A fanart of my buddy ReelSneakyFrogg (check her out on Twitch)'s TADC sona Luloop.

A marionet in rough wood, with horns and large hands. The strings connected to the boards hanging off from her back. But a big ol' sweetheart and people pleaser.

Do enjoy!

Replacing the regular TADC crew with friends from our own take called The Amazing Idiot Circus!

Here is the Pomni replacement of the group, @legendarytragedymentality's avatar Solthe, being shown The Void by Caine! I'm sure nothing bad will ever start from here on off!

Just a quick edit of a screenshot from the pilot of TADC, with a pencil sketch and some digital colouring.

Do enjoy!

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission has published its report on the February 2017 accident in Port Chalmers, Dunedin, on board the passenger cruise ship Emerald Princess, in which a nitrogen cylinder burst, causing one fatality.

The Chief Investigator of Accidents, Captain Tim Burfoot, says the ship’s crew were re-pressurizing the gas cylinders after maintenance when the cylinder burst and fatally injured a nearby crew member.

The cylinder was part of a stored energy system providing an alternative means of launching lifeboats in the event of power failure. Such systems are common on cruise ships.

“The nitrogen cylinder burst at below normal working pressure because its casing had corroded to about 30% of the original thickness,” said Capt. Burfoot.

“The failed cylinder and several others in the system were not fit for purpose, despite having been surveyed recently, and should not have been in service.”

The Commission identified a key lesson that corrosion on high-pressure cylinders in marine environments should be fully investigated by qualified persons competent in examining high-pressure cylinders before doing any remedial work, and before allowing the cylinder back into service.

“The wider issue is the lack of global minimum standards for inspection, testing and rejecting pressure cylinders for stored energy systems on lifeboat launching installations. So there is wide variation in, and sometimes inadequate, standards applied by flag state administrations, classification societies, and authorized service providers,” said Capt. Burfoot.

The Commission has recommended that the manufacturer of the lifeboat launching system improves training and that Maritime New Zealand raise with the International Maritime Organization the urgent global need for adequate minimum standards for the inspection, testing and rejection of pressure vessels that are part of stored energy systems.

An earlier interim report by the Commission, published in May 2017, made recommendations regarding the condition and checking of similar installations. The ship’s operator took immediate safety actions to prevent similar accidents on its ships.

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission exists to determine the circumstances and causes of selected aviation, marine, and rail accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future, rather than to ascribe blame to any person.

Hunter walked into the store and walked towards the freezer section. He opened the ice cream door and grabbed a chocolate flavor, figuring everyone loved chocolate so he figured there wouldn't be any complaints. Walking to the cashier he paid for the ice cream and walked out to his car. Hunter had been excited to see Michelle again. It had  been awhile since seen her and it was always fun to hang out with her. It was something he looked forwards to when they made plans.
