Ever wonder how much of a beating a shipping container can take? This recent mechanical failure from Poland was brought on by a large ship that suffered a mechanical failure and ended up poking the crane at the wrong place at the wrong time. But this is nothing compared to the mega-crane that fell in Russia.

Seems everybody made it out alive from this one, but quite smashed up. Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 15:23 on May 27, 2012 |

XK posted:First she said the truck cut her off, now she says the brakes on an effectively brand new Porsche failed and did nothing when she pressed them. I'm going to say yes, Lindsay Lohan qualifies. And the trucker says the bodyguard~etc people who followed her in an Escalade offered to take him straight to the bank for hush money, but he had already called for help.

I wonder if this was a mechanical failure, a failure by design to save people in the cabin in the event of a total frontal smashing, or if it's just something that happened by chance from from speeding, losing control, launching with a hard landing, continuing across school grounds before ending up in a sturdy fence.    The driver was in good enough condition to jump out and beat a random passer-by so bad he had to be taken to hospital. loving Sweden.

IOwnCalculus posted:Pretty sure it's this - a large part of dispersing the energy of an impact is now used to tear the drivetrain out of the car. Hit the mounts hard enough and the engine will usually want to go down and out, unlike older cars where it would just sit on the crossmember. This makes an excellent text-book example of it, thank you. The driver probably wanted to hear "DUDE THAT WAS SO COOL" from the random passer-by but got shunned.

 Mechanic  Potential failure: He's got an NSX. Never seen it on the streets and I'm praying it's been kept tasteful. Mental failure: Another local tuner has a Murcielago body-kit on something that sounds like a barely running tractor engine. Love my town.

From my observations in nothing but salt and sand Sweden I'm willing to say that your Mazda Numeral series have had cheaper manufacturing than ours. Need mid 90's and older to spot any rust at all unless it's a disaster of a model or a reborn wreck, my mothers 20 year old 323 gets jack for cleaning and service but it's fresh compared to the Mazdas posted here.

 Saw the driver pull out of that poor excuse of a drive-way with a sharp 4" drop from sidewalk to pavement with a nasty crunch one evening, now it's sat there like that for a week. That's gotta suck.
