Was on a cherry picker inside a food processing plant, directly over the heater bin which does exactly what it sounds like it does, when the lift decided to start stuttering and eventually stop responding to controls from in the bucket. Guys on the ground showed up and were kind of able to swing the bucket away from the heater bin, but couldn't lower us to the ground and we didn't have access to transfer to a different lift or set up a ladder, so the trainee and I got to spend an hour cooking in a 112 degree bucket waiting for the repair guy before we got approval to deviate from regular fall protection rules and just climb down across the various bins and structures. I don't remember why it tripped, but it turns out there was a circuit breaker just inside one of the panels we could have kept hitting to slowly drop down

I guess a lot of sites treat it as a double failure and don't especially plan for it but what happens if your cherry picker stops responding and someone is hanging outside the basket in fall pro? I've always seen work at height permits require a rescue method for this which is generally a second cherry picker or a scissor lift or sometime as the least an elaborate ladder plan. I guess that's when you finally call the fire department.

they all have manual release valves to prevent exactly this. this is just an untrained crew using poo poo they probably shouldn't be using, but thanks to capitalism their boss needed them there now, so training be damned.

Our safety guy's training on scissor lifts was 'it drives like a car' That sounds like hyperbole, but it's not He was forced to take some actual training himself and to develop a training curriculum to be approved by corporate safety dudes after someone accidentally dropped the rails down on one of our scissor lifts and had a subsequent panic attack while elevated because she no longer had any railings to hold onto So, yes, exactly

Uh-oh. I just finished reading A Time to Die about Kursk: https://www.amazon.com/Time-Die-Untold-Story-Tragedy-ebook/dp/B000XUBE34/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Time+to+die&qid=1619130522&sr=8-7 It's very good. I remember seeing news about it back then and having hope since apparently they were communicating by knocking on the hull. Unfortunately it was all BS. Kursk was at like 100m and they couldn't get anyone out, these guys are way more hosed unfortunately .

I'm not a mythbuster or a ATF Agent, but how much tannerite is too much for a gender reveal? 80lbs sounds like a bit much to announce that your fetus has a biological resemblance of a gender. Apparently the story is in New Hampshire a bunch of Cis weirdos decided to recreate tunguska in order to announce their baby having gentials and the explosion was strong enough to crack foundations near the quarry they decided to do it in and could be heard in a neighboring new england state. JFC, we are one step away from someone dropping "its a boy" on a foreign nation as a declaration of mutually assured destruction.

Yeah the "foundation cracking" is bullshit unless the stuff is being set off directly next to the foundation. Just people trying to do insurance fraud for cracking caused by ice or natural settling. It's like how whenever the Air Force does flybys for events/airshows/whatever (or if a airliner calls a hijack alert because a passenger got drunk and is trying to get into the cockpit) they get a bunch of people claiming the noise "broke their windows", even though they don't do supersonic flights for those, and supersonic flights won't break windows unless the aircraft is extremely low. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtAElaDVz8

Sagebrush posted:and chlorine from the salt. don't forget about the chlorine The chlorine gas is a little academic since a major fire takes about 2 minutes to fill a submarine with enough smoke to make breathing impossible without an air supplied respirator, which is why submarines drill to have everyone onboard in breathing protection in under a minute. The Bonefish's captain saved a sailor by putting his emergency breathing device on the unconscious sailor then fighting his way through smoke to the escape hatch, by feel, since it was impossible to see anything.
