@@MaTana-t1dyou realize women are often treated like shit too right? Like very often. Both men and women deserve a hug, there’s no “I suffered more” when historically women suffered more than men. Both deserve hugs and both suffer.
As a wind turbine technician myself I can assure you no one gets the story right. Those 2 guys were not brothers and they stayed to fight the fire. We are not trained to fight fires only to combat them if they prevent us from escaping. By the time they realized what happened the entire turbine inside was incased in smoke. One tried to climb down and died. The other jumped and tried to slide down the blade who also died. They should have all climbed down together but this is why most safety protocols are in blood. This incident sparked backlash across the wind industry and many many many safety procedures were put in place. We now have to have self rescue kits and a safety bag filled with a fire extinguisher and medical devices including aed. It must be uptower on all crews and will be fired if caught without it. Edited on 05/23/24: I see alot of people are interested in what I as a wind tech think. First off a parachute isn’t going to do much and even if we had one the chances of it not deploying or getting tangled is super high. These wind turbines are just not big enough for it. Second is a helicopter isn’t going to rescue us. It just wouldn’t get there in time. Ambulances have a hard time as it is to get to us and even severely train firefighters would probably have no clue what to do. It is up to us to perform rescues when needed and we solely rely on our coworkers. Third is compared to other industries our safety protocols are high af. I feel incredibly safe doing my job. Yes I use to be terrified of heights but you kind of get use to it. I don’t even have a second thought about looking down. It’s completely natural feeling of being in the air. All in all people die making careless mistakes. I’ve seen it all. This job is incredibly safe but those who take shortcuts and would risk their lives for a wind turbine is beyond me. Fuck that if ANY emergency happens I’m climbing down. Id rather be fired them dead.

Can't parachute from 250 feet. However, an emergency repelling cable would work. Hook it to your lanyard and use a mechanical handbrake to control the decent speed. God bless those poor kids.
Like this guy said they should have a safety line from the ground to the top of the windmill. If something like this happened, they would just have to hook to their harness and slide down.
Triple redundancy on fire alarm and extinguishing systems with fire safety doors/platforms segmenting the whole thing like a vertical worm They’re ridiculous to climb anyways

They radio'd the other two atop to come down quickly but by time they went to the exit going down. The oil had burnt up spilled all over the exit. Making the small room unable to see or breathe also very hot. The guy who went back in to try get down was burned alive by oil and fire. The was broken apart by the fall
They did have one on the center shaft I think because of this they have a emergency repelling system so as long as you have the main anchor point you can repel from the turbine
You’re correct… but when you have several thousand units in your fleet, it’s very expensive. That’s why each team is trained on and issued personnel rescue devices when they go to work in the field

Idk if that's possible. Look how big that turbine is compared to them. They would have to run over the top, down, over to the hatch and down the hatch all while holding their breath, holding their eyes shut and being being burned at the same time. But I see what you are saying. Either 100% die from falling to your death or take a chance ,possibly burning to death trying to escape to live as a burn victim but still alive atleast.
Right... 1: why isn't there an emergency button/auto detect that releases a shit load of powder to put out any electric fire 2: why isn't it mandatory to wear a parachute when up there so you can jump out if whichever exit is available? 3: why didn't the services on the ground put one of those big inflatable bouncy castle things down so they could jump? 2 people could have been easily saved here if things were thought through better.
let me adress ur questions in order: 1 and 2: money. theyd be too exp3ncive with additional fire deterrent equipment.. 2. wokers would need to have certificate for parachute jumps..it takes money and higher pay .and for no 3,i bet its too high to jump on bouncy thingy. peace
1) They use over 700 gallons of oil, so that type of emergency stop wouldn't do much 2) They aren't high enough for a chute, but still worth a shot 3) They're way too high to land on an inflatable. They need some sort of repelling or zip line system. Both really, because you ALWAYS want to have a backup escape route. These poor guys not only didn't have a back up emergency escape safety measure, they didn't have a single one.
@shae9364 maybe a big winch type zip line attached to the back of the service truck, they clip on and climb up and then if they need to go they just slide down
Firefighters used to carry bailout gear aka appropriate amount of bailout rope. It was banned as “too simplistic” in metro NYC by some dysfunctional management when many men ditched out of desperation & no way to tie off & escape inferno. Dead drop is sickening.
