I think you’re talking about the Station Square collapse, but the Algo Centre Mall collapse isn’t that far off.

Canada sure knows how to build ’em. :thumbsup:

Wasn't that the one where the news interviewed this one guy who talked about how horrible it was that he watched a friend burn to death but his hands were too full of his belongings to stop and help?

I've heard that after an impact like that, even if the hat looks fine and seems undamaged, you should discard it and get a new one- is that true? (I'm not in a profession that usually requires hard-hats. )

Yes.

Same thing with bike helmets. They're made to break and fracture upon any impact and sometimes they do that in way you can't detect.

hard hats are basically disposable. bike helmets dissipate impacts by shearing so you MOSDEF want to replace them after a crash.

The former, yeah. The actual cause was a bit more complex, of course.

quote:

At 9AM on the morning of April 23, 1988, customers were let into the store as part of a grand opening sale for senior citizens. Within 10 minutes an employee noticed water spraying from an overhead pipe that had burst. It was buckling under pressure from a roof beam that was twisting out of shape above a steel column. The 4.5 minute-long structural failure was heard and witnessed by many of the store occupants, including several who took photographs of the twisting and crushed beam. Evacuation alerts were issued through the public address system and the store was emptied in less than 5 minutes. The mayor of Burnaby, Bill Copeland, who presided over the opening ceremonies, assisted in directing the evacuation of approximately 600 customers and 307 employees.[2]

Four structural bays of the roof, measuring 27 by 23 meters (87 by 75 feet), collapsed into the produce section. One store employee was trapped under the debris and was removed by first responders using forklifts; he suffered a crushed pelvis. Several people were blown off their feet by the rushing air from the collapse.

Very bad. They might short-circuit when they get warm. They will also lose electrolyte and oxidize until the hole is sealed again, making them even more likely to warm up more during use.

I get why a short circuit in large batteries is pretty much a nightmare scenario...how does a badly patched hole contribute to this? Also, ahhhh, wtf they were patching damaged batteries and their patch didn't even stop the loss of electrolyte?!

Oh, is the leaking electrolyte the cause of possible shorts?

Sailing ships couldn't turn around to pick you up anyway, so being able to swim just means you tread water before drowning.

being able to swim recreationally is kind of a luxury. when the thai boys were in the cave, many people commented on how they couldn't swim although thailand is a fairly waterlogged country. well, if you have to share all your swimming holes, rivers etc. with pollution, boats, and wildlife...

this is true historically as well. it wasn't until after or during the second world war that the us navy required sailors to learn how to swim, which means teaching them how to swim, because few people lived in an environment where they had access to a safe place to swim as a child. it's often just easier to tell kids to stay the hell away from water

That's why they would sometimes heave to and drop a small boat in. Going overboard even in the age of sail wasn't an absolute death sentence.

Well in lovely seas or a storm you're prolly hosed.
