I posted about this a while ago, but the video finally leaked. Truck driver enters crossing, stops midway instead of going through the barriers, gets hit by passenger train going 90 MPH.



edit: had to remove the url tags because it was way too huge.

I like how nonchalantly he gets out of the truck to survey the scene, as if he wasn't literal inches from becoming marinara sauce.

And how normal he walks, as if he didn't have a load of poo poo in his shorts.

Do extreme sports fans actually die younger than average? I mean, they tend to be very fit as well as cool, attractive and popular. Maybe the selfish ones with low life expectancy are the sadbrained fat goonlords??

How loving retarded do you have to be to think it's better to stop in the crossing than plow through the gate?

Edit: also more evidence that the Anglosphere style of crossing (boom gates only block incoming) is superior

[edit] Barn fires can't melt steel tanks! 90% of material strength lost by the time the tank wall hits 700C leading to structural failure. It plays out that way in all sorts of situations so why are people still so hhnngh.

quote:

The total insurance-related losses from the explosion are estimated to be around $230 million and federal disaster assistance is estimated to exceed $16 million. WFC was only insured for $1 million, which fell far short of the incident’s damage. Section 5 presents CSB’s analysis of the policies and regulations that led to this as well as to the failure of the insurer to identify the risks posed by FGAN. A few years prior to the incident, WFC was dropped by one insurer for failing to address safety concerns identified in loss control surveys. The company that insured WFC at the time of the incident did not appear to have conducted its own safety inspections of the facility.

CSB’s analysis of the emergency response, found in Section 7, concludes that the West Volunteer Fire Department did not conduct pre-incident planning or response training at WFC, was likely unaware of the potential for FGAN detonation, did not take recommended incident response actions at the fire scene, and did not have appropriate training in hazardous materials response.

CSB found several shortcomings in federal and state regulations and standards that could reduce the risk of another incident of this type. These include the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Explosives and Blasting Agents and Process Safety Management standards, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Risk Management Program and Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, and training provided or certified by the Texas Commission on Fire Protection and the State Firefighters’ and Fire Marshals’ Association of Texas. CSB’s complete analysis is presented in Section 8.

The location of the WFC relative to the surrounding community exacerbated the offsite consequences, leading CSB to assess whether other FGAN storage facilities could pose significant offsite risks. CSB’s analysis shows that the risk to the public from a catastrophic incident exists at least within the state of Texas, if not more broadly. For example, 19 other Texas facilities storing more than 10,000 pounds of FGAN are located within 0.5 miles of a school, hospital, or nursing home, raising concerns that an incident with offsite consequences of this magnitude could happen again. Section 9 explores the connection between land use planning and offsite consequences.

I was just at a little facility that sold commercial gases of various types anything dangerous you could possibly drive into had huge bollards protecting them. How did this place have critical valves in the path of idiot's trucks??

I don't know exactly what he was filling up. But the truck was backing up to the tank to be filled and just backed up too far.

What he's saying is the location engineering is supposed to be such that for the normal truck, there shouldn't be a physical way to strike anything easily shearable like a valve or pipe. Like someone backing up too far is guaranteed so you better make it so backing up isn't done going towards important things without a bollard in the way.

Heck, Houston doesn't exactly pay much heed to zoning either. Part of the gridlock issue in that city is commercial businesses being opened up in residential neighborhoods due to a lack of needing a zoning permit, or at least that's my understanding.

I don't know where I heard the phrase 'Every safety regulation is written in blood' but it's really true. Just remember that every time you hear about 'job killing regulations' and think what that means about the person saying it.

Unless you're talking zoning for voting purposes, then they make byzantine octopus shaped districts that only cover the republican voters
