I don't know what kind of missile that is but the plume very much looks like a solid rocket motor. I'm guessing the missile has a solid first stage/booster that misfires and immediately detaches, at least part of it is then lodged at the edge of the deck and continues burning. So lucky for them they only have a giant firework going off on deck and not the actual ship burning :v: (at least for the duration of the video)

Sea Dart.



And, yeah, that's exactly right: solid-fuel booster first stage, kerosene/air-burning second stage, and that's what it looks like when a solid fuel motor has cracks in it and breaks apart and spills burning chunks of rock fuel across your deck. Some minor damage to the deck/antiskid coating, other than that no big deal.

I'll freely admit my ignorance for industrial electric stuff, but I feel like "I don't know what happened, lets throw some snow on it" is the mentality that might have caused this problem in the first place. :ussr:

I don't like any kind of switchgear where you need to open it up like that to be able to locally operate it. We have stuff with local operating handles for electrically controlled switchgear, you're in front of the gear but the doors are all closed when you throw the switch. (There are also little ports you can slam a broomstick into to mechanically trip the breaker in the event of a control power failure where you don't have 120VDC on the trip circuit to open the circuit breaker.) :stare:

I am thinking that was some kind of isolator switch or manual operator (I'm not familiar with Russian switchgear)? Maybe opening an isolator switch under load that's not meant to be opened under load leading to a nasty arc and a fault that isn't properly interrupted?

Throwing the snow was kinda' cute. I think the damage has been pretty total at that point for that unit and probably a good chunk of the bus.

Finally, Aqua Ohio employee killed in Mentor trench collapse

"OSHA cited Aqua Ohio with two violations with penalties during a 2013 inspection -- one for failing to provide a ladder or other means for a worker to get out of a trench in case of emergency, an OSHA requirement. The other violation was for "spoils too close to edge of trench," which meant the trench could collapse, according to OSHA spokesperson Scott Allen."

I'm reminded of Domino's 20+ year promotion "30 minutes or it's free" which came to an end when the company had to settle several multi-million dollar lawsuits after their drivers caused a bunch of accidents by running red lights and driving like maniacs in order to deliver the pies on time.

I used to work for dominos as a pizza delivery driver when I was in college (uk college so age 17) on those 50CC mopeds, and I can tell you the "30minutes thing" was loving bullshit. I lived in a town of around 250k people, and this was before satellite navigation, and sometimes the routes you had to try and remember for a 3 stop delivery were pretty hard work. The poo poo I did on that bike to not got yelled at by my boss included:

- riding the thing offroad through parks at night (i got stuck more than once which was great fun) and got chased by a park patrol dog too....a big loving Alsatian
- I used to hop of my bike if the traffic lights turned red, run on the pavement with it to get around the light, then hop back on
- Completely ignoring train barriers: if the crossing was down but you couldnt see a train, you just went across or you would lose 10mins sometimes.
- I got hit by a car at in the rain, the bike got stuck under it and totalled, and I was flung about 10 feet but escaped with minor bruising and moderate grazing. My boss got pissed at me cos he would be one driver down while I went to the hospital

CCTV and camera phones wasn't really a thing in 1997, not at the quality where you could do anything with it anyway, so you could get away with a lot of that.

Oh, I also got chased down the street by a crazy man with a hammer wearing no shirt because I went to the wrong address. Thankfully he was fat and I was 17 so he couldn't catch me and gave up.

gently caress dominos.

So one of our machines has been leaking oil and the solution the workers decided on was to put a bucket under the leak. Then when the smell of oil got to be too much to bear, the supervisor brought in a box fan to point at the bucket. Thing is, those fans have motors that can spark. Basically the supervisor rigged a loving bomb without knowing it.

Lubricating oil? Hydraulic oil? Both aren't particularly volatile or inflammable.

Hydraulic oil certainly can be but that usually requires a pinhole leak from a pressurized line to aerosolize enough of it to go fuel-air, or just spray right on the exhaust manifold. And that's how a big rear end Excavator burns to the ground!

But a dripping leak into a bucket shouldn't be too bad. If the smell of the oil is that nasty it might be gear oil? I dunno.

I was a manager (supervisor, really) who was also the store safety leader. So I already had some actual authority which was nice because you were pretty hosed if you were just some rear end in a top hat on the salesfloor trying to tell people to stop loving around and work safe.

The description was basically to take on a bunch of extra bullshit for no increase in pay, have your co-workers throw a bitch fit because you have to leave your area and run a 30-60 minute meeting once a week, have people show up at your meeting with the intent to stump you by bringing up every little issue they can think of with no proposed solution or proactivity on their own part.

Honestly, if I had to do it again, I would go against the grain and encourage everyone to report all injury incidents as I think that would do more to create a safety minded environment. When the focus is on accident free days, it just encourages people to not report anything unless they have to go to the ER because "OMG, now we don't get a pizza party!". Also, the company would always find a way to blame the employee for getting hurt and write them up for not working safe. Even better if they drug tested them and they showed up positive for the marijuana they smoked a week ago because then they can just fire them and not have to pay for any medical expenses.

I was just at a store buying some groceries and they had a sign that said "6 Years Accident Free!" and I had to laugh because that's so full of poo poo and I would be scared to work somewhere that goes through the effort to hide accidents for that long.
