Tony Homo posted:Our gently caress up is fighting the fires. Fires are natural and if allowed to happen would mean less devastating fires. Instead we fight them and allow the underbrush to grow which adds fuel to the fires. We've been doing controlled burns for 20 years now. Firefighting in forests is pretty much all about containing and not stopping the fire now.

DiHK posted:Is that not what saved them? The rebar in the concrete grounding it? Maybe - it's hard to say. It might have tripped the line right away and the concrete exploding may have pushed them off of the scaffold. I think there may have been a recloser shot a few seconds after they scurry away. (Basically the circuit breaker feeding it trips, waits a few seconds, then tries closing again.)

I have this real irrational paranoia about MRI machines. Like that I somehow have something metal in my body that I don't know about and that I'm going to get to close to one of those machines and it's going to get ripped out of me. It's stupid, I know. That's why it's an irrational fear.

There's a multi-million dollar service call. All that liquid He has to be vented rapidly for an emergency shut off. Hope your ventilation for the outgassing is up to snuff since all the He will displace the oxygen if you're not vented well. The ring is most certainly deformed and will need to be replaced and re-balanced. And the shroud. And remember all that liquid He that had to be out-gassed to stop the magnet? Now you need a fresh batch of liquid He to replace it. FIRST TIME posted:I have this real irrational paranoia about MRI machines. Like that I somehow have something metal in my body that I don't know about and that I'm going to get to close to one of those machines and it's going to get ripped out of me. And then you remember all those stories about surgeons forgetting clamps or forceps and sewing them up in the body. "Time for your post-op MRI, Mr. FIRST TIME!"

I believe they can do a controlled shutdown without needing to quench the magnet. It's still an expensive fuckup since it'll have to be thoroughly inspected and damaged pieces replaced, but it should be running again in a few days.

flosofl posted:There's a multi-million dollar service call. Thanks for the nightmare fuel!  Seriously though, what are the screening procedures before you get an MRI? Like let's say that you were some foreign dude that fought in some kind of war in a 3rd world country and ended up with shrapnel inside you that you didn't know about or forgot about because you're traumatized and block all that poo poo out. Then you come to the US and need an MRI for something. I assume that at the very least they give you a questionnaire but do they also wand you to make sure that you don't have something inside you that's going to be a problem? I apologize if this is a dumb question but I've never had surgery or broken a bone or anything so I don't know very much how all that serious hospital stuff works. :edit: Are the instruments used in surgeries MRI safe? I assume that the primary concerns would be sterility and functionality but is the possibility of an accident like the one described by the poster I quoted considered at all?

I think it is pretty common to get an x-ray before an MRI? Maybe? Not a full body x-ray though. Dunno what happens if you're getting your head MRI'd and you've got shrapnel in your shin.

I've always had to answer a bunch of questions pre-MRI and each time i get one at a new place they want to x-ray my head cause I worked in a machine shop. I know all the metal fragments have worked their way out, but I've still had 2 x-rays to make sure there wasn't anything left in my eyes. The places I've gone have been paranoid as gently caress, They don't want any ugly poo poo going down.

Yeah, don't they just quickly scan you with a metal detector before you walk in? Anyway, I think I've heard things of people who had a metal rod in their body to help reconnect bones. It wasn't a ferromagnetic metal. All that does in an MRI is warm up a tiny bit.

I don't think you're going to get too hosed up by metal flying out of you because the frequency of the field is in the tens of MHz, so I imagine any small bits of metal in you would mostly buzz, and maybe not even that due to inertia. What will gently caress you up is induced emf because you're in a 2T magnetic field vibrating at tens of MHz. I'm wondering if those little bits of metal could actually get hot enough to burn you. From the inside. Burning from inside your eyeball... Captain Postal fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Aug 7, 2015 |

The 2T field is independent of the imaging pulses; the same force that yanked that desk across the room will also yank steel filings out of your face, or try to.

There was also one guy who got thrown from the aircraft by a explosion, but collided with another crewmen who had just opened his parachute and was able to grab onto the other guy's leg.
