xlr8tn Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I had a forklift battery explode one time. The cables had some exposed wire and when I was moving it into the lift the wires gounded out onto the body of the forklift. It arc welded a hole through the body of the lift and then exploded about 2 feet from me. I'm not sure about this particular person but I know for me I would've been running and dropping my underwear full of shit down a man hole.

Draco-REX Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 all the news media hype for a battery :lolguy: so who lied saying they smelled gun powder? someone reported they had an eye witness that saw someone running from CPD HQ jumping or dropping something down a man hole? wtf I doubt many people know what gunpowder smells like. Likely this person smelled the sulfur of the bad battery then after the explosion said they smelled gunpowder. Because what else could possibly explode? :dumb: I'm just surprise there wasn't a report of an assault rifle weilding gunman fresh off a 24 hour GTA5 binge reinacting some scene from a Michael Bay movie using a recipe found on Myspace, peppered by interviews of his family saying he was perfectly normal the day before.

I'm not sure about this particular person but I know for me I would've been running and dropping my underwear full of shit down a man hole. Sort of similar... I used to maintain remote weather stations in the military and my buddy was working on one when the battery exploded on him. It was surprisingly loud and left him with some hearing loss, just glad he was standing and not hunched over it. Not sure it would of merited a news story though.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was thinking it was just an excuse for OSU to test out their new MRAP. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/18/ohio-state-university-armored-truck_n_3949750.html I wonder when they'll announce the next tuition hike...

I read up on it on reddit, huffpo just happened to have the top link on google search. EDIT: and regardless of whose money bought it, it's absolutely retarded for a university to think it needs military equipment, forget about the fact that they'll need to spend more money training people to maintain and utilize it.

Versluis Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 The guy in the article from OSU PD stated.. "Columbus' local police force does not have a bomb squad." That is false, CFD has their own bomb squad that responds all over the city. I use to see them in a black one that seemed to be older when I would park at the Arc. I'm sure you will see this out during OSU games since the state highway patrol uses theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
