We're all mad here.


Man, I would have loved to have walked off with it as a souvenir, but I'm pretty sure they would have noticed the perimeter of fully visible insulation around the window, and I would have just been like "Uhh, I'unno, it was like that when I got here?" and then someone would have gotten suspicious and next thing you know parts of the plane are found in my laptop bag and I'm on the no-fly list 3000 miles from home. Maybe still worth the risk though.

The inside windows on passenger planes have holes in them so the pressure doesn’t blast them into shards and break the outside window. They don’t do anything other than keep passengers away from the actual important windows.

It’s a safety barrier and part of the interior compartments that are thankfully not supposed to be airtight.

If the inside window comes off, the actual worst thing that could happen is for someone to try to smash it into the real window.

If it's roots were threatening a foundation, it was probably going to come down anyway. Not in such a rush-job way, but still coming down.

We also had trees like that taken down here in Florida because of hurricanes. Nobody wants something like that toppling on a house.

Wow, that was a really nice tree. Sucks it had to come down because of some rear end in a top hat.

It was a pine tree. gently caress pine trees, they should be in forests only.

Exactly. It's very efficient - just drive directly to the junkyard and toss the keys through the little window.

It looks like they knew this thing was gonna blow when they flipped the switch, besides that they're filming at all, everyone's real hesitant, preparing to run, so why would they even flip the switch in the first place and presumably make the problem worse?

When I was a kid, I accidentally did something like this to another kid's arm when he ran into me while I was holding a pencil. They called my mom and worded it this way: I "stabbed another kid". So you can imagine the hell I caught for that until she understood what actually happened.

When I was in grade school, two kids ran into each other head-first on the soccer field. Unfortunately, one kid was a head taller than the other, so the taller kid lost a tooth and the shorter kid had said tooth embedded in his forehead with the root hanging out of it as he screamed holy hell.

That triggered a suppressed memory of going out with family to the near by tide flats early one Halloween afternoon. When heading back to the car to leave my younger 9 year old brother was lagging behind. I noticed him trip and fall then stay on the ground for a bit holding his eye. I ran up to him and when he pulled his hand away there was blood.

When he fell, he went face first into some dry grass/reeds. One of the stalks went in to his eye. We rushed him to the ER. Thankfully it went between the eyeball and eye socket so it didn't puncture it. They had to clean out bits of debris and there was a slight abrasion but no serious damage. He spent the night home and we got him bags of candy to make up for it.

He was wearing glasses, too. The stalk just went in at the right angle.

I think there's one question the article failed to adequately address:

did he play the ball where it lay?

Six rescue divers have drowned while trying to save a teenager from a disused mining pool in Malaysia.

They were searching for a 17-year-old boy who is thought to have fallen into the body of water while fishing with his friends on Wednesday.

Authorities said the divers became caught in a "whirlpool" and sudden strong currents caused some of their equipment to come off.

The search for the missing boy resumed on Thursday.

'A very sad day'
The boy and his friends were about to start fishing at the mining pool in Sepang district in Selangor state when he fell in, reports said.

The divers followed all safety procedures as they went into the pool on a search and rescue mission, according to Sepang district police chief Abdul Aziz Ali.

They were all wearing complete diving equipment and were tied to a single rope, he said.

Mr Aziz told state news agency Bernama that a strong current "caused all victims to spin in the water", adding that this caused their equipment to come off.

"A whirlpool had formed at the area and a team on the banks said they saw the six divers struggling to get out," Fire and Rescue Department director-general Mohammad Hamdan Wahid told the New Straits Times.

Ugh, I'm having a hard time imagining just what the hell went on there that would cause 6 rescue divers to drown at once. Was there like a giant drain hole like they have in the dams?

I guess she found out now that golf is just as lame watching it in person as on TV.
