Presented without commentquote:"We did our best out there to do a rescue, recovery, to get the death pronounced before Thanksgiving Day,” he said, noting that rescuers rushed an EKG down into the cave to confirm Jones’ death before midnight turned the clock to Thanksgiving. “We hustled so it wouldn’t be a Thanksgiving memory for the family every year,” said Leavitt, a member of the Nutty Putty Cave Management team.

My dad and uncle for a while reloaded shot shells in quantity. I remember being a kid and they somehow recovered fired lead birdshot from specific places that were popular shooting spots in the desert, hundreds and hundreds of pounds of it. They would process the spend lead shot by tumbling it in a small cement mixer for several hours which (I was told) rounded out the lead shot that was pancaked and getting dirt and stuff off it, kind of like a big like a rock tumbler. I remember mentioning that the cloud coming out the front was "sparkly" and my dad casually mentioned I should try not to breathe too much of that in. For hours at a time, in my backyard. Pretty much one of these:

The whole Nutty Putty thing is so surreal so I'm ok with giving them credit for the small things. Imagine if you're that dude's wife and you got a call like "your husband is stuck in Nutty Putty. We can maybe get him out?" And you have to drive out to Nutty Putty to sing Mormon hymns with your brother in law and everyone slowly realizes he's not coming out before a 5 ft nothing volunteer cave rescuer comes out saying "caves haunted. Don't ask." Finishing up before Thanksgiving is a victory in that light. (Paraphrasing only slightly made up)

I don’t think making a deadly mistake makes one automatically stupid because there are other factors like peer/employer pressure, adrenaline, and missing/bad information that can overwhelm common sense. We were doing a safety stand down meeting because one guy lost a hand at a sister site and another guy lost a finger at a different site from LOTO violations and one of the new hires is a big macho guy who can talk for like a minute straight without taking a breath about how his tattoo is of '[Hebrew symbol] which means the bull which is the man of the house and the head of the family' etc, he pipes up 'wow those guys are idiots', and the regional manager is in the room and just death glares him and asks 'do you think they thought they were idiots before they got amputated?' It was a pretty lovely job but at least all our management except for our safety guy took safety seriously.

Saying something to the effect of 'This is the only rescue attempt where they were given a more or less healthy person who was just barely out of reach the whole time and they could do little more than wait.'

zedprime posted:I think part of that is their confidence means they tried every option to get him out without further injury until his circulation was completely failing. By the time they spitballed "what if we just mulch his arms" any shock would have immediately killed him. Not that anyone is nearly psychologically and physically equiped to even try that. I hadn't full considered that aspect, just extra hosed.

I was googling stuff about the cave and came across this Mormon family website that documents all of their outdoor adventures. https://dyeclan.com/outdooractivities/caving/?id=68 They have a whole happy page about the cave complete with pictures of the whole family crammed into it. Apparently it was "the most popular Boy Scout cave in Utah." They went twice just months before it closed.  Five stars.

Going back to paper-wrapped lead brick, I hope handling lead in solid form isn't really that bad because in the '70s and '80s I fuckin' did it all the time when fishing with my dad (lead fishing weights). Some of those weights were designed to be crimped onto the line, and if you didn't have pliers handy the easiest way to do that was to bite down on it. Edit: for bonus points we used to fish in this bay sometimes, but I don't think we ever ate any of those fish (even then we knew that bay was hosed, you could see orange slime/scum all over the place): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MvyUTeE5XM Number_6 fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Apr 16, 2021 |

Handling lead is totally safe as long as you aren't grinding or melting it, you wash your hands afterwards and you don't lick your fingers. In solid elemental form it doesn't go through your skin. Biting down on lead sinkers is somewhat...less safe.

Wrapping the lead shielding bricks is meaningful if you're going to be handling them for hours at a time all day at work, or whichever. Metallic lead doesn't do much but you inevitably get some oxides and salts just from reaction with air, moisture, and stuff on your skin, and it's worth avoiding.

Russian BT-5 or BT-7 tank. Those things were kinda notorious for actually having way too much zoom for a tank and being hard to drive. Seriously, imagine a trying to handle a 14 tonne vehicle with enough zoomies under the hood to get over 80 KPH on a decent road (and 50 KPH offroad). Fun as gently caress in War Thunder, especially in Arcade Mode where it gets more zoomies.
