It's pretty OSHA by default, since many of the contestants are amateur and there are plenty of power tools and open flames involved.

Now imagine the same system but in a plane that's little more than two engines four sizes too big taped with tinfoil to a cockpit and some wings The MiG-31 is fun.

That is, the ground crews would drink the alcohol from the brakes of your gottagofast jet. I'd guess this crash was a combination of an unusually hard landing and old airframe. A lot of old airframes have been crashing lately in Russia.

Fancy_Breakfast posted:This is the kind of job that looks awesome but probably is terrible. It's apparently rated second most stressful job. ATC it's first spot. And yeah, constantly on phone and radio all shift, I was the only one in the training that got 100% on the Comms course (being ex-army helped with that). The thing that really pissed me off is that Everything I do on the computer I have to also track manually on the sheet. The desk will be full of eraser bits after 8 hours. I was controlling mainly coal trains so not a lot of stops at 'stations' but a lot of trying to manage a single line with two-way traffic and then the track monkeys wanting to work the line JUST as I've laid a plan. As for how many trains - probably 15 a day over a 500KM radius. So not anything like commuter trains so time to plan poo poo out a bit, but constantly checking if a certain train can actually fit into a cutout/station to do a pass was stressful as they are so loving long. But sometimes the managers would roll out something classic to gently caress with the freight route for PR reasons. This day I was lucky and got to ride it instead of making it fit into the schedule:  And yes, we did troll a lot of new people saying this was the steering wheel:

Has anyone made a streetcar with a steering wheel/yoke? I've seen tracks for a horse-drawn tramway which didn't have mechanical switches/points, I can only assume they got the horse to pull it to the side they wanted to take.

I'm the instinctive but ineffective wrenching of the wheel to the right, followed by the acceptance of fate and return of wheel to center immediately before hitting the wall.

It gets better/worse. It misses his next train to toronto, sits in a bush overnight after accidentally getting on a train going into a train yard and being trapped in there for awhile and being spotted. He then catches another train to get out of there, which goes the wrong way (to detroit) and he has to jump off it in the middle of the night at speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYCAMfbmJ-0&t=235s (4mins in)

There was actually one (likely posted ITT, but awhile back and likely in coordination with news on someone doing trainhopping vids literally like this dying under unstated-but-pretty-obvious circumstances) where it was just someone trainhopping with a gopro, no voiceover, no annotations beyond occasional time-and-date, that were pretty cool.

Shut up Meg posted:Question relating to the spoiler: According to the vid, he had a warrant out for his arrest, but the border people were like "eh, this is like not even worth calling out to them for and we're not technically in canada yet, so if you sign this saying "actually I didn't feel like coming into the country" we can just put you on a plane back and the warrant will expire after a decade or so". I don't get the feeling he was in the mindset to ask about further details but I'd think it'd just end up with him getting a fine and deported and banned anyways, sooo

Fancy_Breakfast posted:Trains continue to be OSHA. Quoting from way back (finally remembered to!) but GE locomotives have a reputation for weak turbo construction... which eventually will break, eat themselves, and start a nice big fire like that. Also the fuel line routing in GEs (don't hold me to this one) is relatively poor compared to EMD's, which leads to more incidents like this. That said, apparently they have fixed most of their issues, but they're still called toasters

Even if true it doesn't explain in anyway why their vector didn't change at all for touch down. It didn't matter what the landing gear was doing, they flew into the ground.

Mr. Apollo posted:It looks like the main gear hadn't fully extended and locked into position when it made contact with the ground. You can see they partially retracted when the main part of the fuselage pitches upward. Wouldn't that make it even more likely to be the point of failure than the fuselage?

She has to be reminded to get back in it and fly off. Also, Mr. Bull and his crew build a house. Peppa asks if it will be done later in the day, he says something like "Oh no, houses take a long time to build! It will be done... tomorrow." What kind of corners did he cut to get a colonial with basement finished in a single day?

Maybe the thread has already covered this, but let me share my favorite roadside drink: sugar cane juice. It's gross as gently caress so I don't actually drink it, but the machines that they use to make it are always fascinatingly unsafe. New machines come with covers that the pros remove to facilitate in-operation jam clearing. After a few years the machines are reduced to 100% pure crushing mechanism, be it sugar cane or limbs. Here's some videos: Use a big flywheel to ensure you can keep crushing but under no circumstances cover that thing up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcYbUr9LLXg Got a washing machine motor and some loose belts? Crush some cane but don't forget to save time by prying stuck fibres out while it's running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC_PaC03J4E Oh poor little baby wants it safe? No problem we'll cover those gears up. Try and get your hands stuck on this fine piece of Brazilian engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFSQX9_Mx2o
