  • That coupling should have been made out of cast steel.

  • chinese crane

  • looks like it went where it was suppose to...albeit not gently

  • @wwwtotalitaerde Please excuse his mental illness. Martin Bott (wwwtotalitaerde) is suffering from a psychosis that makes him believe the government is after him, controlling minds everywhere etc. >_> His allegedly murdered brother even went to court against him because he didn’t want him to use his name for that nonsense. Now he sticks to defaming my country in Youtube videos. He’s a madman and wants to make his shitty conspiracy-homepage look important, nothing else.

  • he just shat himself

  • it looks like it would have been fine if that bar hadn't fallen on to p of it.

  • wonder if those guys din die

    

  • go and buy chinease crane product. this is the result of chinease product use worldwide

  • Comment removed

  • stand back! ..these are professionals

  • still good just but made in china on it the world wont care some one will buy it !!!

  • ok now a little to the left.... perfect!!!

  • inside job, look, that guy 2:27 right there is making a getaway

  • Gravity is a mean bitch.

  • @Zunga10 you got that right

  • Hey boss, you know those other things that you wanted to get done during the outage? We got all kinds of time now while they rebuild the turbine.

  • Put some Bondo on that.It'll buff out.

  • sounds like i'm fired...

  • get some JB WELD and it will be good as new!! make sure you get the quik drying

  • DONT WORRY IL FIX THIS BICH WHERES MY HAMMER, IL KNOCK THOSE DENTS OUT LIKE MY WIFE!

  • It would have been over 2/3 month at least..

  • alright looks good lets just button it up and call it a day

  • I bet those wrecked compressor and turbine blades cost serveral thousands of dollars each... Good that no one was killed...

  • @Skyisnotalimit yes they do.. compressor blades can cost between $4,000 and $16,000 each. and the turbine blades can be upto $35,000

  • @leexr2i I thought so... The turbine blade probably have ceramic coating too?

    I read somewhere that the whole rotor was worth $8.5 million....

  • @Skyisnotalimit Yes the 1st stage buckets (that is what we call turbine blades) have a ceramic tbc coating.. the cost is more like $20 million plus i think.

    I repair and build these for a living,.

  • @leexr2i Ok, the pricetag was something i found out by som research of someone who had talked to the people involved.

    You must have a very interesting job!

    I do must, believe in thrust!

  • @Skyisnotalimit The repair of the rotor could of cost that much.. shipping these things can cost in to the millions of $'s alone.. and the power companys can get fined by the national grid if they dont make power when they are ment to.. like $150,000 a day..

  • @leexr2i Yes i understand... I just wonder how long the delay was because of this incident... Do you know?

  • @leexr2i i use to do some welding on some of them ceramic coated blades. they would freak out when one got chipped, it was like $500 to fix the chip and if it had to be stripped and re done was almost $2000. i loved welding the impengment covers and vane inserts in them

  • @SSJL4MysticGohan I use to repair turbine blades, blending, coating and acid stripping.. i now work on rotors now..

  • did anyone else here it, just after the crash i could here everyones arsehole tighten up ,then a wee glezga punter said it wizzny me mister

  • just needs a wee weld or 2

  • looks like a good fit to me.

  • I work around cranes and heavy lifts all day. Seeing this is some scary shit. Perfect example as to why you never ever stand under a heavy lift. I bet the guy that was close to the back was filling is pants with pure shit !

  • @P71CVPI07AZ Considering how quickly he clung to that wall I'd have to agree, But if I had close to a ton of metal falling anywhere near me I'd be messing my pants too.

  • repairing this mess separates the real millwright machinists from the wonna bes. remember it is the machinist and tool and die makers that have to fix the mistakes the engineers make.

    my guess is this crane was not rated for this heavy of a load or had been overloaded in the past and weakened. most cranes of this type have built in scales to shut things down if load exceeds capacity. the cheap ones or the older ones did not have that feature

  • OOOOOOOOO

    That sounded expensive

  • Gas Turbine...$6.5 Million-----Overhead hoist from "Harbor Freight" Tools.....Priceless

  • @2:31 I bet the word "fuck" was being said all over the place hahaha

  • You can't really blame anyone for this even though the owner wants to tear out some throats, someone will get fired. That was a multimillion dollar piece of equipment, and no it can't just be used anymore. The speeds that it rotates at would cause extremely violent vibration and eventual failure or strike. It's a pipe bomb with insane amounts of shrapnel waiting to go off and it will not just kill one person but I imagine everyone on the floor would die.

