Indeed. A Soviet plane crashed, and killed more than 10 Admirals, because they had not secured several large rolls of paper and they shifted when the plane was rolling for takeoff.
Forgot to tether the nose. Happens all too often loading and unloading MD11's and DC10's. We used to joke that the pilot dropped his wallet out the cockpit window, lol.
My son had a couple of those. When I replaced the power tubes in one of them there were dimples in the glass envelope where the glass had been sucked in when they got really hot. But what set the speakers on fire?
#2 I've seen that in person. Honda/Acura twin wishbone suspension connects the hub to the lower wishbone with a balljoint. When the ball joint fails, or the nut comes off, the spring is no longer connected to the wheel. It has nothing to do with the driver. #8 On a cargo plane the front pallet is the first in and the last out or she'll sit on her tail. The first company I worked for learned that lesson the hard way, thankfully I was working for my 2nd employer so I could laugh my ass off. #9 Pete Townshend was here. Al_in_Ottawa
Hi Budd, the cargo door in a freighter aircraft is set back far enough for one pallet (two in a wide body) to be in front of it. Here's an ad for a DC-10 freighter with a loading plan. You can put two containers, max weight of 15,000lbs combined in front of the cargo door. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/McDonnell-Douglas-DC-10-30-Freighter-For-Sale.html?soid=1102673403687&aid=VpdDt6kvlrM I worked on a 727-100 combi. Take an '87 Suzuki Sidekick, remove the wheels and place it 4x4 timber on an aluminum pallet and it will slide in with inches to spare. Al_in_Ottawa
9) One time I was on stage at a big venue in Seattle pounding on my bass with my band back in the day. We were on our last tune of our set and we were the headlining act so I was just giving it my all. You know, I thought I was Johnny Rockstar and getting into it. The crowd started to focus on me and I thought, hell yes...I'm getting it. I thought I heard my sound kinda fading in and out but I chalked it up to me just moving so much that it was just my ears playing tricks on me. We finish the song...the crowd goes wild...I turn around to say something to the drummer...and bam! My amp head was actually on fire. Not just smoking but full on engulfed in flames. The crowd thought it was part of the show. Nope. So there I was nonchalant and all trying to unplug that charred out wreck without setting myself and the whole stage on fire. Yeah. Not good.
#8 Be glad that load shifted before you took off.
ReplyDeleteNah, just too much pasta.

Delete#10 What I would like to see,
ReplyDeleteis the vehicle that hit the brick mailbox
#3: Is that an Emotional Support crane?
ReplyDeleteheh
Delete#4: Bake Bread Better?
ReplyDelete#4 - Maybe cut back on the leavening? And proper kneading/resting would probably help too.
ReplyDeleteMeh - stuff it full of meat.
DeleteOver proofed.
DeleteI am thinking that the gremlins ate the center out of the loaf and resealed the end.
Delete#9 Feedback loop?
ReplyDelete9: must be a Motorhead concert...
ReplyDeleteThe Who - in 1975 ?

Unless there's a side door, the front pallet has to be the first in & last out. How else do you get to it?

9 - This is what one looks like when it actually goes to 11.
ReplyDelete#10 There is an old song about a train wreck where the train pulled off on the side branch was too long. I don't think it was Casey Jones but maybe.
ReplyDelete#10 could be the one where the driver sued and lost!
ReplyDelete#3. Even the crane couldn't get it up.