MrBallen did this story years ago. It's really heartbreaking watching 2 very young men realizing that they have no chance of survival and they only have minutes left to live. 😢

@@ryanmcewen415the environment and the bird population. In Texas there're many areas where there are 40 acre storage areas where they stack the old blades, some as little as 10 years usage, 10 to 20 high because of premature damage due to poor manufacturing and design. Then you add to that they have no suitable recycle program to get rid of them. Even when they are not being used they need a large power source to run the pumps that lubricate, heat and cool them. When you take this all into consideration it turns out that the energy output is far less and the environmental impact is far more than the experts claim.
On the wind turbines i worked on, got personal repelling systems. You had them attached to you at all times. This turbine had the high voltage up turbine. The V82's that I worked on had the high voltage transformers on a pad on the ground.
Talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place‼ I do agree with the other comments saying there needs to be some kinda EMERGENCY EXIT SYSTEM for these Wind Turbines. RIP brave soldiers! 💯🕊🕊
No one remembers Engineers who dies while on duty, but everyone remembers whose infrastructure was that. Sometimes I wonder that the world don't need us, the engineers.
Me too.. they had the left blade and it was already stuck to its position altough hot.. well then climb out of the black area to the tip until fire dies out and rescue helicopter comes.
I can't understand why each worker doesn't have a rope system attached to their harness, which will allow them to attach to anchor points on the outside and rappel down in the event of such an emergency? Such an avoidable tragedy! RIP 😞
These workers died doing what they most likely hated. A horrible waste of life all due to a shady purchase. This company needs to be sued so hard into chapter 7 bankruptcy that they won’t even have money to pay for a box to live on the street with. This is a tragedy. An outright outrage. These people were good. They died to the negligence and greed of their employer.

THEY BROUGHT IT THROUGH A SHADY DEALER WHAT THE HELL R.I.P TO THE TWO YOUNG WORKING MEN SUE THE COMPANY AND STATE.
Right...
1: why isn't there an emergency button/auto detect that releases a shit load of powder to put out any electric fire
2: why isn't it mandatory to wear a parachute when up there so you can jump out if whichever exit is available?
3: why didn't the services on the ground put one of those big inflatable bouncy castle things down so they could jump?
2 people could have been easily saved here if things were thought through better.
The fvckin bounce castle bro that's what I'm saying
let me adress ur questions in order:
1 and 2: money. theyd be too exp3ncive with additional fire deterrent equipment.. 2. wokers would need to have certificate for parachute jumps..it takes money and higher pay .and for no 3,i bet its too high to jump on bouncy thingy. peace
1) They use over 700 gallons of oil, so that type of emergency stop wouldn't do much 2) They aren't high enough for a chute, but still worth a shot 3) They're way too high to land on an inflatable.
They need some sort of repelling or zip line system. Both really, because you ALWAYS want to have a backup escape route. These poor guys not only didn't have a back up emergency escape safety measure, they didn't have a single one.
@shae9364 maybe a big winch type zip line attached to the back of the service truck, they clip on and climb up and then if they need to go they just slide down
Chute would never open in time
God Bless these two men and thier family🙏❤
brothers
God? If he exists, Didn't he take their lives?
He blessed the s out of them!
R.I.P. to those 2 souls.
Firefighters used to carry bailout gear aka appropriate amount of bailout rope. It was banned as “too simplistic” in metro NYC by some dysfunctional management when many men ditched out of desperation & no way to tie off & escape inferno. Dead drop is sickening.
😢
RIP..
They were up there for "us"..
Thank you for your service 🙏
They were up there for neoliberal douchebags. Like most of us, they were f*d.
I can't understand why there isn't a fire suppressant system on these very large expensive turbines.
Nothing can be salvaged from this one anyway.
Get rid of those hideous eyesores. They have zero effect.
Almost 15% of the electricity in The Netherlands (where this video is from) comes from wind turbines.
Oh boy you should stop eating crayons and do research before typing things.
