I guess when you live in an era where things like Tuberculosis aren’t uncommon shit like this doesn’t seem that dangerous by comparison.

Gonzako,

Trains also stopped it seems. The train driver is looking at the camera

Potatisen,

A spark arrester (sometimes spark arrestor) is any devices which prevents the emission of flammable debris from combustion sources, such as internal combustion engines, fireplaces, and wood burning stoves.

Spark arresters play a critical role in the prevention of wildland fire and ignition of explosive atmospheres. Consequently, their use is required by law in many jurisdictions worldwide.

bernieecclestoned,

Thanks

ElBarto, (edited ) in Man making a call with his carphone, New York, 1959
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

Man: Ok, so, there’s absolutely no room for my suitcases in this car, the trunk has just enough room for a small woman’s purse, there’s no back seats and the engine takes up half the length of the car… oh and the phone only works when I’m standing outside the car.

MajorHavoc,

Man continues: “So if you could send a taxi to pick me up, that would be terrific. No, I guess I didn’t need to tell you all of that, but this car phone is pretty neat, don’t you think? Yes. I’ll be waiting at the curb, I’m standing there now!”
