Engorged Pedipalps posted:Nuclear meltdowns aren't that destructive in the grand scheme of things and most npps have been designed to automatically shutdown in failure conditions (like unattended operation) I should have been more specific: Nuclear plants would for the most part be fine yes. There are coal power plants that would explode, other toxic poo poo they would corrode and leak all over the place, tons of poo poo would catch on fire and burn billions of acres of forest and buildings, releasing toxic and radioactive chemicals, etc etc. Also, I’m all in favor of humans leaving the planet. We don’t deserve earth. Give it to the orcas.

Paradoxish posted:tbf the Titanic didn't really skirt safety regulations, the builders just had a somewhat reasonable but incorrect view of safety that saw lifeboats as something you use to transport passengers off of a crippled/slowly sinking ship. No one thought you'd actually have people sitting around in lifeboats waiting for rescue, so it was fine to just have enough to make multiple trips carrying everyone to a rescue ship. Didn't they cheap out on the water-tight compartments? They weren't sealed at the top so water just overflowed from one to the next in series. Once they corrected it the other two Titanic class ships were better, one was sunk by a Turkish mine and the other lived its best life happily ramming ships right and left until it was retired.

No one thought you'd actually have people sitting around in lifeboats waiting for rescue, so it was fine to just have enough to make multiple trips carrying everyone to a rescue ship. The wrought iron rivets used in the Titanic had a slag concentration 3x higher than they should have, even by turn of the century metallurgical standards. This probably contributed to the brittle failure of the hull after impacting the iceberg, which caused the ship to sink quickly.

The Homer City Coal Power Plant, about 30 miles from here, is shutting down. Has the tallest chimney in North America at over 1300' anyway I looked up why they'd build these supertall chimneys for coal power plants and it was to disperse pollutants over a wider area. if the chimney were shorter, the fumes would concentrate and kill people in the area. lol!

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:The Homer City Coal Power Plant, about 30 miles from here, is shutting down. Has the tallest chimney in North America at over 1300' I worked for the electric utility in Northern Indiana. The story told me is that one of their coal plants there couldn’t get a permit to run with the height of its smoke stack, but they could get a permit for a higher elevation. So they essentially installed a giant washer on the top of the smoke stack to increase the pressure of the exhaust and shoot it higher into the air. The downside was that they couldn’t run all the units that fed that stack at full power at the same time (something in the stack would be way over pressure), but it was what they could do to get the station online.

Without going into a whole thing about the Victorian Navy, ships of Titanic’s era were famously vulnerable to underwater damage of all kinds. The pre-Dreadnought battleships in particular were probe to capsize or rapid flooding due to poor compartmentalization. So, considering this was a passenger liner, I don’t think the bulkheads were unusually poorly laid out, if you take warships as the state of the art. DK Brown gets way more into it in his book, but that was my takeaway.

prior to titanic there isn’t international regulation of shipping by a treaty. it’s the reason we get SOLAS.
