I work as a pool maintenance technician in Texas. There are laws that are pretty strict for public pools for anti-entrapment drains

From what I've been able to read and from what I've read from interviews, the pipe was like 6" wide and didn't have a cover. I believe it was a wall return that she was sucked into. But it was plumbed backwards and so it was pulling water instead of pushing

I work with multiple river pumps and they're frequently the biggest pumps in the pump room. So the water they return is at a pretty high flow rate and none of them have a cover on the pressure side. The ones I work with have multiple openings of an inch or two

But the main reason this happened was someone fucked up with plumbing the pump and used the discharge side for the pressure side. No idea how someone wouldn't notice

I think I read that they didn't disclose that they were renovating and adding a river. No idea why it wasn't looked at either. So, so, so many levels of failure lead to this

It's pointing out that he is weak. Literally one of the main reasons people liked him was that he "couldn't be bought" and he was going to "self fund his campaign"

Remember, before this they were just saying how scary Trump was. I think mocking him is far more effective

I thought trucks were backed in for the hitch to not stick out. Why would backing the truck in help? Just so the driver could see wtf they were doing?

Thanks for the explanation everyone! I have started to drive a truck at work and I didn't know about this

And thanks for not being jackasses while explaining too!
