It's a shop environment, pulling the head requires customer approval which requires they pay more which is a big no-no, your time to fix a "fuckup" is free (to the shop owner, because flat rate).

I get that idea, but he could have paid the customer for every new gasket and seal they needed to buy to put it all back together and still had cash left over compared to what the tech was losing doing it on flat rate. I still say that if I was that tech, I would have ripped it off and saved myself cash and time.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-XlbUDPt7A&t=53s I can only assume this was some kind of planned event because everyone seems super chill about it until the very end. But I know if I was in the area and saw that much mass unspooling and starting fires, I'd be backing away in a hurry.

It looks like they were trying to drop the anchor.. and the guy was slowly releasing / applying the brake until about 0:52.. then the anchor sticks and he loosens it a bit too much and once it starts going the brake cant catch it anymore.

Here's the best anchor loss video ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7pRfix_sNg I also like the related video for the one buttcrackmenace just posted where they flip a rolled caterpillar over without putting anything downhill to stop it, so it just rolls down a loving mountain at full speed in neutral. If they'd used a shackle instead of just looping the recovery strap over a handy protrusion (the hitch) it would have gone fine. e: this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJFeQ9t04lg kastein fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Nov 24, 2015 |

The operator was still in it, the brakes failed. I thought the same thing but then further in the narrator notes that the driver was dodging as much as he could while trying to slow down by running into things with no people in them.

With the anchor drops, keep in mind as more links go over the side the weight that's hanging also increases, so the brake force has to be ramped up to match. Even if you increase the pressure, if the chain's weight increases faster it'll speed up, and eventually exceed the brakes ability to stop it at all.

Assuming those little footy things are hydraulic, I wonder if deploying them would have stopped the crane.

Can't, apparently they're locked out when the crane's moving. ALso, remember that kinetic energy is 0.5mv2 so while chain mass is linearly increasing, which is increasing the speed, the energy is increasing at the square of that, so you very rapidly run out of headroom on being able to effectively apply the brake.

It's quite clearly labeled though 1) base-plate 2) grammeter 3) reciprocating dingle arm 4) logarithmic casing 5) hydrocoptic marzel vane 6) spurving bearings 7) panametric fan 8) differential girdle spring 9) ambifacient lunar wane shaft

Are you sure that's a lunar wane shaft? Looks more like an atmospheric pressure ventilator.

On the anchor, the white links are 90', aka one "shot" apart. The brake is normally loosened until the anchor is paying out slowly and then moderated by a big wheel operated brake around the windlass. Normally the weight of the chain is not much of an issue because you seldom anchor in more than 150' of water. Generally the anchor is engaged to the powered windlass, lowered to the waters edge, then the brake is applied and the windlass disengaged. Then on the order of the conning officer, let go. There is a sea story of a bunch of stowaways who were killed when the chain departing the chain locker they were hiding shredded them. Sea story though so ...

Reminds me of the video of dropping some kind of vehicle out the back of a C-130 and the vehicle breaks loose from its pallet on impact and just keeps on truckin' at whatever the minimum airspeed for a heavy C-130 is. Here it is, at 1:10 and again zoomed in at 1:52 in this video (warning: questionable music choice): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DopZgJaWstk

Chains lockers are terrible places to stow away for a subtler reason. There’s a lot of steel rusting in a confined space, so much that it can dangerously deplete the oxygen concentration in the air. You won’t feel stuffy because there’s no CO2 build‐up. You’ll just pass out and die.

For the crane, it seems like the better course of action would have been to try to wedge one of those timbers in-between the fender and the tire. I don't know how strong those fenders are, but it looked like clearance was low enough between the tire and the fender that you could have tried.

Ironically, that's probably the best way to avoid starting a fire, considering what the Russians usually do in those situations.

Couldn't he uh.. drive it? to a place that had less chance of mishap? or even just.. i don't know.. bring it to a stop with the gearbox and then let it slowly touch a power pole or something. There has to be more to this story. Sure brakes can fail but im sure those drat huge rear end crane things have a hydrodynamic gearbox that would allow fine grain control of momentum for position and what-not. rainwulf fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Nov 25, 2015 |
