(Three second pause, blatantly glances at producer off-camera)... To do an accident investigation." There is also one air disaster where a propeller plane flying between Morocco and Italy goes out of gas and plummets into the Mediterranean Sea. The plane had wrong type of fuel gauge installed, so it did not show correct amount but that there were still some left, that was a mistake by the Moroccan service crew. However: -The captain ordered fuel to his plane at the airport in Italy when he landed, the ground crew did not bother doing their job and refueling the plane as was asked. -The captain asked about missing refueling slip from the control tower, they lied and said that "yes it was done no get gone we fax you the missing receipt to your home field". -The Italian investigators showed that had the captain known that his plane had run out of fuel and the engines weren't misfiring, he could have theoretically made it back to Italy (just barely,). The verdict that stuck was that all was the captains faults, since he took off without a paper receipt for refueling. And especially, no-one in Italy was to blame for any of this. Not the ground crew who didn't bother to do their job nor tell anyone about it, or the control tower which blatantly lied to the captain just to get rid of him. So yeah. He did manage controlled landing to the sea and not everyone died, and he actually lived to get the blame for the some tens of passangers that didn't make it. Because he trusted the Italian airport services and officials overseeing the procedures.

I figured it was a "we found some violations, arrest them now so they can't flee until we complete the investigation" kind of thing. Still curious what the full cause of the accident will be. Is there a chance the cable could let go? non sulla tua vita, mio amico italiano

Also the Cessna guys weren’t even allowed to operate in fog but did anyway.

In more recent memory I've been hit by a wave not even half that big and it laid my poo poo out with the quickness. It was loving humbling, thinking, "Eh, I don't need to dive under this one." The Ocean doesn't gently caress around.

Yeah, that was the one. I think my favorite episode is the one on TACA Flight 110. A 737 had a double engine flameout from unexpectedly heavy rainfall and the captain - who'd lost an eye in the Ecuadoran civil war - glided the plane to a landing on a levee at the Michoud Assembly Facility.

norton I posted:strict adherence to timetables has some problems. The driver may face some internal punishment now, but he'd also be facing it if he hit the e-stop to take a poo poo - might as well risk it and hope no one snitches. He was already facing some internal punishment - that's why he had to take the emergency toilet break.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:And yet the Vajont Dam tsunami was originally characterized as "a mysterious act of God's love" That's true, but I will say the Vajont dam was overtopped by a wall of water that overtopped it by 250 meters (not total height, the wave exceeded the height of the dam by 800+ft) and that dam held. Edit: looks like they absolutely knew it shouldn't have been there, there were massive landslides all during and after construction and they 100% knew there was going to be a huge landslide, they'd had time to model the effects!

I used to work for a company that did ultra high pressure water blasting, part of which included using 40k PSI water pumps with hoses like that (obviously without the bubble). They're used for a bunch of different things. Our big moneymaker was shut-down maintenance at paper and steel mills. 40k PSI water will cut right through the nastiest poo poo inside of a boiler, and as you would imagine, will easily cut off the limb of a person if they aren't wearing the right PPE. We'd also use it to blast out concrete that had cured around rebar, if that gives you any indication as to how powerful it is.

First hand account of what happened at the Callide Powerstation that shut a bunch of poo poo down: Unit 4 tripped (went of line) and the main circuit breaker (about the size of a 44 gallon drum) that is ment to stop the power from the grid getting back into the unit failed. As a result it over loaded the unit causing the turbine to over rev and literally spinning it to bits. Parts of the turbine and its outta casing were launched through the roof on the final explosion plus there was a fire near the boiler that started before all this as well"

Those are some Sauerkrauts. My new neighbors moved in on Sunday and somehow peeled the top third of the handrail off of the staircase. I found this out when I went to take out my recycling that evening. Maintenance fixed it first thing Monday morning otherwise I would have taken a picture of it.
