I can't quite tell but it doesn't seem like the top of the ladder is leaning against anything nor does it seem bottom of the ladder is against the wall under the railing so I want to know what they used to brace that, and what they tied it to.

Given the video itself I suppose the other thing to remember about more heavy duty forklifts is that your rear end, no matter how fat, isn't going to hold down poo poo if the backend wants to go up. Impossible to know what the counterweight in that lift actually was I guess (and it looked like a short but sudden drop of the front end played a part too) but the forklift I use was smaller than that one and has a 5,000 lb counterweight. Assuming they could even fit I could add maybe another fifth of that weight if every other employee we have around regularly climbed aboard. If a forklift is moving at all in literally any direction, whether that's a direction it should be moving in or not, there is basically nothing you can do to stop it.. Stay away from forklifts in motion or lifting things, people.

DiHK posted:That's what I don't get. Did they just not have ANY training? Do they not know that their piddly 300lbs hasn't got poo poo on a 2500 ton forklift. It's impossible to not sound like a dick saying this but given the language characters in the video date/time stamps I'd would say that its pretty likely no one involved had any proper training about forklifts beyond the lifting part at all.

Kennel posted:Plus it's very easy to make stupid decisions in split-second situations. Of course, I can hardly fault someone for something like that, but that's not the part I mean. Proper training for everyone there would have meant there wasn't anyone near that forklift, much less on the back of it.

I asked if they changed the bulbs, and they insisted that wasn't the issue. Three new bulbs later and the brake lights mysteriously worked again. They had been driving for WEEKS without working brake lights by this point. If only they had someone weighing down the back of the crane.

Mistle posted:You could hop in the China thread and read all about how those kinds of trucks are efficient roadkill makers and how that article exaggerates very little, if anything at all. There's a pretty big difference between certain kinds of trucks being especially deadly if they hit a person and a few hundred million drivers all being ready, willing, and able to grind someone into the pavement.

Mistle posted:I think you underestimate the forethought of Chinese drivers. It's not that they plan to go all Twisted Metal the moment they get behind a wheel, but that they see no moral conflict in re-running over a person repeatedly and using plausible deniability to avoid both lifetime injury payments and criminal intent jail time in exchange for a relative slap on the wrist and a one-time fine. A lot of it is instilled culture and common knowledge through community experience, like manners, rude gestures, the open/closed mouth when eating, and so on. I'm not saying that China doesn't have a massive deficit in road safety compared to North America due to things like cultural attitude, regulatory differences, car designs, or just regular inexperience in a car-based system. Nor am I saying that incidents described in the one article that gets linked over and over again didn't happen. What I'm saying is that in a nation with as many drivers as there are people in the USA an article saying the prevailing attitude of Chinese drivers is "Welp, better finish them off!" is probably not accurate, at best. Especially when combined with the demonstrable ability of western media to take stupid poo poo some bored teenagers did in Bumfuck, Nowhere in their own countries and hype it up as if it were some kind of emerging degenerate trend in our children.

Earned a trip down the toilet with those shenanigans, that one. Don't feel too bad because I believe that most spiders that you can find inside your house are pretty likely to die anyways if you move them outside.

I'm not really sure why that CSB video looks like the result of budget cuts. It's not the full report and when compared to the some of the other incidents they cover this one wasn't the result of problems arising in a single area from a single person but a site-wide series of events that none of the employees could have stopped with the equipment, procedures, and training they had. There's no point in showing the people, forklifts, or trucks moving at ground level because there were no problems with any of that. The problem was the floodwater spreading across the plant and reaching the generators and the truck refrigerators. There's no need to show someone driving a forklift through the flood.

Mistle posted:A facility had its hazardous stored components catch fire/explode and put the surrounding areas at risk. This is exactly what the CSB was designed to review. I'm not arguing about why they made the video  Just that it seems some people think that because this video wasn't a ground level animation of a specific incident with models of people it means that it's lower budgeted than their previous videos. Whether it is because of a lower budget or not, however, this incident required a different scale to show adequately.

DrBouvenstein posted:Wow, that flashing green is weird. In some countries (Canada, for one...maybe just Quebec? It's the only part of Canada I've driven in) a flashing green is a "protected green" and is the same as a green left turn arrow in the states, i.e. no one will be coming from the other direction, so just go on through, you have right of way. That may just be Quebec because here in Vancouver a flashing green light is an intersection that will always be green for traffic going straight through unless a pedestrian presses the button to cross. If you're turning left you'll still have to wait for cars from the opposite direction.
