44 Seemingly Normal Photos That Hide Shocking Secrets Behind the Scenes
The risk was that if the spheres were allowed to close, the core would instantaneously form a critical mass. To keep them from closing, he pried the top core up with a screw driver.

Stuff like this is why we have safety regulations today. We rarely come up with them before an accident, at least not traditionally. We’re getting better now, and accounting for this kind of potential in a design is drilled in to engineering students heads, but yah, not always like that.
However, yah, I agree, should have been clear even then that showboating is a bad idea.
This brings to mind the relatively recent m**ders of Abigail Williams and Libby German. This case has been discussed numerous times in this subreddit, I know, but it’s one that’s stuck with me. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, you can read up on it here.
This is the final image taken of Abigail Williams, uploaded to Libby German’s Snapchat at approximately 2:07 PM on February 13th, 2017. As depicted in the photo, Abigail is is standing on a bridge, a physical landmark that her body was found in close relation to.
Another image that has been circulated because of this case is an image of the suspect himself. Apologies for the grainy quality, but it was superimposed from a video still. As discovered through this video that retraces the crime, the suspect was only seventy-three feet behind them at this point.
This photo was taken moments before an IRA car b*mbing. The charge was inside that red car. The man and child depicted survived, though the photographer did not.
