Aside from tankers full of flammables or chemicals, I can't think of a more dangerous thing to have a passenger car crash into. A dense thin mass will just shear straight through the body shell. Absolute nightmare scenario here.
Don't forget San Antonio, Texas. Back in 2006, we were doing some testing of tractor-trailers, our contractor leased a couple and parked them in in their lot. By the time I got down to visit, the trailers were already tagged. I think the contractor had to repaint them before they were turned back in. And I had to digitally retouch all of my photos of the testing so that the trailers would look presentable on my Power Point slides.
Yep, Sadly EVERY US City ( including Austin
) seems to be a Victim of "Tagging", but NYC and LA have the Reputation of having the Most and Best " Street Artists"!
Firefighting in Greece is a constant need as it is a very dry climate for over half the year and fires spread very easily. As a result, Greece puts a lot of resources into fighting fires. Even on the islands you’ll see planes picking up and dumping water on fires that are inaccessible by truck because of their location. Given this is winter and not the dry season, I’m not surprised they were able to respond quickly. It’s something that they’re good at as a country.
It’s a shame, with Athens being the worst but some of the less touristy islands like Syros are getting hit as well. Most graffiti in Greece has historically been political, unlike our American content consisting of who regularly performs what type of sexual act on what body part.
Something I noticed earlier: it sounds like the trains there don't have "Emergency Exit" removable windows. Are they a uniquely American thing?
The style we have is a unique “to American thing” as we have FRA glaze windows. Which are close to bullet proof glass. In Europe you will have window punch/hammers to break the windows. The red handle thing you see in most YouTube video. Easy to see in a video of a sleeping compartment.
Is the European glass safety glass? Regular glass ; Watch out for the glass shards.
It would be tempered glass - which breaks into crumbles, as compared to laminated/safety glass, which also breaks into crumbles, but generally stays in place due to a sandwiched plastic sheet bonded to the glass.
Those were old cars, too. In the videos on the newer emu's used on the one-stop expresses on that line it looked like there was signage over some windows. They may identify emergency exits.
