Probably how rattled you were afterwards; based on some of his other stories, a person yelling “DUCK!!” led everyone to reflexively diving under the desks and waiting for a whoosh-boom. Presumably something gnarly had escaped the fume hood and was expanding rapidly, before looking for humans to cause every kind of cancer in.

This reminded me of a book I read in college about the father of chemical warfare Fritz Haber, a German Jew during WWI. He essentially grabbed the list that every chemist in training was given of "don't make this, it will kill you" and started testing them one by one. The second half of his life is a bit of a downer as being Jewish counted more with the nazis than his huge contributions to the German war effort. The lovely icing on the cake is when they start using his chemicals to commit the Holocaust. I am not sure if chemical weapons research is more OSHA or anti-OSHA. https://www.amazon.com/Master-Mind-Laureate-Launched-Chemical/dp/0060562722

The Alchemy of Air is another decent look at Haber and industrial nitrogen fixation/production.

To be fair, I thank their shoddy excuse for integrity, cause I will not go on an elevator again in my life. Same with escalators. I'll still use a paternoster, though.

Pretty sure the elevator in my building is going to kill me someday, which is why I keep using it.  The other day I was doing laundry and had to go up one floor to get to the laundry room. I got on at the second floor, hit the button for 3, noted that something felt "off" and when the doors opened I was on floor 1. Like maybe someone could have hit the call button at the same time I hit the button for floor 3, but there was nobody there and shouldn't it have gone to 3 first anyway? I tried again and got as far as floor 2 (where I started) and decided gently caress it, let's take the stairs. There was another time, where I was stuck in the elevator with someone who had no idea how the gently caress to operate one. I told her that this thing was a piece of poo poo and you had to hold down the button for your floor, but since I was getting off before her, she should wait until after my floor to hit the button for hers. So she stood there and hit all of the goddamn buttons, repeatedly, trying to figure out what the gently caress. It felt like we were in there for an eternity as it went up and down, and eventually opened on the first floor again. I pretty much had to hold her back to keep her from touching anything and drop her off on her floor before going back down to mine because she was just that goddamn dumb.

Watch a guy die so we get some sweet clicks! God drat. I found it quite instructive. Everyone knows you're not supposed to try and climb out of a stuck/misaligned elevator, so you'd naturally wonder why this guy chose to. And the answer is he didn't. He was walking out and it suddenly started moving and before he had time to think about what to do he was dead. I understand the dangers of faulty/mismanaged elevators more now than I did before.

It would be cool if there was a separate "post people dying" thread for the death and then this, the OSHA thread could be used for funny people messing up on the job

After videos of poo poo like this started to appear on the internet years ago, I completely stopped getting on any type of amusement ride period. Irrational? Probably... but damnit this is one thing I feel like I am allowed to be irrational about.

I'll ride something in a permanent amusement park. But if it's a travelling fair, then no way. Rickety deathtraps "maintained" by itinerant methamphetamine enthusiasts.