  • Good god. That guy was standing under the compressor. That would have been an interesting and painful death.

  • jajajaja well is for buy parts made in china jajajaja... ok boys go to last lunch in the work jajajaja...

  • I doubt that's $6.5M lost. Just use some J-B Weld and it will be okay.

  • The guy att 2:23 was lucky

  • Naaa...

    It should be fine. Just get that pesky yellow stick out of there and slam the cover on this thing before anybody notices...

  • J.B. Weld and a quickie eyeball balance, good as new. Oh yeah, a few drug tests and a couple job applications too...

  • Buddy boy, wow. Happy to see nobody got hurt; this is why it's important to follow safety procedures in a place like that!

    Looks like a freak failure due to metal fatigue or the crane was overloaded. In either case, the turbine is destroyed and so is their heavy-lift bridge crane.

  • It's the cable drum failure - this happend 4 times in my old dayjob in a steel works - the drum on the crane which the cable is wrapped around cracks then shears apart and wahey - look out below!!!!

    It's more impressive when it's a steel coil being lifted when the crane gives way :)

  • Some body done got the game fucked up!

  • Erm, I won't be overloading the overhead crane at work ever again. Got away with it once. Never again.

  • The minute the harnesses started making noise @ 1:01,they should of returned it to the mount,i see your man was trying to talk to him on the walkie.

  • Good ! Now ask to the producer of the crane to refund some million dollars...

    Now meltdown everything and build one more . total cost 15 million dollars.

  • blatantly the crane guy wanted a tea break

  • Holly Jebus.. that was like an Hitchcock movie. Suspense was killing me.

  • LIKE A GLOVE!

  • Thanks to God no one was hurt, there was one technician very near the incidnet.

    The Turbine rotor is badly damaged. It seems either the safe working load of the overhead crane was close to the turbine rotor weight or the overhead crane was not inspected and certified for such critical heavy lift for long time.

  • Some duct tape and super glue should fix this.

  • OH.....MY.....GOD.....the responsable of the crane must have commited suicide ahaha

  • That's around 34589234722345 bucks loss =D

  • Note the spinning sound - looks like spindle motor power cut-off and brake failure.

  • Only few scratches )) Try to sell it anyway )))

  • best finish to a lift I've ever seen... rofl

  • so, who's gonna tell the boss?

  • 2:35 nice part.

  • My first thought is that the crane is overloaded. The brake can not hold the load when the crane operator lowers and stops repeatedly. The broken claw-clutch looks more like a result of another failed first. Am I wrong?

  • Viewed it again and you're correct. I was still thinking about the accident when I typed that. That fellow in the yellow hard hat doesn't know how lucky he is to be alive.

    What failed?

  • steam turban

  • @jchambers2586 No, gas turbine... ge 9e.

  • Just about 40 mil in refurbishing it.

    hrh... pocket money for the crane op. :D

  • Obviously, a major malfunction. No problem we can bang out the dents and buff that out after break.

  • Comment removed

  • Ah no big deal, it'll still work.... or not.......

    Damn, that's a waste! Did anyone get into trouble with this? Maybe the crane manufacturer?

  • I've seen lots of gas turbines but this is the first I've seen with shroud on the compressor blades.

    

  • @workonitm8 the shrouds you can see are not on the comp blades.. they are on the 2nd and 3rd stage turbine blades.. 

  • easy does it eaaaasy does it....... F@%& it drop that bitch, lets go to lunch....:)

  • 4:04 Yap!  It's damaged alright!

  • 6 hour limited warrenty...*make that 4 hehe*

  • @2:37 the guy shit his pants

  • Good maintenance!

    

  • Good work boys!

  • Imagine if that dude at 2:26 was still there when it fell...

  • I think they got it in?

  • Ja in Harculo, logisch.

  • At least it fell right into the bushings.... Ouch....

  • I'm just glad that guy was out of the way and safe, i'd hate to think what might have happend to him, just a few seconds earlier he was standing in a very bad spot. Does anyone know what happend? I am wondering if the rigging broke or if it was a complete hydrolic failure by the way it floated down ( though pretty quickly and hard)

  • @IcechickenSr If u see vdo carefully u will see sheared off component of crane.

    

  • prepare for crash landing! (Hard Landing!)

  • It only had to use made in Japan. 

  • Those engineers who were watching the rotor into the case are lucky to be alive. Had the crane failed a minute earlier they might not have been lucky.

