ended up winning a total of $29.00. Spoose's language got more "flowery" after every win.....
We let the kids scratch our tickets and won $3.00.
So the Birthday boy takes his winning tickets back to the curb market and trades them in for more tickets..... added $1 to the total to make it an even thirty and won $25.00 and a free $5.00 ticket off of those....
I can see how someone might get hooked.......

Hi Guys
Had a few minutes to breathe. We've got trucks & product going all over the place down here, trying to get it all out of the building, so they can start rebuilding efforts. Flying alot of replacement product in from our operations in Germany & Japan trying to fill the gaps. Unfortunately it's like watching traffic on I-40 going by at 60 mph, and trying to stick cars in the gaps.........you know you're going to miss some, you know you're going to screw up, but the traffic has to keep flowing.
There's probably over 1000 people thrown at this just in Mexico trying to recover, plus cranking all our suppliers up to recover. It's like Lake Brandt drained overnight, the flow inbound & outbound is fixed, so how do you get enough water back to fill it up? (Well, hire every fire department in NC & all surrounding states to start bringing in water??)
Enough comparisons, those were the ones that came to mind.
I will be down here for several weeks, really until we get things stabilized again. In the meantime............blog onward !!!!!!!!!
