The plume of smoke jetting out of the side of the overturned tank @16:48 has nothing to do with fire suppression, the throttle is wide open and the diesel motor inverted thus consuming it's lubrication oil.

[@mikeworkman3593]

The only thing true about that segment, was that the throttle probably did get stuck( most likely due to work boots). There isn't any 'fire suppression' in a tank lol. And while the thick smoke is oil being burned, it's worse than that because once they get a source of oil, there is no shutting them down(known as 'running away'). Working on diesels for the last 30 years, I've only had it happen to me personally twice. Once was not due to oil, but an 8-71 fuel rack jamming the governor(you don't know how fast you can get a valve cover off till you hear that RPM start climbing lol), and the second one was me not realizing that owners had topped off the oil level after a turbo failure(the dipstick was close to full), and there was more than just residual oil in the CAC(probably like 2-3 gallons lol). I was in the cab when I started it(I say this cause many things have rear or side start panels, buses, fire trucks), and the engine went full tilt, don't stop on go, don't collect $200. Straight to 6k RPM. You couldn't see an inch in front of you outside the cab, and all I could think of was horror stories of flywheels ripping off like a buzzsaw and coming through the cab. I shut off the key(which did nothing) and ran for my life lol. My feet went right into a drain pan full of coolant, and I probably looked like a looney tune character running in place lmao. I hit the ground hard and just started crawling like SEAL team 6 lol. By the time the engine died, there was like one cubic acre of smoke. When the engine was disassembled, you can see that the rods flexed so bad they whacked the inside of the block(millimeters away) and cracked chunks out of it. Total loss. IDK how it got paid for, but it wasn't from me lol. I think they claimed some kind of warranty or something. It was like 16 years ago, my memory is a bit fuzzy.

That bridge in the train clip is a frankly astounding piece of rugged engineering. I realize the top of the train car is just sheet metal, but the sheer tonnage pressed up against that structure seems like it would have been enough to do the job on it's own. It isn't pretty, but damn that thing is tough.

[@mikeworkman3593]

You can watch it flex some. I was thinking the same thing at first. But then I thought about how strong that bridge must be to carry other trains over it. It's probably not concrete, but hardened steel trusses, specifically designed to flex, to prevent cracking over time. What I don't get: Yes there was just some thin sheet metal, but if you look at each end of the car it looks like there are steel end caps that are the same height as the sheet metal. Maybe those were just tall(or short depending how you think about it) enough to make it under the bridge. IMO, I think the train normally clears. I guess is that there was a defect in one of the cars, and one piece of a roof caught something, and it just caused a chain reaction(the straw that broke the camel so-to-speak). I can't see that they didn't know that a train car wouldn't fit. You can see how slow they were going also. Perhaps it's something they have done many times, and just got away with it before. Probably mere millimeters of clearance.

[@kurtb8474]

You wouldn't think that things like grains, flour and sugar are flammable or explosive. It's crazy the right amount of air (aerosolized product) can cause this. You should see what Mythbusters did with dairy creamer!

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

It is static electricity caused by the grain particles rubbing against each other/ The spark causes an explosion in the dust.

[@docferringer]

Could be the grain in the middle of the silo started to ferment but it didn't have enough room or oxygen to go full tilt. The extra heat continued to build and soften the metal parts of the silo, then the silo collapses. Then the burning grain at the middle is suddenly EVERYWHERE and suddenly there is plenty of oxygen and grain dust to get that party started! Or it was static electricity. Or sparks fly off the metal as everything collapses. Or the rending of metal at the end did it...put them all together and you really can't stop it from happening.

@@BryanTorok A "decent amount of info" and a "decent amount of _correct_ info" are two different things. I know for a fact that that tank didn't have an automatic fire suppression system, and the plume of smoke was due to the engine burning oil due to being inverted, so that part at least was completely wrong. And if they got something that basic wrong, what else did they miss, or just make up?

[@Kualinar]

Lucky that the ignition happened outside. It quickly consumed the dust without anything to restrict the expansion.

[@mikeworkman3593]

It would have been nearly impossible for it to happen pre-collapse. Without a suitable ignition source, the dust needed an abundant source of O2, along with a spark(probably from metal scaping) to ignite it.

[@c.e.g7448]

Those cranes in Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands could easily carry the load of the bridge deck; no problems there. The problem was that the cranes were on special pontoons floating on the water. When the cranes took the load, the pontoons sank deeper into the water. Because of this the position of the cranes was no longer straight. When making the calculations for this hoist, they did not take that into account. When the cranes started turning to get the bridgedeck into the right position, the center of gravity shifted outside one crane's footprint. This caused most of the load to be transferred to only one crane. That crane collapsed and the rest followed. This was the new bridge deck that was supposed to be hoisted in place that day. All in all, the renovation of the bridge took about 8 months longer because of this accident.

They put on life jackets and tried blowing horns as loud as they could to signal for help to no avail. They kept blowing horns and waving for help as they continued to sink, until another boat passing buy saw what was wrong and stopped by to help. They managed to tow the boat to shore and lift it onto the trailer to bring it home. What had happened is, the boat wasn’t properly maintained at the winter so when we bought the boat, we bought it improperly maintained. Because of this, the pumps that were supposed to pump water into the engine to keep it from overheating was pumping water INTO THE BOAT.

There was one death in the Dutch bridge accident, a dog was killed in one of the houses 😟 I'm not a crane expert, but i have lifted machines over 70 tons, and you have to be very aware of 3 things: 1 Is the crane stable? 2 Heavy loads have a LOT of momentum, you have to lift and rotate them VERY SLOWLY otherwise you put way more lateral force on the crane, simply put; that the load will pull it sideways if you move too fast. Here they had 2 cranes to spread the load, but that means they both have to move in perfect unison, these ones did not. 3; The barges. Proper ballast placing on the boats. Once the bridge part went over the side, the barges will obviously want to list over, you can compensate a little by tying them to the shore etc, and pump water in tanks from one side of the barge to another. That is how they test airliners to simulate passengers moving around the plane. These guys moved way too fast!

I don't see a guy in the van. At 1/4 speed, you can see that the hand is actually the door frame.

Years of bad weather probably destroyed that ancient wall. So sad. Pompeii in Italy is having similar problems.

25 years ago I used a bike to ride round on the top of the fortress wall in Xian! It was part of a travel to look at the famous clay soldiers, after a visit to Beijing!!

6:30 The manufacturers of mobile cranes insist that they can only be set up on solid ground and not on a swaying ship. In addition, one crane was weaker than the other. When it became too heavy for the weaker crane, the others couldn't hold it either.

The smoke from the tank is the engine exhaust, it got darker because, when it rolled over, the engine oil went into the cylinders thus being burned with the fuel causing the dark smoke as well as the huge amount of smoke after the tank was totally upside down, the throttle might have gotten stuck, from the sounds of it I'd say it was from what's called a runaway diesel engine, this happens when a diesel engine ingests hydrocarbons or a flammable vapor through the air intake system and uses it as a fuel source, the only way to stop it is to cut off the engines air supply.

[@cambridgemart2075]

Nothing to do with the throttle, as soon as the engine starts pumping its own oil into the cylinders it has become uncontrollable.

7: they said they miss calculated the boat weight/angle, but as you can see there was more wrong with it. i spoke to one of the people working there saying they lied allot for insurance, and they must had payed money to the investigation for hiding the obvious..

Dude, the person asleep was on the ferry! The fishing boat had the right of way.
