It's only the dry climate that keeps them from just melting into nothing - but when we get storms this stuff happens. at least in the richie parts of San Diego, they're building a tunnel... thus preserving the only rail connection for the Port of San Diego

Vampire Panties posted:at least in the richie parts of San Diego, they're building a tunnel... thus preserving the only rail connection for the Port of San Diego Well, they say they plan to study the possiblity of a tunnel. It's going to end up being a multi billion dollar project and Del Mar is already gearing up to fight it, so we'll have to wait and see if any of the political forces in the region care enough about it to actually push it through.

Vakal posted:Says they were contractors so it probably depends on what was written on the contract. From what I hear most large demo companies contracts basically say "If anything goes wrong AT ALL, it's not our fault." There are only so many demo companies in any given area that can do large scale demo, so someone that needs large scale demo work basically has no choice but to accept a contract. Of course, contracts only cover what's controlled by the company hiring the demo company, so if you drop a building and it falls across the street and crumps some 3rd party building, then you hosed.

Hollismason posted:I always kind of wonder about when something like this happens does the guy in charge get fired. From my experience they’d have a project manager who would have made among other things a risk register that included everything they thought could go wrong. Maybe one of the towers doesn’t fall, maybe they fall and knock something out (the scrub tower as one risk, whatever was on the other side as a different risk), the charges not firing right, permits suddenly being revoked, bad weather, etc etc. For each risk they would list out how severe and likely they are to occur, what some options on what to do if they occur, how much money they’d need to set aside for it (there’s a transferral of responsibility where they may choose to insure the risk for big things like this, other times it’s just more money from the coffers gets earmarked just in case), and how they’d resolve the issue. This risk management plan would get approved by the contractor leads and the sponsors who hired them, so a well managed operation would know exactly what to do in this situation. The scrub tower goes down, anyone can look at the risk management plan and follow the listed instructions.

IIRC when that tower thing happened the reporting around it was saying that fifth tower was also due to come down soon, just it wasn't planned to be part of that particular blast, so it was sort of a "Task Failed Successfully" type situation.

Hollismason posted:I always kind of wonder about when something like this happens does the guy in charge get fired. This video was circulated before and the article stated that the contractor was paid to take down just the four chimneys for the time being, but the entire site was going to be torn down anyway. If the scrub tower was to be kept then they couldn't use explosives on the other four because it's never that predictable. So in this case the site owner got a freebie. Which means that the contractor fired the demolition team anyway because they don't do charity work.

So how much extra force does the chain provide compared to just having the shaft be extended by the same length?

Hel posted:So how much extra force does the chain provide compared to just having the shaft be extended by the same length? Pretty much none. The only tangible benefit is that you'd feel less of an impact shock on your hands, which can help with fatigue if you're doing a lot of chopping. IIRC that's the main reason that construction came about for flails used in grain threshing in the first place.

Flails also allow the business end of the tool to cover a greater area of the threshed surface compared to whacking it with a straight pole.
