Man From LOX

[Auburn2324]

and oh joy i get to use this stuff.. im a AME Mechanic at A School at NAS Penscola right now for the marine corps

[Robin360]

I typed in Navy Safety Video and this showed up... shame that this is the first time I've seen this! I'm currently in the Navy and I definitely think they should make videos like this nowadays. Sailors think they're indestructive!

[wildebeest3]

God Bless the poor Sailor at the end. And God Bless all our American troops who work in aviation!

[pmbbike]

This makes me kind of sick to see this after PR3 Luke Mcgeever was killed on the Independence in 1991. R.I.P.

[skipplet]

I wouldn't call it sexist... but whatever.

[guamsst]

This movie is legendary among Air Force Fuels troops. I never understood though. If there is anything LOX is dangerous to mix with, it is hydrocarbon fuels. So if they are worried about safety, why did they hand LOX storage and issue over to the FUELS career field? It's really not that dangerous if you follow the safety basics. Worst I have had happen is minor stinging of the skin from playing in the lox and a few "pops" from stepping on liquid on the ground.

[augdog1230]

Thank You for uploading this! I am aware of the hazards of LOX spilt on tarmac but just how sensitive it is to shock was an eye opener

[MolassesPBongwater]

I saw that film in '71 at AO "A" School at NAS JAX.

[MrBigturdball]

My dad watched this movie in tech school back in 1978 then i watched it in tech school in 2007.

[Kevart1208]

I remember watching the film at Nellis AFB in 1978. I always keep this film in mind when I serviced LOX. I was told in training you had to respect it. I worked with many people that were afraid servicing LOX.

[HarmacAttack]

Watched this in 1995 in the Canadian Air Force. It was on reel-to-reel and they warned the class it was really sexist but thought the message was good so they would play it. All the guys laughed, not all the women. I doubt they ever played it again.

So happy to find this. Hilarious to say the least and I'll nev er forgot the dangers of LOX.

[qboxer]

@HarmacAttack No doubt the female WOGs didn't find it so funny. ;) But then again I'm in an infantry unit, so shit like this makes everyone grin.

[Starphot]

I saw this on the USS JFK (CV-67) when I reported in 1972 during an initiation talk by the ship's XO. I still remember this and talked about this particular safety flick.

[Hogasofa]

what is lox

[airdaleva42]

@Hogasofa Liquid oxygen.Used in aircraft for crew breathing

[LooseRivet2103]

Saw this film in 1978 at RAF Halton and then we had a lox accident in training. After seeing this film one of the lads ran across a live airfield to get away from the accident.

[peterlesliegordon]

@LooseRivet2103 The film is still used at DCAE Cosford to this day.

[southern1967m]

Oh and we saw the girls version. It was like 1987.

[southern1967m]

I saw this film in tech school in the USAF. We called it the "pizza man" film. They stopped showing it because a lot of guys were so freaked out they would refuse to handle lox at all.

[uberslacker5000]

I just came through tech school at Sheppard AFB and our instructor showed us this video when we were learning about servicing aircraft with LOX. Still a few scenes missing in the AF's version, a great video none the less.

[ghost762]

Age A school memories. They don't play that for the new kids these days.

[MaestroPhilbin]

I saw this exact film in flight desk Firefighting at Miramar in '79. It;'s the same. A very dramatic ending which I have never forgotten.

[darkwandknight]

I never seen this vid before.... I think E&E Tech school stopped showing this. But thats one thing they heavily teach... dont F with LOX or it will F you up

[simon726]

Liquid Oxygen - Don't run the risk!

[gothur102403]

Im Air Force POL and we saw this video in tech school (minus the hot girls lol) and yea i fill LOX and LIN carts every other day or so,,, kinda cool but you do have to watch out saw a minor explosion the other day(although a dumbass did it on purpose) nobody was hurt and it was kind of a reality check coulda been my leg!

