Thank you for posting the complete version of this, I'd only seen up to the truck being swept off the bridge before. "Forlorn on top of my brotruck" and "step off into the void" are vital to the story.

The CSB voice is referring to the voiceover from US Chemical Safety Board's videos. For an example, have my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rktMzw2fd28 It's my favourite because they were doing so many dangerous things that investigators couldn't determine which one actually caused the explosion Edit: beaten but at least my embeds work

Yours is one of the best as an introduction. Though I do like the industrial ones where it becomes clear that no-one in the sight actually knows how the plant works. It's become cargo-cult industry.

Another good one is the refinery/chemical plant explosion where the bolts that held the gearbox on the valve also held the valve on the pipe, but only on three percent of the valve sets.

Remember that bridge in rural Saskatchewan that collapsed days after it was built? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sask...ridge-1.4859394 Idiocy all around. They didn't want to build a bridge that was "too expensive" (rather, one that would fall down). Edit: Current state is they have already re-drilled new piles for the bridge, with a geotechnical study happening but not slated to be finished until after the bridge is rebuilt klockwerk fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Oct 16, 2018 |

I hope the government inspects the bridge the day it's reopened, slaps a big rear end CONDEMNED sign on it and barricades the road. Then forces the RM to dis-incorporate.

God I can't wait till that bridge falls again. Problem is, if it should miraculously survive the next 40 years or whatever, someone is going to be all "see? We didn't need that better bridge after all".

Article says it's being built at the contractor's expense, so don't blame the RM, blame the contractor. Looks like it was also a design-build contract, so this really is the contractor's fault. RM needs to inspect and approve it though, which would have caught these issues before building the thing. That bridge is definitely falling down again.

Looks like it was also a design-build contract, so this really is the contractor's fault. RM needs to inspect and approve it though, which would have caught these issues before building the thing. That bridge is definitely falling down again. Is there not some sort of building code for civil projects, the same way there is for residential? If I'm not mistaken, it would have to meet some sort of minimal building code, set out by the province. In Ontario (don't know about Sasquatchewan) the only time provincial code does not apply, is when the local code requires something to exceed whatever the provincial code is. So, wouldn't the contractor have to a the very least, meet the provincial standards? And thus be totally liable, despite what the municipality might say about budget or whatever? Like ultimately, the contractor has to make the decision of "we can/can't build this bridge for this amount of money".

Bip Roberts posted:I'm sad you can't get the hot doggers any more where the hot dog is the resistor. I bought one of those a couple of years ago. Makes the hot dog taste like metal. That plus the assumed danger makes it great for football Sunday with friends. I know next to nothing about electricity. It’s obviously unsafe for the hot dog, but does it pose any real risk to the user? Opening the lid opens the circuit, so unless there’s a hole in the lid, you can’t access the...prongs...while it’s cooking. Actually seems there’s less opportunity for harm than from an oven, stove or grill. Greater opportunity for a bad-tasting hot dog, though.
