    Bridge failure near Albany NY

    Memory error on my part. Shoe has firmly been inserted into mouth.

    Bridge failure near Albany NY

    Could even be an issue with the span builder or constructor, not the designers. Around a year ago we had a 44ft and a 22ft span show up as a single 66ft span. That was a long haul back to the manufacturer to be cut apart and modified to match the approved plans. Reputable manufacturer, but...

    Tourist submersible visiting the Titanic is missing Part 2

    In regards to the plastic view port, was this one piece, or two sandwiched together in a mirror orientation? I have seen photos, and a removed video, of the craft having a flat face view port held on by 4 fasteners with no bolted ring. Unsure if that was just a testing or transport piece as it...

    Air Bag Explosion

    Race cars also have custom form bucket seats, 5 and 6 point harnesses, flame suits, full helmets, and hans devices. Lets just throw all of that in production cars. Airbag problem solved and finally hitting that light pole at 70mph wont be too bad.

    Tourist submersible visting the Titanic is missing

    Likely as just one of their fail-safes. When it comes to life and death and you need to shed weight, drop the skids. Recover the vehicle upside down if you really have to. I'm sure they would have dunnage on hand to stop the sub from rocking on the platform after recovery.

    Tourist submersible visting the Titanic is missing

    Not very deep it doesn't, but near the surface and at above the surface it will. It's the text message(s) at the start of the mission I find off. 7:52:34 [top] clear for descent. Enjoy the ride. That one line reads to me like as soon as they are sealed in the sub, their communication turns...

    Tourist submersible visting the Titanic is missing

    Did the Titan not have radio coms? SMS only? I find it odd that they would begin communicating with the SMS before the descent has even begun. Unless they just simply avoided it, I'd assume they would at least have VLF. Precision guess work based on information provided by those of questionable...

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 16

    ...to renovate their property so long as it all fell in line with code and permits. Folio 02-3202-006-0670 Maybe it was nukeman who asked. *shrugs* Anyway, yeah, sidewalk is owned by Miami-Dade Public Works. Edit: If gold stars in Kindergarten were this easy to get, I might have gotten...

    Thermo, If I recall correctly, that sidewalk should be property of Miami-Dade Public Works. Precision guess work based on information provided by those of questionable knowledge

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 15

    For skilled crews, it's easy. For the lowest bidder, not so easy. Pages 62 top 64 of the class action suite do appear to show damage caused by removal of that sidewalk. Water would definitely penetrate CTS from these points. This area of the building wasn't in good condition going back to the...

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 15

    Keith, Which report from 10 years ago are you referring to? I'm assuming that'd be 2011? The Morabito report was 2018, so only 3 years prior to the collapse. Also the membrane was repaired/replaced, twice. Once in the 1990's, once in the mid 2000's. As far as how well of a job the crews did...

    Potential Disaster, 5G and Aircraft

    If it's any similar to blistering and delamination we see in motorsports, could simply be overheating issues from too high of tire pressure when cold. Heat wont transfer to the carcass as easily and when it does, the tire is then overinflated. Enough of those cycles and it'll easily start to...

    One who integrates processes, equipment, streamlines processes, so on and so forth. So yes, it's a fancy title for a clipboard warrior/consultant. However that's not what I am and don't know why it displays as that for me when under my profile it states Manufacturing - Metal Fabrication/Welding...

    Chapman or Champlain? You may be thinking of a compmetely different building, which would explain a lot. I hope your grip is good Keith 'cause I'm passing the crazy torch off to you.

    Maybe that's why stuff in Florida, south FL in particular gets messed up so much down here. Got your degree with straight c's? Have at least some "experience" on your resume? HERE'S YOUR PE LICENSE GOOD SIR. BETTER CARRY GOOD INSURANCE. Precision guess work based on information provided by...

    *raises hand* Teacher, I has question. If the southern wall was just a retaining wall and not a load bearing wall, why would a reinforced concrete wall need be built? Couldn't you just leave it at the steel sheet piles? Why have 2 retaining walls butting up together? Precision guess work based...

    @Optical, I don't believe Keith said it was post or pre-tensioned. Possibly in an old edited/deleted post, but I see no mention of that; anymore at least. However, Precision guess work based on information provided by those of questionable knowledge
