maryportfuncity 10,093 Posted August 31, 2015 https://www.rt.com/news/313933-china-factory-blast-new/ And another one... If this is the Yanks then surely it's cyber attacks and if it's cyber attacks let's not rule out North Korea. Personally, I'm with the cock up rather than conspiracy mob and China's health and safety record ain't exactly great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,833 Posted September 2, 2015 I was running a training course in a Chinese hotel about how health and safety rules should be managed in Chinese factories and there was some work being done on the hotel. I looked out the window and saw no evidence of anyone wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). However poor H&S is not just an over there thing. I once went to do some work at a factory in Northamptonshire where I had to scramble over pipes and boxes to reach the fire exit. I knew the fire exit was there because I had been to the factory when the previous owner had it. This was not the only failing that I highlighted in my report. They never asked me back.

Sir Creep 7,028 Posted September 25, 2015 Not sure how the U.K. made out yesterday when the asteroid hit the earth (as predicted), but here in Texas where I am it really wasn't that bad. SC (Edit: BUT WAIT! "There will still be a very huge chunk of this asteroid that will hit (most likely in the Atlantic Ocean). They believe this is the fulfillment of the 6th seal of Revelation that starts the “Day of the Lord”, the final day of Daniel’s 70th week, which will last for one year." Maybe THAT was the 'earthquake' and tsunami warnings a few days ago!!! IT WAS A TRUE PROPHECY!! The 6th Seal came a few days EARLY, that's all!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted September 27, 2015 From Wiki... On December 12, 2012 at 06:40 UT Toutatis passed within about 18 lunar distances of Earth. On December 13, the Chinese lunar probe Chang'e 2, launched in 2010 on a lunar mission, flew by Toutatis at a distance of 3.2 kilometers and a relative velocity of 10.73 km/s. Toutatis will approach Earth again in 2016, but will not make another notably close approach until 2069. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting... many Avril Lavigne fans were born after Ronald Reagan was president (if one assumes that her fan base after her breakthrough in 2002 consisted mostly of girls under the age of 13). And probably all of them can't remember the time he was president, so for them, Ronald Reagan was just some old (and demented) guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
