As far as the house on the outer banks going into the water, that’s nothing new on the NC barrier islands. I have lived here most of my life and every storm we lose homes to the sea on all the islands. It’s not climate change or anything like that. The barrier islands are just sand bars that are in constant motion. They lose sand on one end and gain it at the other. That’s the risk you take building on a piece of sand in a hurricane zone.

[@mi.dogman4438]

Thanks for stating that...we had a cottage in Kitty Hawk for 30 years. Saw many storms and hurricanes come and go. Just off the beach we had a sandbar, I would surf the different ends of it. North end the cottages were eventually eaten by the storms. We also had the sand fence up and year after years saw them slowly be covered and grin at our success. Here's a bit of history for ya. The original bridge made of wood, I can't recall now but around 24 wide by 16 thick. The man which started our cottage ( his first, never finished it ) had somehow acquired those beams as they took down the old bridge. Those beams were and are still under the cottage. We always laughed...( in fear ) of losing the cottage to a storm, " we if it does get that high, she'll likely float like a barge "...Back then...I could stand on the beach rd for 20 minutes in the summer and not see a car....sure has changed.

I understand why houses along shores are built on stilts - to allow surging waters to flow beneath the house structure. However if the storm surge is high enough or the wave action is strong enough, two things can happen. #1 the pilings are insufficiently strong enough to resist the wave action or #2 the surge height sufficient to float the house completely off the pilings.

Everyone in construction works job to job. In other words, you only have an income as long as there is work. When a catastrophic failure happens, they must start over from the beginning meaning there is more work and more money for them to earn. My cousin was in construction for years and every time they failed an inspection and had to do a redo he got more overtime pay. He once told me he got wealthy off the idiotic mistakes of his superiors. He retired a few years ago with $20 million in his retirement fund and he was nothing more than a master mason.

Yah, I used to go to the Outer Banks all the time. I remember the Hills. Huge sand dunes, a hundred feet high. Threw my girlfriend off a cliff. She got me back, pushed me off the cliff. Had a great time there for years. Went back not long ago and its so changed. What once was so impressive today is barely a mound. I asked a park ranger what the hell happened and they motioned out at the landscape. Houses. The sands were once carried by the two opposing winds going north and south. They met at the outer banks, hit one another and went out to sea, depositing the load of sand they carried and this built the islands, the dunes, the beaches. Today the landscape is covered with houses and businesses. The structures block the winds. The winds no longer carry the sands. The beaches now erode, the dunes now shrink to nothing. The islands disappear as the seas wash in to consume the sands.

I’ve only experienced one earthquake, and an extremely brief one at that, but it was weird. I was working in Istanbul, and I was taking a walk to a shopping mall near the hotel at the weekend when I staggered a bit and felt suddenly dizzy. It was only when I saw other people reacting similarly that I realised this had been a ground tremor. I’m just glad to live in the UK, where there are no earthquakes, volcanos, destructive tornadoes (we actually have more per square mile than the United States, but they barely raise the dust), bears, rattlesnakes or scorpions.

The right side stabiliser appears to have been been placed on very soft ground. It has probably sunk under the load.

[@brianb8516]

Usually those cranes have all sorts of safety devices to prevent concurrent overloads like that. But they would depend on a solid base under the outriggers.

[@richardcranium3579]

Nothing gave way. The crane was intact when it tipped. The crane was strongest in the front zone of operation between the two outriggers. As the operator rotated to the side the reach of the outriggers weren’t enough to overcome the weight of the load so it tipped. Lifting on the sides of most cranes is the weakest zone. Rearmount cranes lifting over the rear is the strongest zone using the vehicle as a counterweight.

[@3DPDK]

The thing about the North Carolina, Outer Banks beaches shrinking is not necessarily incorrect. The idea that it's due to rising sea levels is a total fabrication. The Outer Banks and every other beach from Florida to New Jersey *migrate* constantly northward up the coast. As one beach slowly disappears over a few decades another one grows a mile or so to the north of it. The reason it seems so devastating today is that people started building homes on these shifting sand beaches 70 to 80 years ago. One 5 mile long beach in North Carolina almost completely disappeared. As the dwindling beach moved northward, it looked like the entire island was being swallowed by the ocean, but in the last ten years or so the southern end of the island has reemerged growing wider every year being supplied with sands from the island a half mile to the south. These coastal barrier islands have been doing this since before Europeans ever set foot on the North American continent. I've lived on the East Coast all my life and I'm a professional sailor/licensed captain. Atlantic Ocean mean high tide levels haven't changed in 50 years. You can believe the hype if you want, I'll believe my eyes instead.

The issue on the Outer Banks has nothing to do with 'climate change'. The issue is beach erosion and it's been happening for centuries. The Outer Banks are very narrow with massive sounds behind them. They are actually shifting inward. But as they do, structures stay put. If they're close enough to the ocean, eventually they'll be in the ocean. They had to move the Cape Hatteras lighthouse inland back in the 90's before it fell in the ocean. The width of the O.B. fluctuates over time, but stay basically the same. It just moves. It's weird, but it has nothing to do with 'climate change'. If it did, houses all over the world would be falling into the ocean. It wouldn't just be happening on the Outer Banks.

That crane that fell carrying the tank situation was worse than narrator said.... If you look by the back side of the tank and right in front of the crane by the back corner as it's falling you can see a guy in black get crushed by stuff falling from crane which looked like counter weights for the crane! So announcer was wrong ppl were right there crushed

[@dwightschrute7021]

Very likely that truck was fixed again that week as well, and is back on the road, but perhaps they also figured that it was time to replace the brake linings as well.

As a P.H.D in Metaphorical Similes, I'd say it was more like 1/4, maybe 1/3 of a marble of science, if that. Think of the entire scientific community as a mason jar full of marbles... that satellite most likely couldn't have been any more than 1/2 of a marble. There have been way too many other scientific breakthroughs, and just interesting scientific discoveries, for any one single item to be a "Full Marble of Science". The only thing I might even come close to giving a full marble to, might be the 🪐V🚀 of the 60s.

Ill never forget the phone call that was “your grandparents backyard is falling down the cliff” (slow motion landslide) I saw it on day 2 and it had dropped 1m - ended up dropping by 8-10m in total. Cost their entire life savings plus donations from all 4 kids amounting a further $400,000 bucks on top of their life savings. Their insurance went “not our problem” Their neighbours insurance went “we will pay you the maximum we will cover you for” My grandparents were in their late 80s and 90s at the time… They had moved to the house to downsize due to their age not even a full year before it took everything they had.

[@catmoore2443]

So sorry for what happened to your grand parents. Hope they are ok . Hope the insurance company had a modicum of decency and morality to help . God bless .

[@budgiebreder]

@@catmoore2443 theyve both passed on now. The final 2-3 years of their lives were spent mucking around with dirt/health issues instead of at peace in retirement. The house was fully fixed but took a further 2 months to get signed off when they passed. So they didnt actually get to enjoy it “completed” the house was sold fairly quickly and the children each inherited a small part of what they paid to help fix it. But it was never gonna be worth what was spent on it. Insurance company lost about 20-40 policies as a result as all the family and as many friends as we told swapped to the company that the neighbours used who did come to the party with a sideways “loophole” which they didnt have to actually use.

Sinkholes are very common in China, due to its geological soil types and it being a major earthquake zone, plus extremes of continental weather, nevermind reclaimed land. China has a lot of CCTV like the UK, and people who use phone cameras a lot too, like us Brits do.
