[driftability]

Cool its like lava. Like the song btw.

[oissetf]

Why they do this?

[pumpmaster760]

1:30, thats me after having spicey food...

[xoio]

The music... do do dooo .. we fuck up the environment & we're proud of it!

[Verliebt]

@xoio that isn't really toxic. it's left overs from making steel which is made from stuff taken from the earth anyway.

[AKAtheA]

@Verliebt whatever heavy metals were in the ore are now concentrated in the slag...not life-threatening bun not safe either...

[Verliebt]

@AKAtheA i lookd on wikipedia and found this about slag:

Basic slag is a byproduct of steelmaking by the basic version of the Bessemer process or the Linz-Donawitz process. It is largely limestone or dolomite which has absorbed phosphate from the iron ore being smelted. Because of the slowly-released phosphate content, as well as for its liming effect, it is valued as fertilizer in gardens and farms in steelmaking areas.

still dont see how it's dangerous.

[AKAtheA]

@Verliebt coal from which they make coke (which is needed for steel making) contains apart from carbon all kinds of elements, some are toxic, some aren't, some are even mildy radioactive...(it's no secret that the outside of coal plants is more radioactive then the nuclear ones)

Most of these elements are expelled when making coke, but the some stay in there and the part that does not end up in the steel stays in the slag...

[Verliebt]

@AKAtheA you're joking right? or at elast i hope you are.

to say a coal plant is more radioactive that a nuclear one is just stupid. or it must the best kept secret so far that i got to hear.

neve rbefore did i hear about such fabulous thing as this, that a coal plant is more radioactive than a nuclear one.

[AKAtheA]

@Verliebt nope, no joking here... but I must repeat THE OUTSIDE, not the inside of course...if you can obtain a sensitive ratemeter, you can check for yourself...

[Measton42]

@Verliebt Coal can be considered more radioactive because its burning a mineral and releasing the ash and other byproducts to the air. Why is this radioactive? Because radioactive particles are distributed in a concentrate in almost all soil not just isolated deposits. It might only be an atom every cubic meter or so but when you burn millions of tones of coal it all adds up. Nuclear is a closed loop only clean steam leaves the reactor. HOWEVER if a reactor blows up, different story.

[fatqwert200]

@Measton42 nuclear is not a closed loop what do u do with the waste drum roll bury it deep in the ground

[Chawnghus900]

**me after eating spicy jambalaya**

[koroshbaradaran]

I like this vid, but the music gets on my nerves after a bit...

[Syaiful1974]

Mr Gaolaijun, I need to know the contact for Hot Slag Dumping using the Steam/locomotive in your place. I need to know the contact details to apply in my place.

[vecheria]

Зачем это делают?

[ProfessorIgor]

no EPA , no OSHA , no unions, no worries.. build stuff, make money.. like the US used to. I am 43, I do remember all the mill in Pittsburgh and Chicago/Gary when I was a kid ALL operating... now ? a few still remain.

[lakewood85]

@ProfessorIgor I grew-up and live in Southern California. I remember Fontana Steel, Kaiser Steel, Bethlehem Steel. We had them all. You could see the blast furnaces. The slag heaps. Now we have nothing and double digit employment to boot. I hate the California environmental wackos that ruined our great state.

It looks like congress continues to ignore all the letters from the disabled children in the orphanage at the bottom of the hill...

[billyb4223]

Shame about the shit music - sounds like a thomas the tank engine themed nightmare!

[bum291]

Labour unions demanded higher salaries and went on strike, thus signing their own redudancy.

[razblack]

so, they're allowed to do this, but i can't drive my 1973 cougar because of emissions?... wtf

[icovada]

@razblack They don't exactly respond to the same authority... like China gives a fuck about the environment

[ROBSTENFANXEVER]

IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE HOT LAVA!!! O.O

[sw8741]

once upon a time we created wealth like this. now we have mc jobs! thank you socialists/marxist and environmentalists!!

[Felamine]

@sw8741 Oh, but America still creates and owns the wealth. Unlike 50 years ago, however, that wealth just goes directly to the people who profit off of outsourcing like this. As long as the masses are distracted by "taxes" or "socialism" or whatever the latest scary boogeyman is this week, the rich will continue to rake in the profits while the rest of us slave away for the greater glory of the elite in both the gov't and the private sector.

[sw8741]

@Felamine spoken like a true leftist and one who has never run a business! perhaps "outsourcing" wouldn't occur if business wasn't over regulated which adds cost upon cost upon cost. most people are employed by small companies in the US which are lucky IF they make 3 cents on every dollar, you're only talking about multinationals which employ people around the world not only the US. Your class envy and class warfare is so over done. You can take everything from the "rich" and you might get $5.

[vreference]

@sw8741

Right, and perhaps if we wish really hard 10 will be less than 1. Because that's what we are talking about - people willing to work for $1 an hour; and even if it costs $8 to ship it back to the states such that it only costs $1 less than just paying people here $10 to make it: make a million parts, save a million dollars. Funny, I know not less than five people who run small businesses (5 to 80 employees) including manufacturing... what regulations? Not even on the radar.

