I want to see the OSHA rear end action movie this is from, where the construction worker hero fights the bad guy some scaffolding and they both fall off, but the hero is safe because he always wears his PPE.

The bad guy is a corporate lobbyist or something.

The Sydney to Hobart Yacht race of 1998 was tragic as huge seas & storms decimated the fleet, leaving 6 people dead and 5 boats sunk.
*** HOW this was obtained ***
This recording of the HF transmissions from 1998 was recorded by me from Queensland, using a newfangled unattended recoding program on the PC and a very ordinary Sangean ATS-803a receiver using a random long wire Antenna - from memory this was on the 8 Mhz Marine band, and is the co-ordination of the search and rescue from the 28th Dec 1998 and covers from around 8:30PM till 10PM - The automated recorded stopped recording when the signal noise dropped below a certain level and thus some was lost. The recording goes for 30 mins, as that was the limit that was set to save disk space, but there is a lot of empty noise.

** WHY?? *** I have had this on a disk for 13 years now ( WOW!) and I had a serious disk crash, recently and almost lost everything..... I place this here on youtube so it is not lost to prosperity - The race is on again right now, so This was good timing! I present this recording as it was recorded, warts and all for your education

*** I dedicate this to those lost at sea

**** *HIGHLIGHTS* (Times are approximate)
4:11 "Rescue 253" 9A helicopter) locates a life-raft
6:00 "Air force Sydney" is looking for a position of a yacht " Solo Global Challenge"
6:50 "RTC Canberra" (Who is co-ordinating) has a "hot mic" and is explaining the situation to someone locally
8:35 "Rescue 253" has sighted 2 POB on the life-raft - RTC wants to know if they are from "Winston Churchill"
9:39 Another "hot mic" in Canberra
11:56 "Tiger75" (A Navy Helicopter, I think) has the survivors on board, but still awaiting info on who they are
13:04 13:44 confirmation that there are 2 survivors of the "Winston Churchill" from the life raft, but the tragic news that 3 others had "rolled out" of the raft and are lost (Historical note- these three were listed as drowned)
14:46 Discussion about where the survivors are to be taken by Tiger 75
15:20 Info of the survivors is passed though, along with the news that the life raft they were "in" had no bottom.
16:33 Rescue 253 Says it has heard a beacon & is proceeding to the location
20:00 Another aircraft has gone to the search site from Merimbula (A town in New South Wales)
25:38 Rescue 253 updates beacon location
26;30 Rescue 253 Locates a boat at the beacon site that has been dis-masted & is in serious trouble.

I think part of it is that it’s moving “back” (away from the fire) but also away from the camera so the perspective is skewed?

They aren't designed to move quickly. If you move fast, you will need to possibly brake fast, and with the boom extended you have inertia issues and all that. It would really lead to some quality OSHA related stuffs though if they did.

The building we rent space in has one. It takes like 2 minutes to move 20 feet. Scissor lifts, the platforms on wheels that go straight up and down, are even slower if you’re moving with the platform raised.

I help run trainings including active shooter trainings and honestly I can barely read that it just makes me so angry especially since I have a 1 year old daughter. Active shooter training has been pretty consistent since Columbine and almost nothing was done right. it's a complete failure from the top on down and every officer who stood outside listening to gunfire should crawl on their hands and knees begging forgiveness from the parents of the kids who were killed.

I can't believe people are talking about the F-89 Scorpion without bringing up the only time it ever saw combat: the Battle of Palmdale.

A rogue target drone flew off toward the town, so they scrambled two F-89s to shoot it down with their Mighty Mouse anti-air rocket pods. They fired 208 rockets. Every single one missed the drone and it crashed into some power lines along an unpaved desert road. The rockets...didn't.

Has any other operational, production weapons system failed as embarrassingly as those Mighty Mouse rockets?