[edybeast]

I was USAF POL back in the 70s (Castle AFB, 93 SUPS). Did my tech school at Chanute (no hot girls for us, either). Never worked with LOX, only trained with LN.

[JoelThedude4u]

4:20

"wana go to the beach?"

hell yeah baby, why we are on that why dont we get high on this lox!

[just1left2002]

im in navy cryogenics class right now and saw this video yesterday. it sure brings reality to the whole subject.

[oscarscheepstra]

you should pay attention to the class.

[redalrt4]

Saw it and showed it as an instructor at Sheppard AFB TX in the 80-90s but the AF version did not have the girls in it, that's for sure.

[edybeast]

Saw it at Chanute in 1975, no girls in version then, either.

[tienshenhan86]

I definitely respect lox, but I have frozen a gecko before, and I felt bad. Good vid, I like the cursing and the girls, takes away the dryness and promotes focus and attentiveness. Nowadays I got in trouble for saying hell even though it is in our song. Wondering if anyone has herd of the guy who stomped on a small amount and blew his foot off, Or if its a story?

[edybeast]

I heard the potential for that happening in my tech school (Chanute, 1975, when dinosaurs roamed SAC bases, lol). We were told spilled LOX on asphalt will either explode or bead up, and the beads would explode if stepped on.

[nasiriyah110]

The Air Force used to show this film as well... I first saw it in the fall of 1989 when I was tech school. I maintain aircraft LOX systems. They haven't (officially)shown this video in years because apparently political correctness trumps reality. POL, the crew chiefs, and electro-environmental all deal with it. Interestingly enough, I have seen three mishaps due to gaseous oxygen problems but never due to LOX.

[studlydiver19]

yea its still getting shown as a training video

[BLu3mach1n3]

I just went through ELEN tech school last year from Jan - June. They showed us this video.

[WpgJets17]

actually i just did this course the other day and they still show it

[dragonfoe]

Oh yeah, forgot POL had to work near this stuff too. POL had less to worry about from JP4 then they did from this stuff. You can put a cigarette out in JP4 with no explosions.

[dragonfoe]

Had to store this stuff when I was in the Air Force, supply personnel have the REAL hazardous duty!!

[manfromlox]

Thank the US Government, they made this training film, and it was ment to save Navy sailors from this outcome.

[10mintwo]

yeah I know. I'm sure it worked. though I doubt the story behind it. those burns are so horribly severe it would have taken a VERY large amount of liquid oxygen to cause that. I don't doubt the potential for liquid oxygen to cause bad fires/explosions and burns but it evaporates away very quickly. I'm guessing that guy was burned in some kind of petrol fire or something.

[Anaximander05]

you've never worked with lox have you?

[10mintwo]

wha? yes. I've worked with several cryogenic liquids. not in INDUSTRIAL quantities though.

[AdultmentSystem]

[sovietspyguy]

Sailor I'm gonna have your ass!

[Zoidberg227]

Wait, was the bikini girl and the safety officer the same actress? Blonde, about the same build, same voice ...

[jsc1215]

Yes, she is the same woman.

[Racer1505]

Yes because no one in the military talks like that.

[manfromlox]

Oh! I knew some girls in the military who talk like that. Some of us were more fortunate than others at shore stations.

[pbasso1954]

I first saw this video in 1972 when I was attending AME 'A' School at NATTC Memphis, just as we started the liquid oxygen servicing phase of the schooling. I didn't realize that this video was still around. Brought back some nasty rememberances, too.

[cayoconch]

I think the comment from manfromlox on the attitude toward women was a little out there. Yes I aggree it was a little sexest toward women but, in the not too distant past we could actually make fun of ourselves and hAve a good time wheather it was race, gender whatever. I think all this PC crap is real socialism in the US.

[cayoconch]

Saw this film for the first time in my USAF Tech school in 95, it was a real hit then and still is, thanks for posting.

[590064]

First time I saw this film I too was an E-2 in Wiesbaden AB, West Germany in 1982. And ladies and gentlemen, that's how it was back then.....Definitely not todays military.

