Yeah if Teslas were only hitting cop cars, there wouldn't be complaints. Unfortunately they have been targeting are brave heroes in fire trucks.

Okay, why does that keep happening? I swear I've seen at least 4 different videos of something similar. Does it happen a lot?

It's terrifying.

Yeah.

It’s called a “cobble”. It happens to maybe one thousandth of all steel that’s rolled like that in most plants (usually not that spectacularly). “Cobble rate” is a statistic the bean counters track.

Worldwide steel production is two billion tonnes per year, so you’re going to end up with a lot of the Devil’s silly string.

Torches. Sometimes pure oxygen because the steel is hot enough to sustain combustion right away.

In addition to how dangerous the contraption is, I appreciate his commitment to building everything with the worst materials and methods.

Some of the visual gags are pretty good, too.

A few years ago one of my friend's neighbours changed jobs from being a caretaker at a local cemetery to working at a sawmill.

After a few weeks at his new job, he popped in to do some overtime by himself on the weekend and had a bit of an accident.

He cut off his right arm just above the elbow before losing 3 of the fingers on his left hand retrieving the severed arm. He called the ambulance on his iPhone.

I've got a weird feeling that their system to attach ~most of the plane to a light chassis would cause a lot more accidents and problems than their idea would prevent.

I don't get why removing the wings and cockpit is a necessary and useful step. If you've got a method of safely landing 3/4s of a plane, why not land the entire plane?

I'd be willing to bet there's another cut of that video targeted at business customers where the plane lands safely and the cabin explodes in the distance.

lol that the pilots die in the background. That seems like a huge cross section and ton of weight added to the plane and it'll never get to testing.

Based on those animations I guess the idea is that you can jettison the passengers in the event that the engines are on fire. Not like it'd actually work out in practice.

And make it so that if someone lowers their seat back more than 10 degrees, they automatically get ejected.

Nope, the muscles, tendons and blood vessels were all pretty much obliterated. From memory he was participating in some sort of research that involved prosthetics that somehow interacted with signals from nerves in the stump, which sounded pretty interesting.
