I was thinking that at crack they found, there was a two-millimetre displacement.

More importantly all the load bearing drywall on one side of the building shattered.

"Engineers have indicated that the building may have moved up to 2 millimetres." gotta cite sources! you may both be right though

Ground moves weird sometimes. Like the building had been built on a fault line and in millions of years there will be a mountain range right there.

It didn't lock them to the alarm, you just had a giant handcuff.

After spending two semesters in a dorm that started getting dumped multiple nights a week, gently caress 'em. Hang a hacksaw next to it for if it's a real fire. But honestly, the alarm stunts got loving annoying, and after the first half-dozen, less and less kids would actually evacuate. The hall director then came around with the FD & master keys and found kids hunkered down in their rooms with pillows taped over the alarm horns. I wonder if the alarms are guarded any better now that security cameras can be had for >$100, wireless, and can be stuck almost anywhere.

We get false alarms in my apartment building often enough that I just ignore them and go back to sleep. One of these days I'm going to die in a fire and that's okay. Really though, the window by my bed opens onto a rooftop and fire escape access so hopefully not.

Is this 2mm change in reference of the building to it’s surroundings? Or of one part of the building in relation to another part of the same building.

I have to imagine the latter because I can't imagine them having sufficiently detailed before/after measurements to know "this sidewalk was 2mm higher last night!", vs the above picture of "measuring part of the building against itself where it definitely was supposed to line up before"

The one time someone pulled the fire alarm in my student hall they loving pulled prints off the drat thing and evicted the rear end in a top hat. Literally no one felt bad.

I think if you look where the "2" is spray painted on that concrete you can see the displacement. Seems that the right hand side has dropped and moved towards the POV a couple of millimeters. edit: Speak of the devil All Opal Tower residents forced to leave cracked building quote:All of the residents of a 36-storey apartment block in Sydney's west will be forced to leave as a "precautionary measure" after a wall cracked inside the new building on Christmas Eve.

I just turn on a fire scanner stream. If the firefighters start talking about seeing smoke you know it's not a false alarm. Download Broadcastify and see if there's a local stream.

from probably a thousand replies in the past but I dunno if it's osha but I learned pretty young if you lose traction tuck your fuckin head in & away from where your body's going unless you get booted out of a car or down a slope if you tuck in you're a lot more likely to avoid busting up limbs or brains this is extraordinarily painful looking goddamn I mean you can feel when it's too late and your going down -- you gotta fuckin tuck, you're not going to ninja leap to safety or even get your legs under you take the hit with your body where it'll be fine do bust out your brainstem or the joints in your arms or legs. cursed as gently caress i'm cross posting this to cursed thread e jfc I've been drunk off my rear end and still avoided bouncing my skull like that gently caress me get some goddamn salt or grit next time relevel the fucker so it drains away or something

Pretty misleading, they have removed people again in order to undertake the repair work. Australia does require chartered engineer sign off on structural and life safety services designs.
