blues deville Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Add some ice with big brooms and I think we have a new Canadian winter sport. The mist off the rollers on our small PEC county lake was blowing sideways by the windows. I’ve never anything like that before. YTR was reporting similar wind conditions.

Unless things have changed since I did, a lot of empty ULDS are stowed on the ground (forklift-able ones for sure) or on racks that are at the same level as the carriers. Tie downs mostly didn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAS Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I only spent 10 years working the ramp at YYZ. Our racks wouldn’t allow a container to fly off. Neither would the dollies. That is if they were used properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southshore Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The follow on video (if you see the same list I did) answers the age old question "when a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound?" The answer is 'yes, yes it does cuz it's right FREAKIN' OVER THERE!!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The maritimes had three wind events of the same magnitude this past winter alone - happens every winter (or Fall). Just saying - when someone from the East Coast says it was windy - now you know what they meant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
