A wind turbine went haywire here in Denmark yesterday, and they stopped it by firing rockets with ropes attached at it which then got tangled up in the machinery and slowed it down (full vid in the link)

It's funny how over time of seeing wildly unsafe things how even though this would absolutely 100% not be up to OSHA spec I'm like honestly it looks fine. Those barrels are strong, it's securely attached, he's not standing on the thing he's demolishing (!), the mounting has good control over height and orientation (he's not flapping around at the end of a cable, for example). There's even an extra hoop up higher on his chest, so his center of gravity should be below the railing. Honestly this looks more "handmade but actually pretty safe" more than the thread-standard "how did the person even live long enough to get a picture taken".


its a bucket lift, its just young though. it will eventually grow up to have all the osha compliant hand rails and safety controls

Fitzsimmons gives more details on the accident yesterday.

He says crews at the scene described the winds that tipped McPaul’s truck as a “fire tornado”, which resulted in “cyclonic winds” that moved across the fire ground and lifted up a 10 tonne fire truck and flipped it on the roof.

Those inside were trapped, and McPaul was killed in the process.

“I have to pay my respects and admiration to Sam’s fellow crew and those that stayed behind,” Fitzsimmons said. “They weren’t leaving Sam there until police and, of course, the local fire and rescue crew, who so professionally and with respect and dignity worked with police to ensure Sam got out of the vehicle wreckage and was transported away from that fire scene.”

Fitzsimmons says three other volunteers were injured. Two have been released from hospital, but a third is at the Prince Alfred Hospital in Melbourne with serious injuries, including burns.

Apparently a 10 ton fire truck fighting the bushfires here in Aus was just flipped over by the fire's own weather system.

Looks like either a C172 or an A380. Can’t see the other side so I don’t know for sure.

According to Wiki, TUI airlines flies primarily 737s, and that sure looks like one.

It is a Boeing 757. We know it is a Boeing because the cockpit windows are pointy at the back where Airbuses are all square. 757s can be hard to tell apart from the longer 737s, but there are a few tells:

- there are four wheels on each set of main gear (737s have two)
- the vertical stabilizer's leading edge is one straight line (the 737 has an extension at the base)
- the nose gear is mounted further back than on the 737 (this is hard to tell in the video but you can detect it at the end)

This one specifically appears to be a 757-300 because it has four doors on the side of the fuselage (the -200 model has three).

oh well fine if you're gonna be like that then i will point out that this post,

while correct in its conclusion, is also wrong because the 737-100 and -200 both have round engine nacelles (vs. the flattened ones on the later models) and lack the vertical stabilizer extension.

they would never be confused for a 757 because they are tiny little baby planes while the 757-300 is the longest longboi ever made, and the little turbojets on the early 737 are very distinctive.

but the post is still wrong
