Nah, that's the latest crossfit craze, ladder runs. You get a big extension ladder, rest it up against something in the ceiling, then balance the bottom of the ladder on a medicine ball or a stack of weight plates. Climb up it as fast as you can, touch the bar in the ceiling, then hop down every other rung while clapping your hands. Do this 10 times, then gently caress off home, leaving everything set up exactly as it is, because you're a massive dickhead.

I feed a few Maggies so I don't get swooped and they are pretty chill stuffing around having fun in the yard and sprinkler. But one of the motherfuckers likes to sit outside my bedroom and imitate my alarm clock. 1 hour before I need to get up.

well, an electric helicopter must need a pretty big battery to stay aloft. a white paper published and then pulled down had the detail of the estimated maximum safe flight time: fifteen minutes

If you want an OSHA-laden show to watch, try Canada's Worst Handyman. It's a show where they take people who are extremely bad at DIY and home repairs (either because they're scared to learn how to be self-sufficient or they think they're amazing but are actually incompetent and dangerous) and have them try to complete basic home renovation and repair challenges as you marvel at how bad they are.

The show would be less entertaining if the contestants actually improved their skills in any way, which is probably why they didn't do that

Yeah it's terrifying because you imagine it being a tube that gets a lot smaller as it goes, and water pressure builds up on top of you after you discover it.... aaaaaaaagh.

I'm horribly claustrophobic. Like my worst nightmare is getting stuck in a cave or hole like that guy posted a while back.

Ok so I looked up this incident because I was curious about what I thought I saw on the runway, and turns out my suspicions were correct. This is the north end of 52F, Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke, Texas:



In the satellite photo we can see the road perpendicular to the runway and the white fence, confirming that the airplane was landing on runway 17 (flying south). The relevant markings here are the yellow bar and white arrows. The yellow centerline denotes that the beginning of the paved surface is a taxiway, and may not be used for any takeoff or landing operations. That is, you need to taxi up to the solid yellow demarcation bar before starting your takeoff roll. The yellow bar followed by the white arrows is what's called a "displaced threshold" -- this is a segment of the runway that cannot be landed on. You can start your takeoff roll in the displaced threshold, or you can use it in the opposite direction for your landing rollout, but you need to touch down after the heavy white line that represents the beginning of the runway landing area. Displaced thresholds are common when there are obstacles at the approach end of the runway that would make it unsafe to land right at the start of the pavement, such as trees, berms, fences, or roads. By moving the touchdown point down the runway, you raise the approach enough to keep clear of things on the ground.

In order to clip the car, the plane's wheels had to be about 6 feet off the ground as he came over the road. That's already in ground effect, already in the landing flare, way too soon to touch down beyond the threshold. You can see from his shadow that he barely clears the fence, too. He probably would have landed on the taxiway segment. Some basic math shows that if he'd been on a standard 3-degree glide slope aimed directly for the numbers, he would have been 35 feet in the air when crossing the road, not 6.

It was a student pilot, but he still should have known better. Students get trained and tested on runway markings before they're allowed to fly solo. This one is total pilot error, unfortunately.


You will notice on the satellite view that both ends of your runway also have the displaced threshold markings.


Well, the pilots are supposed to be able to fly their plane to avoid clipping things on the ground. On a checkride you have to demonstrate the techniques required to land on a shortened runway and steepen your approach to avoid obstacles. I think the sign is more to prevent drivers from being startled when a plane suddenly roars over their car. But coming to a stop so that you don't pass directly underneath the airplane, just in case something goes wrong, is probably a good idea.
