The operator of the crane is fine. It's the ones on the floor that have a problem.

​@@grantofat6438not if the operator was stuck above the crane inhaling all of that toxic fumes

@@pyrofestimo I worked at Zenar, Crane Pro, P&H Material Handling (Pro Care) and Orley-Meyer Kone Landell (Konecranes) as overhead crane field services tech. Rigger / erector / welder / electrician (VFD's, contactor logic / DC magnet cranes). Most large cranes (like a foundry or steel mill hot pot melt bay class F ladle crane) today are operated from a shielded room up high overlooking work area, glass windows all around like a bay window, a ship's bridge. That's common on the 300 Ton and up cranes (I've rebuilt a 900 ton ladle crane.) Smaller cranes like in a pickling or heat treat line (65 Ton - 300 Ton) are remote control operated by man walking the floor with load. Or by a dangling hard-wired pendant. I did work on a very old Shawbox melt bay ladle crane with rivetted fish belly girders that had a round bottom operator bucket hung under catwalk off G1. I also had to repair a large magnet crane with an operator's bucket up on the crane still in use. It was a magnet crane for scrap steel that came in on rail. Bridge of crane had hydraulic brakes. Control yoke was an early Harnischfeger inductive reactance ferrite plunger on bellcrank joystick style. I am a terrible operator. I mean terrible! But I think I got pretty good at fixin' a crane! Crane operator control buckets up under the crane catwalk all look the same: An electric space heater. The last electric space heater that broke and got replaced. It sits not too far away. Maybe they get emotionally attached? Porno. pigeon crap. foundry dust.

How long does it take to cool enough to be cleaned up?

Maybe dude was working 15 hours a day because company cant afford more workers? Who knows maybe He was tired and tired people make alot of mistakes

Same

Yeeeep

Wholeheartedly agree

Right?!

Warehouse work is unsafe too.

The bail is made to be laid over like that. The issue it he was traveling before the hook lowed clear of the bails. Simple rule of thumb for all crane operations is one movement at a time ie lift or lower to the height you need then travel. Anyone with a little experience can easily move the crane around in three dimensions but there are times when its just better to stick to doing things as simply as possible. I worked at what was the worlds largest Aluminium and one issue we had to deal with that most places dont is the magnetic field generated by the massive current flow on the pot lines (pots or cells as they are know is what the aluminium is smelted in). The magnetic field was strong enough to get your hook caught on the lift point. We used to have 3 ton forklifts tow each other around by just butting the counter weights up against each other.

How come u still alive?¿

better? absolutely. Safer? 100% Cheaper? nope. and thats why we still have swinging pots of lava

@@nuarius you win the internet for today with that comment. Capitalism, baby!

In the 80s I worked in a iron foundry, a transfer ladle 1/2 this size shorted out and dumped just a few feet from a guy, 60% of his body burned. Absolutely preventable, it had been acting up for 2 weeks

My grandson witnessed a death at an aluminum foundry. Even though he was a fearless bear of a man, this stressed him pretty bad. All he could say was "I didn't know a human could make a sound like that." Two weeks later an aneurysm exploded in his brain and he died too. I watch this video and try to imagine what he had seen

@@Hammett175 This is Patrick from Spongebobs origin story.

When my grandfather was 16 he and his friend went to take a job at a local saw mill in the early 1940's during their summer break in high school. Good pay and they figured good gig for a summer. The hiring manager was asking them things like "are you sure you want this job?" while interviewing. The last part of the interview they took them out on the floor for a tour of the facility. My grandfather noticed that no one working on the floor had all their fingers and/or hands/arms. He and his buddy left and never took the job. A year later my grandfather lied about his age to join the Marines and fight in WW2. He'd do war but he wouldn't do this bullshit.

I'm hurt.

They all died

@@jordanquill8079 really I was thinking that 😮

Did they really die?

@@tipsymcstagger623 I checked. The closest people in frame were walking away when it fell. If it was hot enough maybe they hurt their eyes and got a couple burns. Maybe.

My wife told me to get the wax out of my ears! Arrgh

To be fair, normally the crane operator is not allowed to work if he's drunk, has a concussion, and his glasses have been replaced with a snake.

It's molten aluminum not lava, lava is molten volcanic rocks and I believe aluminum is far hotter because of its melting point, I may be wrong tho

@@vanquisher4700 i indeed believe you're wrong. I think you have some other metal in mind. But then again i didn't check. Also i would like to point out that lava is per definition molten (pointed at the original comment).

