That seems like the worst time to try a hit and run.

Eagerly awaiting a statement from Uber explaining how driving through gas pumps and setting them on fire is not consistent with the high standards they expect of their independently contracted 100% not employee drivers, and that they are refunding the passengers $10 fair in full.

Lucky for me I don't know much about coroners, but I thought they investigated actual - or at least presumed - deaths, not just "could have happened" deaths? Is there no OHSA-like entity there to investigate this?

"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise." This was written in 1964 and remains painfully true to this day (arguably more so now than then).

Very true, in fact our leader shortly after that was written paid so little attention to the world around him that he was swept out to sea in a riptide and drowned.

At least he got a swimming pool named after him. That's more than can be said about the current lot of leaders. What I'm saying is go and drown yourself Tony. Become an hero.

Why do they need to place the dirt in a safe container? Presumably the gas would have burned off already? If not, why not just finish the job and then put the dirt literally anywhere?

If not, why not just finish the job and then put the dirt literally anywhere? The dirt is now probably considered contaminated, and if you just dump it anywhere, it might run off contaminants to underground water deposits or to rivers.

Ah, so the combustion products are different than what comes out of a (properly functioning) engine? That makes sense.

Properly functioning engines have catalytic convertors and even so, were you to saturate a field with exhaust gases and let it ferment a bit, then stick a bunch of kids exercising on top of it, it wouldn't be great for them either.

My company just had to deal with a 14-ft trailer hitting an 11-ft bridge. A significant portion of the money that this will cost us we're going to a structural engineer to ensure the bridge doesn't need to be rebuilt. Most carriers have one of these on speed dial in case this happens. This wasn't the biggest news of the day however, since at the same time this was happening another driver had been disabled in the road and was rear-ended by another trucker who died at the scene. Both we and the other carrier are now contracting a third-party agency to pull the telemetry from both trucks prior to the inevitable lawsuit.

Grundulum posted:Ah, so the combustion products are different than what comes out of a (properly functioning) engine? That makes sense. Yep. Ever seen a burning car? It's a huge yellow-orange flame and a ton of black smoke, because just burning gasoline in air with no compression leads to very incomplete combustion. However, you don't even have to light it on fire to cause a problem; just pouring the gasoline into the dirt is enough to make it too contaminated for use (legally). That's why old out-of-business gas stations just sit there for years instead of being converted into something else. The ground at the site is full of gasoline from fuel spills and leaking storage tanks, and the new owners of the land would have to take all of the dirt they dug up from construction and ship it to a hazardous waste site for treatment, making re-development hideously expensive. It even applies on a very small scale. Some family friends of ours had an oil-burning furnace, and one of the fittings broke and dumped about 10 gallons of fuel (diesel) into their basement. They called a contractor to clean it up, and whooooops turns out that's now a hazardous waste site and remediation means digging out the area under the furnace to a depth of six feet and sending the dirt away for incineration. In the end it cost them nearly twenty thousand dollars and it's obviously a super sore point because they could have also dealt with it for a hundred bucks of kitty litter and sawdust.

Ouch. My dad recently had to replace all four 1000L oil tanks in his house with plastic ones. They, and all associated piping, sit in a large concrete pool which got a plastic liner installed this time around. I can see why now.
