Boosted Falcon

this is about the 4th time this has happend but only the trailer has gone over. but this time it was good! the entire rig went over...
anything happened like that at your work?

What the! Thats a bit cronic!

What would make that happen?!

How did that happen, mate?

I saw a BA wagon towing a trailor that had jacknifed on the South Eastern last night

trailer fully lifted with a bit of soda ash stuck up the top bit of wind KER SPLAT! lol i find it funny

I'll bet the driver doesn't

Would also be a bit scary if you were standing on the passenger side of the truck at the time....

lol unlucky, what i wanna know is why is is an Amezdroz and Son or should i say Whettenhalls truck doing with a semi tipper behind it lol? bloke at my work tipped over a sideloader like that a few months back.

contract for soda ash? idk im not a boss, lol how do you kno so much did you want to put an address in there aswell lol

A bloke at work had a nice length of swarf wrap around one of his fingers at about 400-500rpm and tore it up quite severely and damn near ripped the whole thing off and as per usual i had to do the drive to the hospital

not quite as exciting as the truck though, that must have made one hell of a bang!

the area gets marked off so no one can go near and the driver stands outside the truck,coz the controls are under the driver seat

I work 90% of the time on an amry barracks, where they do trank testing/driving, transporting and vehicle recovery

Tanks going through buildings, Trucks running over defence cars (BA/BF Farimonts), Landcruisers tipping over, tanks rolling over.

Iv yet to see someone shoot themselfs, but funnily enough no one trains with live rounds anymore, they have a massive simulation centre down here.

someone dropped a few dope plants out the back at my old work once, I took the good ones lol. Then there were the 2 half's of a 70's porsche something arather way down the back they sat there for months untill someone came and took them to pik a part for scrap metal.

The bloke with the big yard behind my old work sold a crop of mulch with asbestos in it to a winery and ruined their entire crop. Same bloke behind us piled up mulch soo high that it caught on fire from the inside and stayed on fire for several months, the CFA were out there every other week. Same bloke also didn't have permits for all the massive sheds on the land.

Then there were all the drug addicts who used to just wonder around out the back and the meth addict with the unregistered car who used to come steel copper wire from the power station thingies and from under the ground. I'd hate to know what went on in the early hours of the morning out the back, there was always rubbish and syringes and shit everywhere.

think only thing like that i can remember seeing is my dad driving the bobcat and lifting to much and falling forwards. but that was easy fixed. did however nearly roll backwards to and had a few cars on the edge of rolling in our efforts.

My old mans XR6T got stolen at work
Kents trying to rack stainless in broad daylight, he spotted them loading up a trailer, drove up to see WTF the deal was.
Had a chat to them, reckoned they had been asked to do it, so he rang the bloke who was in charge of the steel, said theyd have to wait till he got there.
They cracked the shits, got in the car, but my old mans car was blocking the gate.
They drove towards it, he thought they were gonna ram it, then one got out, and dad had left his keys in it.
Bloke jumped in, started it, reversed back to turn, almost hit the old man, then headed for the gate.
Dad was on the phone to the cops, while throwing pallets in front of his own car to try and stop them
Then he tried to close the gate and the **** almost hit him, burst through the gate, scratched dads front bar.
Found the car around the block, missing his laptop, change, and his cigarettes.
He was most pissed about his smokes.

My work is boring, I get amusement from bagging the regular truck drivers and making them fight amongst each other by starting rumours.
Good value, AAA+ fun.

intense

My department is pretty boring. However when I get to venture out to the rest of the hospital there is some pretty interesting stuff i.e psych ward, emergency and I have even been in the morgue! Pretty horrible but an experience and a half!

Haha some awesome stories. The most we get around here is when a customer sends a computer or a monitor back to us for repair and packs it extremely poorly. Imagine a computer monitor standing up in the bottom half of a mango box with the the address written on a bit of scrap paper then taped to the glass of the screen. That was couriered to us from a customer. I was amazed that the courier picked it up!

at my joint a $8m dollar heater (18.5m long, 2.5m diameter) was being loaded on the back of a extra large truck by two cranes and one of the cranes started slipping. nearly dropped and busted the whole thing. get a pic of the truck later, HUGE (just so you know a normal semi is 12m or something, large ones are 16m, ours was almost 20m long. took up 2 lanes on the road)

our headoffice server farm shut down because it overheated... they turned the air con off to clean it.
who knew it'd overheat in 8mins

One of our colo sites in Fortitude Valley lost power due to a nearby substation dieing. Site switched to generator, almost instantly the temperature started to rise to alarming levels. Turns out some building works had recently boxed the aircon condensor in so it was drawing airflow from the generator exhaust outlet.

Muppets.

Transformer in our building exploded a couple of weeks back and caught fire.

i broke a bit on the cnc router

nah today was funny, we're getting a new waterjet tomorrow so these guys from next door came over to move the old one out, they ended up with 2 4 ton forklifts trying to move this machine and **** they were rough

when they were getting the first forklift under it the guy just rammed the machine till it came up on the forks, then they busted a little cupboard mounted on a steel pillar.. however they eventually got it out..

was funny seeing this 4ton forklift with its backwheels barely touching the ground..

one of the trucks (about a month ago) slid about 150mtrs on its side down the highway and down a bank, fully loaded with chemist stuff. the good news was the driver was fine and only 2 boxes were damaged out of 64 pallets but they rejected all of it.

There was a homeless guy living in the roof of our shop for god knows how long.
One day the ceiling collapsed and this rank old dude smashed himself on the ground...
We just froze and said WTF???
lol Imagine an old bum dude just fall thru the ceiling. I'm surprised he never set off the alarm at night lol