[sw8741]

@vreference perhaps not on the radar because they haven't been inspected by an government agency yet and live in blissful ignorance of fines and penalties. or they are in a sector that isn't heavily regulated. or they don't realize all the hidden costs in the materials and supplies they use and pay for. or they don't understand the high taxes they pay go to bloated government agencies leaving them less money to pay employees more or investment in newer equipment and lower their cost inputs?

[cadrifting]

best music EVER!

[cn854]

wow neat video, SHITTY music

[westonsz]

This must be where the junk production begins.

[westonsz]

say hello American jobs! Congress took the bribes and sold us out. In China they execute politicians for doing such things.

[efastMixer]

what are they dumping?

[crazylegs9]

@efastMixer

Slag

[SittingMooseShaman]

P.S. ... "Productivity" is absolutely necessary 4 socialism 2 oper8 properly. The production of industry creates the main structure of funding- Where's the "wealth" 2 distribute among the people? Economics r cyclical. Americas' is about 2 collapse due 2 the burden of over-debt! The USSR collapsed- so the impetus of western communism fell w/her. It's 2 late 4 communism in the American Empire- The 70's was the 'target' decade; When the USSR was still strong! The US can no longer support socialism.

[SittingMooseShaman]

@bunnyspangle... I know my words were rather... harsh. However, I have experienced the 'fall.' It's hard on one to see an entire US city die! BFLO,NY once a thriving & living Gem-on-the-Lake. apparently, you have NOT seen or experienced other & way better times overall...at least, economically. When WW2 ended The Euro-Socialist 'machine' went back to work w/the defeat of the anomaly: Hitler. Like Obama- He wasn't intended... Hillary was 'supposed' to win. In an America w/o "productivity"- cont'd

[SittingMooseShaman]

... you ignorant American youth who have bought; 'hook, line & sinker'; all that green-dick-up-the-ass socio ersatz commie 60's hippie bullshit about industry. Sure, they(indstry) gotta keep their enviro acts together & up-to-date... Your 'teachers' & the spiel they espouse has cost YOU decent paying cool employment/business opportunities! So the next time u see some socialist hippie butt-slammin a porpoise u can say,"there's the asshole who made it possible 4 me to work @ KMart & Micky D's!"

[bunnyspangle]

@SittingMooseShaman Typical ignorant idiot. 

[43932]

China, where you can pollute with pride !

[Pablikee]

hi dont understand what are they doing, can someone explain please?

thx

[Stormbringer1992]

@Pablikee I think they are disposing from the slag produced by the steel fabrication.

[FlibbidyFleu]

@Pablikee They are pouring slag, impurities such as calcium and silica that have been seperated from molten iron. The material from this slag pit will probably be used in the production of high quality concrete. Pouring slag is less polluting than the sintering or coking process.

[crazylegs9]

@Pablikee

Dumping the impurities from steelmaking to cool, normally to be ground up and put into concrete...etc

[amende]

What a waste of energy. I don't understand why and what they are doing.

What happens to the trucks?

[lakewood85]

I wish we still had beautiful heavy industry in the good ole USA. :-(

[SteffanLlwyd]

@lakewood85 And here in the UK too. We have banks and supermarkets and more banks and more supermarkets. And guess what? More banks.... Making guess what? More debt. I can't see it working somehow! Toomany cities struggling and citizens too.

[thunderdragon14]

@lakewood85 Heavy what? That sounds like socialism.

[TheRockaSkinny]

@lakewood85 Why did they stop ?

[Jake9123]

@lakewood85 yea if we did we would have jobs and no recession ;)

[divisioneight]

@lakewood85 No unions in China.

[M1911A1]

@lakewood85 Nah, the eco-nuts won't allow it.....

[mysock351W]

@M1911A1 Pretty much. Their philosophy is: "Dont do any of that here to my precious mother earth!" Nope, send it to China instead, where there are no environmental laws.

[celixdog04]

@lakewood85 I wish we had any kind of industry in the USA.

[007jkirk]

@lakewood85 Yeah so do I in sheffield england!

[lakewood85]

@007jkirk Our politicians sold our great countries out! It is so sad!

[Jake9123]

@lakewood85 if we did we wouldn't have this high unemployment :)

[spreadthetruth95]

@Jake9123 For the short-term true, but in the long term so much steel would be produced that it wouldnt be profitable to produce steel as no one would need so much it as they used to

[Zelarius]

@lakewood85 We do, it's just all mechanized. That's why all the jobs are gone.

[letterpool]

@lakewood85 well maybe people should re-consider $50/hr?

[556mp]

@letterpool -- I corrected your comment for you. It should read, "well maybe Unions should re-consider $50/hr?"

[letterpool]

@556mp correct =)

[LucaBertone1]

bella musica

[teknoterry]

great music, shame about the diesel

[NapierNimbus]

Tremendous sight!
