16:46 >> So um so they knew that they were going

16:46 >> So um so they knew that they were going to have to uh amend the sand with some

16:49 to have to uh amend the sand with some

16:50 to have to uh amend the sand with some Yeah. Well, they could do concrete. That

16:52 Yeah. Well, they could do concrete. That

16:52 Yeah. Well, they could do concrete. That would be the Rolls-Royce idea. And but

16:56 would be the Rolls-Royce idea. And but

16:56 would be the Rolls-Royce idea. And but um concrete's very expensive, not just

16:58 um concrete's very expensive, not just

16:58 um concrete's very expensive, not just from a material standpoint, but also uh

17:01 from a material standpoint, but also uh

17:01 from a material standpoint, but also uh labor labor standoint.

17:03 labor labor standoint.

17:03 labor labor standoint. >> So um they got a tip from their experts

17:06 >> So um they got a tip from their experts

17:06 >> So um they got a tip from their experts that they were consulting with that

17:08 that they were consulting with that

17:08 that they were consulting with that there's a a new material called

17:10 there's a a new material called

17:10 there's a a new material called bentonite.

17:11 bentonite.

17:11 bentonite. >> Bentonite.

17:12 >> Bentonite.

17:12 >> Bentonite. >> Bentonite that can be used. And

17:14 >> Bentonite that can be used. And

17:14 >> Bentonite that can be used. And bentonite is a spongy clay.

17:17 bentonite is a spongy clay.

17:17 bentonite is a spongy clay. >> Okay. Okay. So that's where that part of

17:18 >> Okay. Okay. So that's where that part of

17:18 >> Okay. Okay. So that's where that part of the story comes. knew that they had to,

17:20 the story comes. knew that they had to,

17:20 the story comes. knew that they had to, you know, put a clay down and so but

17:23 you know, put a clay down and so but

17:23 you know, put a clay down and so but bentonite also expensive but less with

17:25 bentonite also expensive but less with

17:26 bentonite also expensive but less with labor, hardly any labor at all.

17:28 labor, hardly any labor at all.

17:28 labor, hardly any labor at all. >> So they wanted to see how much um what

17:31 >> So they wanted to see how much um what

17:31 >> So they wanted to see how much um what the what the ratio between sand and

17:34 the what the ratio between sand and

17:34 the what the ratio between sand and bentonite would be because it was

17:37 bentonite would be because it was

17:37 bentonite would be because it was expensive. They didn't want to just make

17:38 expensive. They didn't want to just make

17:38 expensive. They didn't want to just make it 100% bent.

17:40 it 100% bent.

17:40 it 100% bent. >> So is it 25% bentonite or 40% bentonite?

17:43 >> So is it 25% bentonite or 40% bentonite?

17:43 >> So is it 25% bentonite or 40% bentonite? So they first did a 25% or whatever a

17:47 So they first did a 25% or whatever a

17:47 So they first did a 25% or whatever a lower number. and they filled that up

17:50 lower number. and they filled that up

17:50 lower number. and they filled that up and it drained. And so somebody

17:52 and it drained. And so somebody

17:52 and it drained. And so somebody panicked. I'm not going to mention any

17:54 panicked. I'm not going to mention any

17:54 panicked. I'm not going to mention any names, but I have seen the memos where

29:30 definitely still something weird about the head and the face that I feel like

29:32 the head and the face that I feel like

29:32 the head and the face that I feel like they could fix for sure. And it would

29:33 they could fix for sure. And it would

29:33 they could fix for sure. And it would also be easy for me to sit here and tell

29:35 also be easy for me to sit here and tell

29:35 also be easy for me to sit here and tell you like, "Oh, they could have tightened

29:36 you like, "Oh, they could have tightened
