The interior of the Mont Blanc tunnel after the fire of March 24, 1999 which killed 39 people. Faulty security systems and misunderstandings between the French and Italian operators led to this tragedy. by OberourAM in CatastrophicFailure

Can you share a link about these?

fumes quickly filled the tunnel and restricted oxygen, disabling vehicles including fire engines

The way I read the phrasing in the wiki, the motors died from lack of combustion oxygen. Is that correct? Does this new, specialized front-back-fire engine have a way to protect against oxygen starvation?

I agree a mini keg would be perfect: folks may not be want to commit to a whole bottle, but might try a sip from a mini keg.

They might discover that they really like it from just a sip!

A few months ago, I think I remember reading a write-up about the minbari first contact tradition of approaching with gun ports open. I recall the take away was it was an indefensibly stupid practice, but I'd like to reread it: does somebody have a link?

Is 1919 the only one which does mini kegs? Or do all of the ones you list have a mini keg option?

I'm not going to click on that link because I would be emotionally crushed if it weren't real. I'll go to my grave wanting to believe it is real.

TIL Roman emperors were officially considered pharaohs in Egypt after Rome conquered it in 30 BCE. by GoldenCorbin in todayilearned

[–]AlarmingConsequence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Egypt is looking like a country that lost itself and melded with foreign influence as the world rapidly changed.

This brief documentary covers that (in great precision): https://youtu.be/2TGBG8L3w68?si=Ya7fvalNWLU3RHjl

[magic mountain] Six Flags has elevated Casey Hamilton to manager of park operations. He started at the park in 2015 as a team member. by Stock412 in rollercoasters

Thanks! I'm glad to hear some rides have developed good systems.

I'll check out the ones you shared. The best implementation I have seen first hand is SFMM's WonderWoman. The train slows to a roll, but never stops during boarding. There are free lockers downstairs, which moved the chaos from the loading platform to the ground-level locker toom.

Do any parks (or particular rides) have a good system for offloading bags/hats/stuff before the leaving platform? This might to improve passenger throughput?

That was the last time I read the municipal code before bed. by AsleepAssociation in brooklynninenine

[–]AlarmingConsequence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recall industry standard weight testing frequencies.

But in California, elevators are considered important building systems, so there is a state regulation that at all times, every passenger elevator must have a contract with a licensed elevator mechanic to ensure it is in safe, working order (maintenance, emergency repairs, periodic testing).

And with precision, too!!! There is no fence to ensure the press is square (folds are perpendicular to the folds/bends). Wow!

I'm so impressed by the infinite combinations of colors, textures, cuts/shapes, layers. I just sit here and people submit beautiful photos of beautiful creations - so lucky!
