Tamborine tree lopper may have lost toes in horror stump grinder accidentquote:The stump grinder tore the steelcaps off the safety boots with the homeowner saying he could not see the extent of the injuries clearly because of the amount of blood.  Everything about dealing with trees seems like nightmare fuel - even once the tree is felled without crushing you, the wood chippers and stump grinders can still get you.

Did anyone manage to eject? Not that they'd probably fair any better if captured on the ground.

I remember reading about a lot of accidental ejections during my lifetime. I wonder if, with modern military planes, more have crashed due to the pilot accidentally launching themselves into orbit than due to having been shot down? The most infamous one I remember was the Polish pilot who ejected himself but the plane kept going, ran out of fuel in Belgium (I think) and killed a dude by demolishing the house it hit.

Not really OSHA, but just found out my father in law noticed today that his gas grill was still on from the last use on the 4th. When it's connected to the home gas line, I suppose it will go forever like some sort of patriotic eternal flame.

There was a less fatal, but still pretty OSHA version of that in the US, called the Cornfield Bomber. The pilot ejected from an out of control jet, which then righted itself and flew on without him until it ran out of fuel and landed in a field.

Best thing about the Cornfield Bomber is that the Air Force put it in their museum so you can go check that sumbitch out for free anytime. EDIT: Or maybe that it was in such good condition, they put it back into service for a while.

Unless there's a vent cut into the wall, the AC is dumping hot air into the room in addition to cold.

When it's connected to the home gas line, I suppose it will go forever like some sort of patriotic eternal flame. My brother has been living in his current house for about 10 years now and every now and then he'd get a faint whiff of gas in the kitchen, even when he hadn't been using the gas grill at all. It was only ever a tiny faint whiff of gas and it barely ever happened so he never got around to looking into it. Last year he finally decided to get a plumber to check it out and the guy discovered that when the house was being built someone put a nail right through the pressurised gas line but it was only when the weather got to a certain temperature that the copper pipe expanded enough to emit some gas. Now that's a slow leak.

My parents built their home 10 years ago, but they don't actually live in it and it stands empty for majority of the year. Weirdly enough they would pay huge electricity bills, to the point that they thought that the neighbor was stealing it. So, my dad one time started looking around for the causes and found out a bit of a drill, left over by the construction people, that was stuck in the power cable and some casings, I think. Apparently it was there since house was built and was causing all the issues. I guess it's always the little things and you can't predict what surprises other people will leave you with

Jerry Cotton posted:The most infamous one I remember was the Polish pilot who ejected himself but the plane kept going, ran out of fuel in Belgium (I think) and killed a dude by demolishing the house it hit. quote:The incident started as a routine training flight. Colonel Nikolai Skuridin, the pilot, departed from the Soviet Bagicz Airbase near Kołobrzeg, Poland. During takeoff, the afterburner failed and the engine began losing power. At an altitude of 150 meters and descending, the pilot assumed he had a complete engine failure and ejected without incident. The engine had not failed completely, and the aircraft remained airborne, flying on autopilot in a westerly direction.[1][2] The unmanned aircraft left Polish airspace, crossing into the airspace of East Germany and then West Germany, where it was intercepted by a pair of U.S. Air Force F-15s of the 32d Tactical Fighter Squadron, of the United States Air Forces Europe, stationed at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands.[3] As the MiG-23 crossed into Dutch airspace the F-15 pilots reported the plane having no pilot, radioing "There is definitely no pilot in the plane" and continuing the intercept into Belgian airspace. The escorting F-15s were instructed to down the plane over the North Sea. As the MiG ran out of fuel, it started a slow turn to the south. The French Air Force put armed Mirage fighters on readiness in case the MiG approached French territory. After flying over 900 km (560 mi) the MiG crashed into a house, killing a Belgian teenager.[1]
