VKing posted:When I was in the army, a guy in my battalion accidentally put a metal jerry can full of JP8 across the terminals of the battery in the Bv-206 he was doing maintainance on (the batteries are under one of the rear seats, so he thought he was putting the can on the seat). The depot sprinkler system only had water, not foam. Bonus fun fact: The -206 is mostly made of glass fiber and plastic. I'm still in, and people still consistently weld wrenches in place between battery terminals and the chassis. This is despite being told ad infinitum to disconnect negative first. Naw. I'll just work on the closest one I can see/reach and WHOOPSIE melted a wrench! One of my absolute favourite incidents was a runaway generator, though. The solenoid controlling the fuel had been beaten/rusted to poo poo, and got stuck in place - which meant that the usual cutoffs weren't doing anything: the diesel was still getting fuel, so it wasn't gonna stop for something silly like the sigs guys pushing buttons and flipping switches. At this point, you have a few choices: A) Cut off the fuel - there's little valves for it between the tank and fuel pump, and between the pump and engine. B) Find the aforementioned linkage and tug it into place to shut off flow - gotta know where to look, though. C) Block the air intake - slap a clipboard across it and it'll die pretty quick. ... Or you can do what the sigs guys did and: D) drain the oil out of the engine. We got there fortunately just in time before the engine stopped permanently but it remains peak 'army solution' in my experience thus far. Closely followed by gunners pressure watching the touch-screens on their M777 howitzer computers. "But they're rain proof!" I think the vast majority of this poo poo is people wanting to 'work smart' and fast about things - because it looks bad to, you know, ask a technician or someone who knows what they are doing for help. Not like we literally exist at every unit an extension away if you're not sure! DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Feb 4, 2019 |

Construction on improving I-4 in Orlando temporarily shut down after a worker dies. A 20-foot length of 18-inch pipe fell on the guy. This is one of several accidents SGL has had in the past year on the project, from wrenches falling onto cars to a worker falling 30 or 40 feet off an overpass for no apparent reason last month.

Train derailment near Field B.C. (middle of the Rockies near the B.C.-Alberta border) three dead, second time a train has derailed here in a year or so. Train fell 60m off a bridge into a frozen river.  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/train-derailment-cp-railway-field-bc-tsb-1.5004622

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I'm sure they'll figure out how to stop trains from falling over there by the time the government buys all those train cars to run oil through there.

We use them (gold mine in Western Australia) to traverse the salt pans that make up half of our mine lease. Not sure if it's exactly the same but they're made by Hagglund, and look pretty similar to photos I've seen online.

The only other thing that might qualify that I remember was when we had to drive the Bvs into a ferry from a quay that didn't have a ferry terminal, so the engineers laid an assault bridge into it.

VKing posted:As an aside, the armoury had a framed photograph of a G3 that a previous recruit had decided to stress test by filling the barrel with powder from three or four blanks and firing it with another blank stuffed in the muzzle. Amazingly, the flash hider was strong enough to hold the front end of the barrel in one piece. Since the Ak 4 is blowback operated, the design specification can be generous enough to have some ridiculous design basis barrel blockage scenarios without rupturing the barrel, but still have a reasonably light barrel.

AG3, not Ak 4, but that's beside the point. Rereading what I wrote I see I missed the important detail: The barrel was pretty much obliterated and banana peeled into, IIRC, four parts. What I meant was the flash hider held it together at the muzzle, rather than the classic Looney Tunes barrel explosion.

Burt Sexual posted:But the treads are independent so you can throw one forward slow and the other back? Idk Yes. Tank treads are mechanically separate and with independent speed controls, it's the only way a purely tracked vehicle can steer. They also can rotate in place if you don't mind chewing up the ground and have so much braking power that you have to stop carefully or you'll end up eating the dashboard.
