Their hitting anything is purely an accident. That time USAF lost a few H-bombs at Palomares they sent another bomber onto the same flight path, which released dummy bombs at the same spot and the same speed, to see where the bombs might have fallen. They lost the dummies too.

Thanks! Unfortunately someone else beat me to it  There sure are a lot of sites that offer it for download, but then after you stare at your screen for 2 minutes waiting for the download to be enabled, they say it got deleted. I think I'll just read it online on scribd

Then it's advisable to leave the vicinity of the HF.

HF got -- by far -- the most emphasis in safety training at my college major, starting with day 1 of freshman year. And we worked with chlorine-based gases and other nasty things. Twenty years later and that poo poo is still fresh in my mind.

I was behind a truck pulling a trailer like that but there was nothing at all on it. Ohhh boy I kept a lot of distance from that thing. It was so light, it was bouncing around uncontrollably from every tiny bump into other lanes.

Those little trailers are scary because they usually see no maintenance aside from a squirt of WD-40 after they leave the Sears they were bought from in the 1980s. Also LOL if you think I'm paying attention to the maximum recommended speed for this thing.

I used to work at this inorganic chemistry R&D/manufacturing place that didn't have awful OSHA, but didn't have the best either. To wit, some of the R&D people got sick from a zinc vapor release in the lab. poo poo happens, and it doesn't happen all the time, but those Ph.D.'s should have known better. Fast forward a couple of years to the discovery of a new compound and the desire to synthesize such on an industrial scale. The ops people and the CTO were pushing a HF-based synthesis process. I was pretty horrified and didn't want to be anywhere near there, as I value my sense of smell and life. When I had an opportunity to volunteer to get laid off shortly thereafter, I ran, not walked, out of there. I have no idea if they ever went down the HF path but my friends from there are all still alive and able to smell, so I guess they are doing OSHA!

hackbunny posted:poo poo writing is poo poo writing. I wonder if it's a deal like Ignition! where everyone says the book is hi-la-ri-ous but I think I'm one of a dozen people on earth who has actually read it ignition is well written but very technical and a very hard read for anyone who isn't a chemist. the zany anecdotes everyone loves to quote are all the zany anecdotes in the book. I hope you like hydrazine and nitric acid because that's what you're actually going to read about Ok, so I have a PhD but the last chemistry class I took was as a first year undergrad and I found Ignition to be extremely readable.

Actually I think the chain of events was : *adjusts dash cam so it captures the full spectacle* *speeds up* We watch a lot of Russian dash cam footage in the PYF Schadenfreude thread and I've noticed that a lot of the time the people in those videos also don't slow down when a horrific accident happens right in front of them, but most cars in Russia seem to be really old and poorly maintained so I guess their brakes aren't worth poo poo anyway. Also they're almost always speeding like crazy so I guess their attitude is "If I try to swerve or brake at this speed I'll just roll the car or get rear ended by the car that's inevitably tailgating me and also speeding so I'll keep going and try to zoom past the accident to safety" Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 02:09 on May 2, 2018 |
