The crappy construction and OSHA threads seem to have switched focus for the moment.

Some brutalist buildings are acceptable from the outside, but I’ve never seen one I’d like to live or work in.

Yeah, the congregation of the Third Church of Christ, Scientist in DC really disliked their brutalist church building and eventually got it demolished in spite of critics liking it. It was a big sore point downtown for years, often made it into the WaPo.

Person C goes to help and collapses. Turns out that it was a cocktail of hydrogen sulphide and methane that got them. Ventilate your confined spaces, people.

I can top that.

I was home one day several years ago and had the TV on. The local news broke in with live footage from Dallas. Some lunatic had stolen a lumber truck and was being chased by police. It went on for over an hour. The driver is nuts, but he's also amazing skilled in handling a big rig. Some of the stunts he pulls off are things an 18-wheeler just shouldn't be able to do. And yes, the truck is on fire for most of the video.

That magnificent bastard is probably still in jail.

"Man gets 99 years for stealing 18-wheeler"
Published: Friday, June 28, 2002

DALLAS (AP) — An unemployed truck driver has received a 99-year prison term for stealing a tractor-trailer rig loaded with lumber and leading authorities on a 90-minute chase through Dallas as the truck's cargo caught fire.

Burnice Wilson received the sentence Thursday from a Dallas County jury for the Nov. 7 robbery following a three-day trial and more than two hours of jury deliberation.

Yeah, apparently the USN keeps tabs every few years on the radiation levels around the Thresher and Scorpion wreck areas, and things seem pretty well doused over the decades.

Lie in wait at a cloverleaf and hack approaching cars.
Scare the gently caress out of the driver.
Tell them to throw out their spare change as they pass the cloverleaf.

Oh drat, you can actually see the ignition source. For whatever reason 2 cars park infront of the station, the second one is a bit hard to spot behind the trees. It's the second car which is the ignition source, you can see the flames first explode from under the car.

Now I'm morbidly curious what happend to the occupants of those 2 cars since I don't see anyone leaving the first car at any point...
