Make yourself as large as possible to scare the cloud away.

If that doesn't work, play dead, which will eventually get really, really easy.

RDX is OSHA in some other ways too:

"RDX’s threat as a powerful neurotoxin affecting brain and nervous system development was at the same time becoming better understood. American troops in Vietnam had experienced epileptic fits when they ate C-4 explosives containing RDX as a sort of gruesome initiation rite. A Chinese medical journal reported that a person who accidentally ate RDX had died. Then five RDX factory workers in Tennessee also succumbed to seizures after being exposed to high levels of RDX in dust. And in 1986, researchers in Arkansas reported on a 3-year-old child who had violent seizures after he was exposed to RDX on his mother’s work boots."
"In 1990, the EPA classified RDX as a “possible human carcinogen,” a formal warning that a contaminant is potentially dangerous and deserves more study. It also revised its suggested limits for how much RDX was safe in water, determining that the level the Army had applied at Cornhusker was 17 times too lenient. Instead, the EPA suggested that only two parts per billion of RDX was safe, giving it a danger score stricter than other deadly pollutants, including benzene and the herbicide atrazine."

I'm wondering how feasible it would be to distill RDX from wastewater, and if that might also play into the extremely stringent standards for the material. Even if you don't get a combustible amount of RDX, you still end up with a concentration that functions as a neurotoxin, so I think it's less that it's a contamination hazard, and more that it's a possible security concern.

Possible, but also possible that it's about "personal responsibility" checklists and other dumb paperwork. Basically, not that someone steals them, but "that forgetful gently caress Steve keeps borrowing everyone's masks, and they end up in weird places or missing", so now everyone has to account for their personal inventory, and the only way to guarantee that Steve doesn't borrow your poo poo is to lock it up.

What gets me about these is that every time something hits this bridge, the idiot driving has to have run a red light to do it.

There needs to be a camera on the other side as well so we can laugh at facial expressions and morons bouncing around their now-airborne truck cabins.

Looks like they have new cameras, I appreciated the slow-motion as the bridge peeled off the top of the truck. Just leaving the truck there is a pro move. No way they can find out who rented it or anything...

quote:

As Jürgen Henn explains in his website, the bridge cannot be raised because doing so would require the tracks to be raised for several miles to adjust the incline. North Carolina Railroad doesn’t want to pay for the enormous expense it would entail. The bridge cannot be lowered either because there is a major sewer line running only four feet under the street.

That light's set to stay red forever if there's an overheight truck waiting, isn't it? I can imagine someone waiting there a while, assuming the light is broken, and just going for it, thinking that the "MUST TURN" sign somehow doesn't apply to them.

But this guy didn't even slow down, and the other side was already green by that point. Even if there hadn't been a bridge there, he could have nailed some car in the intersection. I'd like to see a followup on this one, to see if he had a suspended license or something.

This guy did run the red, but if you stop for long enough it does eventually turn green, even if the truck is still there.

There should be one of those "please take ticket" booths there that just issues reckless driving citations and turns the light green

Sounds like they are personally issued and at shift change the outgoing shift had put their gear up in their personal locker and the incoming shift hadn't retrieved their gear yet.

Although there's also really dumb poo poo like when escape respirators are at the point of use in the field. You need to protect them from the elements/etc so they go in a box/chest. And to quickly inspect them there are quick break seals so an inspector can just walk up and say yup, box is sealed so respirators are good to go.

Then somebody sees the seals and is like those are just zip ties and zip ties them shut. Zip ties aren't exactly quick to break.

Duck tape garbage bags to the windows and turn the A/C off, or run/drive transverse then upwind to the big green cloud. "Evacuate or shelter in place" means the weather was probably conducive to a slow stroll transverse to a lazy green death cloud meandering your way on the breeze.

It's a hire truck, so I assume someone at the hire office looked at his license. Don't you get your license physically taken away if it's suspended?
