Reply to comment by geek66 in [OC] Wind Speed Vs Wind Power by Barra79
Wind turbines derate earliest from 20 m/s and cut out around 30-40 m/s. On this graph it drops off at 14 m/s, so it doesn't fit.
Also I hate seeing powercurves in km/h. Nobody does that in the wind industry.

Pretty cool!
Truly remote areas just don't seem to exist in Middle Europe.
Now if only the pricing of train rides were competitive...
Also, welcome back to reddit?!

Good post.
All the flaws people point out about it just made me engage with it more and I learned things I didn't know before. Even if you take out the piece of data about traffic it was interesting to see how the worst disasters in each category compare.
And I think the point you tried to make was that even some of our worst singular disaster experiences pale in comparison to the graveyards that roads are on a continued basis. And it's not like that's new information but we often just shrug it of as part of vehicular transport when there could be so much we could do to make it safer. Something we aren't able to do with most of the grand disasters yet road safety often isn't the most pressing issue in people's minds. I personally have two changes I would like to make immediately to make roads safer, if I could.

So really rough math says it would have taken 9 seconds to fall that far which must have been absolutely horrifying.

That number actually does include those killed by meteorites as the number is 0.

These numbers are incorrect. For Maritime, it states 4,000 People have died overall. Even if it was for the deadliest Maritime disaster, the number is still incorrect, since it is estimated that over 9,000 people lost their lives in the sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff.

Damn, you really chose being a prick over clicking a single link. Took me less than thirty seconds to "dig" into the source to answer your dumb ass question.

How far off the ground does a literal space rocket have to go to be considered a space-related accident then? I think Aviation is actually even more ambiguous because it could contain space travel as well as "normal" planes and all other forms of flight. Lists of spaceflight-related accidents even include training accidents. Would you say the Challenger disaster wasn't an accident that would fall into the "space" category?
As I said, extremely pedantic.

I try to explain this to people all the time…. That by the overall numbers the roads are the death zone. Everything else we do is far less risky overall… simply because of the amount of time we spend in cars. Like for example cutting some trees down is dangerous for sure, especially in those moments when you may climb the trees to cut limbs etc, but those dangers are controllable for the most part and the time conducting those activities is limited for most people. It’s why I absolutely cannot stand people talking about vaccines or other overall health promoting behaviors being dangerous in any way. They are not. Look at the odds, you were way way more likely from an overall perspective to die on your way to getting vaccinated or even on your way to going snowboarding or something like that than from the actual activity itself.

To answer your question, no, I'm not digging into his sources to get to the bottom of it. Kinda defeats the point of a having a chart, let alone one that says accidents "AND DISASTERS".

Is there overlap between earthquake and flooding? Flooding the earthquake in Japan caused flooding?

I'm pretty sure you can whip up the graph you would like to see in a few minutes by yourself.

It doesnt sit right though. Aviation is a bit less ambigious than space which suggests it involved space.

Did you look at this post for more than two seconds? OP provides sources and the source lists aviation accidents. Do you think 9/11 falls under the category of "an accident"?

Oh, I forgot to explain: the times are concentrated in thin, horizontally separated strands because the yearly athletics indoor season only lasts from January to March. If the competitions would be held throughout the year one would see a much more uniform cloud.

They are distinguished by the location they are formed at. It's like calling a meteorite and an asteroid the same thing. Well, yes, technically they are but we (as in actual smart people) decided it was worth making a distinction between them.

Clearly the anti-flood agenda.
