Wouldn't it be theoretically possible to hydrolock it by putting the firehose down the intake and letting rip? Engine's fuckled anyway, why not save the rest of the poo poo from burning down?

Those engines are running at or above their maximum safe operating speed while actively draining the lubricating (and cooling!) oil that makes it safe, there's a substantial risk of them undergoing rapid unplanned disassembly and launching shrapnel all around. Far better to stay away and put out any lingering fires after vs potentially getting maimed by a piston the size of a small beer keg, and as heavy as a large one, flying at you at 100mph.

Just how do you develop that kind of ice in the first place? Thick snow on roof and poor thermal insulation so the snow is slowly melting from the bottom and then freezes is my only guess.

This is some proper deer-in-the-headlights type of poo poo, especially in the second video.

You could go A HINT to the right and be fine, you could go left and be fine, and you could even back the gently caress up WITH EASE and be fine, but nope. Just pump your brakes several times while jerking the wheel, train goes away by itself.

Or maybe the Sun can melt top layer or hit part of the roof so by the time it makes its way down it freezes again. Then it’s sub zero for days or weeks so that huge icicle forms

There are a few books documenting the Shackleton expedition in the Antarctic, I believe it was Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage that I read in high school. It was really hard to put down.

The Merchant Marine’s list of people who earned their Distinguished Service Cross could be a decent start.

http://www.usmm.org/heroes.html

Notable ships/people that I’m aware of:

Edwin F Cheney, quartermaster of the John D. Gill. I’ve gone diving on this wreck a few times, being only 25 miles offshore from Wilmington, NC. She was an oil talker that had the bad fortune of catching a nazi torpedo in the oil tanks, which ignited when a crewman threw a life ring into the water. These had self-igniting flares on them, and when the oily saltwater hit the flare, the apocalyptic inferno started and spread to the ship. Several explosions later, half the lifeboats were destroyed, the ship was broken in half, capsized, and sinking. She didn’t lose power until after the engine room flooded, and as she capsized one of the lifeboats dumped its survivors into the water ahead of the still-turning props. Only about half the crew survived, most of those thanks to the efforts of Mr Cheney.

The crew of the SS Stephen Hopkins, a Liberty-class cargo ship that got in a scrap with a nazi raider (the Stier, I think). They got a lucky shot on the engine room and forced the nazi vessel to scuttle, but only because people kept climbing up to man the 4-inch gun after the previous crews got shot off of it.

The entire Liberty class has to have had some SERIOUS OSHA.txt going on. They’re the most mass-produced ship in history (~2700 ships of this class built) and one holds the record for fastest ship assembly. Keel laid to sea trials finished within about a week’s time. They were 5 pre-fab sections that were essentially welded to the keel and each other before being sent out to haul cargo, and their expected life at sea was only 5 years. A few are still afloat, a ton ended up as artificial reefs (the Alexander Ramsey and Theodore Thompson sit near Wilmington and Morehead City, NC, respectively), and a ton more were just scrapped. There are aerial pics from Wilmington of hundreds of these vessels lined up along the Cape Fear River waiting to be broken up. Each one was ~440ft long, and that was a bunch of pre-nuclear testing steel which is apparently hilariously valuable now.

If you want a map, NatGeo did a map of the NC coast called “The Ghost Fleet of the Atlantic” in 3 sections. The Outer Banks, Cape Lookout, and Cape Fear all have their own part, but the depressing reality of over 5,200 shipwrecks offshore here meant they could only put down a fraction of them on the map before the words would be completely illegible.

Don't wait a week for a future problem to become a huge-rear end current problem. Like with removing snow from roofs; you do it before there's too much snow.

The Russians use suppressed carbines, like the Vintorez VSS, to shoot ice build-up from the eaves of buildings.

They make these impact cannons for mining operations where you can blast a rock hanging down from the ceiling that didn't come down with a previous static blast. That's what I'd be using.

I mean, I assume we're in a country where you can just buy that poo poo without having to worry too much about regulations and licensing.

But look at it from the corporate management perspective: the last 49 times he hit the wall with a hammer, nothing bad happened. Therefore there's no reason to be concerned about hit number 50.
