    Wow. Crazy how a split second can change everything. Sorry you and others are having to go through that.

    Safety has definitely taken a step back the past few years. At least from what I’ve seen. People are acting like zombies…

    Tragic. Almost never just one failure in situations like these - wishing peace and healing to those impacted.

    Props to you guys that work from home! I've had a go at it this week not by choice but some other life circumstances and is not as easy as I thought. Now I do have 2 small kiddos running around that I also have to keep an eye on during some parts of the day which has made it challenging. Good thing I don't have a set time that I have to work and can get caught back up after everyone goes to bed and before everyone wakes up in the morning. It is nice that I haven't spent $100 on gas this week.

    That’s horrible; and you’re right that’ll effect many, many lives for those around them and the operator themselves for their livelihood.

    Yeah, I've been around too many work accidents. The injured guy and his family are obviously affected. But the guy that injured him, the folks around when it happened...
    Hope the injury is recoverable.

    So true. I've spent four decades working in two Navy programs that have evolved because of multiple failures resulting in one catastrophic event. The link below details one, but short summary is that eight different things occurred. None of which if it only occurred without the others would have resulted in the loss of lives. I've been fortunate enough to have become good friends with the government lead on the investigation and change implementation for this particular incident. Sadly he passed a few years ago. But he influenced my thinking as a production oriented guy. For the better.

    It sucks when another day at the office becomes a life changing event. Like you, wishing peace and healing to those impacted.

    I'm thinking he didn't survive, at least that's how I read it.

    I remember very vividly the day I watch my dad almost come to his demise trying to help my uncle unload a stupid heavy safe off the back of a flatbed tow truck………
    Everyday I try think about what I’m doing before I execute it.

    Understand. It became a tangent. @Leo's first I'm truly sorry you had to experience that. Also more sorry for the driver and his family.
    Positive post to follow.

    I had some really good sushi last week. No pictures because I don't want to sit at the sushi bar with a camera. Our Jasmine is in full bloom and the fragrance is permeating the house and the yard. Lightning bugs are lighting up the yard. My asshole rescue dog is learning his boundaries thanks to modern wireless electronics. No EV information to report.

    Makes it feel like the used LC we just got was a bargain. I don’t even want to think about dealer mark-ups…
