The water out of sockets, reminded me of what a friend once accomplished.🤣 He claims he is a brilliant and schooled gas fitter. So he bought his house. And decided that it needed a bit of restoration. He connected the waterpipes on the gas pipes and the other way around. They both have completely different dimensions so people can't mess it up. He couldn't understand why it didn't fit. So he fabricated his own connections to make all the different sizes fit. He didn't noticed what he had done. When he opened the water tap gas was coming out. He smelled the gas but didn't turn of the tap because he thought that he forget to turn on the main water supply. What wasn't the case. So he left home with the gas flowing freely out of the tap. When his wife came home she smelled the gas and noticed the smell came out of the tap and closed it. When he came home he denied that it was possible that the gas came out of the tap. Days they didn't had water and he could not find out why. After a few days she wanted to start a fire in there gas powered fireplace. The fireplaces filled with water. So she called him and told him that she leaves the house until he tells what's going on. He still didn't realised that he mixed up the water and gas pipes. It took him an other day before realising with the help of an other gas fitter to realise what he had done. Until this day he still won't admit that he did anything wrong. And that he is a brilliant and schooled gas fitter. After the incident his wife asked if we can check out his education. Turned out he done a school for gas fitting but was so bad at it. That on his paper was written that he was so bad that all he was certified to do was handing out the pipes and only the ones require by the actual workers😂😂🤣🤣

[@nobody7817]

Well... I mean... he's NOT wrong--- It DOES take a certain level of skill to fit water and gas pipes together in such a way that they don't even leak... Granted, they might not work--but they went together and they didn't leak. I was told to splice two communication fibers together. I worked on this project for MONTHS when it should have taken only a few hours to accomplish. I FINALLY got it--but when I did, I noticed one side said SM the other MM. It was similar to what your friend did. I had spliced multi-mode and single mode fiber together (sort of what your pipe fitting friend did), which would never pass a signal. It wasn't my design, and I was told they were the same diameter, so I didn't question it. (This was a Military Engineer's mistake--but I became the butt of the jokes because I actually succeeded in splicing them together!).

[@nobody7817]

So to clarify, diameter is the same overall, but the inner core (the polished part) is microscopic and you should look at the cable to tell the core diameter--which I didn't do because I was told to get this done and do it now. When it kept failing, I thought It was incompetence on my part and I was feeling really rather dumb. I guess, in a huge way it was... but the fibers that were ran SHOULD have matched anyway, so someone made a huge mistake before I did... it was one blunder after another...

To give some context to 2:04 those tracks were close to Kaikoura where the quake was named after, even though it happened in the town of Waiau. Anyway via car it's almost 83 km (approx 52 miles) by road, so 1-1 1/2 hours travel time. This quake was shallow at only 15 km (9 miles) deep & lasted 2 mins but first surveys indicated ruptures on at least six faults, later & more detailed studies confirmed ruptures on twenty-five faults. This is considered a world record for the greatest number of faults to rupture in a single earthquake. It was huge I was living in Auckland which is the third of the North Island at that time. I felt it while I was reading in bed but I can honestly say I felt each of those two mins. We didn't know what had, happened because where I was we just didn't get many felt quakes. But then via FB I saw reports, then more then a deluge & I wento onto geonet where anything quake or volcanic related is & the country is swarming with dots saying people felt it so what I thought was nothing was huge. But in saying all that, reading, railway, engineers, anyone needed traveled as far as needed to get the road & rail links up & flowing again. When I went down about two months after for a fundraising rally at Waiau, they were not far off finishing at least part of the road. It took a wee while for the rest but they all did good & I've still got my singles that I bought that weekend as part of my forever memories. Oh & the quake was 7.8 in our scale.

#1 - The 'melty tracks' issue is not an engineering fail - it's sloppy work by the installers. #2 - The train crossing the road isn't necessarily an engineering fail - different countries enact different standards for safety, and it's unlikely that that rail line could have been installed as it was if it didn't conform to the local safety standards. That one just seems to me to be more of a case of shockingly lax safety standards. #3 - the "disney death ray" - architecture fail, not an engineering fail. #4 - how does the destruction of a crumbling, decrepit building count as an engineering fail? #5 - the "groverhaus" - not an engineering failure since it was in no way engineered - or even designed, really. #6 - that one was an engineering fail, but not in the design of the house (mostly). That one's a civil engineering fail on the part of the civ eng's who should have had more control built into the flow of that river. That said, yeah, they still shouldn't have built that house there anyway. #7 - how is that an engineering fail, given that nothing failed? They used a round object as the form for an arch. it worked. #8 - the bridge is an architecture failure. on and on and on - I think this guy just doesn't understand what engineering is, since none of these things were engineering fails. Design fails, sure - but design and engineering are not the same thing. An engineering fail, for example, is when the designer of a bridge calculates the expected load, selects the geometry and materials to make the bridge, and it collapses because he screwed up his engineering calculations. In my engineering courses we had to study a LOT of engineering failures, to learn from them. This video is an "engineering fail" failure.

04:00 Until a few years ago, Interstate 60 (across the south end of Springfield Missouri, had train tracks running across it. The speed limit on the freeway was 60 mph. Thankfully, there were signs, lights, and gates that stopped traffic before the train approached. That has since been corrected.

I once subletted a small house from a friend. I needed a cheap rent. It began as an addition onto a singlewide trailer. Later the trailer was dragged away and an addition built onto the addition! Half the house was one huge livingroom, with big double doors at front and back. It at one time was used as a drive-through auto workshop. The tiny kitchen was in the back half, then a tiny bathroom, so small I literally had to step over the toilet to enter or leave the shower. Then a small bedroom (with no closet) completed it. The livingroom had one very tiny propane heater about the size of a toasteroven. Useless even in our North Florida winters. No fridge, I borrowed an old Coke machine with the sloped shelves for Coke bottles. It worked okay. 🎉😂
