I like these guys. My girlfriend and I booked a trip to Manchester from Florida. She says it’s because of the office blokes. 😂
she was referring to a few random guys in Manchester LOL
@@betooo331 😂
I mean... is there really any other reason? Lol
@@betooo331 sounds just like us then !! 😂
@@officeblokemike7914 Except you're famous Iron Mike! Good day blokes!
The one I remember about a turbine malfunctioning was a photo of two young men who were trapped at the top. One jumped to his death and the other tried to go down through the fire to escape. He was trapped and perished. They were 19 and 21.
Mr Ballen did an episode on that. Terrible choice those 2 guys were left with.
In America wind turbines shut down automatically when the wind speed exceeds 55 mph. This may vary from state to state
The Russian recording #5 isn't just a stud for having no fear he did what most people in the world have a hard time doing with no molten metal flying at them, he filmed horizontally and got the full shot! Legend!
Even though it's been decades since the Tacoma bridge collapsed, I still think of that man's dog left in the car when I see that video.
It wasn't for a lack of trying. . . .
@@mortensen1961 I know. I don't blame him. I just think about the dog.
I didn't know that.
Thanks for ruining my evening
Think I've sussed it.
Daz - money man
Dave - tech man
Mike - analysis man
Mrballen Please
I live near the current Tacoma Narrows bridges. That original one was nicknamed "Galloping Gertie." :-)
Yes the wind turbines can be turned off. You wouldn't want to leave them on in a hurricane. They would be spinning to fast and could burn up the parts transforming the resistance into electricity.
Yeah, also what Daz said, there is a point where sometimes they cannot store the electricity produced so they disable the turbine temporarily. 👍
My cousin used to work on wind turbines they have multiple gears similar to a manual transmission. They also have brakes. They work like a regular engine making energy to start the blades then stores the energy once the wind catches the blades.
Edit spelling.
They actually never stop spinning. They can just make it so they don't spin so fast. Class field trip and we were told they have to keep moving because they are so heavy they don't want the gears and such bending out of shape and then having to replace them. There are so many all over where I live right now they just keep popping up everywhere.
I don't imagine that cleaning up that steel factory amounted to, just letting it cool down, and sweeping it up. 🤪
There is a video of the failed rocket launch right at the launch pad. Look for that and perhaps consider doing a reaction to that video. It's very fascinating!
Two more tragic examples catastrophe are the disasters of the shuttles Challenger and Colombia.
The Challerger in 1986 blew up seconds after launch killing the crew including the first civilian astronaut
The Colombia in 2003 disintegrated upon reentry killing the crew.
2020 Beirut explosion should've been on here.
I worked at a aluminum recycling plant for 15 years. Luckily we only had 1 accident while I was there. A guy I worked with and went to high school with threw some material in the furnace that was damp and it exploded. He had 3rd degree burns on his hands arms chest and face but luckily survived. It was such a big explosion he blew the security cameras off the walls around 75ft away. If the front end loader he was in didn’t have a protective cab it probably would have killed him. He was in Vanderbilt burn unit for almost a year.
Wind turbines are hilarious. Notice the ones that aren't on fire and killing birds.
I thought Liverpools start of the season would be in this video, dissapointed
Hello- I'm an on and off viewer, but wanted to say good job with your content. These kind of videos and weather ones intrigue me most. And the NASCAR ones cuz my dad is a NASCAR fan 😂 If you'd like to see more emotional side to NASCAR, you should watch "The Day" (it's about Dale Earnhardt Sr, short videos in 5 parts)
Nice Video! Love from Germany ❤️
The wind turbines can stop. High wind can make them spin extremely fast which can cause the blades to fly off. The brakes are applied when there is high wind. It was probably the brakes that caused the fire since the other turbines aren't moving. The wind basically grinded the brakes until it heated up and caught fire.
