We never put it to a productive use, no. The Soviets put out some oil well fires if that counts. Both superpowers attempted to stimulate oil/gas production with nuclear fracking, but I don’t think it achieved much.

You would want to place it under the mountain to get any meaningful results. You can find video of the cannikin test that the US did up in the Aleutian islands to see what a subterranean blast does. On the surface a large portion of your energy would be going the wrong direction, escaping into the air away from the mountain.

The Wiggly Wizard posted:Kind of looks like someone poured hot mix over a log bridge? Is that right? Is there an :Africa: emote? There should be. That's standard in lots of places like the DRC and Zambia - bridges look reasonable but you stop your vehicle and walk it first because of poo poo like this. You usually end up going around and finding a shallow water crossing.

The people standing there are dumb, and the guy getting hit in the head with the wheel proves why, not every pilot is going to hit that approach perfect and will come in low at some point.

Kibayasu posted:Is coming in from the water side even more dangerous or what? Seems like that would give you a lot more room. You don't want a cliff in your climbout path; arresting a steep descent is a lot easier than taking off and immediately going vertical to clear terrain. Kinda like that airport in Nepal. If you think powering down a slope and taking off over the edge of a cliff is sketchy, look what lies in the other direction.  And that one's steep enough that they actually do have to land uphill. Hope you don't come in too hot on landing!

Platystemon posted:You know how some people think that planes fall like bricks if an engine fails and that’s not actually true of airliners? This is why all those proposals for giant-size man-carrying multirotors  always kinda crack me up. A plane with an engine failure obviously can still glide, and if you're lucky, a dead-stick landing is often survivable. A helicopter with an engine failure can autorotate and stands at least a chance of landing safely. Lose even one engine on the multirotor and whoops, you're going down.
