When Shelley had texted Grant to see if he wanted to hang out, he was all for it. They had the best relationship they could when it came to ex’s relationships and Grant was happy about that. He knew he could talk to her about anything, or almost anything at least and he was excited to catch up with her. He hadn’t had a night out in a while either so when tequila and ice cream was mentioned, Grant was all over it. He knew of a place in Los Angeles that was a nice restaurant pub where they could have both of those things, even if it was a weird combination. He texted Shelley the address and told her he was leaving his house now to meet her there. Once he got there, Grant noticed he got there first and he waited for her in the lot. Smiling when he spotted her, Grant waved and started walking over to the brunette. “Hey you. How’s it going?” He asked, leaning in to hug her. @shelleyc-hennig

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.

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.

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.
