So that's what it looks like when a driver uses scissors maneuver to change lanes.

Maybe it depends on the specific helicopter or skill of the pilot, but it's more than just a chance, here is someone doing it on purpose for a demonstration.

As long as you have a suitably flat site nearby, which is not always the case. If your engine fails when you're at low altitude above an urban area or forest, at night, in heavy winds then safety goes straight out of window and you're lucky if you can walk away from the wreck.

For whatever reason, Soviet aircraft carriers don't use catapults. Instead, they have a ski-jump-like ramp at the end of their flight deck:

quote:

A French police sniper has accidentally shot and injured two people during a speech by President Francois Hollande in western France.

The shot was fired as the officer moved position on a roof about 100m (328ft) from a tent where Mr Hollande was speaking in the town of Villognon.

The bullet went through the canvas of the tent, where drinks were being made. It passed through a waiter's thigh and lodged in another person's calf.

The injuries were not life-threatening.

One local report said the safety catch of the sniper's weapon was unlocked, allowing the gun to be discharged accidentally.

it would have been pretty anticlimactic if WW3 started because a policeman accidentally killed the president of a nuclear power

It's not heated, only used in summer, so pipes would freeze and break during winter, not to mention that the church is on a desolate island so there's no infrastructure to provide pressurized water for sprinklers, anyway the only likely causes of fire would be candles, incense and lightning, and as it is well known, God protects his own :angel:

My theory on this one is that's a mannequin or something and it's a joke photo. There's no way that guy's holding the other dude and, if he is, there is no way he's getting back up. Also as the other guy said what the gently caress is he supposed to be measuring??

If he was holding him like that he would just fall out of his pants, unless that's actually an overall under the jacket. It still might be real photo taken for shits and giggles but there'd have to be some cables holding him up.

FYI the video was recorded as a lark (a shell without a fuse won't explode if you drop it or bang it with a hammer). Which is troubling because at this point there's three kinds of videos coming out of Russia:

1) those that feature people climbing on skyscrapers with no safety ropes (and somehow not falling while the camera is rolling),
2) those that feature horrible accidents or soon to be accidents and
3) those that feature a parody of one of the former

and we have no way of telling which is which.

Alright, there's also

4) Dogs travelling on subway.

Have escalators actually killed anyone in Western countries? (in the last 25 years or so)

It's seems like it's always China when these things happen.

While the victims in these cases survived (although in one case there was concern that the leg might have to be amputated because it was so hosed up) they happened in Stockholm separated by only 7 months

https://www.thelocal.se/20150216/broken-leg-causes-39-escalator-meltdown

https://www.thelocal.se/20150910/womans-leg-gets-stuck-in-stockholm-escalator

now Stockholm has a population of ~800k. China has over a hundred cities in the 1 million - 2 million range, and 20 cities with a population larger than Sweden. PRC has a population almost twice the size of Europe (including Siberia) and about five times that of USA. What I'm getting at with this is that while China has terrible safety and building standards, they probably also have more escalators than anyone else. And if a city like Stockholm can have two catastrophic escalator failures within a year then you might expect China to have at least a few hundred such failures even if they had the same safety standards as the Swedes.

In fact, I think I read somewhere that the "number of people who've died in elevators in the last 25 years" or whatever statistic is skewed by the dozen or so poor bastards who died when the WTC elevators fell on 9/11 because the plane(s) cut their all the cables simultaneously, that aside from them and elevator technicians it's near zero.

That can't be true. Peoples loose clothes such as scarfs get caught between the doors suffocating them, or they are transporting something large (furniture, trash cans) that gets jammed against the door and crushes the person. In EU inner elevator doors have been mandatory since 1999 but only for new elevators, older than that and this can happen. Brief googling reveals that there have been at least three elevator deaths just in Finland around 1996-2002.

Today I got to witness the most OSHA scene in my life when a truck driver nearly killed himself. It was at a construction yard where due to cramped space they have to unload trucks at the side of a narrow road. There are traffic controllers to let traffic only to one direction at a time.



The above truck is being unloaded from the side, but the one that had the mishap was being unloaded by a tower crane, so the roofs of the trailer and truck's rear were opened for unloading. To be able to open the roof the driver first needs to open the rear doors. You are supposed to fix the opened doors to their place on the sides of the truck so wind doesn't close them, but this is often ignored. Of course today was windy...



So what happened was the driver had opened the rear trailer roof and now was getting the truck's cargo ready. Then the wind caught on the right rear door and I would like to imagine it slammed to the driver's face, to which he reacted by going to reopen it. Meanwhile one of the traffic controllers, not seeing what was going on between the truck and its trailer, let a car pass the truck, and BAM! the door hit the car's side mirror (which fell off) and then slammed with great force right into the driver's face! It could have been really bad (the trucker had no helmet) but this time the trucker got away with a black eye and some headache, he was taken for a checkup at hospital but was deemed to be okay.
