would say this is probably normal, but I've seen a vid where the glowing iron block flys out and hits a man

The question I always have when I see these massive steel shaping rigs which are also made of steel - is what did they use to make them in the first place?

This armored car thing feels like it would be relatively 'easy' (once) to get 'held up' and your shipment stolen.

Just don't plan it in the truck or through easily tracable medium? Hey friend, I will be making a shipment tomorrow from A to B if you happened to 'rob' me it would sure be a shame!

I'm also guessing that people pull off this kind of inside-man heist all of the time and then get caught with money they shouldn't have?

I watched a documentary about this happening once.

I went on a nature safari in Zambia many years ago and our guide had a story about how he accidentally antagonized the gently caress out of a black mamba in the dark (like stepped in it a few times) but it never actually bit him.

So Noticeable cracking 19 days before it fell down and they didn't stop construction? A lot of the famous bridge collapses people were mad because they noticed a crack a few hours before it fell down and didn't order everyone out.

Turns out the guy who's job it was to sound the alert about the cracking fell into the crack and disappeared.

Makes you think.

James Cameron has done some insanely good action movies: Aliens, Terminator 2, True Lies. The amount of work and set up involved in those movies is crazy and goes a long way to explain the insane budgets they had.

What's even more impressive is just how fast he was cranking them out.

Release dates:

Terminator 1 - October 26, 1984

Aliens 2 - July 18, 1986

The Abyss - August 9, 1989

Terminator 2 - July 3, 1991

True Lies - July 12, 1994

Titanic - December 19, 1997
