I heard on the radio this morning today was the 25th anniversary of the Challenger Disaster. I figured I would throw this up today, not only for the commemoration, but also as a tribute to my fellow artist and friend Jason Kofke, who was very much influenced by this disaster, which he witnessed on television as a young boy.
The base image for this piece was found on google, crushed down to the approximate dimensions of a cut scene from a video game, and then recolored pixel by pixel. The resulting image was then accidentally pasted into a color-indexed PNG file, which resulted in the odd dithering you see. I would like to know how to do this myself, so if anyone (Max Capacity? Do you know?) could tell me that would be great. Otherwise, I'll just have to keep filtering these through my existing png images.
Oh no!! It's... pirates!
[This expression is called bikkuri. Apparently it originated from the black and white manga format where quick and concise communication of emotions was needed. It is now widely used in anime].
snuck this in somewhere between the earthquake and hurricane here in NYC...the bronx STILL has spots that look like this believe it or not
Memorial to the 57 men killed in the explosion in the Banbury seam at No.4 Pit, Sneyd Colliery, Burslem, 1st January 1942. It also commemorates the rescue teams who worked to try to save them and also recover the bodies. The official cause of the disaster was found to be that tubs had derailed and damaged an electric cable. Subsequent sparking has ignited coal dust and precipitated the explosion.
Cool your beans my son
You look a fucking mess
No ones getting out of here tonight
Hit that button there
The one that just says wrong
We'll lose our minds to all our favourite songs
(sooc + more in comments)
I leave tomorrow. I'm going to miss this fabulous light.
explored, thank you.
Site of the Eastland Disaster -On July 24, 1915, the ship rolled over onto her side while tied to a dock in the Chicago River.. A total of 844 passengers and crew were killed in what was the largest loss of life from a single shipwreck on the Great Lakes
The Chernobyl disaster, also referred to as the Chernobyl accident, was a catastrophic nuclear accident. It occurred on 26 April 1986 in the No.4 light water graphite moderated reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, a town in northern Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic which was part of the Soviet Union (USSR).
The event occurred during a late-night safety test which simulated a station blackout power-failure and in which safety systems were deliberately turned off. A combination of inherent reactor design flaws and the reactor operators arranging the core in a manner contrary to the checklist for the test, eventually resulted in uncontrolled reaction conditions. Water flashed into steam generating a destructive steam explosion and a subsequent open-air graphite fire.This fire produced considerable updrafts for about nine days. These lofted plumes of fission products into the atmosphere. The estimated radioactive inventory that was released during this very hot fire phase approximately equalled in magnitude the airborne fission products released in the initial destructive explosion.Practically all of this radioactive material would then go on to fall-out/precipitate onto much of the surface of the western USSR and Europe.
The Chernobyl accident dominates the energy accidents sub-category, of most disastrous nuclear power plant accident in history, both in terms of cost and casualties. It is one of only two nuclear energy accidents classified as a level 7 event (the maximum classification) on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011. The struggle to safeguard against scenarios which were, at many times falsely, perceived as having the potential for greater catastrophe and the later decontamination efforts of the surroundings, ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles.
During the accident, blast effects caused 2 deaths within the facility, later 134 were hospitalized with acute radiation symptoms, of which 28 firemen and employees died in the days-to-months afterward from the effects of acute radiation syndrome, in addition, approximately 14 cancer deaths amongst this group of initially hospitalized survivors was to follow within the next ten years(1996) Whilst among the wider population, an excess of 15 childhood thyroid cancer deaths had been documented as of 2011. It will take further time and investigative funding to definitively determine the elevated relative risk of cancer amongst both the surviving employees and the population at large.
The remains of the No.4 reactor building were enclosed in a large cover which was named the "Object Shelter". It is often known as the sarcophagus, and its purpose is to reduce the spread of radioactivity from the wreckage and to protect the wreckage from the elements. It was finished in December 1986 at a time when what was left of the reactor was entering the cold shut-down phase; the enclosure was not intended as a radiation shield, but was built quickly as occupational safety for the crews of the other undamaged reactors at the power station, with No.3 continuing to produce electricity into 2000.
The accident motivated safety upgrades on all remaining Soviet-designed reactors in the RBMK (Chernobyl No.4) family, of which eleven continued to power electric grids as of 2013.
Great show by The Social Disaster at Grandma's Sports Garden, part of the Duluth Homegrown Music Fesitval 2016.
I love seeing and photographing shows by this band - great energy and music. Definitely check them out if they come to your town!
Luckily going slow enough as she crawled through Euxton on 13/09/18, a northbound 'Pendolino' passes LMS 45699 'Galatea' as the loco traverses the up slow line towards Balshaw Lane Station. The loco led the 1Z40/0553 Dumfries to Shrewsbury 'The Salopian Express 2', tailed by WCRC maroon 47746 'Chris Fudge'. Both front and rear locos made an impressive sound as they got the signal!...
People evacuate the city as rescuers try to get through the ruble to where people were working. Corner Manchester & Lichfield. The ruble from that building covers the street. A busy hairdressers was in there.
A truly sad day for the people of Christchurch and New Zealand.
Not all builds are meant to be carried downstairs and outside...
Thankfully this was on the return voyage.
Disaster !

On October 29, 2022, on Halloween Day, a disaster occurred in Itaewon.
Many people died or were injured.
In South Korea, there is still no punishment for those responsible for this disaster.
Most Koreans are still dissatisfied with the government.

psym'n spilled a FULL glass of coke down the front of my dress at ali's wedding reception.. it was gross, but also VERY funny ;p
What started with church services and a festive atmosphere ended in a watery grave. It was the 10th of August 1628, when Vasa, the most powerful warship in the Baltic, foundered in Stockholm harbour before the eyes of a large audience, scant minutes after setting sail for the first time.
It was mid-afternoon when at last it was time. After many delays, frustrations with the supply of guns, and a change of captain, the newly fitted out Vasa was anchored below the castle, with its cannon finally on board and the crew manning their stations. The quay was packed with people and the water teemed with small craft carrying people who wanted to watch the mighty war machine slip its moorings and sail from Stockholm.
