IIRC it's this. They can't pronounce on them, but you also don't want a EMT or fireman or whatever putting themselves at risk of being injured if it's very clear to all bystanders that there is no head attached to the torso.

Yeah, and unless it’s so impossibly beyond life that there’s no other option, they get to phone the ER doc and describe in gruesome detail what they’re looking at so the doc can pronounce them from afar. It’s pretty awesome for all parties involved (my wife is an ER doc and gets to deal with this poo poo exactly, and it’s hard on her, and she knows it’s worse for the EMT)

The first call I ever made like this was about a month or so after I got my EMT license, and it went something like this:

Me: "We've got a mid-forties male patient, zero pulse, zero BP, zero respirations. Pedestrian versus pickup truck at about 75mph, and, um. He's all twisted up like a washcloth? His rear end and his face are pointing the same direction? I think he's dead?"
Doc: "Yeah, that sounds pretty dead to me. 1950." *click*

That sounds like a best case scenario. The most recent one I (didn't) hear about was pretty rough to the point that the EMT called back again later after everything had spun down in order to "debrief" even though that isn't really a thing, I guess it was some young kid and maybe her dad, obviously I have no specifics to provide but it was a traumatic mess and shitted up everyone's week real good and thorough.

I work in search and rescue, and with us at least, doing a debrief after a rough call is absolutely a thing. We have a critical incident stress management peer team that comes in to have a talk with us, explaining what kind of response we might have to a traumatic incident, and giving us time and space to talk about what we had just gone through. I've received phone calls a few days after the debrief, where the team member is just checking in to see how I'm feeling.
It's a nice change from the old system of just prescribing tryactin. "Looks like you could use a tryactin: Try actin' like a man"

Oh, for sure, that's good and should absolutely be normal. This was more just "two coworkers commiserating over an ugly situation and calling it a debriefing so they feel comfortable talking it out." There's a bit of "wow, that was bad" and some mutual "we did the right thing" and so on. And it's not out of line, it just sucks that anyone has to deal with it. A team dedicated to providing and supporting that sort of conversation would be amazing, but I suspect it's less common outside of groups that are way more likely to find ugly situations like S&R is. Could be the EMTs have that baked into their system, I couldn't say. The ER physicians might, but that would certainly depend on the specific hospital and I've never heard about it there, dealing with that stuff just seems to be "part of the job."

Both of those stories are incredible. Also the one where the nuclear battery got stolen from a lighthouse in russia, the thieves dropped it cause it's loving hot, then it proceeded to melt through sea ice to meet all the car batteries down there.

nuclear stuff is a very practical way to, for example, melt water from the mars polar ice caps, we could then drop a dookie rocket into the puddle (as fertilizer) and then an algae rocket (to eat dookie/make oxygen)

I’ve been known to drop a dookie rocket or two in my time

How close were they really? It didn't seem that close but I'm not good at judging distance in the air.

When you’re falling at a hundred miles an hour and don’t notice the lawnmower blades until you’ve zipped past them and it’s obvious the pilot of said blades didn’t notice you either, and thus it’s just blind luck that you missed at all, I’d say it’s “close enough.”

The holy poo poo is both “wow that was close” but also “nobody had any conscious input into the outcome of that situation”

It's been said that if you tried to introduce the gasoline-powered car today, you'd never get approval without a load of safety regulations including trained and licensed operators, wearing full ppe including respirators.
I mean aside from the respirator, technically all of that is in place.

And as for the respirator, I've been known to change my cabin air filter, uhh, once, so I'm calling that box checked.

You say tomb, but what are the odds of, say, a dungeon? Any chance of a dragon?

Are we talking modern excavation techniques or maybe something more like, oh, faux-medieval fantasy tech? Is your crew going to be using picks and shovels? This could take months or years if so, depending on the size of your crew.

Do you have access to anything like Stone to Mud or Earthshape or similar?

I think the person who mentioned Bagger has the right of it, and if the aforementioned rapidly annihilative localized anomaly can be situated at the back of the conveyor, the question of how to handle tailings is effectively moot. This assumes, of course, that the contents excavated are of absolutely no concern.
