This is what I was remembering. Well, there's others too, but the fact that she is scaring that wee shite is a bonus. Hope she gets well, she seems really nice

https://twitter.com/davidfarrier/status/1327292226628583425 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_5390 quote:Flight attendant Nigel Ogden was entering the cockpit when there was a loud bang[5] and the cabin quickly filled with condensation. The left windscreen panel, on Lancaster's side of the flight deck, had separated from the forward fuselage; Lancaster was propelled out of his seat by the rushing air from the decompression and forced head first out of the flight deck. His knees were caught on the flight controls and his upper torso remained outside the aircraft, exposed to extreme wind and cold. The autopilot had disengaged, causing the plane to descend rapidly.[5] The flight deck door was blown inward onto the control console, blocking the throttle control (causing the aircraft to gain speed as it descended) and papers and debris blew into the flight deck from the passenger cabin. Ogden rushed to grab Lancaster's belt, while the other two flight attendants secured loose objects, reassured passengers, and instructed them to adopt brace positions in anticipation of an emergency landing.

The episode of Air Crash Investigation on this accident is easily the best one they ever made and is a absolute pro-click. Just a warning if you watch this, you will want to find the entire series and watch them all. You should. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNTHm2pvZTQ

Nenonen posted:Not available in my country due to copyright restrictions I think that's because the show airs on one of the more obscure free channels every day at 8pm and they'd rather you sub to whatever on-demand service nobody's ever heard of has it, rather than see it for free on YouTube like the rest of the world. Which of course doesn't even have all of the episodes and probably has a custom player that's completely woeful. Copyright law is really loving stupid.

A bit back, but:DelphiAegis posted:Very apocryphal. If they left a dead body in the concrete, it'd eventually rot and leave a void which would likely cause the dam to collapse. All very true, and this was why for decades everyone treated the local story about the horse and cart that fell into one of the piers of the Loch nan Uamh viaduct on the West Highland Railway in Scotland (built in the late 1890s by 'Concrete Bob' McAlpine and one of the first modern uses of mass structural concrete) as one of those urban myths that attaches itself to almost every large concrete structure. In fact by the 1980s the legend said that the unfortunate horse was inside the more famous Glenfinnan viaduct further up the line. That was when a university professor drilled boreholes into the large piers of the Glenfinnan bridge and used a small fisheye camera to look for voids or horse remains and found nothing. Then in the late 90s he checked out the Loch nan Uamh viaduct with the same method and also found nothing. Later he returned with penetrating radar and saw the image of a cart with a horse's skeleton suspended above it at the bottom of a corner of the viaduct's enlarged central pier, suggesting that the cart slipped over the edge of the works, dragging the poor horse with it. (The radar image is online and can be found with a google search, but I can't find a usable version to upload from my phone). Edit: Thanks Cojawfee!  That enlarged pier has always been something of a mystery because there's no obvious reason for it to exist. It just looks like one of the viaduct's planned arches has been filled in solid. The original investigation with the boreholes showed that this pier - unlike all the others on this and the other viaduct's on the route - is not solid concrete but has concrete walls 9ft thick and a core (that which isn't occupied by the remains of a horse and cart...) filled with fine rubble. So now it's suggested that this unusual large central pier was built entirely to get around the problem of what to do with the deceased horse.

It makes sense that they drilled holes and didn't find anything. They'd pretty much have to drill right in to it which means either getting really fuckin lucky, or putting so many holes in the pier that it would probably fall apart.

Now that I’m working safety again I’m back to my Friday afternoon routine of an hour of reading NIOSH fatality investigations for... is inspiration the right word? I like to learn from mistakes and they don’t always have to be my own. Here’s the site if anyone is interested, and there’s some huge 300 page PDFs of them by type I can dig up when I’m not exhausted. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/face/inhouse.html

 This guy shut down I-25 southbound in Wyoming today for about 5 hours. Those "do not drive light trucks on this road because of 70mph winds" sign postings are not just a suggestion.
