Apparently Spain's exploded.quote:Black smoke billowed above the factory in Tarragona, following what rescue services called a “chemical accident”. However, authorities said there was no evidence of any “toxic cloud”. quote:The civil defence agency advised people nearby to stay inside with doors and windows shut as a precaution, but added: “There is no evidence of a toxic cloud.”

From maybe 20 pages or so back but can't seem to find it. Private pilot who takes a crazy approach straight down in low visibility, also was a video of him low flying by the SF waterfront then hard banking right as he nears the golden gate bridge. Anyone have link? only thing I can remember is that his name is Jeff.

Note that even if you give him the benefit of the doubt on the the catch-all 14 CFR § 91.13 "careless or reckless operation" rule, Jerry is still violating the 91.119 minimum safe altitude rule, which says that you must be 1000 feet above the nearest obstacle within 2000 feet in any congested area. He's definitely not 1000 feet above the Bay Bridge towers. e: his altimeter actually reads ~500 feet when he starts that insane 60-degree banked turn. The Bay Bridge towers are 520 feet tall.

Lazyhound posted:just gonna take a sharp bank with an open drink by the instrument panel, what could go wrong  A properly coordinated banked turn is a positive-G maneuver and the apparent gravity vector remains aligned with the aircraft. A level 60-degree banked turn pulls 2G, and he was climbing slightly so he was a little above that. The drink would remain in the cup.The sensation of multiple Gs straight downwards, which in this case would feel like gravity just suddenly doubled, is pretty bizarre at first, so that's probably why his passengers start screaming "oh my god" as he rolls in.

I've seen energized screws before but never at full voltage. I've only seen back feed. Of course, those were the outlets in my school in the science classroom so you had to be very careful when sitting at your desk. They were zappy from time to time. And as I always say when I see this sort of post... I have an outlet that reads ~124 VAC when energized and 21.4 VAC on the nuts when the breaker is tripped. Why the heck is it exactly 21.4 VAC when tripped? ~124 has a bit of movement on it when the breaker is closed. It moves around a little bit, but it switches to exactly 21.4 VAC when the breaker is open and it never changes. I'm aware that doorbell transformers run at that, but the house never had doorbell. I've been up in the ceiling and through the walls. Never seen an outlet that has that exactly 21.4 VAC anywhere else. Even that circuit goes dead on all the other outlets when tripped. Just not that one outlet. I even did a dead short to trip the breaker. Still 21.4 VAC after. I suppose I should trip all the breakers, have my daughter watch the meter, and turn on the other circuits on by one. I only avoid it because my fear is that, even if I trip the whole house off, I'll still get 21.4 VAC. That will make things way too weird. If I've previously mentioned this in a thread, I may be mis-remembering the voltage. I do guarantee it's 21ish, but always the same steady, bizarre voltage. I don't have my notes. Maybe it's 20.4 or maybe it's 21.1 but it always stays steady without any fluctuation. My other outlets dance a bit until you get a good connection, but this one just turns into a pure voltage with the breaker open. If I ever figure it out, I will report.

Now it’s not recommended to put an ammeter across a dead short, but at twenty volts the worst that will happen is that the meter’s fuse blows.

From listening to ATC, it sounds like a fuckup. The pilot is saying things are in control, not critical, and he doesn't need to dump fuel, but at some point must have decided he did but didn't actually mention it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIA90evz8gs

That's not the worst cab crumpling. Now, when a cement mixer truck hit a concrete support of a pedestrian walkway hard enough to knock the bridge down...

looks like the truck driver didn't see the gates/signs in time, tried stopping, realized he wasn't going to stop before the tracks, and then gunned it to try to get across. but they had already bled off too much speed, so *smack*

Varkk posted:Pretty sure you pull the breaker. Actually probably every breaker in the house because who knows how many other fun surprises like that are around. Speaking of being stupid and not turning the electricity off, my colleague and I were going to put up a big mirror on the wall in our room but there was a wall socket in the way so I unscrewed the faceplate and then pushed the sockets a bit back into their housing. When the metal on the sockets touched the metal box it was in, there was a bright flash, the electricity on the whole shop went out, and the two pieces of metal fused together.
