Well they sure as hell didn't survive by smartly putting themselves out of harm's way, I'm pretty sure luck is the only explanation. A few mph more and that car would have bowled them over.

Why the gently caress you would ever sit on the outside of a corner, especially on the exit, is beyond me. Braking/turning is when most crashes happen in racing, and that's exactly where a too-fast car is gonna go in those scenarios.

On Monday I was literally sitting around watching some dudes drilling from a barge, through 49 feet of water, into the soil and rock on the floor of a reservoir to get samples for geotechnical testing.

It probably doesn't help that eucalypts shed limbs when stressed.

They also shed limbs when they get a really big rainfall event after a long dry spell, which is basically australian_climate.txt. The tops of the trees become saturated with water and all the extra weight causes the dry wood to snap and drop branches.

Never camp under a gum tree.

I tried uploading this to Twitter but the audio got stripped off for some dumb reason.

some mayor from Saskatchewan posted:

No you didn't, you can't drill through water, it just can't be done.

E: I'd love it if they drilled in the river bed for this place now and didn't bother getting utility locates and hit a pipeline, or a big fibre optic trunk line or something.

"You can't locate under water, and if they hadn't forced us to drill for the bridge piers, we wouldn't have severed this __________ Line"
