3rd world country..check. This was not just one manufacturing defect. Clearly the main flywheel that grips the cables broke free from the gear box, but electrical sensors failed (door operation when in motion) and emergency brakes which trigger when wheels on the carriage spin to fast (ie not based on a computer triggering system) all failed or never existed to begin with.

On Cable TV. Now go watch some commercials.

the interdimensional cable episodes of Rick and Morty are some of my favorites. had no idea that subreddit existed. thanks

To be fair, it does have multiple steel cables underneath the wood.

that's what i thought first, too. it's actually something on his earphone cables.

@newtboy

i do not think your solutions will have the easy results you imply.

contrary to the propaganda WE are fed,groups like ISIS are far more sophisticated and culturally savvy,as this video is evidence to and one of the reasons i posted.

it is easy to buy into the media-concocted trope that ISIS members are a bunch of un-educated,backwater,third world countrymen who are just religious zealots pining for the good old days of a world caliphate from 700 years ago.

but to believe that you would have to ignore the disturbing number of westerners who are joining ISIS.these folks benefited from western,secular education etc etc.

religion,like nationalism,has always been an extremely effective tool to manipulate,control and justify.

islam is not the cause of violence,barbarity and war.
it is the excuse used to justify that violence and barbarity.

the simple and disturbing truth is that propaganda works,nationalism works,religiousity works to get normal folk to engage in violent acts against their fellow man.

america has been perfecting their propaganda system for over a century.perfecting their art of unending war and conflict.

considering how we have injected ourselves in the middle east since the 50's.it appears our middle eastern friends have learned from us,and become quite proficient at emulating the very thing we excel at.

so you would never see this on any cable tv channel or news outlet,but i think its important to see just how well they have become at utilizing media to get across their message.

using americas great gift to the world:marketing.

*quality cable routing

Well that sucks. Only his dad gets to shoot the blasters?

Meh, didn't do much against the AT-ATs anyways. Hope he gets to fire the tow cable.

It seemed like they were all marching in step. I wonder if they just happened to march in the same frequency that the bridge naturally resonates in, causing a feedback/amplification that over stressed the cable, or if it was simple cable failure for other reasons.
Either way, I'm glad no one was hurt (according to the TV piece I saw about this). It could have been far worse.

Here in Canada Sportsnet, the cable channel that broadcasts Bluejays games, runs a program called Bluejays in 30, which is the days game edited down to 30 minutes. Quite handy for those that can't invest 3 hours every day to watch the whole games.

First of all, who would sit there for 3 hours and watch that?! How do you even know who is winning?

Second, someone needs to hang a cable cam, or fly a drone (can't believe I just suggested that) right over the X. I would love to see a top down view of those passes.

It's one of Clark's best novels. I'm excited to see the (cable) film adaptation. I hope they take the story to its wild conclusion.

They map our streets, the tops of our houses, give us instant search on the internet, soon most everywhere (hopefully) THE internet and cable... now soon they will be assessing how much money your sunlight is worth...

Respect that cable management.
