The guys in the back "steerage class" will be stuck for 5 hours waiting to unload if they ever make it to a terminal. If you make it long enough, then you will be at your destination as soon as you get on the plane. Just have to walk the hundreds or thousands of miles to get off the other end of the plane.

At least they’re outside although if one goes the rest will probably catch too and an oil fire that large will probably spread to the structure

A few years ago when deepfrying turkeys was kicking off in the mainstream so many houses got torched that the American Rental Association sent out letters to members the next thanksgiving basically saying "Just don't rent out tripod burners and stock pots this season" And yea, we don't. There is so much loving wrong with those pictures. Even if they did get the "don't do it on your wood deck 5" from your house" part right.

I went through all the effort to set up a derrick the one year I deep fried a turkey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14bgW8xmqk And it was complete overkill. As long as you don't overfill your pot with oil and aren't chucking a frozen turkey into it, you're not going to set anything on fire. I deep fried two turkeys that both came out great, it was super fast compared to oven roasting them, and that crispy skin is just divine. The only downsides are cost of the oil and the cleanup afterwards took forever.

Also just turn the loving fire off while you lower the turkey.

If there's anything I see there to nitpick it's that they could have moved slightly farther away from the concrete block structure...?

Most of them are in splash range of each other. One of them is well within flambe range of the building... ...under the awning. And the tanks are too close. Two of those burners have the wrong length tube on it to begin with.

The OSHA part is that anyone with trouble going up/down stairs has to queue for the single handicap bathroom on the main level, or try and sneak into business class.

mustard_tiger posted:Just have a large bucket of water nearby to put out any fires. I've been frying our turkey since 2004. I keep a towel in the bucket of water. It's not really an issue if you shut off the flame before lowering the turkey into the oil. Also just basic common sense, like: frequently check the oil temp, never get more than five steps from the fryer if possible, and absolutely never leave it unattended.but then again CainFortea posted:I mean, yes obviously you can easily deep fry a turkey safely.

My father was a firefighter and EMT in a small town with a large highway cutting through it. He told me once about the room at the station they' used to debrief and to process, where they'd brew strong coffee and make all kinds of jokes about the poo poo they just had to deal with. They were as horrible and as tasteless as they had to be in order for them to get it out and off their chest so they could get back to their families. When I asked him for an example he told me "Nothing said in that room ever gets repeated outside. That is the rule" and I knew never to ask again. Emergency workers need that outlet, whether they share it or keep it internal.

Also, by the looks of those pots, they've been doing this for years. For real though, I did fried turkeys with a bunch of friends for about 7 years till we all moved too far apart and we had some established rules. Fire extinguisher is always there, no kids or pets, no drinking or smoking till the bird is done and the oil is cooled, etc. We always kept apps inside so people wouldn't congregate, and a fire pit at the other end of the yard. Always a couple people at the fryer. The only issue we ever had is we tried to dry the wet but empty pot out on the blaster once and it melted through the bottom in about 3 seconds. It was really fun trying to find a turkey pot in a hurry when guests were showing up.

Police AID Division stuff that rarely leaves their files and was locked up in our office safes when part of our files. We would joke about it too, as a defense. I am reminded of this photo, which was take in the aftermath of a suicide bombing in Moscow many years ago. There's no gore in this image, it's been cropped. The investigators are coping.

I work in the disability support industry. As the company 'ex-military guy' most of my clients are veterans. I'll ya what, dark jokes are very very very much a way of getting the poo poo they saw or did in their past out and in the open. Our staff also have a chair in my office that they only sit in if they want to vent about something - it's a bit of an unspoken thing that if you are sittign in there - you about to unload your day to me.
