Doyon 26, North America’s Biggest Land Drilling Rig, Topples Over on Alaska’s North Slope.

A
It was being moved when it happened https://alaskalandmine.com/landmines/doyon-26-largest-land-drilling-rig-in-north-america-tipped-over-and-caught-fire-on-north-slope/
B
Tipped over and caught fire, just for good measure!
T
Then sank into the swamp. But the next one *staaaaayyyyed up!* Edit: To all the folks replying… *you are my people*
N
Shes got huuuuge…tracts of land.
O
But mother… Father! I just want to sing.
K
Stop that! Stop that! You’re not going into a song when I’m here.
D
♫ he’s going to tell ^(he’s going to tell ♫)
C
Loving your use of superscript. Well done 🙂
Z
What? The curtains?
C
No no, sweet Concord. Stay here!
S
Let’s not bicker over ‘o killed ‘o.
C
‘You two stay here, and make sure he doesn’t leave’
W
Not to leave the room, even if you come and get him!
V

T
It’ll be fine, they can just tow it outside the environment.
R
You mean into another environment?
Y
No, it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not “in an environment”.
S
Yes, we have an endless supply of fresh environments.
A
Is there anything in that environment?
G
There’s plenty of snow
C
a land drilling rig that fell over and caught fire.
D
What sort of engineering standards are these rigs built to?
P
I imagine paper products are out
T
No string, no sellotape.
B
But that’s not very typical is it?
S
Well no, usually they don’t tip over.
F
Do they have AAA insurance ?
S
Who cares, they can just leave it there to rot
T
If you have never been to the north slope you should stfu. The length they go to to clean anything on that tundra is insane and the actual animals in the vicinity of the camps actually benefit from people being there. North slope is one of the most regulated and has the most stringent environmental rules in the entire world.
J
Well they’re not supposed to fall over.
G
It like one of those little fireballs from GoldenEye N64 whenever you shot and blew up literally any object.
F
They said I’d be daft to put a tower there!
G
But I built one all the saaame.. Just to show ’em!
S
This could be a whole season of Ice Road Truckers.
A
Fucking spoilers dude
W
And that gold digging show
E
*Keeping Up With The Kardashians*?
F
good ol’ Gold Rush
P
I mean, it tipped over because the road was soft because the road was too warm… So yeah, this is pretty much the entire season for that ice road.
G
Not hooked up, so no oil spill. Plus no injuries. Could have been a lot worse. It is a bad sign that it’s too warm in January in the arctic to move this thing, though…
R
Is this why we suddenly need Venezuela?
A
You mean Greenland. Wait, no Cuba. Wait, I meant Mexico. Or was that Canada?
P
Belarus. Wait, Belgium. No, Ireland? Iceland?
P
No no, Abba-baijan. You know, the country founded by that Swedish pop group.
A
Roxette founded a country?!
M
No no. We are all good with belarus, remember, we had a meeting with their King Filip 2 days ago
K
*Was the largest land drilling rig in North America
A
Now, the longest.
B
From vertically inclined to horizontally reclined.
R
Damn whoreologists.