  • Beyond repair. :( wat a waste of resources.

  • @mayatheassassin123 not at all beyond repair.. simply strip it down, change all the damaged blades, stator vanes, anything else that was damaged and rebuild it... i have rebuilt 1 of these that fell of the back of a lorry..

  • @leexr2i It is possible to strip down the damaged blades. But what about shaft? the shaft is weighing in tonnes. It is miracle that shaft was intact.

    These kind of shafts generally carries oil holes right? so what about stress concentrated at these oil holes?

    Damage in microns will affect alignment of shaft. And bearings will be destroyed withing 1/2 life cycle.

  • @mayatheassassin123

    there is no shaft really , the turbine is made up of lots of wheels all bolted together..

    its possible that the turbine could of bent a bit when dropped , but that could be corrected when it is stripped down..

    no oil holes on these turbines.. only on the bearing liner in the housing and they can be changed easy..

    

  • @leexr2i

    No Shaft? Kinda new information for me. Because here in India I've never seen any turbine with bolted wheels together. Thanks for new info Sr. Where can I find more info on the same topic? Like Reference books or some equivalent medium. (No wikipedia :P)...!!!!!! I am finding it interesting :)

  • engineers eyes and ears

  • GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • oopsy-daisy.

  • skip to 2;30 and save your self some life

  • It's a steam turbine, probably in a nuclear power plant.

  • @RochesterGT It has several compressor stages, and quite a distance between where the compressor and turbine stages are; obviously where a combustor section fits. This my friend is a gas turbine used to generate electricity.

  • @RochesterGT Its a general electric, 9E heavy duty gas turbine.. trust me, i have been working on 1 all night.

  • @leexr2i no it isn't a ge 9E that one is much bigger this is a relativ small turbine, this is in a powerplant in holland, and this plant is small in comperense to the other plants in holland, i think this is a ge frame 6 gas turbine

  • @RochesterGT it aint a steam turbine look for your self it has a compressor with about 10 stages, and a 3 stage "exhaust" turbine

  • at lease is in place!!!!

    

  • Not serious

  • dont worry they can fix it with duck tape :P lmao

  • Like a new car thats been in a wreck, you sell it after the repairs because you know it will never be 100% again. What aircraft tail number did this go on, so I never fly on it?

  • I don't think you need to worry about a tail number. This is a gas turbine for power plant...

  • @goodkarma33

    First of all this turbine was made for power plant and not for Aviation.

  • the work involved manufacturing, I know I used to live next to Parsons in Newcastle, another Geordie invention, turbines

  • perfect fit!

  • I have a few cylinder shaped large gas turbine air filters by AFF. There are two different sizes. They are brand new in the box. Ill sell and ship them CHEAP! send me message or comment if interested!

  • First. I AM A CRANE OPERATOR. MY POV. It all indicates crane winch BRAKE FAILURE. When either lifting or lowering, when not in either mode, the brake is supposed to engage automatically. The small flakes drifting down might well be burnt brake material. This is winch brake failure. Probably preceded by problems before this lift. The fault lies that someone did not inspect or repair the brake before the lift. All crane MUST have periodic inspections and lift tests done.

  • Load testing anyone? Also, the turbine can be repaired...it is a matter of replacing and balancing the blades...standard practice

  • Luckily, it seems that no people were injured in this accident. That's a very positive piece of information. Yes, the turbine is completely destroyed (since it cannot be balanced properly again, no matter how carefully it is repaired), but it's just a block of metal. A value of $6.5 million can be produced pretty quickly by a small team of people, but there is no monetary value that could compensate for human health or life.

  • @phanosh why do people keep commenting when they dont know what they are talking about??

    READ...

    this turbine (ge 9e) its not a 'block of metal'.. its made up of 17 wheels for the compressor and 3 wheels, 2 spacers and 2 stub shafts for the turbine. this unit was not destroyed at all. it was a full unstack of the wheels, to change bent blades, and re-balance then put back together and balanced as a unit..

    i fix these turbines for a living.

  • @leexr2i Why do people comment *before* understanding the point someone else tried to make?

    The "block of metal" statement was related to the value of a turbine in comparison to the value of people's health and life. Nobody said that a turbine consists of one single component.

    As for the damage: How can you be sure that the turbine would still be safe to operate after the repair you mention, with all the micro-cracks the accident must have caused to the turbine and housing?

