How's this for a strange one. One of the oil rigs I delever to, a pulling unit had to stop the job and shut down. High winds? Gas leak? Super high preasure? Nope loving bats. Apparently the light towers I delever and maintain attract so many bugs that the bats from carlsbad caverns flock over and feast on them. After said feast they nest down in all the pipes pulled from the well and then swarm the derrick man when work starts. Bats

Kinda reminds me of one of the mills that we work for- it gets so many trucks that it has developed an ecosystem of small birds that clean the bugs off the grilles when they back into a dock.

A coal port I worked had a case of a loving monkey owned by a ship captain escaped, jumped up the shiploader and ran the 1km worth of tressles to shore, climbed up a stacking tower where an electrician was fixing a light and gave him a nice surprise grabbing onto his back.

IPCRESS posted:Bio security Australia must have been thrilled. Did the captain ever get allowed back? Much above my pay grade and on that specific day I was onshore about 10 beers in at the pub - I was hired by BMA to film and photograph a poo poo load of their work. Of course certain things would always be taken away and I've had a large number of meetings where footage I shot inadvertantly became evidence. All I saw was the aftermath of customs etc losing their poo poo. My uncle is Maritime Security and was flown cross country for the case, thats how I heard about it while over beers the days after. The story is legit, but for funsies I'll add: this uncle was in the middle of writing up a ship for safety violations, lent over while writing in his pad and fell down a flight of stairs on the ship. Also the only photo the family has of him in the Navy is of him saluting and having a piss off the deck. EDIT: For those who read along on my misadventures with our gas plant...the new filler was caught twice for smoking while filling LPG into tankers. Also ciggie butts in the cab of the truck. Two other drivers were written up for speeding, or using their phones while driving (every truck has 24/7 video recording of the cab - and they ARE watched even before an accident occurs). Also my direct manager got himself stuck in a dumpster and sliced his legs a bunch due to scrap metal and fluro light tubes. What a week to have off!

All of our trucks have onboard event recording that has been a godsend for avoiding fraudulent insurance claims- right now all we get is raw telemetry but plan on upgrading to cameras (external at least) in 2018. Since this year's priorities have been building compliance with the electronic logging mandate we haven't put many resources into cameras yet.

The dog turned around to the noise, ostensibly warning the handlers. There's a chance the guy would've heard the thing in time, but as it looks, the dog turning around in the first place is what alerted him to it. So, even if the dog didn't necessarily fully save the day, they took some steps to help.

The trainer turns about less than a second after the dog, because who the gently caress wouldn't hear a car barreling towards you while scraping its right side down an entire city block. (Deaf people, but this is a guide dog for the visually impaired.)

gently caress the trucks and gently caress the road. I'd be sprinting for high ground, fast as my chubby legs could carry me.

That hill looks quite steep, I'd be worrying about a landslide from erosion at the bottom. Keep running till you're over the top and far down the other side so you don't end up getting sucked back in. Never look back.

Provided it doesn't get to deep, it's likely very safe to wait it out in the vehicles. Rather than running in the flowing water and all the debris that gets pushed to high ground.

Uh so today I was working on actually making an inventory of our department's chemicals and among some of the typical horrors (no document of received and opened dates, for example) I found a small bottle with corroded masking tape around the cap and looked at the label to find it's this poo poo called thionyl chloride. Nobody knows for how long we've had it or what it was used but apparently it reacts violently with water to produce loving nerve gas or something and needs to be stored separately from pretty much everything. We found it just sitting in a bin with a poo poo ton of acids. We got a good waft that ol' acidy vinegar smell when we opened the bin.

Peetown Manning posted:People lost their homes here and that is bad. But these videos I've seen so far seem to suggest a lower order of chaos than you'd think an earthquake would invoke: alarms going off and being heeded, people following procedures, emergency reactions occurring decisively - general things that make me optimistic. According to a news report I heard there was an earthquake drill earlier in the day across the city in remembrance of a deadly earthquake 32 years ago today.

Thionyl chloride makes sulfur dioxide and hydrochloric acid on contact with water. It's not pleasant but is in no way "nerve gas".

Yeah I was exaggerating just judging from all the "reacts violently with water" poo poo I kept reading. Good to know, thanks. The person in charge of the chem bunker told us to put it in a waterproof container and keep it on its own shelf so I guess it's in their (vastly more qualified) hands now.