[fhqwgads2005]

yayyyy wiesbaden!

[kage1979]

bull$#%^ it aint been on ship lately

[firehawkordy]

Saw this in "A" school at NATTC Millington, in 1979. Glad that this is here, trt explaining it to someone outside the armed forces,you can't.

[e633xx]

Blonde chick: "Sailor, i'm gonna have your ass!"

Sailor: "hey wait a minute i am the male here"

Blonde chick: "Surprise surprise!"

Sailor: "ooohhh shiiit..."

[manfromlox]

Wait a minute, he got the cart back, why did she have his ass? I thought that was the punishment for not bringing the cart back. No wonder we were confused.

[upmycrack]

you know the chick who burned her bras is now 40 years older1wonder if she's sagging dwon to her knees from nor wearing a bra all those years!LOL

[upmycrack]

okay but what did he actaully do to cause an explosion?

[manfromlox]

It was said at the time that the airman had just completed filling aircraft LOX converters, after getting aircraft grease and oil on his LOX suite, he walked back into the hanger and lit a cigarette. BOOM! That was it.

[manfromlox]

Ladies and gentlemen, I find this film to be sexist, and degrading to women. It shows what the mind set of the military was in the late "Sixties and Early Seventies". To all of you wounderful women out there, I know you have come a very long way since that time. I am for you, and God bless you. This is a

US Government film.

[TELBOYO10]

If you think this is bad try to get hold of a 70's flight safety movie about FOD, it is called dr FOD or something it is incredibly swxist

[stretchadams]

Yes, it's 'Dr FOD and miss Wayward body'

[Batesphotos]

Oh Yes! I saw this in 1978 as an E-1 Airman Nobody at Sheppard AFB Texas... Thanks for posting it!

[steveg5122]

This film is used in USAF Fuels training (POL) As of January 2008, in a slightly edited form, the bra burning and the "going to have my ass" part is removed, and it is a low quality mpeg video. but it is still classic

[aaaassss]

awesome funny & terrifying at the same time

[WillyVictor]

I first saw it in AMH-A school 1969 and STILL remember it!

[jsc1215]

Classic...they don't make training videos like this anymore!

[aishali]

does anyone have this they can send me? as an avi or mpg. i would love to transfer it to vhs/dvd. i work at a lox liquefaction plant. my crew would get a kick out of it

[slave2school]

Holy crap this Brings back memories, we had to watch this on my QL3 Aircraft course in Borden hahaah

[revnstpaul]

I remember seeing this one for DC. Anyone seen the one where the guys on a destroyer (charles f ?) with this poindexer looking captain, are attacked by an enemy plane (scene of a QF-86 getting shot down)and the paint locker catches fire and a left open scuttle floods the ship ?

[staticgenerator]

Was that the one about (or called?) seven sailors and how each mistake they made (towel left adrift etc...) caused the ship to sink? I saw it in boot camp and about every time I attended dc or ff training...

[revnstpaul]

I can't remember what it was called but I think that was the film. Would be a hoot to see it again. There was some stuff on our platt camera (Nimitz) I'd like to see again...well maybe not.

[firehawkordy]

Saw it Boot Camp in '78, I think it was called Ten Little Sailors, but old age might be creeping in.

[jratzinger07]

sailor, i'm gonna have your ass

[leprosyliz]

This is the best film EVER

[bondfool]

You'll smell bad for weeks... like burnt flesh.

[Pwnzerfaustz56]

LOX REALLY ISN'T FUNNY

dasjoufhosejhst HOLY CHRIST

[WolksVagon449]

F-8s were sexy planes.

And funny stuff, funny stuff, OH GOD HIS SKIN OH GOD OH GOD

[fulcrumSMT29]

Close, but it's actually an A-7.

[Pktmpoo]

Never seen that before.

[deathkitten109]

hahah that was kind of fu-JESUS CHRIST!!!

[lolcheesesauce]

AlessandroAUS, I thought it was 21% oxygen..

