Here is video of this incident: https://youtu.be/wDIAlF6QCkg Thank you for the link reverse Google Image search and archived thread on http://forum.dvdtalk.com/, which is exactly what you'd expect that forum to be about. The shocking bit is how very active it still is.

At least the truckdriver decided to only flatten the three cars instead the bus(possibly full of people). Any more info on this incident? Faulty breaks?

Random gore/death-centric forum says brakes failed Most likely  or  content on the site:http://www.documentingreality.com/forum/f167/truck-crashes-into-cars-waiting-toll-booth-66786/ Aftermath:  4 people dead according to the poster. lovely call really, where do you send however many tons of rolling death when you have such a short distance...

No no, it's just one of those fancy new plastic safety nuts. Go ahead and unscrew it, it's only finger tight.

The last few seconds has the tow truck driver going: "What the gently caress happened? [why] The gently caress did he do that? We have to get down there!", so I take it it was the driver of the towed semi that done hosed up.

Klaus Kinski posted:I guess he tried to avoid both the porsche and car going in the other direction. The speed and why he didn't brake is a bit weird. Those buses have automatic gearboxes so my guess is that he was trying to pull out from the bus stop he's at after the other bus passed him, but put his foot on the accelerator instead of the brake. So the guy *thinks* he's easing it out on the brake but when it doesn't respond like he's expecting he tries to stop which actually ends up with him flooring it - the accelerator pedals have almost no resistance compared to the brake. I was a bus driver in London for a few years and we had so much stuff about 'foot placement error' drilled into us in training, and regular leaflets and shoe checkups afterwards. Alternatively he just did it on purpose because it's a soul destroying job.

Honestly, the buses I took to get into and out of London had some of the best and definitely the most polite drivers I've ever seen. So good on you. During one moment on a highway a crazy driver cut off the bus and came to a complete stop forcing the bus driver to slam on his brakes. The bus driver politely told him to gently caress off and pulled over to walk the bus to make sure everyone was ok. He apologized profusely. It was all pretty surreal to me after riding so many buses in Chicago and drivers not giving a poo poo about anything ever.

Modest Mao posted:so like 6,500 degrees F. hmm Nah that nut and bolt are a cherry red, a little lower than a forging heat:   You could grip it with a pair of pliars and, assuming you were not instantly electrocuted, you could apply enough force to squash it a little, using both hands. It should be a bit hotter before you do much work on it with hammer and anvil, though. It's hard to tell with a photograph and monitor because of colors etc. but I'd guess it's around 1100 to 1200 degrees F. e. Note that copper melts at 1984 degrees F.

I assume it was visibly glowing at least a little or they wouldn’t have snapped a photo, but beyond that it’s hard to say.

The sensors themselves are very sensitive to infrared, but because of that there's a hi-pass filter in front of the sensor that blocks most of it, to such a degree that if you want to do infrared photography with a digital camera you either need to mod it to remove that filter or use a tripod because your exposure times are going to be very long.

Functionality on those is a bit hit-and-miss, though, for near IR. You can still pick up a TV remote and stovetop burner really well.

Yeah. I think it's completely safe to say that the nut and part of the bolt are well north of 1000 F, though, which is, you know... remarkable. I suppose it couldn't have been arcing to the metal door or something, which has just been interrupted by opening it? Also if the heat source was removed and then a camera fumbled with etc. it has probably dropped several hundred degrees during the interim, so it was a lot hotter. I'm not sure I buy the torch idea: it'd be pretty hard to play a torch on the nut without also playing it on the washer. I think it's more that the copper bus bar acts as an extremely large and efficient thermal mass/heat sink, which in turn is keeping the washer a lot cooler, but the nut and the end of the bolt are enough removed from the heat sink that they're able to get a lot hotter/stay hot longer or whatever.

Good catch, good catch. Someone had a picture from the old thread of a splice box for a big motor, I think 4/0 or 500kcmil cable at 4160 or 7200V. Anyways the bolts were not even finger tight and badly burned. You could easily see the bolts had a dozen or so turns until they were even compressing the washer, there was that much of a gap.
