Bow wowsers!

That would be something for the This Day In The Present thread.

I figured you'd know the difference between history and the present. You know everything else.

There were 44 people in that cable car when it fell 660 feet down a mountainside, then skidded another 330 feet before finally coming to a stop. Sometime during that fall, a 6,000 pound carriage assembly fell on top of the car, crushing it.

Of those 44 people, the only survivor was a 14 year old girl from Milan.

All of that shit will happen.

Because people.

Gravdigr · 04-30-2018, 04:21 PM

Not led to hydrogen being used a s a coolant.

Led the hydrogen which was already being used as a turbine coolant to leak from the turbine into the turbine hall.

Hydrogen's cold, y'know.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-30-2018, 04:54 PM

Not the turbine, the generator. They got that wrong. The turbine must cool slowly or it'll break.

Gravdigr · 05-01-2018, 03:54 PM

I assumed.

Yet another time that assuming has made an ass outta me.
