 A friend just spotted this at work and sent me the pic. Probably an old joke on job sites, but it made me think of this amazing thread.

Fancy_Breakfast posted:Where did you end up coming to rest, any issues getting out of it? I'm always afraid all the equipment and the stretcher could come loose and cause a lot of harm or pin me down. I really don't remember a lot of it, but I do remember sliding on the box's right side because we were hit from the left. We were running code with a STEMI alert, and the idiot who hit us just wasn't paying attention. Speeding and careless. I do remember being folded up around the bench seat and cabinet, again, with the box on its side. Our patient was stuck strapped into the stretcher on its side because we actually did a p.decent job packaging him. It was more difficult getting him out than anything. That and trying to provide care and making sure he and my partner were both ok.

ncumbered_by_idgits posted:This is probably a stupid question but I've wondered this before. Assuming both of those vehicles share an owner, does the insurance company frown upon (more than normal I guess) accidents where the policyholder of both vehicles is the same entity? No. I've handled those. Subrogation (the act of collecting the money paid out) against the responsible party can be a bureaucratic pain in the rear end, though.

About that thread title... That was until earlier today a highway bridge in Italy. 100 meters of it is no longer there, because it fell down. Seems reasonable to assume a few cars also fell down but there is no official casualty number yet.

Not sure if I trust the testimony or the implied cause, but it does make me wonder what kind of damage could it do to a bridge as a worst case scenario. I assume that this type of bridges have lightning rods but what if it didn't?

I assume that this type of bridges have lightning rods but what if it didn't? What could lightning do to a steel and concrete bridge? Maybe heat water trapped in cracks in concrete causing it to vaporize explosively? I'm really curious as to what they will find. If they were doing foundation work already, and a large storm came up, then possibly it got undermined by rushing water? Wind is a possibility too I guess. I already hate driving over high bridges. This doesn't help. At all.

Looks like this video was taken while the collapse was already in progress, but certainly looks like there was lightning in the area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs3nvzt5qY8
