@masterpython Not likely, they will simply strip out the liner, call line and patient table top, and send that to the incinerator, and put in a new set. The rest will be washed down with a succession of industrial washing agents, starting with plain chlorine bleach at high concentration, then with a bromine based bleach, followed by a cycle of plain detergent washes to remove the first two wash agents, and then a rinse and dry. Patient bedding and mattress straight to the incinerator, and the room will get the same treatment as the MRI. Hospitals do have procedures for this, and many have had exposure to Ebola, and other deadly diseases, and have the protocols in place, and the right cleaning agents in stock.
Surgical instruments pretty much all parts that contact the patient are disposable, and thus they will throw the entire kit away anyway, unless it is some expensive kit, which in that case they will simply replace all parts that contact patient. Things like respirators easy enough to replace all parts the patient breath comes into contact with, part of the regular service kit anyway, and surgical tools they are cheap enough to the hospital that sending them through an incinerator, and billing the insurance, is cheap, as yes they are hard to totally sterilise, especially if there are plastic parts, metal ones you just send through a high pressure autoclave, but even so they are sold as disposable items anyway.

@LMacNeill Almost guaranteed to have a spark if the indicators were on in a turn, or the brakes were on because you were in an automatic vehicle, and were slowing down or stopped, or at night. All 3 conditions where you can get rear ended, and not helped by the electrical wiring being routed over the tank, so as to save on wire length to the fuel sender, and to keep the loom shorter to the rear lights. guaranteed a spark or three when the loom got damaged in an accident by the frame buckling, and the loom was lose to that easily torn off fuel filler pipe. fuses in a car take a while to blow, normally a second or so, they protect the wiring, so have a blowing time such that the fuse fails before the wire insulation melts, but a damaged wire can still spark for a second or so before then.

@jerrykinnin7941 Problem with dumpsite methane is the contaminants. Major one is silane, SiH4, analogous to methane chemically, and a by product of all the silicone that got dumped there as either furniture polish, silicone sealer, silicone parts like seals, and other such things. This when burnt in an engine does not, like methane, produce carbon dioxide and water, but instead results in the formation of silicon dioxide and water, or with methane silicon carbide. Both are deposited as thin films on the cooler metal parts of the engine, and both are commercially used as very effective abrasives.
Thus your engines running on dump site gas tend to have both a much shorter oil life, because of the silane and other contaminants like carbon monoxide and other things like CFC and HFC slowly leaching out from PTFE parts, and also suffer enhanced wear from the abrasive dust that gets deposited into the oil and on all the metal sliding parts. They cannot easily be filtered out by the oil filter, and clog up the filters, and wear the engines out prematurely. Where a natural gas engine might do 20k hours between overhauls, the dump gas one might be lucky to reach 5k hours before blow by is so severe it burns more oil than fuel.

@krissteel4074 Slow train yes you survive, but the car is a mangled wreck 500m down the line. Over 50kph on the train side the car is shredded into confetti for 4km down the line, as the train is stopping with full emergency braking. Almost nobody survives that except the train driver, protected by the armoured glass front and the 10cm steel armour plate the front is made from.
The iron ore train here has a stopping distance, under normal conditions of 60km, and the guard in the rear engine knows if he is told to jump to just jump, because the front driver will already have baled out. Emergency stop, detrimental to both the rail and the tyres of the train, is 30km.
Train drivers get counseling after each incident, and can actually be placed on full pension after these, irrespective of age. Foot Plate union looks after the members.

By me similar thing, except those mine dumps were actually mined again for the left over metals, and the fine powder was pumped down the old mine shafts to fill them up, gaining a bonus of removing the dump, and reducing the sinkhole risk, plus also getting a byproduct of gold, platinum, silver, copper, lead and other metals, plus a lot of sulphuric acid recovered for industrial use, and massive amounts of mercury, that was the old method of gold extraction, recovered. Then the land was covered up, and sold as residential property and new suburbs were created.
