My assumption is that there is and they did, because why not.

I like it how at the end when they have removed it from the ground they still keep holding it from the shaft unsure of what to do next instead of putting it down so the shaft starts turning and the handle bit stops rotating.

It would probably screw-drive off into the woods and never return

Assuming that disabled the drive on the crane, can you even recover that without shutting down the power?

Wait till the arc melts off enough of the crane that the arc can't get to it anymore?

No, the entire crane and a decent sized area around it is unsafe to touch now

The power company is going to shut it down anyway because that situation is not compatible with the nearest upstream distribution point continuing to operate

Sucks to be the guy in the operator cab. Just sit there and try not to touch anything!

Yeah. If you hit a power line, take your hands off the sticks and sit there very quietly until someone tells you the power is off.

All grass lawns have a root system less than six-odd inches deep. The best solution for carbon sequestration is to just let grass grow and stop mowing yards. It sounds stupid but I'm dead-rear end serious, it's ten billion times faster and more effective than tree plantations, plus by year two wildflowers will start popping up more and then you'll get pretty butterflies in your yard too :3:

Yeah. But if your sod is floating on a layer of water like that it's because the roots never penetrated the ground after it was laid. This is often because soil gets heavily compacted during construction and then not remediate before being laid down. Root depth is highly dependent on species, watering schedule, and soil texture. I've laid sod and done native prairie restoration professionally. The hardest advice to get most people to follow is to just stop mowing so drat much. Second hardest is to get people to just stop grazing so drat much.

I have this hat. I wore it to the grocery store. One of the cashiers said "I like your hat!", so I said "oh haha glad you actually read it, everyone else just gives me angry stares." She then said "oh, why? what does it say?" and leaned in.

Turns out we didn't have much to talk about anymore.

The MAGA hat is kind of brilliant in that way because it’s difficult to satirize for that very reason.

IIRC if you need to get out of an electrified cab like in case it is literally on fire now its recommended you jump as far as you can while still landing with feet together and then you do a cute little hop shuffle to avoid situations where your feet might be at different voltages and draw current through you.

Jumping from the cab is not such a bright idea if you're in a tower crane, though.

I guess in that case your best bet would be thick gloves and boots and hoping that the tower acts as enough of a faraday cage to protect you while you climb.

Our construction manager is a BASE jumping enthusiast so in that case it'd be a phenomenal idea until you met the safety guys at the bottom

The greatest ever moment of Australian radio was when Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee were giving away a tiny remote control helicopter and decided to try it out in the studio.

Ed was holding the remote control in his hands when the aerial touched his microphone and somehow shorted out.
