There's so much stupid there  It was the weight of the guy that skewed the platform left in the first place.

Even though the safety glass should prevent deep wounds, that's still gotta be in the nighborhood of 4000 pounds of glass that landed on him. If that other truck hadn't been there I think he'd have been crushed. I wonder if they unstrapped it and then realized they were in the wrong spot. You can see the truck starts to move, which sets it tipping.

There's a highway that goes thru the middle of my hometown, and on the outside of one oddly graded curve was a laundromat run by my 1st grade teacher's husband. Every 3-5 years or so, a logging truck would take that corner too quickly and pulverize the laundromat. No one ever got hurt, so it was a running joke that you oughta roll on in to So-And-So's Laundromat. The intersection there is called Malfunction Junction, not because of the logjams, but because it's a 5 way confluence from hell. Oh yeah, that's not even getting into the gas station on the corner opposite the laundromat with the propane tank that blew up...twice? Three times? helena_osha.wpd

This thread always made me dream of being an OSHA inspector just to see all the dumb stuff people do. Well for the past few months I've been working as a quality control inspector for fueling at a major airport. A lot of the equipment is very old, so I document many issues that won't be fixed for weeks. I have to pick my battles with what I'm going to tag out of service. If I followed the ATA Spec manual to the letter I'd take half the fleet out of service in a single shift. The fuelers are usually good about not bypassing interlocks. But sometimes I'll catch fuelers with equipment where someone has bypassed the primary sense line so they can fuel faster (at the risk of damaging the plane.) The story is always the same "wasn't me/dunno what that does/was like that when I started." One inspection I see this surge tank spewing a mist of pressurized jet fuel from a joint. I'm frantically gesturing at the fueler to release the deadman but instead he keeps trying to point to this warning light he noticed. I run over and hit the e-stop. Someone closed a valve that allows fuel in the surge tank to flow to the recovery tank (a valve which should be padlocked to OPEN at all times.) When the recovery tank fills up a safety will stop fuel from flowing to prevent the surge tank from filling, but since the recovery tank wasn't filling at all that safety never engaged. There's a secondary warning when the surge tank is full, but it doesn't stop fueling apparently. So pressure just built up in the surge tank until it started spewing from a joint. Last week a fueler asked me if I could put some jet fuel in his diesel tank because he was almost out of gas. He was serious. Some fuelers did that with a tanker once, it was belching fire and black smoke out of the exhaust. Jet fuel goes in the airplanes guys.  (To be honest, it would be pretty rad to put some AvGas in a car though.)

ethanol posted:I really feel like aviation fuel is an industry where I want the spec manual to be followed to the letter heck maybe I’m crazy My most important function is making sure the fuel is clean on behalf of all airlines, and to that end I will take any piece of equipment out of service if the fuel downstream of the filter vessel is even slightly dirty. An FAA audit lead to all but one guy getting fired because they were listing clean samples without actually taking samples, so that's where I came in. When I started I took one piece of equipment out of service and the mechanics had to open the filter vessel only to eventually find that the upstream and downstream sample lines were crossed. This was new equipment, but still in use for over a year and no one noticed that the samples were consistently dirty. I've ordered thousands of dollars of parts in a few months. From basic poo poo like wiper blades and bonding clamps all the way to stuff like pressure couplings and tail light assemblies.

Some stuff from one of my first jobs as a reporter at a small rural weekly paper. This board was always vertical when I saw it, so no prob.  Our "archives", boards on cardboard boxes (cement blocks were too boujee)  The same week they put industrial carpet down directly over the cement in the writing pool (cubicles in unwindowed basement), something melted the carpet near my desk.  Not osha, but our bathroom "decorations" show the overall facilities budget.  And this was in the bathroom too, so the meter checker could take a dump on the clock.  State of the art computer network.  Super great.  The back "room" of the basement, where the heat never reached (normally ~50 F in the winter)  Was like this the 6 months I worked there, never had the balls to check if it was live.

Some fuelers did that with a tanker once, it was belching fire and black smoke out of the exhaust. Jet fuel goes in the airplanes guys. Jet-A is pretty damned close to #1 diesel. Sometimes you have to defuel an aircraft, and there are restrictions about what you can do with that fuel once you take it out of the plane. You can put it into an empty truck and then back into the same aircraft you took it out of. But you frequently can't put it into another plane, and you definitely can't put it back into the tank farm, because of contamination concerns. Lots of times that fuel needs to just be disposed of. One way to dispose of it is to sell it to a utility company who will burn it in a peaking plant. But you can also burn it in forklifts, generators, etc. And it's not unheard of for guys at the airfield to put it in their POVs. There are some reasons not to do that, especially with newer diesel vehicles. One, the taxman doesn't like it. Two, it's higher sulfur then what's allowed in road diesels today. Three, since it's intended for turbines there's no cetane rating requirement so you might end up running rough and having fuel-rich exhaust. Four, modern vehicles want #2 diesel which has higher lubricity (but you can work your way around that with some two-stroke oil in the tank). But if we're talking about some old diesel truck from the 80s or something like that putting Jet-A in it isn't exactly *fine*, but the worst problems it's going to cause are regulatory in nature, not mechanical. There are airplanes with diesel engines, you fuel them up with Jet-A just like the jets at the airfield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_DA42

Cessna was also offering a 172 with a diesel engine in it, but it looks like they just discontinued it. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2018/may/09/cessna-discontinues-turbo-skyhawk-jt-a Military vehicles will also run completely fine on jet fuel, or at least JP-8. It's way easier for logistics if you only have to supply one type of fuel to your bases for your airplanes, ground vehicles, and generators. xergm fucked around with this message at 17:55 on May 24, 2018 |
