#9) Worked in a foundry. Guy working second shift went out fishing and fell asleep in the boat without a shirt on. Came into work looking like that. Pouring steel sucked for him for a few days.
I was working in a foundry and had to go to work with a sunburn like that. Luckily, I was working the swing shift as a millwright. They were still casting when I arrived and getting anywhere close to the pour was painful. Hell, even putting on clothes hurt!
Can someone explain #10. How did thin metal make a perfect cut through a laminated windshield and blow out a back window and, I'm assuming remove a head and head rest as well. And to top it off the car doesn't appear to have crashed after
Right-hand drive so, the driver would not have been hit. Probably no passenger since there isn't any blood splatter or gore on the windshield and the metal.
Notice the steering wheel is on the wrong side. So it's either UK or a former colony like Aussie. Hopefully, no passengers and no injuries.
The steel is very rigid length-ways because its corrugated. It would slice through the car doors and roof if it's moving fast enough.
My theory? The car followed the truck too close. The steel slide off a truck under way. The end of the steel landed on the hood of the car. The car slowed as the steel fed off the truck, but not quickly enough. When the front end of the steel fell off the truck, it caught against the road and the car launched the steel back and up through the car.
The steel entered from the rear- you can see the framework of a trailer behind the car- I would guess that corrugated was being stacked on the trailer (you can see a panel still on the ground)- the second panel was placed on top of the first and pushed from the back- nested panels slide very easily against each other- panel 2 kept going right through the car- also, photos can be reversed, so not necessarily a RH drive vehicle-
Possibly South Africa since it's a Chevy (Holden is the GM brand in Australia) and the landscape is parched. It looks like the far end of the sheet is on a roof rack so did it slide forward due to hard braking/rear end collision and enter through the rear window? There's also a sheet on the ground visible under the car's left mirror. Al_in_Ottawa
Worked a crash in 1980 where a guy in a pickup hauling a trailer load of steel head oned with a cab over Mack. The steel kept moving right through under the Cab slicing the driver into deli meat. Basically everything from his hips to his shoulders went missing. Dude was drunk. I and a couple of others picked the sheets apart wiping the remains into a bucket.
Thanx for all the clarifying input. I saved the Pic reversed it. Now it looks like a pickup truck with a roof rack rear ended the car and the metal slid off of the rack through the car. It makes much more sense reversed
A situation like #5 killed my son's friend in Decatur, Texas many years ago when the stone dislodged on the highway at 70MPH and went through the kid's windshield.
Happened to me on a building site and I couldn't remove the stone. I slowly crept the very few miles back to base on backroads. Amazingly it was gone when I arrived.
Corrugated steel is incredibly strong when driving into it head on. There is probably a lot more to this photo but if you have ever been around after a tornado touched down, you’d understand. This may have been a controlled test cuz of it were real, there would be human juice all over that thing
#4 I used to work at a factory that made those nozzles, hoses and breakaways. The car owner is lucky the breakaway didn't beat the hell out of his car.
Went river rafting in truck inner-tubes with a gang of friends years back. One guy was kind of fat, and when he put his butt into the tube it compressed his stomach... at the end of the day he (like the rest of us was lobster-red...but he had this pure pale white diamond shape around his navel..... funny as hell.
1. On target. Fire for effect. 5. Drove a dump truck at a limestone quarry for a several years. That happens fairly regularly. Also why we checked our tires several times a day.
9 I've been the whitest guy on the beach and redest when leaving 10 When your wife gets real quiet all a sudden do you pull over or continue driving in peace?
I knew a doctor (now gone) who had a clinic near Blacks Beach in San Diego. This is a clothing optional beach that would get its share of tourists, including some who had spent the summer at other beaches. He laughed, talking about deeply tanned visitors who forgot that a strip, or two, had not spent a summer in the sun. Second degree sun burns on their nether regions were not uncommon. They were not as amused as he was.
#2 My old mum did much the same thing when leaving the hairdresser at the local mall. Hit the throttle straight into the welfare office window. The salon workers come out "Are you alright love? now get yourself off home, must have been those damn skateboarders again

Does pouring steel ever not suck?

DeleteI was burnt purple after a day at the beach. Went to work in the open hearth . Peeled for about 3 days. Can not recommend.

It is Right-hand Drive, so the Driver may have been okay

Delete#1: Is that a babe in LA who just took a rubber bullet between the peepers?
ReplyDeleteThe infobabe in LA took a rubber bullet to the ankle. The babe in #1 took birdshit to the noggin.

#1 looks like a reasonably large bird unloaded on her head. With that mop, she’s going to have fun cleaning it up
ReplyDeleteI could be missing something
