A home security camera has captured a runaway saw blade shooting through a northern Ohio yard leaving a huge gap into the side of a house.
CCTV shows a large blade spinning off a saw being used to cut through a street.
The blade then rolls through a front yard and leaves a 3-foot gash in the side of an empty house in Lorain, a town about 25 miles west of Cleveland.
Rachel Gayhart says she and her husband checked their video Monday to see why the street work wasn't finished.
She says the blade missed a gas meter on the side of the neighboring house by two feet.
The video shows a construction worker retrieving the runaway blade and putting it back on the saw like nothing happened.
Lorain officials say the firm doing the work under contract for the city is investigating.

Duh!!.....here we tighten our bolts. And on a saw, the bolt gets tightened counterclockwise as blade spins clockwise, so blade does not go for a stroll like that....Then again this is in Ohio

A few years back me'n'a bunch of pals discovered an old shipwreck off Ireland that still had a shiny big, and valuable, bronze prop attached. We then spent 5 days diving trying to remove the prop-nut off the fucking thing.
It was the night before we were due to come back to the UK we were in the boozer telling a local of our woes. It was only when he said "You do realise prop-nuts turn the 'wrong' way, don't you?" that we looked at each other and thought"Well actually we did k More..

I once tried to remove the crankshaft nut on a Lexus LS400 (1994). I tried SOOOOOOOOO hard with no success (due to incorrect information from a friend). THEN I realized I just HYPER tightened it (WITH A HUGE 6 FT LEVER). FORTUNATELY, the material was of SUCH high quality that it did not break off (and no engine/transmission component failed during the following thousands of miles, mostly high speed miles...).

"Gouged" the drive way? It's a scratch. The lawyers must be mixed up in this by now.

Pause at 0:16 and you can see a miniature Indiana Jones running just ahead of the blade...
