Was wondering the same thing, but other buildings too close is probably a good enough reason.

I wonder how long this process takes. Weeks? Months? It looks so painfully slow.

Nah, the act of Fuckling a truck is the reason why the CDL requires the driver to perform the 27 point inspection of the truck and trailer before driving the load. A true truckfuckler will perform acts of subtle sabotage, such that the poor driver is stuck broken down in Bat Country, suddenly veers off the road into oncoming traffic due to a broken steering wheel pinon, or has the entire load fall off the back at highway speeds.

The Hamburgler has nothing on the Truckfuckler.

Truckfuckling is a critical link in the chain of safety. Think of them like secret shoppers, but for vehicle maintainers and inspectors.

Phiz, the inspector at the factory just called us back, it's clean. Cleanest he's ever seen a parts plant. I hate to say it, but this might be the territory marking acts of an automodius fuckulatus majesticus, and you know how bad even a single Greater Crested Truckfuckler is for anyone who has to park a tractor inside their territory. God help us all if it's mating season already. No way am I gonna get the fuckulatus traps out of storage and try to capture one of those huge bastards, not after the last one cut my brake lines. We're gonna have to call in the feds to handle this, maybe those CVSA guys can send us a kill team?

quote:

A new report has detailed how a huge sinkhole swallowed up thousands of dollars worth of machinery on a WA mine site... “A working pit floor subsided into a backfilled stope, forming a 13-metre deep sinkhole,” the report said. An explosives truck was parked nearby on top of a blast pattern and slid into the sinkhole, followed by an integrated tool carrier.

quote:

a risk assessment in December 2017 noted the area of ground was a hazard, and recommended strict management protocols to treat it as a “void”.
However management assumed the stope was tight-filled, and did not follow void protocol as a result.

A decision was later made to treat the ground with normal operational practices

It's lucky that nobody was hurt, but what a bizarre event, nobody could possibly have predicted this :thunk:

I think the funny part about your post is that the cooling tower imploded in the post you quoted was for a nuclear reactor in South Carolina :v:.

In all seriousness, though, flying debris is a concern in places as is dust generation so likely they didn't have the room to set up a safe zone.

"Do it or you're fired"

There was a guy here that dropped a saw into the water off a barge and the foreman told him to go get it or find a new job. He was a decent swimmer so he jumped in. Current drug him under the barge and they found him a couple days later.

Let me rephrase, I wish I lived in a world where it wasn't totally obvious that of course the foreman didn't get in any trouble, asides from maybe a slap on the wrist from HR because now they have to go hire somebody else and do more paperwork.
