Pretty cool of Nestle to make billions off bottled water and pump out of an aquifer right next to Flint for the last few years!

Evart is nowhere near Flint but it is indeed complete bullshit that the state allows them to do this.

The Elephant Toothpaste reaction produces oxygen. It's floating because it's hot. It will settle back down as it cools.

Here's an OSHA quickie story.

The mines my dad worked in were some of the deepest in North America. We're talking 7000' at 9 shaft. It all looks pretty old school, outer and inner doors operated by hand and a full time shaft operator on each shift.

My dad never knew the old operator, but he got to see the aftermath of his last day.

Nobody knows what the guy was thinking, his mind was probably just wandering. He opened the outer shaft gate, stepped in to the shaft like the car was there, people swear he floated there for a split second before saying 'oh poo poo' with the same tone of voice as someone who just realized they'd locked the keys in their car, and then plummeted thousands of feet to his death.

The aftermath was there was still scuffs on the shaft from where he bounced back and forth on his way down.

Do not get complacent and let your mind wander on the job. Falling into a routine to the point where you kinda do it on autopilot will eventually get you killed.

This is loving terrifying. You can see the drill marks on the hole, it's not lined or shored, so that's a collapse hazard. Also he's totally relying on friction from his arms/legs/back for braking , so if he messes up, something gets caught, or the friction makes him overheat, he falls the entire rest of the way down. Or he could get a leg wedged so tight he is unable to move and he ends up unrecoverably trapped. There's not going to be any ventilation in that hole, his exhalations are going to build up around him and asphyxiate him in short order, provided there is breathable air down there in the first place. He's not wearing a harness, so even IF they got a rope or something down there to him, it's on him improvising a sling or tying a knot or something, while breathing highly questionable air. Even if there was a full crane just out of frame ready to swing its boom over and lower a hook to him, that dude is in bad shape.

I think this video is one of the clearest manifestations of the disconnect between what your mammal brain might think: "Hey this hole is big enough no problem, and I can slow myself down like this!" and an educated reality of: "There are like 5 immediately fatal things that will start working against you the moment you enter that hole". Like it looks safe-ish and even kind of fun, but it's actually insanely dangerous even if you were planning to immediately pull them back out.

If they had drilled into a bunker that definitely makes it worse because it's 100% a confined space hazard, an air quality hazard, and very likely a UXO hazard.

Edit to correct spelling but "Confused Space Hazard" would be a good user name.

The good thing, judging by the dirt on him when he gets in, is that he's done this at least once already.
