You check that everything that's supposed to move moves the right way, and everything that's not supposed to move doesn't. Yes, the ground crew is supposed to have done that already, but you're the one in the hotseat if something does go wrong, so on the walkaround you double-check it yourself.

LifeSunDeath posted:Starting An F/A-18 On An Aircraft Carrier Theres a lot of stuff on an aircraft that you need to make sure moves or does not move. For example they physically checks that there was no cover on the engine inlet and then checks that the pitot tube didn't have a cover (or maybe it was an angle of attack vane or something, in which case they were confirming it could move). Data tapes with mission information. The C variant is from the late 80s.

Yeah the more i watched the video thinking about all those hands on your plane, i get why you'd just nudge everything to make sure it didn't fall to pieces.

There's a guy that'll do that in the bathroom of the building I work in. He doesn't wear gloves though.

theres a whole lot of stuff at my job that every person involved is supposed to check every single time and its a lot less complex than a airplane so that kinda just seems natural

How was the driver not in the lead when she was obliviously able to travel at just under the speed of light? Also: holy poo poo!

Why was she even going that fast during that stretch of the track? Did she forget what the track route was and where the turn was, or not even notice every other driver slowing to take the turn? I wonder if it was mechanical, stuck throttle or something.

I don't think we see the initial accident but it seems like it's the fault of the organisers station.

Might have been a brake failure. It’s a testament to how ridiculously safe Formula cars are that the driver “only” suffered a broken back.

If there is a crack or flaw you can feel it well beyond the ability to see it. If something breaks off by wiggling it a couple G's isn't going to be any kinder.

I was sure this was a mistake and you meant micrometres but nope, you can detect a ridged surface pattern at that amplitude (not individual features like a single crack). https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130916110853.htm

Flooding the area with a heavier than air inert gas might do the trick. But calling 911 and waiting for emergency crews to turn off the gas would be faster. EvilJoven fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Nov 18, 2018 |

Also that would be The Worst loving Idea. At this point its safer to let it burn at that controlled rate and get it cut off at the closest viable cutoff point really loving quick.

There's a lot of ways to do it: inert gas, a huge shock like explosives or an air blast, burying it in a ton of dirt or sand, etc. A flammable towel limply draped over it is not one of those ways.

In theory, you could interrupt the flow of gas long enough that it doesn't immediately reignite. At which point, you've actually made your problem worse.
