For a reductionist enough view of physics sure.

For a variety of dynamic designs it's usually better to move under changing loads if for nothing more complicated than spring go whrrrrrr.

istr that these guys don't actually do anything useful for the research community. scientists now have ways of gathering the weather data they need without putting humans in danger. Most storm chasers are just thrill seekers who need some sort of fig leaf excuse for their behavior.

The most OSHA deficient thing in the video is probably some of the field work with machetes.

The internal belt grinding of the scissor handles near the end of the video (after seven minutes) is interesting.

Explosives to free Dali from Key Bridge wreckage, crew will shelter in place on board

quote:

When detonated, the explosives will separate a large portion of the bridge's truss that's lying on top of the Dali's bow, according to Unified Command's Petty Officer Ronald Hodges.

Unified Command has determined the crew can safely stay on board the Dali and does not need to evacuate prior to detonation, Hodges said. Hodges said he could not say where the crew would be kept on the ship while the explosives are set off.

I know that the crew is kept aboard as hostages because international maritime law is fucky, but come on.
