lol at driving a semi-trailer through Queens.

The neighborhood I grew up in queens had a largely industrial area about a half mile down the road. It was a one way street, so the semis would turn down the road in the only direction they were allowed to and go straight down, passing intersection after intersection of corners that were impossible to turn on. Eventually they reached my block where the road just ended, and they had no choice but to turn anyway.

Stuck semis are still a daily occurrence, along with frequent downed cable lines and gas main breaks because while technically it's illegal for a semi to be on that road, they literally don't have a choice. It got so bad that the city re-routed the gas mains under the sidewalk instead of the street.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

Honestly probably the safest ending for that guy if he survived the fall, at least now he's out cold for a while and won't wander into traffic.

Now imagine if there had been safety tape and warning cones around the hole, he wouldn't have fallen in and a car would have run him over!

In this case it's a real world example of "I can tell by the pixels"



Look for the differences in the JPEG artifacting around the areas the wires were 'shopped out of. As for why a crane is setting a truck on the wires, I have no idea. All the articles I can find about it are in Vietnamese.

How do you know the crane is setting the truck on the wires? It's probably removing it from the wires!

That site says that the truck crashed in to a rice field and got stuck, and is being lifted out between two different sets of wires. It is not actually on any of the wires, it just looks that way from the perspective in the photos.

What's with this image then? It's clear shop, but I don't get how that article uses both shopped and not shopped image.

Yeah, the wires aren't sagging like they have any weight on them.

He would have still fallen in, but then been strangled by the "safety" tape wrapped around him and then in a double whammy; knocked out by the cones falling in on him.

Sorry to ruin it but there is no legal way to operate a vehicle at that height without *both* a licensed high-altitude driver AND a certified spotter. This is a warning, next time is a $400 fine though.

The Bradley is pretty OSHA in itself. Someone published a book years ago called The Pentagon Wars about the stupid poo poo they got up to during development, like doing survivability testing with water-filled fuel tanks and intentionally weak explosives. Even got made into a movie.

It's a bit like the F35 in that it's three amazing vehicles in one. A tank with aluminium armour, a troop transport that moves 6 people at a time, and a scout 10 feet tall with a top speed of 35 mph.

The Pentagon Wars needs to be a permanent sticky on each page as the posterboy for what happens when too many people with different mindsets get involved in a specific task. And Yes the Sequel is going to be about the F35

There was a really good effortpost in the milhist thread breaking down how The Pentagon Wars was actually full of poo poo and not close to reality.
