https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZLXMKMgnS8 https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/273729 quote:The pilot of the tail wheeled-equipped airplane reported that, he was on an approach to land at an uncontrolled airport behind two helicopters. An airport surveillance video showed the accident airplane flying over the runway about 20 seconds after a helicopter was in a slow hover taxi adjacent to the runway. The pilot reported that he saw the helicopter and decided to land long to maintain separation. He added that while on short final, he saw a helicopter 'cross' the runway, so he increased engine power to full and attempted a go-around. About one-third of the way down the length of the runway, the airplane encountered the helicopter's downwash, and the airplane entered an uncommanded steep right bank. The pilot applied opposite aileron, but he was not able to maintain control of the airplane. Subsequently, the airplane impacted right of the runway and sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

https://i.imgur.com/dy7ecNm.mp4 My first real job was a retail store in an old K-mart building, where the ceiling was probably around 30' up. Any time a ceiling light burned out, we had to grab one of the extension ladders off the shelf (that no one ever bought) and climb up there ourselves. It was honestly pretty terrifying because extension ladders like that will wobble as you go up them, and the angle was usually pretty steep because it was always the lights in an aisle that went out, instead of out in the open.

Reminds me of working a festival where we had to hang up festoon lights between trees, and some of them were supposed to go up 20-30ft high. Basically, we had to run steel cable through the trees, then run the lights along the cables, fastening them together with zipties as needed. We were supposed to have access to a cherry picker but someone in charge of organizing hosed up and it was being used elsewhere that day. The guy in charge of our group suggested we just use ladders instead (on uneven dirt, oh boy!) but since none of us were willing to do something that stupidly dangerous, the guy just did a poo poo ton of cocaine and had us support the ladder while he did it himself. Fortunately he never fell and no one else got hurt, but it was stupid because we had access to the cherry picker the following day and could safely do about as much work in two hours with it as we did the entire previous day, but it's hard to persuade a man on cocaine that he's making poor choices

mobby_6kl posted:Your artisanal glass bottles one time those mold numbers on the bottom of molded glass came in handy at the drug factory, cuz we used vials for a fill that was the end of one batch number and the start of the next from the RM supplier in Mexico. Once the old batch got FIFO'ed through the oven and we started running glass from the newer batch, the stopperhead in the room jammed. Me and another guy were trying to fix it but it just didn't make any sense what was going on, some of the vials passed through just fine but some others got stuck - then, of course, one that was stuck shattered and we had to throw everything away and just stop and take inventory. That's when we realized vials from molds 2, 7, 15 and 23 all had a neck 1mm taller than the rest and we had to destroy half a million units of glass and call the RM supplier lol.

Good thing the two guys overloading the basket capacity of that baby trailer boom didn't have harnesses on, or they never could have escaped. Why did noone just drop the boom from the base control? Why did driving a bobcat over with a demo bucket seem like a better plan?

It's an open cab machine, and two people walk past the controls before the bobcat shows up? But yes, going for the controls would probably be my first choice, but I've been working with lifts like that for twenty-ish years and have had to take control at the base during emergencies more than once.

That's a 600W laser and you can just, like, buy it and shoot poo poo. My job has a ridiculous (but good!) level of safety requirements for laser use in experimental setups for way less powerful lasers. We need laser eyewear, safety interlocks, and I think any laser use outside has to be cleared with the FAA or the Air Force or something. That's horrifying.
