Oh, I just love these corporate videos they're so unbelievably living in a "dream world". Not like the plants I worked in where previous workers' "lose" tools, or generally destroy them for the next guy (me!). Overtighten, and strip fasteners, or simply half-ass assemble them. Why don't these companies show how to "deal" with these everyday occurances instead. Then it would be more realistic to know what to do.

[@roadmaster720]

or show you anger mgt lessons dealing with the stupid co-worker helping you unload. we've all been paired up them before on the job.

[@yardlimit8695]

because they're not really interested in REALLL, they have their alice in wonderland scenario and that's all they care about..........

I love how they turn a 6 minute film into half an hour without adding anything useful.

[@sofakingrad3530]

I love the paper label so poorly stapled to the wooden toolbox at 6:02. The production quality is fantastic. And these people are going to protect you from poor quality work ethics.

[@viarnay]

can't you read it?

[@beeble2003]

0:25 "What do do if an accident occurs" I believe the usual procedure is to turn into a dead, carbonized mass.

How many gallons would you need to dissolve a 120 lb pig? 🐖 Asking for a friend.

[@KirkHermary]

It's OK to say ex. You can can also use a realistic weight. The best is the trunk of a vehicle with a bunch of tires. Heck, add some lithium batteries for extra cover up. At least that's what TV taught me.

[@allmyhobbiesareexpensive2676]

Is that you OJ?

[@mbeaith]

A couple times starting at maybe 23:00, we see a pressure gauge reading a low number, nearing zero. Is this a pressure gauge on the car or on another location in the system? I'm wondering about the risk of a vacuum forming.

[@beeble2003]

The pressure shown is pressure above atmospheric. So zero means atmospheric pressure, and a vacuum would be about -15psi.

I mean it's not the worst stuff out there, at least it's not hydrofluoric acid 😂

@@allmyhobbiesareexpensive2676 HF acid nasty stuff - i watched that one scientist dude talk about it: if you get it on your skin it doesn't just eat your skin and bones - it tries to bond with them FOR LIFE!!!! I worked summer at the refinery; that along with H2S was the scariest stuff that goes on there.

[@jimsmoter4510]

How long would it take to empty a full tank car ?? And will there be any left or does it completely empty the tanker ?

[@elfnetdesigns702]

Depends on temperature, the product viscosity and the unloading method (pressure or pumping). There is almost always a little product left that cannot be unloaded via the pressure method where pumping you can get most of it if you unload from the bottom.

[@royreynolds108]

The best method to unload a tank car is to pump or syphon then connect a hose to the bottom and finish draining the car.

[@mmi16]

@@royreynolds108 - and even they there is residue. the car is only free of product after it has been washed and certified.

[@firefox5926]

16:10 might be an idea to have some sort of a mechanical interlock there so you can only open one after the other

[@firefox5926]

that said that edjecter valve should probably also have a hand valve on toop so you can connect the hose to it before you even open it

[@firefox5926]

oh also bottle that hydrogen we can sell it later :P

In the event of a derailment and spill, run like fucking hell.

Acide Sulfurique? Where the heck do they think they are? Canada? Oh wait ...

[@SayNoToDemocide1]

Yes, probably Quebec.

[@KirkHermary]

Quebec or New Brunswick, where fake French is spoken. The rest of Canada speaks the master language.

[@ssweeps]

Why would anyone want a job handling sulfuric acid?

[@timberwolfpowler8747]

Hydrofluoric is much more fun. Fatal very quickly.

[@SayNoToDemocide1]

+Steve Otting Because people have bills to pay. Seriously. There are dozens of jobs that are more oppressive, more dangerous, and/or tougher. Delivering sulfuric acid doesn't seem to be that hard, and doesn't seem to be too dangerous if everything is done correctly.

[@grandpacocky7618]

How does a first responder know whether the tank is empty?

[@harrisongrant8558]

First responders will normally contact the train crew to obtain a copy of the manifest, or what the train is carrying, especially if the train is carrying hazardous materials. www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/tr-094.pdf Although this is from 2003, this part holds true.

[@JMeV]

If springs are compressed the tanker is loaded, If springs are relaxed the tanker is empty

[@BenjaminEsposti]

Joey V, That's a bad judgement though, because the tanker still could have minute traces (even a few gallons) of product inside, which is enough to pose a hazard.

[@JR-bj3uf]

Maybe unloading a rail car full of acid could be a coming of age activity. It kind of makes that "No Rules" T-shirt look kind of dumb.