Dave, so it’s not that wind turbines are disabled at any time. It’s that they have safety measures (typically at 33 m/s winds for a 5 second gust). I work on wind turbines for a living. Too much wind sent that second tower into “uncontrollable speeds” because safety measures weren’t put in place and it snapped straight through the secondary hydraulic brakes. At that point, it’s in what we call “runaway”. Too much wind puts too much stress on the blades (made out of fiberglass), the gearbox in the nacelle, and the secondary brake if needed. That’s why it’s important to have an automatic shutdown in place once the wind anemometers on top track certain speeds. It’s safety for a turbine that costs somewhere around 1.5M to 2M to build.
Good explaination.
There is multiple angles of the Antares rocket exploding. I recommend watching some of the other angles. One shot has a crowd where the shockwave knocked some people over. But I remember this day because I live in Pennsylvania. And when they launch rockets from Wallops Island, I can see the rockets WAY off in the distance. I remember turning on the live stream that night and when the countdown got to 2 minutes, I went outside to go watch it enter space. I'm sitting out there and sitting and saw nothing. Not a cloud in the sky either. Little bit later the Wife comes out and yells "IT EXPLODED" So I ran in and sure enough, it did.
Chernobyl? Challenger space shuttle? various building collapses? Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse? WTF?
I live up the road from Cape Canaveral I see rocket launches from my yard frequently. Mostly SpaceX Starlink satellite trains. I will watch Artemis whenever it goes off
I can post my wedding video and you can add it to your next "Catastrophic Failures Caught On Camera REACTION". Sadly enough, there is even a "Wedding Video; Part II" from my second marriage. Both were equally catastrophic....
6 Catastrophic Failures Caught On Camera. #6 Office Blokes React. Just kidding.
brug first they mention woodbridge nj where I live 10 mins from and now tashkent uzbekistan where i was born. the coincidence
I drive across the Narrows bridge almost every day and always think about :galloping Gerdy", as it was called.
Look, wind turbines only work safely in a certain wind speed range. Depends on the size of them, and who makes them, etc. if they tried running at that wind speed. The blades would flex so much, they’d come back and hit the tower, chopping itself down, of the generator/gearbox didn’t catch on fire first, which looks like that happened there. They have high voltage lines going in and out of them, hydraulic lines and actuators, lots of hydraulic fluid, gear oil, things have to get greased, so lots of flammable stuff in them, plus the whole nacelle body made of composites. In high winds, they will pitch the blades so they don’t catch the wind, and turn the nacelle out of the wind stream. Or they should, and they should do it automatically, so more than likely they had some kinda of failure, and the gearbox caught on fire/generator. Also, they can selectively shut down individual ones, or rows based on the amount of power needed, as you can’t just keep putting more and more power into the grid. If it’s not being used. Plus that’s just extra wear and tear of you don’t need to power at the moment.
BTW, that was a Russian rocket engine that failed in that Antares launch.
I'm surprised the Challenger space shuttle disaster isn't inclued. That actually had people on board unlike the rocket which blew up in this video.
Yeah if you're gonna put a rocket explosion in the top 5, that's gotta be #1.
not to mention all school age kids watched it live.
they could but it would be straight to the patreon I'm guessing. youtube can be picky about reactions
They do stop wind turbines periodically. I don't know every occasion where that would happen, but I know a couple: if wind speeds are too high (as you mentioned), and also to get men up to do maintenance on the turbine.
They also turn them off if there is less power demand than what they are producing.
you just know when they were building that bridge that the guys putting it together why shaking their heads at how much of a POS it was, I'm sure they brought it up but you know how things work in this crazy world..they okayed it
rocket explodes carrying cargo for those 6 already in space........what happened to those 6 without said cargo?
Hi folks
We were in Colorado driving down the interstate one time when we passed a semi hauling just one of those blades. It was massive. I can't imagine watching that fly through the air!
Wind turbines can be shut off. Here in the states I believe if wind is over 25 mph/40 kph they shut it down so it doesn’t spin out of control and break.
