We're all mad here.


I mean, she fights anyone trying to get it back in, yeah, that’s clearly raw panic, and keeps rejecting it throughout even if someone forced it in, I’m just not sure how she got in that predicament in the first place. Seemed like by the time the camera diver gets down there the, uhh, “exercise” is fully underway.

Drivers removing their mouthpieces is actually a very common behavior that happens in a panic situation. When you're diving the mouthpiece and the mask can feel like they're "in the way" of your breathing normally when you're inexperienced and when someone is under stress and loses it, they often just rip off the unnatural feeling stuff desperate to get their face to air. It's completely non-logical stuff triggered by ultra base instincts.

Speaking of which. Yesterday I 3D printed some raptor arms for the neighbours chicken. It immediately started attacking anything else around and stalking an Ibis.

Historical is great, that's gone on the list, thanks. I'm digging through my library for more recommendations of my own.

I went on a train wreck kick for a bit, and The Day the Whistles Cried: The Great Cornfield Meet at Dutchman's Curve: The Story of America's Deadliest Train Wreck as a very good historical account of an obscure disaster, as is Lost at Thaxton: The Dramatic True Story of Virginia's Forgotten Train Wreck.

The Dilbit Disaster is a good short read (on Amazon as an ebook) about what happens when a bitumen pipeline spills.

O Muhammad, I seek your intercession with my Lord for the return of my eyesight
removing a mask is a common enough thing that they drill into you to not do that under any circumstances in industrial air work also. somebody died around here in the last couple years because they panicked when something went wrong and ripped off their mask in a toxic environment

My hometown was knocking down the memorial arena using one of those wrecking ball cranes, and the thing was basically a concrete bunker from the 50s and it barely dented it. The local rock radio station was out doing a live event and they eventually got bored with the lack of results they just went to playing music instead of doing the excited play by play they had so obviously been hoping to do of the carnage.

I think they eventually had to give up and get an excavator with one of those hammer chisels on the end to come in and punch some holes in it to weaken it enough to let the ball do its work.

Anyone have good recommendations for good OSHA books, preferably those that do a deep dive and analysis of a single industrial accident or wreck? I prefer the type that puts it in a historical context rather than just technical descriptions of what went wrong.

Books on similar topics I've liked in the past are Tom's River, Tragedy at Honda, and so on. The more obscure, the better, as long as the writing of the book is sufficiently well researched.

Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety gives both technical aspects of the 1980 Damascus, Arkansas Titan Missile explosion and the 1961 Goldsboro, North Carolina B-52 crash and a good history of safety measures surrounding nuclear weapons in the United States.

Yeah it seems baffling to me that they couldn't knock this arena down easily, I would have thought they could look at the plans and have an engineer figure it out but they just tried to wail on it with a wrecking ball instead.

It was built like a bunker pretty much (1949)


Actually found a couple pics online, they used a good amount of rebar in that sucker too.




It was built to last, but the acoustics were godawful.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime or HF or Dimethylmercury or Isopropyl Bromide or improperly stored fuming acid or just a whole lot of ammonia.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace

Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come Max Gergeling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: starting a chemical company is a quick and easy way to make money.

It's this. You're not having fun until you're restraining a dweeb under 20m of water so your divemaster can force their mouthpiece back onto them.
