There's a YouTube video that has a subtitled compilation of the last moments from various airplane accidents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9WgC4OijPA quote:"We're going down Larry!" It's pretty chilling stuff.

I was at first looking for a parachute. Although, idk if ejecting is even an option with that plane in particular.

It's not like they just attach electrodes on there while they're live. And although this is using electricity to do so , burning wood is a perfectly valid decoration technique in woodworking.

Cutting open a cylinder of flammable gas [with a cutting torch]? Seems like a good plan. Shockingly, no one gets hurt.

I might have mentioned this before... gas cylinders aren't hollow, and have a foam-type filling that prevents gas from escaping catastrophically. Even if the shell of the canister is breached, the gas will leak slow enough to prevent or prolong an explosion. It's possible for the canister to become hot enough to fail all at once, but that's with steady exposure to flames, and usually next to other burning canisters. Heating a canister until it bursts is more dangerous than cutting it with a torch.

I don't think I ever saw anyone post about the West Fertilizer Company explosion that happened in 2013. Basically they were storing 540,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and 110,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia, and a fire started (cause unknown) and blew the whole facility up with the force of ~10 tons of TNT. The explosion measured a 2.1 on the Richter scale, and 15 people died with over 150 other injuries, plus lots and lots of property damage. Highlights: -The last time OSHA inspected the facility was 1985, and they fined a whooping $30 for improper storage of the anhydrous ammonia -The EPA and the Texas equivalent had cited the facility for issues involving storing the anhydrous ammonia -OSHA didn't inspect the facility because the EPA didn't consider it a high risk My favorite though: quote:According to its last filing with the EPA in late 2012, the company stated that it stored 540,000 pounds (270 short tons; 240 t) of ammonium nitrate and 110,000 pounds (55 short tons; 50 t) of anhydrous ammonia on the site. A week after the explosion, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Senate investigators that the company did not appear to have disclosed its ammonium nitrate stock to her department. Federal law requires that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) be notified whenever anyone has more than one ton of ammonium nitrate on hand, or 400 pounds (180 kg) if the ammonium nitrate is combined with combustible material. So they fully disclosed the amount to the EPA, but not to DHS, and the EPA didn't tell DHS either. Maybe my highschool history teacher was right and everything involving the DHS is just a huge clusterfuck of bureaucracy. Also, quote:Texas law allows fertilizer storage facilities to operate without any liability insurance at all, even when they store hazardous materials. Naturally, the CSB is on it: "CSB posted:On April 22, 2014, the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board released preliminary results of its investigation into the explosion. It found that company officials failed to safely store the chemicals in its stockpile, and that federal, state and local regulations about the handling of hazardous materials were inadequate. In a statement released alongside the report, the board's chair, Dr. Rafael Moure-Eraso, stated: "The fire and explosion at West Fertilizer was preventable. It should never have occurred. It resulted from the failure of a company to take the necessary steps to avert a preventable fire and explosion and from the inability of federal, state and local regulatory agencies to identify a serious hazard and correct it." The CSB's yearlong investigation found that 1,351 facilities across the country store ammonium nitrate, and that there many areas had no regulations to keep such facilities away from populated areas. Moure-Eraso urged new and revised regulations, stating "there is no substitute for an efficient regulatory system that ensures that all companies are operating to the same high standards. We cannot depend on voluntary compliance." Here's a CSB video (no CGI reenactment, sorry): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_NhcbapisE

Wasn't some politician's response to the complaints that the public was left in the dark about the dangerous chemicals being stored there, that people can easily see where dangerous chemicals are being stored, just drive around and see. Then some people went around to different facilities where chemicals were stored and asked what was being stored there and they got told to gently caress off?

I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of pressure cooker lids in places they shouldn't be but that is the first I've seen that rocket engined the pot through the stove top.

Why has nobody pulled the breaker for that range? The ceramic cooktop ones are pretty flimsy, once the glass fractures, all structure is gone, there is nothing underneath but insulation.

I feel like the first GBS OSHA thread was going when West, TX exploded. That poo poo was hard to watch live because it was so close to a school and that whole section of the town looked like it just exploded in flames.

That's some pretty good poo poo if the lid still managed to embed itself into the ceiling *after* impacting the vent hood.

There's a lot about that photo that doesn't make sense. For one, I would expect the pot to deform some before/during exploding. Also whatever was in it should be everywhere.

This happened when I was a kid, minus the smashed stove, but with a cool lid-shaped dent in the ceiling. My mom was cooking crabs, and our kitchen smelled like them for a long time. I hate the smell of crabs.Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:There's a lot about that photo that doesn't make sense. For one, I would expect the pot to deform some before/during exploding.

Also whatever was in it should be everywhere. The pot would be unlikely to deform. Among other reasons, any minor deformation would only precipitate failure of the seal (causing the explosion). The only thing that surprises me here is the destruction of the stovetop.

Huh. My understanding had always been pressure cooker failure meant superheated water being shot around the kitchen, not an actual explosion.

Then some people went around to different facilities where chemicals were stored and asked what was being stored there and they got told to gently caress off? Correct! quote:In May, after the Chemical Safety Board report came out, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott ruled that government entities can withhold the locations of dangerous chemicals listed in state records (Tier II reports) to protect the public from terrorism or other threats. Abbott, a far-right Republican who is the leading candidate for Governor in Texas, then said that people can identify such facilities with a “drive around” their neighborhoods, and that they can find out about the chemicals by asking the companies via letter or email. He originally said they could just walk up and ask, but had to backtrack after remembering those facilities were on private property. Greg Abbott lost his job... because he wasn't conservative and anti-regulation enough.

Maybe they are olds who didn't think to grab their camera right away. Does anyone under 50 even use a pressure cooker? After the steam cleared and the water dried they realized they needed pictures for the insurance claim.