@@Openup0911
Natural Gas is the way to go, and Nuclear. Windmills are inefficient.
@@Wanamaker1946 Damn how much did big oil pay you to type that
MrBallen did this story years ago. It's really heartbreaking watching 2 very young men realizing that they have no chance of survival and they only have minutes left to live. 😢
Note to self. Never climb a turbine without a length of rope.
This breaks my heart, please cherish every moment of your life, you never know when it is your time to go.
Those turbines are nothing but trouble. Very expensive, an eyesore,very inefficient,kills scores of birds, loud,and now has killed people. Pure idiocy!
It should be mandatory for these workers to wear a low-altitude parachute.
Should have mandatory safety ropes and parachutes,sue companies for every cent ,saftey and jail bosses
Ey
The ones that design ain’t the ones that build, let alone maintain.
Parachutes 😂😂😂😂 damn your dumb
Yes!!! I was thinking parachute
Parachutes and training would be ideal imagine the last one of the day climb down or jump 😂
Need a minimum of 200 feet for the chute to deploy properly and slow you down from the fall.
They should give these guys parachutes … as official work gear …
I would of jumped at least you get a bit of adrenaline out of it
They did
@@Angron_Of_Nuceria in hindsight they probably wouldn’t stand and burn
@@robbielay6233 1 stayed on top and was burned alive, one jumped down and died that way...
So edgy bro
@@martienvliet8812 , why was helicopter not sent immediately?
Terrible tragedy
These engineers should have parachutes in case of an emergency from height
Prayers for the family of the people who lost there lives in this fire may God bless them
A lot of Good god did for them, huh? "God bless" is meaningless. If you care, then reach out to the living.
They must be trained like base jumpers with parachute,
Fr tho still feel bad thow
They ruin the natural hills and hundreds of acres .. total waste
What exactly do they ruin? The view?
@@ryanmcewen415yeah and a shit ton of birds, bats, endangered flies and moths. The Vibrations collapse gopher holes and ant farms, increase the rate of arthritis amongst the local turtle population, causes the premature de-cocooning and subsequent “tiny head” syndrome in transient Monarch butterflies basically just dry anal grape any environment are they’re in.
And don’t get me started with the ones in the ocean……..I don’t know anything about those.
@@ryanmcewen415the environment and the bird population. In Texas there're many areas where there are 40 acre storage areas where they stack the old blades, some as little as 10 years usage, 10 to 20 high because of premature damage due to poor manufacturing and design. Then you add to that they have no suitable recycle program to get rid of them. Even when they are not being used they need a large power source to run the pumps that lubricate, heat and cool them. When you take this all into consideration it turns out that the energy output is far less and the environmental impact is far more than the experts claim.
Comment kind of misses the point of the video.
lesson learned: do not buy your turbines from second hand dealers
On the wind turbines i worked on, got personal repelling systems. You had them attached to you at all times. This turbine had the high voltage up turbine. The V82's that I worked on had the high voltage transformers on a pad on the ground.
Rest in peace brothers 🙏
Talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place‼
I do agree with the other comments saying there needs to be some kinda EMERGENCY EXIT SYSTEM for these Wind Turbines.
RIP brave soldiers! 💯🕊🕊
They couldn't find a helicopter quick enough
Parachutes should be required safety equipment.
That is soo saddening.
The blades should have an anchoring point for situations like these
No one remembers Engineers who dies while on duty, but everyone remembers whose infrastructure was that. Sometimes I wonder that the world don't need us, the engineers.
I would have climbed onto that blade
Me too.. they had the left blade and it was already stuck to its position altough hot.. well then climb out of the black area to the tip until fire dies out and rescue helicopter comes.
Impossible to hang on to it because of the Size of it..
I thought that to but what are you holding on to
There's nothing to hold on to or hook to.
You can't climb on the blade because there's nothing to hang onto you. And it just slid right to the ground.
They shouldn’t be up there in the first place! It’s not worth sacrificing human life for somebody’s idea of green energy!
I can't understand why each worker doesn't have a rope system attached to their harness, which will allow them to attach to anchor points on the outside and rappel down in the event of such an emergency?
Such an avoidable tragedy!