  • @phanosh sorry, miss read the block of metal part.. but as for the damage, few people i work with remember this accident and the damage was not that bad.. most damage was done by the lifting beam falling on the blades and buckets. as for cracks, thats what we have fpi for.. really is worse than it looks. well still few million $ to fix.. i had a turbine the same model as this last year that fell off the back of a lorry.. and it was fine after the bent blades were changed .

  • Kranfüher: "ohhh... mein Fehler!"

  • Why is the video cut?

  • Good thing no one was hurt or killed. Never stand under or in-between a suspended load.

  • Looked like a flimsy crane to begin with :P

  • someone forgot to do preventive maintenance on that crane

  • It's In !~!!!!~!

  • woopsie daisey!!!!!

  • jobs a gud un  likety split !!

  • someone is not getting paid.......for the rest of his life

    why is this so expensive anyways??

  • @routhoula high end turbines have single crystalline struktures of stainless steel. The production methods are expensive (since you want the steel to form uniformly in one direction). They then x-ray it to make sure you dont have any cracks or air pockets and then they balance and polish for a couple of days. Low tolerances and simulations cost alot. Some samples of the blades are cut open to check for grain boundries they dont want. Wouldnt want to be the guy calling their insurance company.

  • BUMMER!

  • cracked brake?

  • I wonder if it is salvageable? YEAH RIGHT!!!

  • It fits!

  • Any idea where this happened?

  • I shit my self.

  • How lucky was the guy walking along the bed just before it fell ??!!

  • MADE IN CHINA !!!!!

  • crane operator: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU..." *troll face*

  • Thats For Garuda Indonesia...

  • down..down...down...CRASH!

    

  • hahahaha I did work on a 20 MW boeing dc 10 power plant all works gone that much hit on alloys need same work on the cnc lathe again . 1 though of a filler gauge if not match vibration will break the thrust bearings and exploded.

  • Those blades are titanium

    Big money...good thing no one was under that when it.fell

  • @SPDKNGG blades are not titanium.. the compressor blades are stainless steel, and the turbine blades are a inconel like hi nickel alloy... they are priced from $4,000 to around $30,000.. i rebuild these!

  • Hell it's all made in China nowadays. Fuck it, go to Ebay, you'll find this part "Guaranteed Authentic"

  • i bet there was a few bad words said here..

  • Should have bought American!

  • HMmm, this video could have started at 2:15........Not good when the crane fails...

  • Now this should be on LGs commercial were they say if LG can make turbines then they can make washers!

    XD

    jk

  • @themysterypie Best comment in a while here!

  • Look at all the money we saved on the crane though! :D

  • @shades2 hhaahahaahhahaaaahaaahahah

  • i think a pint is needed

    at least no one was killed or injured

  • What's the big deal? It's not like a turbine is a precision piece of engineering that requires delicate handling. Bend those blades back into place (if you can't bend them, then grind them off), slap it back together and fire the bitch up.

  • @C45ACCTE dont forget use duck tape where necessary

  • @C45ACCTE i hope that was sarcasm that was coming from you. of course it is XD

  • @C45ACCTE

    Actually, it is a precision piece of engineering.

    It looks like steam turbine at power plant, which is meant to run 24/7 for years at peak efficiency.

    What you're proposing would definetly work on aircraft engine - little power loss won't be of big concern. They're ran infrequently, recieve often maintenance and are meant to be replaced often anyway.

  • @AgentQuinn I was joking

  • @AgentQuinn not a steam turbine!!! its a ge 9e gas turbine..

  • upsy daisy!

    That angle-grinding like sound at about 02:00, is that the crane about to give up?

  • where's the duct tape

  • It's efficiency was somewhat less-than-spec upon startup

  • if u see it...Actually it just drop off on its actual position........ Hope blades will survive..

  • KENNY NO!!!

  • just put

    it together no one will notice

  • some one was fired

    

  • That guy at 2:28 with the yellow helmet is ONE LUCKY guy!!!

  • Sounded like the crane was having difficulty at the beginning of the lift, should have aborted. lol, if I was the supervisor, I'd cry.

  • I think a call is in order to the hoist manufacturer...

  • at least it landed in place... nothing a little hot glue and some duct tape can't fix

  • just use duct tape give a her a good polish they wont notice a thing...

  • oops........

  • LA INGENIERIA NO ES MALA, SOLAMENTE HAY MALOS INGENIEROS

  • Recycle it.... China will make into new iPhone connectors. All those yummy exotic contact elements (rubs hands in joy)....

    Really minimal damage and

    Turbine restored. But guys below deserve a

    Bonus.