[bigbowlowrong]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

[jsc1215]

I remember this video when I first joined the Navy...they don't make films like this anymore!

[EpyonNxt]

I crew F-15's for the Air Force and servicing LOX is easily one of the hairiest things I do.

[TexasTechStudent]

Jesus. See lox, and fucking run!

[densityduckk]

Okay, wow, I was laughing my ass off until the end bit there. Now I don't even want to deal with REGULAR oxygen, much less LIQUID oxygen...

[AlessandroAUS]

Too bad the air around you is 29% oxygen then :P

[rbowden123]

that safety officer, she could have my ass any time.

[unapro3]

Now all we need is DR FOD and Miss Wayward Body

[Atlink]

Damn... I kept hearing about this video from my dad and a bunch of my supervisors, at least, everyone always thought it was funny till the end. Ouchie. I never actually saw what LOX did when ignited. I know it supports combustion, but damn. (I'm in the AF, 2A6X6 Electrical Environmental. I deal with servicing and repairing carts.) Note to self... Be more careful!

[sublymefan54]

The Navy still uses this video for training. I just got out of o2n2 school in august and they showed us this video while i was there. good stuff.

[bluflyboi]

we still use this video for the aviation techo trade training in the ADF... just goes to show how bad things can go when you become complacent or you dont follow your training to the letter. Good training aid none the less!

[alraczkowski]

I think the scene of the ship on fire is from the USS forrestal disaster where about 134 sailors died. Even though the cause had nothing to do w/LOX, the films of the fire are still cause to stop & realize that fuels are nothing to play around with.

[Howitzer89]

Damn.

[Mongoecho]

OUTSTANDING This is a classic we have viewed for years at the firehouse (Old Navy surplus videos)

glad to see this on Youtube.

However, ours is edited to take the airport scene out...

[thejakester1]

thanks for joinin the group that was good

and very funny

[lxgb]

Top Flight Safety Video. Shame modern ones don't have the same impact!

[foodrep460]

I saw this in 1972 when I was at NAS Memphis for aviation school training. This one of the scarier films we saw.

[VulcanBikeWizard]

LOX is liquid oxygene. Anyone who ever served in the US Navy air corps was shown this video during training, it brings back memories. Be careful when working with or around LOX.

[TheCinderblockKid]

Saw 2 Lox pots dropped from a flatbed when awaiting installation on a Tornado. I didn't stop running for about 15 mins :D I did my trade training 3 years ago and they still play stuff like this.

[manfromlox]

Safety Training Rules!

[horsesflu]

Man, that video is hilarious and makes me wish we weren't stuck in such a shitty, PC-era.

I still have no clue what LOX is used for, mind you...

[TheCinderblockKid]

It's used as breathing oxygen for pilots because you can get more oxygen per volume in liquid form than gas.

[djguss1]

LOX has and expansion ratio of 864 to 1. Its boiling point is -297 and the type we used in the US Navy was type II since it is 95% moist free so it will not freeze in the lines at high altitude. It is stored in a cylinder that is a thermas with relief valves and pressure regulators.

[djguss1]

Most planes in the service today have gone to OBOGS due to what can happen with LOX if you misuse it, i.e. not following the regulations as the video points out, nuff said. Good training aid, love to see more, loved the old Type 4 LOX cart he was towing.

[ercoupe27]

this is real. I saw this film in flight school 1981 and I always was careful around liquid oxygen! That poor soul at the end died shortly after due to a lox accident.

[JedOs86]

This video was awsome, That burned guy at the end was amazing, was that real footage?

[Firefly9182]

Dude this is a U.S. Navy training video. It is made to save your ass from being killed for mishandling LOX!

[JedOs86]

I work at a fire test lab, its just common sense not to drop something that is under pressure, smoke near it, or otherwise play with it. Anyways my question was about the last footage of the guy.

[Firefly9182]

That probly was real!

[Howitzer89]

Dude, it WAS real.
