#8 - the pvrv was either plugged or damaged. Tank implosion is a right off, no fixing that. Also in most jurisdictions its a reportable incident to regulator
Starker here, Must have been vacuum but hot and wet. It cooled down, and the slight frame twist was the "straw" that pushed it past that stable point. I would suspect that maintenance & testing were lax because it should have been equipped with a max& min pressure relief.
#6 Think of all the time they saved leaving the flat screen in place. #8 You would think there would be a safety relief valve that would open when the pressure differential approached the limit. #10 Get off the phone and pay attention to what you're doing. Al_in_Ottawa
I don't know how many people have been fired for hitting the roll up doors at the boat plant. Most of them are fire doors & are very expensive & if they are bent they won't close during a fire.
#8 I've seen twice in person. Tanker truck being washed out with 210F water, but the cold water rinse/cool down flash condensed the steam. Second one was a water test on a new 10k gallon tank. The pipe fitters forgot to take the plywood shipping cover off the end of the vent pipe, so when they opened the drain valve it eventually created enough vacuum to collapse the tank.
Can't really laugh at #1. I've done the same thing, only worse. Wooden overhead door was patched up enough to keep the snow from blowing in for a week before the new one arrived. I never left it partially open again, even if I was walking through it.
Told a friend, Mythbusters did #8 with a railroad tank car........wife worked for railroads, her boss was a car designer and engineer and said it couldn't happen. When he saw it implode he uttered the longest string of expletives I've ever heard.
#8: Seen a similar result from a fuel tanker that had a failed top valve. Glad I was working for the competition at the time. While we were all over there gawking at it, a voice from on the other side said, "looks like the welding repair I did three months ago has held."
#8 - That sucks. Well... not anymore.

#1 is a #1 illustration of why you don't travel with the forks up.
ReplyDelete#2 Well at least he stuck the landing, which #3, 4 and 5 did not.
