I'm not even sure what set it all off. Just a severe bump in the road? I went back to watch but it doesn't seem like he crashed into anyone. Wonder how far away they found bottles (not that they probably bothered to look).

In Russia it's safe to assume the driver was drunk. He rear-ended the truck in front of him.

Norway man rescued after climbing into public toilet
Firefighters in Norway have pulled a man from the inside of a toilet after he lowered himself in to retrieve a friend's phone and became stuck in the tank below.
Mr Berntsen Larsen said he had volunteered to enter the tank, which is not connected to the sewer and which is only emptied once a season.
"I panicked because I hate confined spaces," he told Norwegian newspaper VG.
"It was drat disgusting - the worst I have experienced. There were animals down there too."
To make matters worse, Mr Berntsen Larsen quickly threw up after entering the tank, which was standing room only.
Mr Berntsen Larsen sustained injuries to his upper arms and said he believed he had been bitten several times. He was treated at hospital and given antibiotics.

I never noticed before, at ~1:30, and mostly off-camera, a blue-cab flatbed truck pulls across the three inner lanes of opposite direction traffic in the distance, trying to stop people from getting closer. :3:

From the way he was smacking/elbowing that one cow, I thought maybe he was trying to get between them to take a shortcut and they were too close. But it looks like there's a barrier in front of them, so unless he was going to slide between the bars that doesn't make sense either.

Maybe he was just a jerk that wanted to smack a cow, and the cows decided to make a sandwich out of him.

Yeah but he also does that weird little hip-gyrating dance which suggests he was doing it to be funny.

Well, if it's a latrine (which the picture kinda looks like) it smells... bad, but not as god awful terrible as you'd think. I think usually you chuck some friendly bacteria down there to partially decomp everything, which helps a lot.

In a PLC you can do a really simple anti tie-down circuit to stop the operator from jamming a sensor or button in place.

What you do is take the input signals (left button, right button) in parallel and run them into a timer. Set the timer for say 15 seconds. If either of the buttons is held down too long, the timer times out.

Once the timer times out, you can set it up to trip the machine offline and lock out operation until it's been reset.

I like the squishy grinding sound effects even better than the cheery music. It's one of the best video of all time, that's for sure.

Grittner told his mother the last thing he remembered before waking up in an ambulance was opening up the refrigerator.

http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/lo...6e5733080f.html

No one died, and the cause is unknown.

"The investigation had found no evidence of a leak or explosion in the underground gas distribution system, said Steve Schultz, a spokesman for Madison Gas & Electric. That would rule out an underground gas main rupture, but not necessarily a gas leak inside the destroyed house.

MGE did not receive calls for a gas leak prior to the explosion, and the company’s first responders were on the scene within 10 minutes to shut off gas to the residence, Schultz said."

In the US, yes, because houses seem to be spaced relatively well apart. Terraced housing is apparently more common in the UK, in which case you're going to take out your neighbours' houses too. Even if the ones further away look more or less unscathed, the houses prop each other up, so removing one in the row puts the whole terrace at risk of structural failure.

You forgot to mention it's also because in NA our houses are made of wattle and daub. Just sticks and sheetrock. Big bad wolf could blow them down.

And a week after the machine is installed, someone is going to call and ask how to bypass that.
