wouldn't it be less expensive if they had hit the hangar walls instead of the other aircraft

solarNativity posted:wouldn't it be less expensive if they had hit the hangar walls instead of the other aircraft Not necessarily. Hangar walls tend to be made out of much stronger stuff bolted to the ground. The collision is very inelastic and very bad for the plane. Coincidentally, that's what I've been dealing with this week.

Yep but in that situation the crew may also have been going from one "oh poo poo" situation to another, rather than consciously choosing the lesser disaster.

I've never heard about this but with Bhopal why wouldn't it surprise you that the most toxic waste product of agent orange was bidded off as 'waste oil' and used to treat unpaved roads in the USA - causing severe illness and many deaths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6kshs2ZQcQ "The EPA recommended that Times Beach be abandoned. Due to the constant risk of flooding and the possible spread of contamination, it was further recommended that the entire town and it's soil be incinerated."  As far as my personal helljob, I'm looking for an out. Until then, well... it's bad! The PM supervisor says he has never seen this company under worst management. The new and very handsome, well-dressed Peruvian company directors (two!.. because nepotism) have decreed that we stop removing units from service because it's impacting operations. This played out in a pretty funny way: everything that leaks just gets worse. It needs to be fixed. We need to remove it from service and fix it. So we stopped removing units for small leaks and those leaks became worse (also it's been raining a lot, conveniently.) So operations got to the point that they decided the unit was unusable because it's leaking jet fuel all over the place so much that even they won't use it (and operations does not give a gently caress about safety or anything other than, well, operations.) So those units became $800k shuttles for running fuel sheets and transporting fuelers. And that's just how it's been - fueling units used as shuttles - because as much as operations complains they've been running fat with nearly twice what they need. The fine for a fuel spill is $13,000. There's a cute fire marshal girl I've been winking at the past 3 days (that's 3 days with incidents requiring a response from airfield safety mind you, hahahaha.) But how exactly does one say "fine me harder baby"

Then look around conspiratorially, put your hand next to your mouth and whisper "with my penis", just so everyone is clear on the innuendo. Or the inherendo, in this case, HAW HAW!

Yup! For a while, hybrid systems for race cars used them. They're all Li-Ion now these days, but the transition was flywheel -> supercaps -> batteries. e: For bit more on-topic bit, if the electrical system of a F1 car goes haywire, the driver has to get out, not touch the ground, and jump off the car so he doesn't accidentally put himself between the now electrical hot car (as it is carbon fiber and does conduct) and the ground. Happened in Mexico a couple seasons ago to Nico Hulkenberg. e2: then the marshals have to use an insulated pole to hit the electric system shutoff switch

My dad is obsessed with the concept of powering cars with super fast flywheels. It will be super great when a car crashes and that flywheel binds up and wants to get rid of its energy.

Happened in Mexico a couple seasons ago to Nico Hulkenberg. Being that the car's electrical system does not have any potential relative to the Earth, it seems like the bigger hazard is trying to move around and jump out without contacting two parts of the vehicle that are now unintentionally at a different potential because of the failure. If the car was on fire, of course you gotta get the hell out but if it was just throwing some kind of electrical failure warning I'd think you should wait for the safety crew to throw the external switch before moving.

They just tell the driver to jump clear of the car. The track workers have rubber gloves to protect themselves.

iospace posted:Yup! For a while, hybrid systems for race cars used them. They're all Li-Ion now these days, but the transition was flywheel -> supercaps -> batteries. That’s not strictly accurate. For a time, Audi ran flywheels but at the same time Toyota was using supercaps and Porsche (and others, but not in WEC) were using lithium-ion. Lithium-ion won the battle of ideas and Audi and Toyota both dropped their systems in favor of batteries. Then Audi withdrew and then so did Porsche. F1 cars never used anything other than Li-ion, only one other race car ever used a flywheel (a 911 GT3 one year at the N24). There was an idea to use it in a US car to race at Le Mans in the early 2000s that’s rumored to have killed someone when the flywheel let go on a dyno but afaik that was never confirmed.
