OSHA approved roller coaster demolition.

https://twitter.com/tonyclarkcp/status/1482085802645798912?s=21


I've posted in this thread before about working at Cedar Point. This was one of the rides I was a supervisor on.
On the other end of the spectrum there's Conneaut Lake Park. CLP was blue collar park supported through local volunteers and managed by a board of trustees bringing in a few hundred thousand a year until covid hit. Enter Todd Joseph. Joseph is a successful* business man who claims he's willing to be an investor for turning the park's fortunes around and growing it post-covid. The board agrees and turns over ownership of the land for $1.2 million... aaaaand Joseph immediately sells half the park off for scrap and demolishes it. After much legal back & forth, he is explicitly told not to demolish the park's other Interbellum-era historical structures, including their 85 year old roller coaster and ACE historical landmark, Blue Streak.

*later investigations discover that he's actually a Trumpian figure who mismanages everything he owns into the ground and makes all his profit entirely off corporate welfare.

Instead, Joseph gets a controlled burn permit for burning off "old wood". With which he pulls a Joker-and-the-money-pile from The Dark Knight and sets all the old railings and support beams that need replacement on fire without first removing them from the historical structures he wasn't allowed to demolish directly. It turns out that his entire business plan was to destroy the park and force the local community to give him money to rebuild the park if they ever want to have anything more than a pile of rubble again and skim off the top of that.

Now the real OSHA-thread part of this is that the maintenance staff wasn't informed that this would be happening to the structures they were working on. Robber barons burning down factories for insurance money without informing the workers inside, now in 21st century form!

On the subject of the train container break ins, that's a switching/congestion/rail network failure because it they could keep moving instead of at a dead stop for hours the thefts would be much lower.

I heard the congestion issue is because the trains are so drat long that the railyards can't deal with them without splitting them up and that takes forever.

yeah but just think how much money you save by only having one crew for one big train instead of TWO crews for TWO trains. Or more! ridiculous.

also no we can't use any of that saved money to expand the rail yard, either.

I suspect that the other properties near the rail yard are in use as things other than rail yards.

The only time I thought I had a package stolen was a pair of headphones I ordered online, maybe from NewEgg. I waited and waited and they never showed up, even though they were marked as delivered, and after jumping through a lot of hoops I got another pair shipped.

Fast forward a year or so and I open the back door from kitchen while cleaning, which was never used because the place was tiny and that was where a utility cart lived when not in use, and stuck between the screen door and the outside door was the missing package. The delivery person had in fact delivered it, but to the door I never used and in a way that was invisible from the outside.

In my defense, the front door was obviously the front door, and had the mailbox and house number on it.

Dumb question about the Tonga volcano and this seems like a reasonable place to ask. If a submarine had been close I assume it would get very fuckled. But how close would be too close? Would it just pancake or explode or what?

Somebody forgot to tie down a flatbed load of truck parts.

There's no way the steering axle leaves without the leaf springs. No way the rear suspension hangers come off the frame without ripping huge holes in it.
