Ross Katanga sounds like a Bond villain’s name.

As no-one addressed it; I was thinking the same and that, more specifically, they might have just used this dude's name for the villain of this very movie.

Neither of us were quite right as Yaphet Kotto plays the similarly-named Kananga instead.

The guy's actual name was Ross Kananga and the movie did lift his name;

I feel like there needs to be some sort of mass education campaign to let people know that the crossing arms are meant to be able to be broken or snapped or lifted out of the way if you're trapped.
If you're stuck inside the crossing arms just drive through the stupid thing!

You'll scratch your vehicle and maybe break a window/side mirror.

The alternative is replacing the whole vehicle at your own expense (insurance won't cover it), raising your insurance premiums (because you stopped on train tracks), and maybe get a by-stander killed from the train turning your vehicle into confetti and a piece of that confetti-car hits Dave in the heart while he was walking his granddaughter Janice's puppy while she's at school.
Now every time little Janice looks at that dog, she get reminded of when you killed pop-pop and cries herself to sleep.


If you're stuck inside the crossing arms just drive through the stupid thing! Don't break little Janice's heart.

So I've been reading this thread for over a year and have finally caught up so I can add to the conversation. Just want to say that I've learned a lot and it's nice to hear from other tradesman who value safety. I've met far too many who don't in my ten years as a mechanic. Two recent things I caught with my phone.

So I'm at my local dive bar one afternoon. The building next door is an old KFC that has been for abandoned and for sale for almost five years. Someone finally bought the property and a crew has been inside doing renovations. It's a cold and there's a very brisk wind coming off the ocean so I get into this little alcove in front of the aforementioned building to have a smoke. I can hear hammering and power tools going on inside but failed to notice one thing.





Just as I put out my cigarette and head back inside this falls through that hole right where I was standing.



The next day there was caution tape covering the alcove.

I also recently saw my first truckfuckling in the wild.



Moments after seeing this I was in the midst of a mass shooting.

Hello fellow recent shooting survivor. I was walking down the street on the way to lunch two weeks ago and got caught in the middle of a drive by. Some twenty shots were fired towards my sidewalk at a car and none hit the vehicle or occupants, but the chased car hit the curb and a tree at like 40 when their chaser drive off. I made the initial 911 call and was one of two witnesses. I have a picture from the cleanup with five shells evidence marked in the street very near the tree I ducked behind.

Hearing whizzing and ricochets seems to stick with a person, and probably only gets worse with professional exposure. I can only imagine my mental state if the two young men at my scene didn't survive or more people were injured. Sounds like you've been through a lot and talking to a professional might help. <3

For me it wasn't the first time I'd been in the middle of gunshots fired in anger so I'm good. I was more concerned about my girlfriend who's only ever been around gunfire at a shooting range. She's dealing with it like a Rockstar because she's a bad rear end heavy metal anarchist from Catalunya. More than anything I'm sad that a community celebration for POC was sullied by senseless violence.

From my mechanic days the best I can muster is from my time as a chief mechanic at a consignment shop working on old Ferraris and Bentleys. We had this old 38' Royls Royce come in and had an electrical issue nobody could diagnose. I (having bereft of both shop hands that day) called the sales manager to assist me on the job.). I told the guy "Don't crank it until i tell you to" This was understood as crank it immediately. What followed was thousands of volts being driven across my heart as the connection was made. gently caress that deaf rear end Hells Angel gently caress in the ear. I got shocked to the floor and was told to be more careful from then on.


I'll lighten the mood with an anecdote from my mechanic days. Was working at a consignment shop as chief mechanic for a stable of used Ferraris and Bentleys. I had this late 30s Rolls Royse come in and had to run a bunch of electrical tests because the butch wouldn't turn over. Both of my shop hands.
