I gotta call bullshit on that. I don't think you can shatter a safety glass car window by tossing a bottle at it back handed. Looks staged to me. (Don't get me wrong, I hate lierers too.)
The thing about tempered glass is though it can be very tough and resilient, it can be surprisingly fragile in certain ways. A couple of weaknesses are that a strike on the edge is much easier to break it. And another is a hit with something hard and on a small area. For example a spring loaded punch that's sharp, or those glass breakers with a little piece of carbide. Some thieves use a broken piece of spark plug porcelain and throw it at a window to break in. So a glass bottle isn't a huge stretch.
It isn't suspended by the bright cable in the middle. It is suspended by the four cables on each end. Look closer and you will see the dark cables on the end. I had to do a double take to catch them.
According to the Michael Palin travel videos (Around the World in 80 Days) in Hong Kong they can load 125/hr. In Madras they load 25/hr because they don't pay "speed money". That's probably pretty accurate because Michael Palin is awesome.
10: FAFO. Looks like he hit a small container of something (gasoline?) flammable. Probably was expecting it to go UP. Um, gravity, baby!! Probably not more than 10% 3rd degree burns on legs/arms/face. Adequate penalty.
1. Reminds me of a buddy of mine from work. Mike was your typical big strong pollock, nicest guy you'd ever meet. And the stories... After work he'd buy a couple of 40 ouncers and drink 'em both before he got home. It'd take him around 45 minutes on the highway to get home. And one time he thought a cop was chasing him- lights and sirens in the rear view, and thinking the window was rolled down, he did just that, except the window didn't break and the beer went everywhere. Turns out the siren and lights were from an ambulance. The way he'd tell it, you'd damn near die from laughing so hard. -lg

ReplyDeleteI HATE litterers.
I had to watch a few times to see what the deal was. I thought it might have something to do with his stupid tat.

DeleteI was expecting him to crash since he wasn't able to see where he was going.

#6 - how does that crane stay straight? It never twists, and I have no idea why not.
ReplyDeleteJohn G.
You've never seen a dock crane loading/unloading containers? Even in videos?

DeleteI believe the visible yellow cable is an electric cable that engages and disengages the dogs that lock onto the upper framework of the containers.
DeleteI wonder what's considered an average loading speed for containers?

No problem at all--you can be sure that righteous rat rod is riding on air bags, he can raise and lower it at will, as and when needed.

ReplyDelete#5- Was that an Asian driver? Just curious-
Happy what happened to # 1. Any person who served in military knows all about picking up litter. I have little use for such entitled people.