RIP 😞
They should always have parachutes
Even if the chute opened, it would likely tangle on something. Also too low to open effectively.
Some kind of portable fire extinguisher maybe, collapsible rope ladder.
A 250' rope ladder would be all over the place.
Takes "hug me bro" to a whole new meaning 😞
“These were the days before endless patches on day 1” never heard truer words in my life.. shit sucks now.
These workers died doing what they most likely hated. A horrible waste of life all due to a shady purchase. This company needs to be sued so hard into chapter 7 bankruptcy that they won’t even have money to pay for a box to live on the street with. This is a tragedy. An outright outrage. These people were good. They died to the negligence and greed of their employer.
Hated ?
@@marvin2678yea im sure they hated the pay too
And yet another reason wind turbines should not exist.
There’s a lot more fatalities extracting oil yearly than at wind farms. Not like you really care
Those useless windmills are death traps
@@rampagegamingg8434they kills birds by the thousand
One turbine running for 46 minutes powers a home for a month.
@@dr1flush ya get more with good ol coal and nuclear energy
@@robertdipaola3447 ya get bigger electric bills with good ol coal.
In 2020, the IEA calculated that coal was the most expensive power source in the U.S., with an estimated cost of $110 per megawatt-hour (MWh). Natural gas cost $45/MWh, while nuclear cost $75/MWh and utility-scale solar power cost $44/MWh.
@@robertdipaola3447 so coal is worse for the environment and cost the customers more money than any other alternative. So what’s the benefit?
They should be required to have parachutes on to at least have a chance
Now that's brotherhood
Can't believe there's not a better emergency escape system.
Dang rest in peace
Thought he said "Shitty". Same difference.
R.I.P.
They could have a call for helicopter rescue. Isnt that supposed to be ?
There was clearly no emergency plan in place and they wasted 19 and 21 year old lads
(I know your comment is 7 months old)
They couldn't use a heli because of the winds it would cause, possibly blowing the brothers off of the turbine
@@nomanstuber4291
Just imagined the conversation:
- "Should we try and save them with the heli and a long ladder?"
- "Nah man, the wind will POSSIBLY blow them off the turbine."
- "Ah k, then just let them die I think."
Their final words to each other were heartfelt and touching. They did not cry. Their families mourned the loss of the twins
From now on a compact parachute should be included in the safety gear when climbing up to inspect or repair etc
Any place that are high
I remember this happening in my small country. Their last minutes must have been absolute terror.
Damn just dying to make a living
Hey wait a minute what were they doing up there without safety chords?? There needs to be some research into this so it doesn't happen again
You see. Those are young men. You will not see a lot of weman doing that job. Sorry for their family's.
what is your point?
Maybe work on your spelling before making a stupid point
You gotta be kidding me!!!! They didn't have any protocol safety measures, like a simple rope harness, like rock climbers use to safely lower themselves down ???!!
Their families should sue that company that basically let them die up there !!
I live in the Netherlands and I really find this sad 😢
What NL has to do with it except you have a lot of these killer turbines?
this was in the Netherlands...
I'm 70 years old. No, we didn't have any toys when I was a child. I went to work when I was about nine. That's how families from foreign countries. Got our first black and white tv in 64. Most everything was made in the USA. It wasn't until sam waldon and Walmart started bringing in mostly Chinese products. As a matter of fact , I believe it was nixon was the first president to ever visit china , which really opened the flood gates. My children did in fact have quite a bit. I am very selective on where I buy stuff and where it's manufactured.
If I worked on something that high in the air I would always have a parachute on my backpack
That’s pretty sad tbh😢
Bro could have jump while the fire fighter also prepare the big air bag thing
Bruh shut up dude if they jump they'll die💀
Netherlands buying turbines second hand from a shady "dealer" is so fucking stupid and cost them two lives
man, they were awfully young to be doing that kind of work. seems like it would require very technical specialists like people who graduated college.
This BS should NEVER happen.ALWAYS have a secondary escape.
I would NEVER climb that high without a parachute. Nothing just sad there.
Wind turbines kill birds as the blades when moving are difficult to see. Now, with these two workers' deaths, I hope they put safety measures in place.
