Bridge from 1912 collapsed with a train on it the other day in major metropolitan Tempe, AZ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPeZcc-bsjQ&t=14s News: https://www.azfamily.com/news/inves...c720db639f.html Quote: "Tempe officials said one of the derailed cars contained cyclohexanone, a pale and oily liquid that is toxic and flammable. It's used to make nylon and paint remover. HAZMAT crews placed a foam layer over the car to keep it cool and prevent any chemical vapors. The chemical is leaking into a storm drain that goes into the riverbed on the west side of the dam. Crews are testing the area and have stopped the 500 gallon leak." Whew, what a mess, glad that only happens once in a whi- "Wednesday's incident was the second time a Union Pacific train had derailed on the that bridge in a little less than a month."  “We approached this bridge from a historical perspective, we didn’t have any concerns, really, about the safety and adequacy of the bridge,” said ASU bridge expert Dr. Tony Lamanna. He also says that the bridge’s infrastructure is highly dependent on the maintenance of the bridge. Sounds like the every-30-days inspections aren't quite cutting it anymore.

The White Dragon posted:your chances go down greatly after you fix the problem lol it's the punchline of a classic joke. A man is taking an airplane flight for the first time in his life. he's very nervous about it and it's obvious -- his legs are bouncing, he's biting his nails, tightening his seatbelt. After a few minutes, the man in the next seat notices what's up. "First time flying?" "Yes...I know it's supposed to be safe but I just can't get all the scary possibilities out of my head." "Ah, I know exactly what you mean. I used to be terrified on every flight that the airplane would get blown up by a terrorist bomb." "Oh god, I hadn't even considered that one!" "Don't worry! I said I used to be terrified -- I'm not any more. I'm a insurance analyst and I know all about risk, so I was able to address my fears." "...yeah? How?" "Well, you see, I have all the actuarial tables for these things. I know that the chance of there being a bomb on the plane is very small. But I also know that statistically, the chance of there being more than one bomb on the plane is practically zero, so..." (he cautiously unzips his coat and gestures inside) "...I simply bring my own bomb on every flight!"

Every minute is a new thing that is post worthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONwe96StEpA&t=1496s Look how loving dangerous things are in just this short section! A holy trinity of attaching an unguarded propeller to your back, doing the same while skiing (which after gladiatorial combat is the most deadly of sports), and then finally attaching what is presumably an electric motor to your crotch and speeding around a swimming pool. I guess birth rates were higher and funerals were cheaper back then.

gently caress SNEEP posted:These things are really scary because they have 0 safety sensors and will slam right in to you if you walk in to the path, and it's just following a pre-programmed sequence. There's also 0 cones in this video so I'm walking away from my computer for safety now I toured a facility full of these a few years ago. They do have impact sensors and will stop if they hit you, but it will hit you at full speed.

I love that a lot of the clips in that video are people who clearly have no idea what they are doing but they understand how to make things or pay someone else to make things. So they get their new invention filmed without even knowing if it works. Then it cuts to them being dragged out of their sinking/burning creation.

The person in the spinner boat is probably the safest person there and probably had great fun. It's everyone else around that is going to have a bad time should the power or basic karma suddenly cut out.

This guy by the way has three videos total, this one with 57 million views, one posted two years later with 32 million, and one posted three years after that with 7 million. I think Youtube's algos give more weight to posting videos more frequently, but even so, I imagine this guy is making a decent chunk of money off Youtube for three videos. I mean, presumably those videos were a lot of work, but still, that's pretty fuckin good considering how many Youtubers are out there posting a new video every week and struggling to make it past 100k views on any given video. Massive props to that guy.
