In that digg vid, looks like the (apartment?) building above it is...um...kinda iffy after that?
I can imagine being in a bottom floor room and just seeing the ground outside disappear entirely...

Edit: Ah, looks like the building did, in fact, say "gently caress this", per the second link.

Ahmet Misbah Demircan, Mayor of Beyoglu posted:

the building was constructed illegally in 1994. It did not have an occupancy permit or a construction license while problems with its foundation were reported. To this day, it is not clear why authorities did not address the issue.

Unauthorised/non-compliant construction is a massive problem in Turkey. That earthquake they had in the late 90s had a much larger death toll than it should. Something something authoritarian regimes something bribes something.

Conan’s writer took it wholesale from the fourteenth‐century Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh, in which the question is posed to Genghis Khan.

One of the most popular stories on this blog is that of the nineteenth-century Frenchman who cut his own penis in two for sexual gratification. If you type the keywords ‘man cut penis two’ into pretty much any search engine, it’s the top hit – on the entire internet. If that’s not success, I don’t know what is.

That case is so deeply bizarre that for a while I despaired of ever finding anything to match it. And then I stumbled across this oddity published in the New York Journal of Medicine in 1852.

quote:

On Sunday, Yegor Firsov, head of Ukraine's state ecological inspection service, said in a Facebook post that radiation levels at the centre of the fire were higher than normal.

His post included a video of a Geiger counter showing radiation levels 16 times higher than normal.

Ukraine's emergency service told AFP that no increase in radiation in the air had been detected.

"There is no spike in radiation levels," said Olga Kozak, a spokeswoman for the emergency service, which has deployed planes, a helicopter and more than 100 firefighters to fight the blaze,

Ukraine's government agency for managing the Chernobyl exclusion zone also reported that normal levels of gamma radiation "were not exceeded" in the area of the fire.

Later Monday, Firsov himself withdrew his claim, writing on Facebook that manmade radionuclides were not detected at the site of the fire.

He added that the fire in the exclusion zone did not affect the radiation situation in Kiev and the suburbs, refuting his earlier statement.

I would sit behind it until it turned off, wanting so badly to zip under there but to terrified to actually do it. Later, when drinking or just braggy, I’d claim I did it then regret lying more than I regretted not actually doing it.

Sounds about right. They drive like idiots into unsafe road conditions and probably don't wear a seatbelt so they can dramatically leap from the truck when filmin naders.

Hopefully this works. The vid is a little lengthy and harrowing but it has a happy ending. Tractor trailer was blown off what's known around here as the high-rise bridge as we had a storm with 60mph gusts, with the cab dangling over the edge. Someone livestreamed the rescue of the driver. I'm guessing his underwear was a total loss.
