What the gently caress is going on there? It looks like he looks back and sees the train. Also I never thought I'd ever see a real life version of the dramatic action movie dive tackle rescue.

Yeah, I found the full movie here: http://www.miscopy.com/1558/traffic/drunk-guy-save-certain-death-railway-worker/

Drunk guy trying to cross tracks with a bike, gets pissed and throws bike aside, then gets saved by a railway worker.

Looking closely, you're right. The worker comes into full sun just as he cuts across the tracks to "save" the guy, yet there is no corresponding light on the train when it goes past the same spot. It's clearly been pasted in.

That can't be the sole reason - as many accidents show, human aren't very good at noticing dangerous levels of carbon dioxide.
And it would be very easy to odorize nitrogen similarly like natural gas.

I'm answering this coming from construction. CO2 and N2 are both dangerous inert gases (guess we all know that) and in lab spaces they seem to only be piped into fume hoods or exhausted bio safety cabinets, except in special procedure rooms near vivariums. Those procedure rooms with exposed CO2 valves always have CO2 sensors.

CO2 sensors use IR, the same technology used in many lighting control occupancy sensors and smoke detectors. IR can't detect N2.

There are N2 sensors, but - and I'm purely guessing - I bet the prevalence of IR makes it cheaper to detect CO2 than N2.

edit: IR = infrared

Holy poo poo, some of those cars look like deathtraps. Looks like 2 people died in the whole crash though. Would have expected more watching that video tbh. :(

I remember from my training at a wildlife rehab center which used a lined trash can for gassing animals that the gradual introduction of CO2 meant that the animal would end up getting drowsy and falling asleep before the panic and burning lungs would set in.

The vet set she made the procedure change on her own after personal experience because their discomfort was REALLY obvious. After the change it became more like nap time.

Most of the time you don't bother measuring N2 air content - N2 isn't toxic, it's just dangerous if it displaces the oxygen.

The set up for those situations would be an O2 sensor, set to go off at 20% or 19% O2 per volume, depending on the organization's policy.

If I recall correctly, that bridge is built over a gas main or a sewer line, so no. You can't lower the road.

And we don't need a solution to that bridge anyway. The bridge is the solution for inattentive drivers.

I wonder how much you'd improve general driver behaviour in a given town/city if you found awareness obstacles(sorry I just made that term up, but you get what I mean I hope) like low bridges just randomly around towns or cities and started publicising the result ? Hit low bridge A and the next day your coworkers are going "is this your car mate?" just pick places all over town and start publicising idiots

Some bloody people honestly, years ago a bloke I worked with drove straight over cones into a drainage that was being repaired, and had to be towed out. He managed to get a cone stuck between the radiator and engine somehow too resulting in a fair bit of foul smoking smoke, the drainage ran right across the lane in the parking lot and he pretty much just rolled on into it like nothing was there when he headed out to hit a drive through for lunch. It had been open and coned off for two days.