You don't melt the warehouse floor with molten aluminium. It's just a few hundred degrees hot. Also it's quite easy to remove afterwards

Yup, never again!

Maybe its a sign to find another job?

Seems like a floor consisting of a thick steel grate suspended over an empty space (or not) would give it someplace to go. Expensive, but no spilled liquids melting people.

@@paulkahler6373 exactly, or barriers or gutters to halt waves of molten metal from spreading around the plant... Would likely only need them in key areas too...

Money, capitalism, greed, you know how it is

@@mcflyingfury Them laughable thing about this comment ist that every socialist/communist has extremely less afety measures as the outpiut and production of socializm is so extremely low that there is far less money to invest in safety. I worked for a company in the 80th that made heat exchangers. We also sold them to russia. One came back and it was full of branches, leafes and dirt. One worker who flew on site to see it prior to return said it was used on a lage that ussr, I give a shit and have no money to do better communism just diverted oil spill into it just like they thoufghht is was a good, communist idea to save money and directly cool a reactor by diverting water from a river directly in the core and then back into the water again into a sea, creating the most radioacive place on eart, so communism it.. If you stood on the back then for an hour, you'd be dead of radioactivity. Communism, baby. Another company I worked for bought the biggest company of it's branch in the GDR after the fall of the iron curtain. We invested 20M DM into it, as the tools and devices theyhhad where socialist rubbish from stone age. So they got the most modern stuff, far better than what we had. The gdr facility had 3600 Workers before. We just kept 150. That 150 had 4 times the output than what the 3600 did before. If you give powert to the workers and no pressure, you create the laziest people that can be and your output is HORRIBLE. But still, the output was far less that what the westworkers did with worse machines. So we sent a shift of westworkers there and they managed to produce 4 times more than the east socialismized workers. 40 years of teaching that working harder doies not pay off is hard to get rid off. If you give the llaziest people the same money as the hardest working, you soon end up with all of them are trying to be the laziest human possible. And after 40 years, that is hard to change we learned. The workers that went there said that that back in the day, you could just go to that company and say: "I want to work here", and you got employed, if there was work to do or not. People went shopping in their shift for 2h, nobody cared. Socialism , baby.. And that is why all socialist societies go bankrupt despite living conditions extremely poor and having to buy a car for your child after birth so it's delivered when they are 18. Socialism is not compatible with human psychology. No pressure to do something: get the laziest self you can possibly be. Abd that is why output is so EXTREMELY and there is no innovation in communist/socialist societies. And because of that, there is no money for safety. So the working conditions and safety standards where absolutely shit compared to the western facilitie's. The GDR had a car factore that produced the shittiest car imaginable. The "Trabbi" was designen in the 60th and the only improvements to 1990 where a tank gauge and a better display. It was laughably shit. But as this was -typical for socialism that doesn't achive annything- the only car abvailable it was bought. But as the workers where wsocialist, if you bought one, you had to wait 13 years to get it. Socializm, bably, which is basically lazyalizm in reality. And unsafe working space as hellizm.

They are probably the reason the crane operator was distracted and dumped the load. Crazy

He stopped his vehicle at the top left of the video and got out to talk to another worker. They were both there when it happened and I’m sure had to run for their lives. He totally should not been driving though there and parking to get out by the vehicle in this area. Even though the crane operator should not be distracted by anything, this might have been part of the distraction. It would be great to see the aftermath and how something like this is cleaned up.

Curious as to who is actually running the crane. Is it the guy who came and checked the cauldron and then walked off to the left? Or is it someone remotely we do not see on video. Not sure how you cannot have your eyeballs on that thing the whole time. I often run an overhead crane moving tons of sheet glass and crates of sheet glass at a time and you just never take your eyes off of it. At least not while it is moving and you know when it is moving. Boggles my mind. But others have been killed doing what I do and other jobs like it. It takes extreme carelessness but it has been done.

Don't think he needed to watch this video to see what happened. He was right there lol

@@punknhead23 He shouldn't be the reason, because the operator wasn't near the release point when the cart rolled through.

@@BlindSquirrel666 That appears to be lead. But with lead & aluminum being non ferrous metals more than likely its the infrared of the camera making it appear that way.
