There's something about how the operator just drags it along the building loving up as much as he can after the first window breaks which I really appreciate

Yeah. I can't remember where I found the stats, but apparently the amount of tension those cables are under is absolutely insane.

Speaking of creations, this was a wild story about a guy who wanted to be cremated in the desert, but his family wanted him buried in Texas to get the rights to his estate, so his friends kidnapped his body.

She has a few videos about disasters that would fit this thread.

Edit: Caitlin is a pro-follow, even (especially?) if death makes you feel icky.

I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much poo poo in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my rear end. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a poo poo? You're dead, you're dead.

I assume the rules around that are more about the surviving family finding it a bit disturbing when you repurpose their dead dad as a punch basin pedestal.

As little as 150 years ago, it was still popularly believed in this country that the exact body you had when you died would be the form that you took in the afterlife. When you've got a few thousand years of that view building up inertial in your culture it can be hard to just "edgy teen" your way out of it.

Burial practices in the modern era are about absolving the guilt over treating people like trash when they are alive.

Pilots don’t have the opportunity to check the wings.

If a flight attendant hadn’t been on their feet, the deice crew might have gotten away with it for about thirty more seconds.

Credit to FAA and flight attendants everywhere, pretty sure one of the top reasons you have flight attendants is to surface check the wings in icy conditions. So banking on several people with their life at stake not giving a gently caress. Given this thread there's worse odds than getting away with that I guess.

Carrying 400-600 pounds in one hand off the side of your body while everyone bumping the mass as they walk isn't easy, even distributed across 6 people and before putting stairs in the equation.

But, yes, my aunt was overweight, though my uncle was a thin man. It hardly matters compared to a couple hundred pounds of casket.

I still marvel that church didn't have a ramp or elevator. That was a stupid place to carry a casket up.
