That's really really sad. Kid in his 20s, working on his car, jack failed, kid dead.

On Thursday the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission issued a public warning about the risks of DIY car repairs.

It said 120 people had died since 2000 as a result of DIY car repairs, with many hundreds more injured

Apparently there was a significant accidental release of Cesium 137 at an off-site research lab for Harborview Medical Center in Seattle a month ago.

They've got it cleaned up now. I guess that's why there were trucks with the radiation trefoil moving north on I5 last month.

Maybe they needed a better tool than an unsecured angle grinder to cut the pins securing the source. The article characterizes their planning process in a way that it looks inadequate to cope with the hazard.

This wasn't the only oopsie recently. In this case, the ironic part is DOE has been retrieving these Cs-137 sources because they're in a dispersible salt form and so dangerous, with Co-60 in metallic form being the preferred source these days. In fact there's a giant spent fuel pool where most of these recalled sources are stored awaiting a permanent disposal site.

The more nasty incident that got some high-level people fired was this....

https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/radioactive-material-closes-middle-school-piketon/5fSqP5JFvEalQPhYiiJLsM/

Arguably a much less dangerous release, the fact that it was a school made the local community flip the gently caress out.

I recoiled when I finally noticed the electrical outlet.

other points:
draping the electrical cable over the gas pipe to where the cable is slightly pinching the plug (not sure how to explain what I mean with that)
zip-tie the electric and the gas together right next to the fire suppression system instead of giving it space
and while I'm talking about space for the fire suppression system that all is way too close together.

Yeah, probably.

I'm guessing they were just loading it on to a deck trailer because there is no way that would drive down the road without breaking something/someone.

I'm just going to assume that there's a warning buzzer in the cab* that warns "DO NOT DRIVE WHILE WHEEL DOLLIE IS IN LOWERED POSITION" to complete the OSHA effect of warning buzzers going off and the operator thinking "I'm only going 5 miles, NBD"


*my current truck has a buzzer when I deflate the rear air bags to lower the 5th wheel to get under a trailer. It's nice and reminds me to re-inflate the airbags before travelling. I had a truck without a buzzer, went over a big highway bump and destroyed the plastic part that attaches to a metal rod control arm that controls the airbags, and drove 15 miles going "why the hell is the truck handling weird?" Lesson learned.

The number of times these guys do something stupid (or start wondering aloud if they just did something potentially lethal because they don't know how any chemicals actually react) is terrifying. I love it.

What would be the fumes they breathed in from the mixing process?

One of these dudes just nearly cut his thumb off in a video that should be shown in its entirety in a safety course as an example of how not to use any cutting implement. Then the other guy removes his stitches in a half-finished house, all while the text on screen mocks them for doing all of these things. I think "being unsafe while acknowledging you are and laughing about it" is now just a marketing strategy on youtube for these kinds of channels.

This reminds me of a time I visited my uncle at his new house in the boonies of NC. He was really in to HAM radio and had built this huge ring antenna around his new place and I was helping him run the cabling where it would go to the TX inside the house. For some reason he'd rigged the cabling directly above his propane tanks so it was just barely above the valves (and for some reason the tanks were right next to the house).

Even as a dumbass 18 year old kid, I was like "this is probably not a good idea". He seemed to think it was fine so I ended up leaving a little early to head home. He ended up selling that place after a couple of years--surprisingly it never burned down despite a bunch of other fun OSHA poo poo.

They hurt themselves enough through doing things they know nothing about that they have an injury counter that has to get rolled back every 8 days or so.

To be fair, they never discuss the levels found in the school. Air monitors are extremely sensitive, finding the barest traces of contamination. Uranium and Neptunium in particular are long lived isotopes so they actually are not very radioactive; the main hazard would be heavy metal toxicity. Also considering the latency period for cancer, it would be unlikely to see low level exposure to cause childhood cancers. More likely, contamination from operating the plant for decades and other local industrial contaminants are more likely causes.

I think you're thinking of the PYF schadenfreude thread, IIRC this thread never had a "no snuff" rule due to the subject matter, but I think it'd probably be a good idea to have severe or graphic injury/death warnings going forward.

Parents with mental disorders collecting air monitor readings in the vicinity of schools is a state pastime in Colorado. The news stations loving love a good story about "this school within 50 miles of an EPA remediation site has measurable amounts of radiation in its air!" Same deal for "cancer clusters."
