Landmark Implosion--Giant Demolition (37 secs)

gorgonheap says...

Actually most buildings (including the WTC). Are designed to implode in the case of a collapse. It just makes a demo teams job easier. Or in the case of 9/11. It was a safety precaution so that if the buildings were to fall they wouldn't destroy others on thier way to to ground. That's been code ever since the building of the Empire State building when concerns were brought up during construction about what to do if the weight of the building caused a collapse.

Non-Lethal Weapon? The A.D.S. Heat Gun

michie says...

from wiki -

The effects of this radio frequency on humans have been studied by the military for years, and much, but not all, of the research has been published openly in peer reviewed journals. A listing of many of these articles can be found on the military Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program website on the ADS page.

Controversy as to the methodology of testing, in which volunteers were asked to remove glasses, contact lenses and metallic objects that could cause hot spots, has raised concerns as to whether the device would remain true to its purpose of non-lethal temporary incapacitation if used in the field where safety precautions would not be taken. Proponents of the system claim that these tests were early in the program and part of a thorough and methodical process to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the technology, which has now involved more than 600 volunteer subjects and some 10,200 exposures. As safety was demonstrated in each step of the process, restrictions were removed and now, according to ADS proponents, there are no restrictions or precautions necessary for volunteers experiencing the effect.

Critics cite that although the stated intent of the ADS is to be a non-lethal device designed to temporarily incapacitate, easy modifications or incorrect use by the operator could turn the ADS in to a torture device that would violate international conventions on warfare.

Another Reason Why Guns Should Not Be Given To Idiots...

oohahh says...

Just for kicks, let's review our gun safety rules:

1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
* Know your target and what is beyond.
* Know how to use the gun safely.
* Be sure the gun is safe to operate.
* Use only the correct ammunition for your gun.
* Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate.
* Never use alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription or other drugs before or while shooting.
* Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons.
* Be aware that certain types of guns and many shooting activities require additional safety precautions.

See http://www.nrahq.org/education/guide.asp for pretty pictures of these rules.

Determining which rules this kid and his parent failed to follow will be left as an exercise for the viewer. ;-)
