To be fair, the guy goes down to a maximum of something like 20 feet for a maximum of 10 minutes and mostly just motors around to test out the idea. He also admits that this is an absolutely stupid thing to trust your life to, and is just doing it for fun and to learn about how the devices work.

Video of the crane demolition at the Hard Rock Hotel in N.O.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJi8saASdoE And in slow motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWqkbxvxabU Seems like a lot of explosives, but my only experience in demo work is stuffing firecrackers into plastic models of ships and planes.

Lote posted:$10 bux says they take out the rest of the building and/or the Sanger theater across the street. I used to live a block away. Well, they didn't do either of those things yet but it does look like they made a bad situation worse. So there's still hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr2o802gm14&t=10412s

I don't know much about building imploding, let alone crane imploding, but it looks like at least one of those cranes didn't do what they were hoping it would do. THe one that fell all the way to the ground

PinheadSlim posted:This reads a lot like the rants my friend in the Norwegian army would send me, except add more complaining about HK416s just falling apart in the frozen environment. loving 416s fall apart in all conditions. gently caress driving anything diesel in a: the mountains and b: the winter. Rescue trucks routinely careen off of cliffs here, and getting diesel anything to start needs a gas heater under the hood at minus 40. What they don't tell you about those temps is that windchill will just kill you, and you need face cover. The air will hurt to breathe, your uncovered skin will hurt, then get hurt. You literally freeze dry. Sometimes I really hate the mountains.

Powershift posted:Also, you're just jealous because you're not driving on cotton candy. Am I right that your life consists of waking up very early in the middle of nowhere, being given a very heavy trailer full of water (the stuff you can get anywhere), then driving all day to the point of collapse to deliver it to a different middle of nowhere late at night, then waking the next day and doing the same thing again? And that you do it somewhere that has only three seasons: hot, burning sun that turns the sandy roads into soft powder; cold, wet rain that turns the roads into a mudbath and diesel-freezing snow and sleet? I ask because there's a good chance that isn't a drill-hole in your finger - it may be an eagle that's trying to peck out your liver and got the wrong bodypart.

It was my job, i did it for the drive, and saw a whole bunch of really amazing places, some down roads that would be dangerous as hell in a regular vehicle. The interesting challenges were a bonus. also, it has been like 20 degrees celcius for like 6 months now(apart from a few blizzards) and i love it. Also, you'd be surprised where you are and aren't allowed to get water. Around here you're not allowed selling water, but you're allowed selling access to it, by the cubic liter, even. It is funny that you make it sound so menial though, because most of what i used to do has since been replaced by pumps and hoses. but still, you see "wake up day after day driving back and forth. ", I see "go to sleep 50kms from a man made light source after staring at the sky for a while. wake up and drive through some beautiful areas all day, seeing amazing sunrises and sunsets. and get views only a few hundred or a few thousand have seen before. I mean   Kind of ironic being able to enjoy nature by working a job that destroys it though. Main reason I'll never go back. I might do highway for a few years to see more of Canada if i can. Unfortunately, there's a massive personal liability in trucking that isn't reflected in the wage, it's a horrible risk-to-reward proposition. Anyways, back to the matter at hand.  e:  how the hell?

The interesting challenges were a bonus. I'm busting your balls cause you've posted an awful lot of photos of mudswamps and tales of testicle-freezing weather and not much of the romantic joys of being on the road which I thought was something of a myth. So, 11foot8 becomes 12foot4? That will reduce our fun. Nevermind, the UK can fill that void with 7footnothing:
