@HasisD @gmhales @Graham_Goulden I do think another area is worthwhile research is the cognitive load of single crewed response versus double crewed & the comparative risk profile of accidents

There is an argument to explore that a high speed driving assessment once every 5 years is inadequate to ensure competent execution of driving skills at speed & under the pressures of emergency driving & that it’s unreasonable to expect flawless performance.

A police officer charged with dangerous driving after a man was hit and injured at a pedestrian crossing in Lincoln city centre has been sentenced. PC Aodan O'Neill, 27, previously admitted driving a marked police car dangerously on Broadgate on 4 November 2024. O'Neill was sentenced to a 12-month community order, to include 150 hours of unpaid work, at Nottingham Crown Court earlier. The officer was also banned from driving for 12 months and will need to take an extended retest. According to Lincolnshire Police, O'Neill had been travelling to an emergency incident with blue lights and sirens activated when the marked car he was driving struck a man crossing the road. The man was not seriously injured, police said. Following the hearing, the force said it would now consider internal misconduct proceedings. O'Neill is currently on non-operational duties. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@forceinsights @gmhales Is there also something here about continual peer-assessment that occurs as part of double crewing and the importance of @Graham_Goulden's 'bystander' intervention?
English
@gmhales Especially when overlaid by what the evidence says regarding fatigue. There is a strong case to be made that police driving hours & fatigue management should be regulated. I suspect forces don’t want to open that Pandora’s box.

Watching the clock-ticker rolling back through the age of the #Dinosaurs (Netflix) last night brought on a feeling of real melancholy.
We may feel our society to be exceptional, but when faced with the arrow of time, we are in fact completely insignificant

@LucyGoBag And that’s without even mentioning the objectively [I would say misleadingly so] conservative nature of numerous RWCS in the National Risk Register

And the misuse of unprecedented really really matters. Because it lets governments feign surprise. Let’s successive governments off the hook. It was a known known and a common exercise scenario for HEIs. It was entirely presented and partially preventable

Streeting describes the Kent meningitis outbreak as 'unprecedented'. This is nonsense. A well-recognized risk at least since the 1997 outbreak in Southampton when 3 students died. Used to be regular advice campaigns directed at freshers. See also wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/25…

Senior Notts police are taking the “comms failing” line a little too easily - often a suggested approach when prepping for an inquiry. Another suggested approach is to look really candid by blaming resource and also more senior officers…but it feels like a lot was missing today

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film.
The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage:
“You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.”
He was talking about Russia.
The audience knew he was talking about America too.
Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on.
David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does.
The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube.
The Epstein files are sealed.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.
Countless small acts of complicity.
That’s how you lose it.
A nobody is more powerful than you think.
Never stop connecting the dots.

Over the years I’ve been in many towns and cities when they were being bombed — in a few cases (Baghdad, Belgrade etc) by my own country. No matter what the justification, most of the victims have been entirely innocent. I’ve come to loathe the very thought of aerial bombardment.

For the world outside America perhaps the central lesson of the world after 2008 is that efforts to sustain economic stability and expand geopolitical strength cannot afford overconcentrations of risk.
English
One long term prediction I think you can risk making is that this is the last conflict in which the Strait of Hormuz is such a concentration of risk for the global economy

what you're looking at is a fuel depot burning in the middle of a megacity of 9 m people & nobody is talking about what this smoke actually contains
when refined petroleum burns at this scale it releases a cocktail of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds, these particles are small enough to bypass bypass your lungs entirely and enter your bloodstream directly…
we're talking PM2.5 concentrations that can spike to 50 to 100 times safe levels within a 20km radiu
right now in tehran people are breathing this in, eyes burning, throats closing, children coughing, asthmatics flooding emergency rooms & outside acid rain is falling on the water supply, the soil, the crops…everything that sustains daily life in a city of 9m
but the real damage comes later, years later, elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issue
this is what happened after the Kuwait oil fires in 1991, after the mosul refinery burns in 2016, after every single conflict where fuel infrastructure was deliberately targeted, the medical literature on this is extensive & devastating
deliberately bombing fuel infrastructure insidde a civilian megacity knowing full well what the toxic fallout does to the population over decades is chemical warfare without the label, you achieve the same mass casualty outcome over a longer timeline and somehow it stays legal because the weapon is fire instead of sarin
these people are being sentenced to cancers they will develop in 2035 by bombs dropped in 2026 & they call it liberation

CRAZY FOOTAGE 🔴 Apocalyptic scenes coming out of Tehran right now

Just a few months ago we were reading of the extreme drought risk in Tehran threatening to make the city uninhabitable.
Now this horror!
A city of >10m inhabitants…but for how long?

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon. History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

CNN admits it was the US not Israel that killed 150 Iranian school girls on the first day of the war. It was a double tap, they also killed their parents who were trying to rescue them.
