Dude was most likely torn apart by the shockwave. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/12/china-explosion-earthquake-recording-instruments-beijing quote:Citing the verified Weibo account of the China Earthquake Networks Centre, AFP reported the magnitude of the first explosion was the equivalent of detonating three tons of TNT, while the second was the equivalent of detonating 21 tons of the explosive.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/12/usa-bumblebee-fine-idUSL1N10N29J20150812 A company has been assessed a very hefty fine. This has made the news. Not making the news: the company challenging the fine and the nature of the violation, and then actually, finally years later, being assessed a vastly reduced fine. The system works!

Also, guess what the gently caress dirt is. poo poo. It's condensed, unliquefied poo poo. Sure, it's be processed by countless animals and plants until all that remains is bleh, but it's poo poo. You are living in a world of poo poo. Deal w/it.

VendaGoat posted:About a second for the sound from the explosion to hit him. 1088 feet per second. Got your math mixed up. If it takes 1-1.5s for the soundwave to reach him, that's at most 1500 feet~500m, give or take (no need for exactness on the "he dead" scale-10-15m won't do dick). 1300lbs of bare explosive's "safe area" is ~1125 meters, 3690.94 feet. Either way, if they're estimating 21tons of tnt?  He dead and I'm thinking that the 15 person death toll is because most of the people nearby got vaporized.

 http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/08/devastating-warehouse-blasts-hit-china-tianjin-150813011448705.html 1000 Renaults were also destroyed in that explosion/fire. The death toll is going to shoot up once they can access the area. 32 firefighters "missing"  plus anyone else not far enough out to be found by emergency services easily.

JB50 posted:Wouldnt an air tight seal gently caress up the flushing on a toilet. The tank needs to take in air, not the bowl. It would just act like a sealed pipe like the rest of the system if the lid was air tight. Though I don't know if the water will compress the extra air in the bowl and possibly pop the lid, making everything worse. Someone, call the Mythbusters!

I always hated in GTA how the tail rotor of a helicopter would always fall off when they had any kind of accident. Apparently that's a real thing.
