Remodel/repairs and, I think, a refrigerant tank blew.
Pretty sure I’ve seen that hanger from the outside.
A contract worker using an oxy-acetylene torch caused an explosion at the McKinley Climatic Lab last July that resulted in US$30m of damage, a report by the US Air Force’s accident investigation board has found.
The incident, which occurred in the air-mixing facility next to the main laboratory on July 5, 2017, sent a plume containing methylene chloride, a potentially toxic refrigerant, into the atmosphere.
The McKinley Climatic Laboratory at the Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, is the largest controlled-environment facility in the world and has five testing chambers. The Laboratory’s main chamber is 252ft (77m) wide, 260ft (79m) long and 70ft (21m) high. The facility can simulate temperatures from -65 to 165˚F (-53 to 74˚C) and can reach -65˚F (-53˚C) in less than 24 hours.
The Climatic Laboratory is used to test aircraft and other equipment under realistic conditions before their use in extreme environments. Vehicles tested at McKinley include a C-5 Galaxy transport, the F-35 fighter, B-1 and B-2 bombers, and M1A1 tanks.
The report into the accident was published last week by the US Air Force Materiel Command Ground Accident Investigation Board. It reveals that sub-contractors were removing a corroded structural beam within Air Makeup Unit I in the air-mixing facility using an oxy-acetylene torch, next to coils of pipe containing methylene chloride, commonly called R-30.
The Air Makeup Units mix and condition the temperature and humidity of air before it is blown into the climate chambers. They use salt water as a dehumidifier and R-30 as a refrigerant.
Although stable at room temperature and pressure, R-30 can rupture or explode when exposed to heat. The resulting fire caused extensive damage to Air Makeup Unit I and an adjacent air handling unit. The fire was assessed to consume most of the approximately 4,000 gallons (15,000 liters) of refrigerant.

You know Cesar Romero refused to shave his mustache for that part......we can't say the same for the other person in the post.
Nuke that fucking thing from orbit!
At least once a year, this guy attends one of my classes.
Not enough room in the casket
No, the axle pulled out of the differential. Wheels are still on tight.
It reached it's "Engineered Lifetime".
Throw away society.
Order a new one from China.
Finance it at SVB
It will be paid for by the working middle class American's.
Problem solved.
In that case, call the Field Service Department and see how many months you will wait for a mechanic.
@clcustom1911 here is one that is beyond stabby, maybe harpoony, but you will have to Indian leg wrestle @Dirty D for it.
I’ll referee both wrastlin matches. The semi-final between clc and dirtyd and the final boss fight with cottage cheese tats@clcustom1911 here is one that is beyond stabby, maybe harpoony, but you will have to Indian leg wrestle @Dirty D for it.
Here's a nasty thought. Imagine being the tattoo guy that has to hold that shit still while doing the tattoo.
I got to do that. Sitting in the cockpit at -30 for well over a hour, one engine running, and gear retracted. Boy, that sucked.
Wonder if the tat artist did the deep dive down into those folds????Here's a nasty thought. Imagine being the tattoo guy that has to hold that shit still while doing the tattoo.

Resisting the urge to respond in that fucking inbred autistic “civic duty mask wearing” thread
I think you have it all wrong!!!Here's a nasty thought. Imagine being the tattoo guy that has to hold that shit still while doing the tattoo.
That’s the problem when a cute 22 year old (like most pic in this thread) get 20 years and 2 kids older.
A “flower” turns into a bouquet that needs Round-Up
Just man up and do what needs to be done. Or you're a chicken shit
I like hams@clcustom1911 here is one that is beyond stabby, maybe harpoony, but you will have to Indian leg wrestle @Dirty D for it.
