MONEY BAG BOUYANCY
One reason that some people discount the Columbia River as a natural explanation for the money on Tena Bar is that “money doesn’t float”. We know that after a few minutes in water, the money packets fan out and sink.
Another reason is that if the money packets did, in fact, float then how did the three packets arrive together on Tena Bar?
I asked a friend of mine who has been a scientist for 25 years. He has no interest in the Cooper case and is fully unbiased. I provided him the metrics of the money bag (length, width, height, weight) and asked him to calculate if a tightly secured money bag would float in fresh water like the Columbia River.
The short answer is, yes. The money bag would float.
I have attached his calculations for everyone to review.
Since we now know that the money bag, if it remained secured and intact from the fall, can float, then it provides credence to the idea that both myself and Larry Carr have gone on record with.
This theory is that the money bag would be transported downstream, open up on Tena Bar depositing some of the money before the rest of it is carried on down river.
The important part of this is that the money bag doesn’t require a snag or a piece of debris to move downstream. It could float on its own.
I believe this is a crucial finding that provides more support for a natural explanation for the money arriving on Tena Bar.
As always, I appreciate any feedback and fact-checking.
