I know y'all don't like selfies. I tried to crop it down to eliminate that to some degree.
Anyway, I didn't wear my goggles when working on a C-130 Fuel line that wasn't properly drained before opening it. I can tell you first hand... this shit burns. Getting your eyes flushed out with rubber contacts that prevent you from closing your eyes is no party either.
What's the point? Always wear your protective gear. You never know what's gonna go wrong.
Polemik
It's always an eye-watering experience to see people hurt like this.
Welcometoyouredoom
Bet you got a DSV for your squadron.. and probably an LOR.. put that PPE on homie.. that's why it's in your box.

So glad it wasn't parasitic eye worms.

"That'll never happen to me..." I've had about 3 guys crushed in my organization when they didn't lock out the machines.

We carry those eye flushers at my hospital but I've never seen them in action. Neat! Sorry for your agony, friend.
markptw
I opened a fuel line without glasses on once and got Jet A-1 in my eye. Spent 30 mins flushing it out. Shitty for sure.

I still have both of my eyes because of safety glasses. A heavy steel door swung open on my machine, and the corner cut a gouge in them...

Woah dude that's intense. I bet your bumhole could make diamonds bc of how much you clenched

What's up with C130s drenching people in fuel? I'm in the Army, and this makes no sense.

Because no matter how much you drain the auxiliary tanks there's always going to be fuel left on the door or on the foam

I feel sorry for you. - C-130 crew chief.
redronin911
As a crew chief from a tiny lawn dart - how long does a PR/BPO take on that massive thing? Does 1 guy do it?
RoyFuckingMustang
I've only done a combo by myself one time. Normally it is 2-4 people. One outside&gears, one in cargo, one in flight deck. 2 hours is 1/2
RoyFuckingMustang
the normal time. It all depends on whether is needs flap/gear lube or any other random MX. 2/2
redronin911
I wasn't even thinking about the cargo! I would hate doing the top. Is there a bunch of stuff in the gear? (Filters/pumps/etc)

It takes a slow guy 30-45min to do one on ours haha it takes me 20.

Does electricity make you bleed though?

Can certainly make you stop bleeding. Like, the good bleeding - in your arteries and shit. Your heart. It stops your heart.

SaltyAsshole
People tend to bleed from the secondary injuries from shock, I bleed quite a bit when I took a 2 story fall from being 19 and stupid.

Have you ever seen what happens to someone that gets blasted by plasma from a fried 480 circuit?

Yes, absolutely it does. Electrical shock can cause a burn at point of contact if high enough voltage+current.

Which is why I wonder how our species survived that long

By learming from others mistakes or our own non fatal ones. And with enlightened thinking and philosophy.
