You can do it over a long period of time, or you can do it in one shot, but it'll happen eventually. Sadly, my boss did not approve my idea of handing new trainees hammers, pointing them at a pile of tools, and letting them get a head start.

How many trainees managed to break the hammer, or themselves, instead of whatever piece of equipment they tried to inflict mischief upon?

Ror posted:https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1391155954494754819 The most expensive fuckup at my job I'm aware of was a crew that aborted a landing (a good decision), but did so by using a setting where the computers that control the engines are basically told "holy poo poo, there's an emergency!", which causes them to ignore the usual temperature, torque, and RPM limitations on the engine. Ignoring those limitations allows the engines to produce 125% of the normal maximum power (good for an extra 1300hp per engine), but at the expense of massively increased wear and probably some damage if the setting is used very long. Apparently this crew used that setting for something like 10 minutes, and the airline somehow didn't find out until the airplane was at an airport in the middle of nowhere some time later, at which point they grounded it and flew out some maintenance people. When maintenance downloaded the diagnostic information and sent it to Pratt and Whitney (the engine manufacturer), they were told that the engines were in a condition that couldn't be certified for even a single ferry flight to get somewhere for overhaul, so the airline had to send out a pair of new engines and propellers (plus personnel and tools), and do a double engine change wherever the airplane was. The engines alone were about $2.6 million to replace, and when you throw in the cost of labor and lost revenue, that particular fuckup was probably somewhere past $3 million.

We (gold mine in Western Australia) nearly had a pretty serious problem with some drillers who were doing aircore holes (40-80m deep, straight down, samples every meter) every two hundred metres along a straight line. They had 22 holes in one particular line, and I guess they didn't keep track of it too much because they drilled 24 in this particular line. This made them stray into an area that was prohibited for drilling of any sort because the fibre optic cable that supplies all of Western Australia with internet ran through there. $50 million of public liability insurance sounds like a lot, but destroying internet access for a state of 2.5 million people would make it run out pretty drat quickly.

Hahaha I was waiting for a drillrig fuckup post from you! We were flying around the highlands at Mt Hagen checking out some remote mountainside exploration rigs. THe pilot got so excited about being on camera etc that he completely hosed up and didnt load all the food and water for the crews we were visiting. Instead, boxes of ear-pro was given out.

That's how I earned my forkfuckler title. five months into my warehouse job I knocked over and shattered a glass sign worth a little over 10 grand. Didn't get in trouble for it since I hadn't been there long enough to officially be stripping trailers on my own and my boss was in the wrong for having me do it anyways (I was fifteen.)

A bit late to the party, but no discussion of gas-main leaks is complete without talking about the PEPCON disaster. Basically, Morton-Thiokol made solid oxidizer (ammonium perchlorate) for the Space Shuttle SRBs at a plant outside Vegas. Due to the Challenger disaster, production had been slowed, and then halted as the pause in the Shuttle program went on. Because of this, there was something like 4500 metric tons of overstocked ammonium perchlorate and other assorted oxidizers stored mostly outdoors in aluminum bins and plastic drums. Oh, and the plant was situated directly above a SIXTEEN INCH GAS MAIN. https://youtu.be/gGSx54CkWsQ Interestingly, PEPCON wasn’t even close to the worst accident Thiokol has had…

Dad told me a story yesterday that I thought I'd share. Years and years ago he was working on tearing an old dock out. The marina hired another company to do a line clean out on the fuel dock pipes. A friend of his was on a raft cutting the pipes with a power saw. He cuts one and a little fuel comes out. Mentions it to the foreman and the foreman bitches about the clean up company but says it'll be fine keep going. He cuts through the next one and is sprayed down with fuel and the power saw ignites it. They try putting him out but its not working so they kick him off the raft into the inlet which works. He lived but with some bad burns and apparently sued near everyone involved.
