I think with the amount of batteries a WWII sub required they were below pretty much everything on the ship. I will certainly grant that "batteries come in contact with sea water" is a situation that should be planned for in a ship surrounded by sea water and with a high likelihood of taking battle damage.

luxury handset posted:there's really not much you can do about it, submarines are inherently OSHA as hell We sank 4 u-boats off of NC, and traded ~400 ships and thousands of crew to do so. Of those, 3 lie close enough to the surface to be reached by divers; on one of them, divers actually got into the sub and too the Enigma machine. It now sits at the Graveyard of the Atlantic museum, but that dive manages to present every type of “no loving way” criteria diving has. Deep? Check (~110ft). Gas narcosis is likely at this depth, even with a higher-grade nitrox mix. O2 and N2 are narcotic along the same cellular pathways, so changing the percentages doesn’t have a terribly big effect on that aspect of this hell-dive. High current? Check. The area is notorious for that, and it also being semi-unpredictable. You don’t get a name like Graveyard of the Atlantic because it’s a happy fun place to be on the water. Low vis? Check. That’s related to high current above, plus a sandy bottom (really an issue across all of NC diving). Wreck penetration? Check. All subs are cramped as gently caress to be in without 60lbs of dive gear on, even if you’re floating through instead of walking. Wreck at odd angle? Check. That wreck lists about 45 degrees, so when you get inside your brain will be the referee in a fight between your visual cues and your ears telling you when you’re level; the visual cues will also change once you turn around. Wrecks at any angle other than straight up are deceptively deadly to divers. Was the high side on your left or right as you went in? Which way are the bubbles going, and why is it different than what I thought was “up”? I hear seeing a staircase in any orientation other than the one it was built as is a gigantic brain-bender, especially if you’re already deep (no time to wonder, based on gas consumption and no deco limits) and half-narc’ed.

He orients the cutting tool at 9 o'clock (from his perspective), places the cutting head as close as he can get to one edge, holds the suction cup in place, swings the cutter 90 degrees to 6 o'clock, and adjusts it along the 6-12 axis so the head hits the edge there too. He's effectively measuring the distance from the edge to the center in two perpendicular axes, so as long as the glass is square and he's pretty good about hitting 90 degrees of rotation, that maneuver will locate the center every time.

It was posted in the train thread I think. Long story short, the electric brakes automatically turn off after an hour to save power. But that doesn't trigger the manual brakes.

Yeah, at this point you could point out that every savings over every train over their entire lifetimes would have been orders of magnitude less than the $300million that the accident cost.

At about 0502, the driver of the empty ore train (M02727) stopped at Garden South, contacted Hedland control advising that the Redmont gang had mistakenly applied handbrakes to his train rather than to train M02712.
