I understand the heavy lift business is really booming. Too bad Antonov didn't need and build more of those.

0 4. mitimeter commented 8 years ago on video BULLETPROOF GLASS - What will it STOP?

Most people know the way to get through bullet resistant glass is to keep hitting the same spot. Bullet proof is strong language, without some kind of a qualifier attached. Hitting this with a .308 when it has already been compromised isn't much of a test. Hit it with the .308 first! How many hits in the same spot with a given caliber is about the only real way to rate bullet resistance.

Nothing like taking a nice long overnight hike into the woods, setting up camp, catching some fish, and preparing to cook a nice twilight dinner!

#2 Um, no. We didn't have anything so advanced. Try page after page of handwritten 8080 machine code, with a 2 rows of switches (think Altair and IMSAI). The output was a row of LEDs. At least they had gotten away from the incandescent bulbs. Eventually my friends and I graduated to teletype machines with paper tape. In college after high school, we built logic circuits using vacuum tubes. In college several years later, our HP computers used 180kb 8" floppys. That was hot stuff then!

#3 I understand things like this are relatively common in cities with very old infrastructure. Accumulated gas (natural and sewer - about the same but different sources)and steam pipe breaks. Think New York City!

+1 18. mitimeter commented 8 years ago on video Gigantic Explosion at Chinese Chemical Plant

I'm no firefighter, but it's been my observation in life and in industrial survival training, has been that the main use of water is a situation like that is to cool down a tank that has not exploded yet. It will cool and run away to make room for more cold water. It has limited application as a fog or fine mist on the fire part to absorb heat from the flame. Foam goes down low on the base of the fire to cut the oxygen supply. Are there any PROFESSIONAL firefighters paying attention who actually know about this stuff. If so please correct or comment!
