See below for explanation of Wick Effect.
By covering the beached whales with cloth and setting ablaze with lighter fluid the clothing serves as a wick like on a candle and the animals fat will burn the body down slowly to virtually nothing. A human’s body will burn to hands and feet as will a hog’s down to the paws.
An enclose is likely needed by the shore to prevent winds from blowing out the fires. The carcass may need to be dragged from the water. Whales are extremely fatty and will burn beautifully, though it may take a while to completely burn it’s likely faster than smelly decomposition.
This needs to be passed on to those in Washington State. This is cheap, easy and reliable. It may also be a safer, greener and less costly way to do human cremations.
A mass stranding of pilot whales on the shore of Cape Cod, 1902
Cetacean stranding, commonly known as beaching, is a phenomenon in which whales and dolphins strand themselves on land, usually on a beach. Beached whales often die due to dehydration, collapsing under their own weight, or drowning when high tide covers the blowhole.[1] Several explanations for why cetaceans strand themselves have been proposed, but none have so far been universally accepted as a definitive reason for the behavior. A link between mass beaching of beaked whales and the use of mid-frequency active sonar however have been found.
Wick effect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to search
The wick effect is the name given to the partial destruction of a human body by fire, when the clothing of the victim soaks up melted human fat and acts like the wick of a candle. The wick effect is a phenomenon that is found to occur under certain conditions, and has been thoroughly observed. It is one commonly offered explanation for the alleged phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion (SHC).
Contents
The wick effect theory says a person is kept aflame through his/her own fats after being ignited, accidentally or otherwise. The clothed human body acts like an “inside-out” candle, with the fuel source (human fat) inside and the wick (the clothing of the victim) outside. Hence there is a continuous supply of fuel in the form of melting fat seeping into the victim’s clothing. Fat contains a large amount of energy due to the presence of long hydrocarbon chains.[1]
Mary Reeser (1884–1951) of St. Petersburg, Florida was most likely a victim of spontaneous human combustion. It was suspected that she’d accidentally ignited herself with a cigarette. The fat which over time had been absorbed by her clothing likely acted as fuel for the fire. At the scene, investigators found melted fat in the rug near Mary’s body.
An investigation of a 1963 case in Leeds included an experiment with a wick effect. A small portion of human fat was wrapped in cloth to simulate clothing. A Bunsen burner flame was then applied to the ‘candle’. Due to the high water content of human fat the flame had to be held on the ‘candle’ for over a minute before it would catch fire:
This gives some indication of the slow speed with which the wick effect will proceed.
In February 1991, in woodland near Medford, Oregon, USA, two hikers came across the burning body of a female adult, lying face down in fallen leaves. They alerted the officials and a local deputy sheriff soon arrived. The victim was described as “well nourished”[dubious – discuss]. She had been stabbed several times in the upper regions of the chest and back. Both arms were spread outwards from the torso. The lower legs and surface of the neck showed signs of fire damage. The soft tissues of the right arm, torso and upper legs were consumed. The majority of bones of these parts retained their integrity, although friability was increased. Between mid-chest and knees the fleshy parts of the body were mostly destroyed. Crime scene personnel reported that the pelvis and spine were “not recoverable”, having been reduced to a grey powder. Her killer had soaked the clothes and corpse in nearly a pint of barbecue starter fluid and set her on fire. In the well-oxygenated outdoor environment, this combination of circumstances—an immobile and clothed body with a high fat-to-muscle ratio, accelerant (lighter fluid), and artificial ignition—made it prime for the wick effect to occur. The murderer was arrested and made a full confession. He claimed to have set the body alight some thirteen hours before it was discovered.[3]
A larger scale experiment conducted for the BBC television programme Q.E.D. involved a dead pig’s body being wrapped in a blanket and placed in a furnished room. The blanket was lit with the aid of a small amount of petrol. The body took some time to ignite and burned at a very high temperature with low flames. The heat collected at the top of the room and melted a television. However, the flames caused very little damage to the surroundings, and the body burned for a number of hours before it was extinguished and examined. On examination it was observed that the flesh and bones in the burnt portion had been destroyed.[4]
In October 2006, the body of a man was discovered at home in Geneva, almost completely incinerated between the mid-chest and the knees, most probably due to heart attack while smoking, followed by the wick effect. The chair containing the body was mostly consumed, but other objects in the room were almost undamaged, albeit covered with a brown oily or greasy coating. The source of the fire was most likely a cigarette or cigar. The man’s dog also died in another room of the man’s apartment; this was attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning.[5]
Further information: Death of Michael Faherty
In December 2010, the cremated body of a man was found in his home in Clareview Park at Ballybane in the Irish city of Galway (Parris-Long, 2011). The fire investigators concluded that no accelerants were used and that the open fireplace was not the cause of the fire. The coroner in the case could not identify the cause of the death due to extensive internal organ damage and concluded that “this [case] fits into the category of spontaneous human combustion, for which there is no adequate explanation”.[6]
