I used to work in a small-midsize public arena/convention center and our best ever time for getting people out when someone set the alarm off was a little over 20 minutes, and that was for only like 200 people.

The public is insanely dumb and stubborn.

Everyone's likely seen the crash video of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961, what you probably don't know is a lot of people survived the impact but then drowned because a bunch of people inflated their life jackets inside the aircraft even though they'd been told not to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Airlines_Flight_961#Fate_of_the_passengers_and_crew

quote:

Many of the passengers survived the initial crash, but they had disregarded or did not hear Leul's warning not to inflate their life jackets inside the aircraft, causing them to be pushed against the ceiling of the fuselage by the inflated life jackets when water flooded in. Unable to escape, they drowned. An estimated 60 to 80 passengers, strapped to their seats, presumably drowned.

Whenever I'm on an airplane I quietly resent the assholes who don't pay attention to the safety drill, because those people are going to get me killed even if I survive a crash.

Video evidence is weird. You almost always either need an admission "yeah that's me in the video", a witness "yes, I was there and I did a formal, court-approved identification procedure and that's him in the video" or absolutely picture-perfect quality where a jury is sure that's the defendant in the video and other independent evidence that the act took place.

I was on a jury for a murder trial last year that involved a lot of neighborhood surveillance cameras and cop bodycam footage. The surveillance camera footage was several hours-long videos with only a few minutes of each that were relevant (the rest just boring neighborhood stuff) and the bodycam footage had only a few minutes that we were allowed to watch*. In order for it to be reviewed in the jury room they had to bring in the DVDs and a bailiff to stop and start the DVD player at the right times. Someone on the jury asked the judge if there was a better way to handle this, and apparently editing everything down to the few minutes of admissible video wasn't an option since the DVDs were burned from the cameras using approved software so they were the only official copy that could be used.



*Turns out the reason that only a few minutes of the bodycams were admissible is because most of the rest consisted of a shitload of bystanders telling the police "it was [defendent], I see him around here all of the time and he is definitely the one who shot up the neighborhood and murdered that guy," but they all refused to come in to court.

I know glove chat was a page ago, but I wanted to chime in. I wear these all of the time when I'm working (heavy duty mechanic), and it is seriously night and day from not having any gloves in terms of minor nicks, cuts, and scrapes. And they're form fitting enough that doing electrical wiring, or tiny little screws is rarely an issue. The few times they've gotten caught they just tear away, so I'm not really worried about getting my hand pulled into something. I've gotten so used to wearing them that now it feels weird to even open my tool box bare handed, let alone work on something.

They won't protect from like hammer blows, or heavy poo poo falling on them, but for 90% of the little minor injuries they are amazing, while sacrificing almost no dexterity or sensitivity.

A friend's coworker did a number on the back of her left hand with a grinder, like "is that bone? Oh poo poo!" bad. The gloves, they did nothing.

Still probably better to wear them while grinding than not.

Yeah anything that goes through steel is gonna do a number on gloves. But they do give you that fraction of a second to pull your hand away before you lose any skin. Sometimes. Um. Sucks about your coworker. I worked with a guy who was using one with a cutoff disc and no gloves. Also he didn't have the guard on it. Ended up with like nine stitches, and no permanent nerve damage somehow.

One of the only firms at the Word Trade Center to take evacuations seriously was Morgan Stanley, thanks mostly to head of security Rick Rescorla and his security staff. Rescorla drilled everyone on evacuations and on 9/11, after the first plane hit Tower 2, disregarded a stay in place order and evacuated Morgan Stanley from tower 1 and WTC 5.

When the second plane hit, Morgan Stanley was mostly already evacuated from the building, and only suffered 10 casualties, Rick Rescorla and most of his security staff among them.

If you think you should evacuate, and you safely can, loving go.

One of the only times you should not evacuate is during an Earthquake. If there is an Earthquake, get under a solid desk or table and ride it out; many deaths are from people getting hit by falling bricks and the like, and the strongest motions occur in the first 5-10 seconds. Only leave the building if you see evidence of fire or flooding from broken pipes *after* the shaking stops, and be aware of unstable buildings and downed power lines.
