"In fact, the fingerprint powder was found to contain up to 7 percent asbestos, the variety of which has been proven to be capable of causing lung cancer later in life from only a single exposure."

without lawn darts this list is incomplete

A lot of these in Chicago are at train crossings. When the train gates come down, a "NO RIGHT TURN" sign lights up. (Black box at the top of the post here: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.07674…)

The autobahn has no speed limit and car go very quickly either... Is it a racetrack? Does that mean you can stick on someone's bumper like this?

There is something that can be said for over-slowing for a yellow and stacking up. It seems like the cars they came upon suddenly were no where near the flagger or the incident and virtually stopped.

No...If I'm remembering correctly, Mordor was for Sauron?

just another Robbie pilot doing stupid things. Wire strike kit wouldn't have done anything in this situation. Helicopter usually stay away from power lines and usually fly over the poles since you can easily see them.

I like how that guy was directing the chopper like "Go over this way where all the power lines are!"

Those wire strike kits only work with some decent forward speed. During a slow approach like this one they wouldn't have done a thing. This pilot really needed to pay better attention to his surroundings. I was always taught that if there are two poles there's likely a line strung between them.

As this is in South Africa, I would guess that the chopper is privately owned by a friend / relative and is likely used for (very large) ranch / agricultural purposes.

Why can't America ever have nice things? What did we ever do to Japan?

This will only work for something wider than the F-150 hitting them. Once something is that wide, it probably weighs enough that these tiny tubes are going to be useless.

It's like we are speaking from the same brain. Man, do I get angry. I have storm chased, but I learned. I am a Meteorologist. I did it for my education, not to make a buck. I don't anymore because I'm normally at work. It's the EXTREME, profitting... I won't elaborate that make me just sick and angry. Really, really…

I just did a standing clap on your comment! Very well said, sir. Very well said.

Those bars are actually there just to protect against brush or small limbs. They're supposed to keep them from smacking directly into the windshield, but you're correct, they won't protect against, oh I don't know, flying cows a la Twister.

Oh boy. My favorite. Tornado chasers. "Oh, I help the local communities by calling in the tornado." Yeah, 80 of you calling it in? That helps. Don't get me started.

i would put an overbuilt roll cage around the outside of the cab. those bars over the front ain't gonna protect jack squat.

And that's why an independent driving system should always be maintained on self-driving cars that takes priority. Basically, if there is anything outside of the dataset of the routing system (animals, pedestrians, human driven cars, etc.), that system takes control in order to avoid a collision and those deviations…

Exactly. As a culmination in self-driving cars, the idea is that communication would allow for cars to share their routes and location in order for them to agree or even be managed by a separate digital entity such that a minor slowing in speed along the route at key points would allow for constant movement along the…
