Woman, 21, dies after being thrown from Brazil rope jump bridge without harness

Reply in thread

That was mundanely horrific.

By that I mean it was mundane until the realization of what was wrong.

Everybody was calm. Everybody was having a good time. Everybody was doing their role.

That is, until the realization occurs.

Someone missed a step. Someone didn't do a final safety check. Three people just threw a woman off a cliff.

And the rope was still coiled on the ground.

That's gonna haunt me. I really wish I didn't watch that.

Yesterday I literally had to count 14 thousand pounds of fire extinguishers (as in count each extinguisher in a bunch of crates), one of my coworkers came over and said "Why don't you just use AI to count them." They then pulled out their phone, took a picture, asked AI to count them, and was off buy almost 60% on the first crate. Then went "oh, well that's just one example,"

They then tried 4 more times, being between 75% and 50% off each time. They then went "Oh, well, ummm, nevermind." and wandered off again.

(I had to count the extinguishers to make a Bill of Lading for them for shipping them out, you need an accurate count otherwise it will be held by the shipping company until you provide a correct BoL with the correct count due to legal reasons. I couldn't just weigh them and divide the total wieght by the weight of a single extinguisher as they were a bunch of different sizes mixed together. NGL it was the easiest money I've ever made at the at job.)
