21 Chilling Moments When Gut Feelings Uncovered Shocking Truths Just in Time
I took a class on, among other things, lighting in a theater. One day I was using a single person lift to put myself 20 meters above the floor to change one tiny thing on one light. As I raised the lift closer to the light I had this feeling and then it got progressively worse. Literally every single safety thing that could be wrong on this very heavy light 20 meters above the crossroads of multiple walkways was wrong and about as wrong as it could be. It is a miracle this light hasn’t fallen off and killed someone yet and it was about to. Moreover, whatever idiot managed to screw it up this badly(who had also somehow been competent enough to be certified to use a two person lift even though I saw every single person in a 45 person class of predominantly 14 year olds do a better job on a light the first time they ever touched one) also managed to touch the power coupling to the crazy hot light and make it stay there and the power coupling was melted and somehow still functional and it’s a miracle the entire auditorium hadn’t burned down whenever this idiot did this. It was extremely scary to me as I’ve been doing extracurriculars in that auditorium for the past nine years and I don’t think this light had been touched in nine years so every one of the thousands of times I had used that path my life had been in danger.
Well, I fixed the light so it’s safe now and had every single other light in the auditorium checked so it wouldn’t be possible for another light done this badly to continue like this. Every other light in the auditorium was perfectly fine.
