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!

I worked in the Heavy Foundry at Sheffield Forgemasters for 40 years, we made castings with a finished weight of 350 tonne, with 7 ladles simultaneously pouring 650 tonnes of molten steel, I've seen moulds leak before which has resulted in molten steel all over the shop floor, but I've never seen a crane tip over a ladle. The way the driver was laying the legs down was an accident waiting to happen.

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.

Anyone who had ever welded or handled molten metals like this knows what happens to a concrete floor when it gets this hot. The top layer explodes as the air pockets heat up. Much of what you see happening after the spill is the concrete exploding.

I work at a gas station and I had to watch training and safety videos. One was about static electricity and how it causes fires at the pumps. It showed surveillance footage of a lady who starts pumping gas, then opens her door and takes off her sweater and throws it in. Then goes to take the gas handle out and immediately sets herself on fire. That looks like nothing compared to this.

The temperatures aren't comparable. Gasoline has a low flash plant. The reason that image gets dark even though everything is on fire is because it's so much energy coming off of it it's blinding the camera. It doesn't seem like it's melting it because it's still functioning just fine but it's damaging the sensor. If they had pour it on a person they would basically die instantly because the solids and liquids that make up their body would boil, and the steam combined with the gas in their body, because it's being compressed by itself and by the material, they would explode.

@TankR

Hello fellow pump jockey! Can confirm, gas station employees have to watch quite a few training videos (pretty much my first 2 paid days were videos and sweeping) about spill containment, fire prevention, and emergency response procedures all having to do with spills and fires. Heres the thing with no cell phones, folks: reentering the plastic and pleather interior of your car can build up a static charge in you via your cloths. Hell, wind can build up a static charge on you, because of your cloths. Thanks to your rubber shoes, when you step back out of the car you're not grounding yourself. If you then reach for the nozzle, which is venting aerosolized and evaporated vapors in the tank as it fills with liquid fuel, you ground out to the nozzle handle which is grounded to the pump island and your car. Spark plus flammable vapors equals fwoomph. Ouch town population: you. The ONLY solution is to ban clothing and shoes at the pump....... Nah Im joking. Having worked at a few stations and seeing the kinds of people that come in......no thank you. Seriously though, before putting your hand anywhere near the nozzle in your car touch either the bare metal of the pump pedestal, or your cars body for a second (you'll discharge through paint, just give it a second, Bare metal is instant) and youll be fine. I always do, no one ever notices....and that scares me some. But thats all you have to do to stay safe. Ground yourself before touching the fire water dispenser. Side note: my toxic trait is I expect people to have basic common sense then get mad when they dont. If common sense were common everyone would have it.

My anxiety increased massively everytime someone got close to it.

I was a light crane operator, picking up steel beams about ten to twenty feet long and feeding them into a punch press to stamp holes in them. Still can't believe they let me do that job with NO training. One day at lunch they were talking about a co worker who was just getting out of the hospital and going into prosthetic rehab and training. "Wait, what?" I asked, "prosthetic rehab - what's that?" "Oh, he had an accident where his leg was crushed completely and had to be amputated........" Everyone went silent and awkwardly coughing and clearing their throats and whispering and shushing. After lunch was over I asked my co worker about it and he reluctantly told me that he was the guy that worked my position before me. I quit that job with no notice at the end of that week on payday.

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 drove cranes in Smelters and foundries for 25 years. Basic rule of thumb is to move only in one direction at a time, go up or down dont travel until youve reached the desired/safe height to safely continue. You want to long travel dont cross travel or go up or down. Keep it simple. Sure experienced drivers can move in 3 dimensions easily but knowing when to keep it simple is far more valuable than a guy who thinks he can drive lights out all day every day. Another hazard in an Aluminium smelter most people are completely unaware of is that pot rooms (the building where aluminium is smelted) can have a massive magnetic field in them due to the current that flows through the bus work which supplies electricity to the pots/cells. You can have a crane hooked to something 30 ft from the nearest pot/cell and the hook will get stuck to the lift point. It takes some clever manipulation to get it loose without assistance. That being said, after watching this video I dont believe the magnetic field played a part in this incident. An example of the strength of magnetic field is, if we had a 3 ton forklift break down in an difficult spot we would get another 3 ton fork and but its counter weight against the counter weight of the broke down fork and the magnetism would allow you to tow it out. If you stalled a fork you wouldnt be able to start it back up because the magnetic field would jam the solenoid on the starter motor.

As an H&S Engineer, I can identify at least a dozen of non-conformities. It’s always “I know this job, don’t tell me how to do it” in the beginning, but when the shait hits the fan, their big mouth shrinks to atomic size.

I once worked in a foundry. Something similar but much smaller happened. That was the only time in my life I found myself running before I had a thought about it!

Absolutely, without a frame of reference you can't easily judge the scale. That is one big container.

Back in the 80's I worked in an iron foundry for engine blocks. We had two cranes lifting ladles. One was a little dodgy and when you got a newby operator and he jolted the thing the crap would spill out over the top. The problems start once the molten metal hits the cold concrete floor. It jumps and goes everywhere. If when doing the slag off on the floor some of it reached you then it was time to do the dance, as in little burning balls finding their way into the top of your fireproof overalls and travelling downward, hopefully not ending up in the tops of your boots.

That fiery spill was totally metal! 😂 I cannot imagine how dangerous that would be, nonetheless how expensive or hard clean-up would be.😊

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.

Lava is from rocks.

Having worked in a foundry, this should never happen, but it isn't surprising that it did. The mentality of the workers and management I experienced in the early 70's was cavalier at best. The equipment was was ancient and poorly maintained. The workers seemed to have the IQ of a gnat and cared nothing about the equipment or themselves. I, along with the supervisor, witnessed a worker ram a brand new forklift with one of the old ratty ones, defacing the finish and destroying one of the flashers on the new unit because "It didn't fit in." to raucous laughter by all, including the supervisor. I saw a sheetmetal flume constructed from the cupolo to the city sewer to divert the burning slag that couldn't go to the quench tank because the bucket lift was broken down. The EPA/OSHA officer pitched a fit and it was torn down, but as soon as he was out of sight it was built back. Hopefully, things have changed in the industry, but if this video is any indication, it doesn't appear it has or at least not enough.
