Conspire to violate federal mine safety standards resulting in the death of 29 people? Get a whole year in jail.

What a victory for safety.

It's used for emergency exit training. They cram the airframe with Chinese tourists and the flight staff has to keep them from opening the door for 45 minutes before they can get their Stewart certification. Apparently attrition rates are up there with Navy Seals.

They edited the hell out of the movie to get a better rating. All of Tony Shalhoub's weed references got removed too. Dude's character was stoned the entire time but it barely comes up, you just seem him squint-eyed and eating bags of doritos in every scene.

There's a shot of the train in High Noon, when it's on its final approach to the station, which is taken from the tracks in front of it. I remember seeing a documentary about the film claiming that something went wrong when they were filming that, and the train just ran over and destroyed the camera, but they were able to recover the film.

There were two people standing with the camera, and they all got away, but it was the one who was not actually filming who started to say, "I think it's not stopping," and the one who was that kept saying "it's fine, this is a great shot."

e: There's some great OSHA stories from those old films. A handful of people died filming the avalanche scene in Lost Horizon, achieved using the amazing practical effect of triggering a real loving avalanche, jesus christ.

Roundabouts are amazing and are safer even when people use them incorrectly. When used well they are a marvel of cultural development. Fight me.

Don't ask me why I think this, the phrase just feels right. Much better than "The Region" anyway.

Costco stores hoard their pallets in an empty trailer until it's full then some lucky route driver gets to take them back to the DC as his backhaul. Getting paid loaded mileage to carry a trailer that's barely got any weight in it like that is a good day.

goddamnedtwisto posted:

In fairness anywhere that stores pallets in bulk is basically a fire that hasn't happened yet, they're not only made of flammable material but are almost perfectly designed to get lots of air in once they start going.

Talk about foreign OSHA: scaffolding at a Chinese power plant construction site collapsed, killing at least 67. I wonder if we'll ever hear of the reason. Do they even have any kind of industrial accident investigations, or is life too cheap in China?

Installing/repairing guardrails will often require resetting posts, possibly digging new holes, and other processes that need fairly heavy equipment in often precarious positions. Consequently, it's often not an operation that can be done quickly or cheaply. It has to be planned, evaluated, signed off on by 15 different agencies, and finally budgeted for and scheduled.

In contrast, they can get the extra caution sign up there using two men in a pickup in an afternoon.

Even the modern schools in South Florida usually have at least a certain wing that can serve as a storm shelter - the entire music department in my high school (built in the 2000s) had no windows and thick walls.

The pipe goes through the U then the bolts hold the U and consequentially, the pipe, in place.

Instead the pipe is held in place by two tiny nuts.

Much like my posts.

Memento posted:

There's no such thing as an "accidental discharge". The term that article needs is negligent discharge. Guns don't go off unless you pull the trigger, unless they are so poorly maintained that they can go off if you drop them, which means it's negligent to be loading them in the first place. He's a police sniper so I'm going to assume a certain level of firearm competence in regards to knowing his rifle is broken to the point when it could go off from being dropped. So that idiot either had his finger on the trigger, or let it get caught on something sticking out, but either way the rifle going off is 100% his fault.

This is the best case scenario.

That said, you never know, maybe if you call OSHA, someone who would have died at work the next day will sit at home looking for a new job instead of getting killed by unsafe working conditions.

I think the handrail is actually a cavity in the wall, which is still a terrible idea, but in a different way.

There's a couple walls. Someone found a google maps of the place pre-explosion and used that and the timing of the destruction to calculate the shockwave velocity. The conclusion was that the guy probably got gibbed.
