Its pretty standard even for confined space rescue, that if you're the look out and someone in there is in distress, you're not to go in there, in spite of your (probable) instinct to rush in and help. You'll probably end up dead too.

poo poo lagoons aren't confined spaces. There's just so much poison gas that it will kill you anyway.

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

Literally that's standard practice. Our safety is more important then the patients, because we could be the patient then and cost more people their lives if we lemming into a chemical spill. A video played to all emergency response is of a cop that went into an ammonia cloud gassing off a crashed truck that he didn't see the placard on. He went to rescue the driver who was passed out on the ground and within 1 minute was on the ground gasping and dead in 3.

That's why ems stages in an area till they know what's they are treating for chemical exposures. We can't save someone if we will end up needing saved getting to you

Just like how you never try and rescue someone that falls in the pig poo poo lagoons. You will die. They are already dead

In EMS I use the rule of thumb for industrial incidents.
Reach out your thumb towards the fire/chemicals. If it's larger than my thumb then we too close. Hold and wait for fire service.

No poo poo. My uncle was a volunteer fire-fighter for a number of years in a rural area, he said the same regarding propane tanks.

Then again, this is the same man that almost burnt his own house down by setting fire to the building across the road during a FD training exercise.

I sucked a dick for bus fare and then I walked home.

Approach from uphill and upwind. Use to binoculars to locate the first responding police officer (aka "the blue canary" ) by his cruiser.

1) Cop is down and car is not running- toxic environment that may affect apparatus
2) Cop is down, car is running- toxic environment
3) Cop is walking around - not immediately life threatening but probably still bad
4) Cop has lit road flares by wreck and has not exploded - fairly stable toxic environment

Pig poo poo lagoon deaths depress me cause they always follow the same pattern:

Some poor sod slips over during Another Day At The Pig poo poo Factory and dies in poo poo.

Then some brave coworker willingly dives into poo poo to save him and also dies.

Then a third worker sees them both and still is brave enough to dive into what is clearly a very dangerous place and then also dies in poo poo.

It just seems so unfair to these brave and unselfish people that they work in poo poo and die in poo poo while stock brokers get to die in coke-fuelled porsche crashes.

In North Carolina there's a cottage eco journalist industry of private pilots willing to fly reporters into the airspace of the copious hog farms in order to document the scope of their environmental infractions.

This is necessary because big ag has lobbied state government to criminalize any manner of reporting that reveals the severely harmful effects of factory hog farming (it's egregiously detrimental to the local ecosystems and quality of life of every living organism downwind from the pig poo poo lagoon fountains (yes fountains of pig poo poo))

It's annoying that manure lagoons are still an issue when we have the means to make them relatively safe and produce Methane at the same time that can be used to provide power at best, or safely flared off at worst.

I still remember the one where a guy got sprayed with liquid phosgene and went to the hospital to be told "yeah you are gonna die in like 2 days pal."

Yeah, I just went looking for this one. It is goddamn ridiculous how loving addictive the USCSB YouTube channel is. I moved on from that one to one about iron dust fires at the Hoeganaes Corp in Gallatin, TX. I’ll probably just be scrolling through these things the rest of the night.

One of the most horrifying ones to me involved a propane tank change-out at a gas station/restaurant in (I think) WVa, where propane filled the store for like half an hour before the place blew up. Been a while since I saw that one so my memory of it is fuzzy, but the breakdown in the safety chain is some absolute what-the-gently caress.

Edit: Yeah, I was right. Ghent, WV.

But seriously OSHA: I spent many months, during multiple years, healing from falls before I found out you can put carbide studs on bicycle tires. Holy poo poo they're expensive! But "not having cracked ribs for 6 months" is worth the money!

I don't know if y'all have ever cracked ribs but it's a whole helluva lot bigger injury than you think. There's literally *nothing* a doctor can do for you. It's not like the fluff books I read. It's just several months of pain. The only thing a doctor can do is *maybe* lower the pain, and probably make it last longer.

$120-200+ is cheap for a set for a set a bicycle tires in comparison.

What's going on at the far back corner of the bus? Looking under the bus at the start it seems like there's something there, almost like it's being pushed by a reversing van, but there's nothing that size behind it at the end.

Broken/bruised ribs are a special kind of hell. It isn’t the worst pain but it’s there every time you lie down to sleep, cough, laugh, breathe or use any of your abdomen muscles (pretty much every movement).

The OSHA part is that you have to be doped up on painkillers because going for extended periods without coughing or only drawing shallow breaths leads to fluid buildup in the lungs and pneumonia.

No? Ok. There's a lot of it in stores here in Sweden and seemingly everywhere online. If you have super special tire dimensions perhaps it's expensive, idk.
