It can't phase into the floor like that tugboat up there, but still, we're hosed. e: I will say, after watching that video, I am 100% certain that any forkfuckler who gets to drive such a rig will never set foot on land again, he'll go to whatever lengths are necessary to remain in his seat, pretending he can open the fridge and eat his mashed potatoes just fine this way, he's an operator, damnit!

Platystemon posted:I am reminded of a cool tug. That article has a LOT of good OSHA bits. quote:In mid-March, when the volume began to approach that amount, curiosity got the best of Raphael G. Kazmann, author of a book called “Modern Hydrology” and professor of civil engineering at Louisiana State University. Kazmann got into his car, crossed the Mississippi on the high bridge at Baton Rouge, and made his way north to Old River. He parked, got out, and began to walk the structure. An extremely low percentage of its five hundred and sixty-six feet eradicated his curiosity. “That whole miserable structure was vibrating,” he recalled in 1986, adding that he had felt as if he were standing on a platform at a small rural train station when “a fully loaded freight goes through.” Kazmann opted not to wait for the caboose. “I thought, This thing weighs two hundred thousand tons. When two hundred thousand tons vibrates like this, this is no place for R. G. Kazmann. I got into my car, turned around, and got the hell out of there. I was just a professor—and, thank God, not responsible.” quote:Up the valley somewhere, during the ’27 high water, was a railroad bridge with a train sitting on it loaded with coal. The train had been put there because its weight might help keep the bridge in place, but the bridge, vibrating in the floodwater, produced so much friction that the coal in the gondolas caught fire. Soon the bridge, the train, and the glowing coal fell into the water.

I enjoy how he looks all the way to the top of the pole, clearly confused how it jumped out in front of him.

That pole looks reflective and has the sun behind it, and also why the gently caress is there a pole. I can totally believe it's easy to overlook.

Bobulus posted:I enjoy how he looks all the way to the top of the pole, clearly confused how it jumped out in front of him. I saw this happen as a teenager once. I was out at the fairgrounds doing maintenance when I watched a pickup drive slowly down the spacious midway, then empty, but with large electric poles every so often. At just about that speed, the truck inexplicably bonked into one of the poles. It didn't look like anything had happened but a small dent in the front bumper, but I started walking over anyway because I thought the person behind the wheel might have passed out or been drunk or something. A couple seconds after I started walking towards the truck, I noticed a funny movement in the pole, which I initially took to just be shaking from the impact. I then watched in horror as the pole proceeded to shear and break off just above the base. Right about the time the power lines started audibly popping, the driver floored it and shot out of the fairgrounds as I retreated back to my truck to radio in for someone to call the power company. The driver was pretty easy to identify, what with an auctioneering business name and phone number printed on the side. I found out from one of my coworkers that the driver was the father of the owner and legally blind, but he refused to stop driving.

ekuNNN posted:old electricity poles look cool those are old telegraph/telephone systems, before there was such a thing as an multiplexer which allowed different users to share lines. so every line had to be individually strung between each individual device and then the central switchbord if those had been invented yet, or if not to the telegraph office or whatever

Something deep down inside me was very triggered by this video and just loving knew it was a HK minibus driver. The big bus drivers are equally crazy/skilled.

I saw this same video being discussed in another thread...unfortunately it's fake. The bus video is from Japan but they sped it up and dubbed over with audio in mandarin or cantonese (I don't remember which).