Top 10 rocket explosions would be a great reaction. There’s some crazy ones.
I used to be a wind turbine technician and you they and for the ones I worked on they can stop themselves if the wind is too hard, and actually for the second one the reason why it got destroyed is because it failed to make wind adjusts and stop itself. Sorry Dave we’ll still laugh
If it gets too windy they turn the wind turbines off, a bit like covering up a solar panel if the sun gets too bright.
The Wind turbines can spin up to a certain speed, but if they register going to fast then the brakes will engage to stop or slow down the wind turbine. Brake failure can lead to things like explosion or unplanned deconstruction
They could have had the Surfside condo collapse or that Israeli wedding floor collapse
You're thinking of Baikonur, Kazakhstan, Daz!
You didn't catch my last marriage, it was a spectacular failure too.
😂😉
The point of turning the windturbines off is because in hard winds they can spin too fast or even break off.
I live in Tacoma and cross narrows bridge all the time its a nice bridge
No rebar in the concrete?! Wtf were the builders thinking?
The first Russian clip sounded like Borat.
Nothing to see here, just a normal Tuesday in rural Russia.
Should see the footage from the Russian lathe accident.
I think number 1 should be every video or photo of Detroit.
react to " art of the choke " by EMP Lemon
Plagued moth has a video where he shows a censored video of a guy getting caught in a turret lathe which is a spinning piece of metal rod... it looked like someone put a tomatoes in a blender n forgot the lid.... the first video seems whimsical compared
usually on reddit if you're talking about the russian lathe accident. they wouldn't wanna see that lol.
That pool deal is exactly why I'll never get in one of those balcony style pools in Vegas or wherever.
Explosions due to incompetence are the most terrifying catastrophic failures.
Beirut and Tianjin (both Ammonium Nitrate storage issues) in the last decade, and the Halifax explosion of 1917 which killed 1700+ people).
Galloping Gertie (the Tacoma narrows) bridge, it's still a wild bridge to go over
Why? I'm curious. Is there weird movement of the bridge that replaced it in certain weather conditions, even today?
When they rebuilt the bridge they used the original plans so in high winds it still sways, it's been 9 years since I was on the third bridge and it's way more stable
@@chemdog13 That's interesting. Thanks!
No rebar? No engineer involved.
react to nfl most laterals in one play
What office bloke Daz described about the pool leaking into the parking garage underneath is exactly the same scenario brought down the Champlain Tower in Surfside Florida where 100 people were crushed when the floors pancaked on top each other in June of last year..
Eerie that the first event’s date is the same day Michael Schumacher had his accident. Coincidences happen, I guess.
you guys rock
everyday
Mike is correct on wind turbines, they shut down if there is too much wind (around 50 mph)
Just watched “Bill Burr gives us a tour of New York City”. You guys would like it!
#FreeTheWind 😂
There is a video where 2 technicians were working on a windmill and it caught fire tragically they both died.
Wind turbines have brakes so they don't go out of control or can be turned "off" in really heavy winds
hey guys. key and peele's filling jimenez shoes please
Why is Daz so close to Mike?
Friendship
Maybe we're just too far away to appreciate their closeness. Ever....ever thought of that?
I need to get one of these shocking security cameras.
The Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse did claim a life
The life of the man’s dog that was still in his car when the bridge collapsed
If only he has left the door open or gotten his dog before he ran
How was the Challenger shuttle explosion not on that list? That actually killed the people on board, including 1 civilian teacher and was broadcasted on live TV. The entire elementary school the teacher worked at was watching it on TV as it happened.
I dunno. Why wasn’t Columbia on it? Do those astronauts somehow matter less?
The most memorable for me was the Hindenburg which I was not alive then. I think it was in 1935. And the other one was the space shuttle Columbia especially with all of those kids in the schools watching because a teacher was on board. Some kids probably watched there teacher die.
