Someone was stuck on the rail unbeknownst to them and they never stood a chance. I hate such crossings and usually slow down and look both sides before I go through them.

Peetown Manning posted:lol thats so loving pathetic. good thing my guys just run saws over with skid steers. I'm sensing that it was a left handed person because that angle is so retarded. The chainsaw looks so shiny and spotless... I think this is a case of an over-eager new chainsaw owner: "what do you mean I should read the manual, it's just a matter of revving up the saw and pushing the chain into the trunk, nothing to it!" This link has both a description of the right way to cut a tree with a chainsaw, and a 5-picture series describing another wrong way to do it: http://www.rprtrees.com/services/tree-services

EPIC fat guy vids posted:A few years ago there was a blizzard near Montreal and the lights/ding sounds for the crossing never turned on, though the barriers went down. Someone was stuck on the rail unbeknownst to them and they never stood a chance. I hate such crossings and usually slow down and look both sides before I go through them. I work for a Member of Parliament, and our government is currently removing 50 of them. Two are in our electorate. Multiple times a week I have to deal with people insisting they're not time-consuming (down for 30 minutes of the daily two hour peak period) and perfectly safe (two children under the age of 12 have been killed, one person suffered permanent brain damage) and "if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

Powershift posted:don't post onion articles unsourced, TIA I mean, uhh, how about a tweet from the verified FIFA World cup account? https://twitter.com/FIFAWorldCup/status/913036518809374720 Those extensions are on each side and they're pure, 100% scaffolding underneath them. It's OK though, because a FIFA spokesman said quote:Inspection visits and detailed reports have shown that the temporary seats in the Ekaterinburg Arena fully comply with all safety and security requirements and I absolutely trust anything anyone from FIFA says to be complete self-serving bullshit that only respects whoever is paying them the most bribe money edit: Oh Russia, never change. Fire erupts at Russian World Cup stadium https://twitter.com/BreakingNNow/status/915982476299853826 quote:Stroytransgaz, the contractor building the 45,000-seat venue, revealed in a statement it started in the stadium's stands after a welding spark ignited polystyrene debris.

Russia also seems to have these wacky ramps that are set into the road and which pop up to block people from entering the railway crossing when a train is approaching. Of course, Russian drivers and cyclists always think they can beat the train so they try to drive around the boom gates and forget that there's a ramp ahead of them and hilarity ensues ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkY5FqEVyzE

When they're pulling that BMW out of the car trap at 5:05 that is possibly the ghetto-est thing I've ever seen.

just noticed... look at the little blue shed on the left. it looks like the crossing was activated manually by that guy that runs out, and then you can see him looking at the crossing as he manually raises the barriers.

Hedenius posted:I'm really looking forward to a future where US and Russian radar operators have to figure out if it's the LAX-Moscow 10:35 or a nuclear attack on a daily basis. I had watched a video about this and that was exactly the first thing that came to mind. That is an ICBM in all but name and when the next data leak hits governments are going to be pissed as hell. Two people followed up my comment with "They only hire Americans and have background checks", "Elon's electric car has 30% foreign workforce because they don't need the security". But I didn't bother to reply to such level of stupidity. The costs are going to be astronomical no matter how reusable it is. Even if you could turn it around like a normal passenger jet you have to deal with Concord economics that didn't work even in what is the biggest route for rich assholes that don't have noise problems. Man rated rockets don't really have a safe abort either other than riding it up until you can detach assuming you don't just explode or the range officer blows you up because you are going to hit a city. Then you have to deal with weather conditions that are far more constraining that scrub launches all the time. If this was a passenger service to the moon or space station I would understand but point to point on Earth?
