It is hard to believe that a 1 billion $ cost platform does not have protective mechanism..... for example to make a simple safety net or cover In a drill hole, 1 meter below the surface, which works only when no drill is placed in the drill hole , so that such small things do not fall down...

So that’s why all those guys Who work on drilling rigs are missing fingers

Magnet fishing...

Strange recomendation

Bruh, just pull it back out. No biggie

They don’t call him Bradley Butter Fingers for nothing

that poor guy's whole life flashed before his eyes. looked like he was fending off a panic attack, even, with the way he curled up in the corner. i know this is an ancient video, but i hope he's okay wherever he is now. we've all had moments like this where we screw up astronomically & can't even think straight in fear of the retribution sure to follow

слаженная команда😂

Hopefully the blinds were closed. If not someone’s getting ran off.

Couldn't count the hrs we've spent working on them.

Probably the "Owner's" fault for not replacing worn out, bent and damaged gear.

Seems like they need a $3 million dollar piece of string or some sort of failsafe to prevent it escaping into the whole, perhaps something like the doors found on jumbo jets

As a self proclaimed expert in these matters I can confirm that this was a bad thing.

I got to forgive me for asking I have no experience in this how do you get the equipment that fell in the hole out?

Former zookeeper 20 years ( elephants, big cats, bears etc..).. ‘If it can happen, IT WILL HAPPEN!!’ Make precautions before to prevent!!

Just need a magnet and a rope. I saw that on KZbin.

Bro when I was working on floor dude had decent metal hammer in his hand second I look back his hammer is gone didnt snitch on him nothing never even did happen after and thats not only piece of equipment that went down there 😂😂😂

Thank you for the video this great information

He lost one quarter of the foot clamps down hole . Depending on total depth , the entire crew are looking at looking at an extended rod pull out of hole . Didnt help that the cables holding the foot clamps together were compromised .

I didn't find the answer but my guess is that they cannot drill anylonger because that piece of metal that fell into the hole is too hard and they cannot continue drilling because will broke the drill

Deep water horizon vibes.

As per the rigs construction, shortly below that bit there should be a valve/door, easy to close and easy to open. Pull the lever, it closes, then pull the bit out, because this simple error costs a lot of money to fix. Youd figure someone would make a failsafe to prevent potentially losing an entire drilled hole from a simple oops

Sorry boss its my first day

Get one of those magnet fishing guys on utube. They’ll get it a lot cheaper then y’all are paying. KISS. What a waste of money 20k 😂

Reading the comments it seems like it’s just an extremely shitty design which lets this sort of thing happen so easily. Not really the deckworker’s fault at all.

You would think if it's that easy to mess the entire job up and cost the company thousands that they would have a better system in place there to prevent that from happening. Just sayin.

typa shit that has me and bro saying “what are we gonna do”

Was that bad? Because..

That is something I would do. Not sure what it was, but it looks really bad based on his reaction.

Tie a string to every piece so if it falls it catches it. Or because you took my advice literally, the gimpy little string you used snaps and the thing falls down anyways. Also, if you make something cylinder shaped that fits down that hole well enough, especially with wheels on the sides. You should just attach a magnet to the front of it, and lower it down with a cable or rope. Rope may be easily strong enough as long as it’s tied well. Rope snaps? Do it again with something stronger. Rock Climbers rope should work well since it can support the weight of a person easily and clearly the part doesn’t weigh more then they do.

Да просто большой магнит нужен)😊

All you need is a telescopic magnet from the tool box and you can scoop it right up. No biggie.

Well; maybe he saved his life...

I wish we could hear the actual story.

Doesn't look like anything to me...

Time to go fishing

Take note activist folks.. its that easy to shut down a drill op. Toss a wrench in the hole and it costs millions IF they can get it out. If not capped and directional drill from another place. All that costs MILLIONS.

WHAD'JOO DOO .... !!!!???!!!!

Looks like it's a night of fishing. That might set them back a couple of days.

That thing they lift up it doesn't even look like there is something just laying there 😂

Try finger but hole.

thanks to the engineers who thought it could happen

Don't worry y'all we all been down a hole before 👀

So does he have to fight a Balrog now as punishment?

Millions dollars mistake 😮

And that's why you always grab the part that can fall off along with everything else, even if you think that it's properly locked in.

Reminds me of a story I read about the roughneck that accidentally dropped a hammer into the hole, the fishing crew came out and spent two days retrieving the hammer. Afterwards, the foreman walked up to the roughneck, handed him his hammer and said "you are fired". The roughneck said "well I guess I won't need this anymore" and tossed the hammer back into the hole.

This remember me a few years ago working in a small maintenance company, with a new Siemens automaton and someone connect the polarity inverted, the 600€ automaton was destroyed. A simple cheap diode would avoid this.
