Everybody immediately snitches, in any criminal organization. How do you think they broke the mob? The entirety of the federal legal system is set up to encourage snitching. The penalties for minor crimes are so big, the incarceration times are so exaggerated... You would have to be a dumbass not to snitch. "We caught you with distribution amounts of 3 drugs, the penalty is 30 years for each incidence, you will serve 90 years for this..OR, you tell us what we want to know and we will reduce this down to this charge which carries 5 years max and let the judge know you were cooperative so he probably won't even give you that. What do you want to do?"

People talk tough about snitching, but everyone snitches. Its the one thing you can count on. If you're in criminal shit and your buddy gets popped by Feds, he has already rolled on you. Start packing your bags.

As a power plant engineer, I can (somewhat) answer this. Yes, it is true that steam leaks can cut a person's arm off. But, I highly doubt you would see such leaks present on a cargo ship. Basically, it comes down to the pressure of the steam. Higher pressure boilers, putting out 3000psi + steam, as found in generation facilities, could easily cut/maim/injure people of the leak happened on high pressure parts/piping. Anything at high pressure can cause damage. I saw a 10,000psi hydroblasting sprayer cut through clothing and flesh, easily. We've used high pressure water jets to cut steel sections out of a tank that previously contained flammable material.

In short, it's all about pressure.

The steam is invisible, but a high pressure steam leak makes a deafening racket. I mean, it's loud. Like, jet engine loud. You definitely know when there's a leak.

Yeah, no. If I'm in an armored truck and some dude come waving a rifle at me, no chance in hell I'm putting my hands up and getting out of the armored truck. If I was a passenger, I'd be pointing my gun out of one of those little shooting windows. If I' was the driver, my ass would be trying to push the gas pedal through the floor. Leaving the armored truck would not be an option.

Precisely because it's an armored truck and I'd damn sure want to take my chances being BR glass and 1/2" plate than trusting the dude with a gun isnt going to shoot my ass

I was with that other guy. I figured you just bought rats wholesale and unleashed them into known mine fields until all the mines blew up. I guess this way is a lot less messy.
