Even the original design was only able to hold 60 percent of what was required

There nutts still being attached. Huh huh huh.

It happened again in Baltimore last night

This happened a few decades later in Baltimore, MD where the Francis Scott Bridge is completely destroyed.

Always room for improvement in the workplace. Great channel!

I miss your mall videos so much 😞

God bless the tug Dixie process

Wow I was 11 at this time. That said I've been a welder the past 35 years! An idiot would know that this design was STUPID

The Stuff You Should Know Podcast lead me here. Thoughts and prayers to all of victims of this accident.

Very elegantly put. As a safety professional this is what I work tirelessly to communicate. I got into safety as a professional because of this channel; I'd love to see you talk even more about it in your videos.

Having worked in a good few dangerous occupations. Search and rescue being one of them. I can say that preparation is everything. Even table top exercises can help go a long way. Take the time to know the process and insure your team mates are the know can save lives. We had a no shame go no go policy especially on board helicopters. The no shaming part was crucial to making a positive safety environment.

As an engineer, this spoke volumes to me. I say I am committed to safety (and feel I genuinely am) but quite often look at my day to day tasks as simply "another day, another dollar". While I dont think of my actions are inappropriate or reckless, I can/should always take the time, before, during, and after to ask myself "how can I make things safer?". This video has, in a way, challenged me to think not just inside the box, but outside it when it comes to safety. I will strive to do better, thank you Brick!

I like this video.

I never thought of getting mad at "nobodies" in traffic, and if I was talking to anyone and they said that is what they thought of other people, it would be the last time I'd talk to them. The fucking gall of it.

This is so important! Thank you for sharing 🌻

Heroes don’t need safety preparations! Ofc, if this were true, people wouldn’t need any experience or training at all. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Normalized Indifference, Herd Mentality… never could follow that mindset myself. Anyway, the end of your op-ed here reminds me of something a guy named Tom Shadyac once said about why he left his successful career in Hollywood for awhile: “I’m sitting in traffic one day, and I’m saying ‘Traffic sucks,’ then I realized, ‘Oh, I am Traffic.’”

This video echoes so deeply now just a few weeks after you published it, in the wake of the Titan disaster. I hope more safety regulation and awareness comes out of this.

You, sir, are so sadly underrated!

Well said, and well done! I never thought about the huge difference between safety culture in aviation versus fishing.

If you think safety is expensive, just wait until you see how much an accident costs

I work in Air medical and Search and Rescue and we definitely require load/balance calculations not to mention risk assessments, risk scores and weather assessments before we ever accept a mission. It's a proven way to do things right.

Whay does op ed mean

Many defacto procedures that are followed because "that's how we've always done it" might hide a purpose which had been forgotten and wholesale doing away with them or changing them is very unwise in my opinion, since safety regulations are "written in blood" they are also going through a sort of tweaking and evolution, if a procedure has been around for a long time, caused no problems, and has been followed for a long time, chances are it serves an unseen purpose. C.K Chesterton wrote about this in his fence parable. "There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.” Good op ed. I enjoy these.

While I agree completely the coast guard has a us government budget no commercial vessel has that budget. money is always a factor that hurts safety.

The book "The Checklist Manifesto" talks a lot about CRM in the medical profession.

"Nothing is so important or fun will be done without safety as the foremost priority" M. Bochenski (Once printed in the Maryland Occupation and Safety Handbook)... circa 1980's

I always get max Payne vibes from these op-ed’s 😄

This guy does his voice, the same way he always does...😁

Seeing fisherman in heavy clothing with only a rain coat on a green water deck scares me. In my work you can't work on deck without survival gear at medium seas and no one is allowed on deck in green water conditions..(unless to save lives)

We are creatures of habit.

YES MY DUDE! It’s like why are people so aggressive when there’s that separation and transportation involved. Like if y’all were sitting together in the same room that behavior would be so uncalled for.

I'm so glad there are people like you willing to have difficult, yet necessary conversations about safety in your industry. People might not appreciate the inconvenience, but they save people's lives 🩵

Hi Sam Thanks for Sharing!I always Learn so much!

To the USN people, There’s a publication for everything. Trust but verify. Back it all up with EOSS or DOSS. Let’s stay safe.

Another problem is that usually, those issues are mostly pointed out by newcomers, who's voice doesn't have much weight. And by the time those new workers have a voice, they are part of the "it's the way we've always done it" team

We all know the saying. Dead men can't sue.

Hi

There's a factory that uses large amounts of hydrochloric acid. They leave the train tanks parked on a bridge over a very busy road. They also use Norkolk Southern 😬 I hear your voice describing it everyday I drive under all of those rail cars full of acid just setting there for weeks waiting to be unloaded.

That final sentence should suck the breath out of anyone scoffing at the "elf and safety nanny state".

Work place safety begins and ends with the managers.

Nice shot of English Bay, Vancouver, Canada in the opening 👌

When profits come before safety. 😔

I work for a compamy that builds specialized custom heavy equipment. We have an overhead hoist that was originally put into service in the 60s and came to our shop in the 80s. This hoist has chain controls and wood handles at the end of the chains. Each fumction has its own chain. Its not uncommon for a chain to get caught in a peice while moving and cause the hoist to then run away with 100 or 1000s lbs of steel hanging off it. One wall has already been knocked down and rebuilt 4 times. The previous owners refused to replace it because "well it works dont it?" And the new ones are very hisitant to even retrofit let alone replace the hoist because of how old it is and the cost associated with it. Just last week we had a runaway incident, and luckily the guy operating it is very good at rigging cuz if it had failed, we would have had a 700lb slab of metal break free across the shop andnfor sure not only destroy a brand new cab and chassis rig that was getting prepped, but also most likely would have killed if not severely injured the 2 guys working on said truck. We also have an old timer who when operating our 6 wheeled forklift doesnt pay attention to his surroundings and has made it clear numerous times that if he hits you or whatever ur working on, thats on u and not his fault or problem.

A) i see your point B) don't diss da double forklift tactic. It's an advanced maneuver that requires a lot of skill... and ratchet straps / ducktape

My last job had the saying. We had a huge storage rack placed right next to a work space. The rack held nearly 10 tons of metal material and wasnt even bolted into the floor. The work space wasnt even remotly protected from a potential accident from the rack. Someone is gunna die and they arent even going to see or hear it coming. The welding industry is a shit show.
