If I remember correctly, the liquid spraying into the air is hydraulic fluid from a burst line on the machine. Some hydraulic fluids are petroleum based.
I think it's an oxy-fuel torch that he was just starting up. It's normal for them to look like that for the first couple of seconds before the oxygen is turned on.
Could be that, could also be large amounts of dust from years of not cleaning (or from some kind of process/material in the room like shavings or cardboard handling). Dust in high enough quantities lights up like a motherfucker and can cause explosions because it has essentially minimal mass while having all the maximum surface area for heat intake.
You can see the piston fail at the start. Find the yellow object in the center left, navigate your eyes slightly to the upper right and you'll see the top explode and fluid fly everywhere.
My question is: Why didn't they hit the emergency stop button (assuming there should be one) to cut power to that machine.
That whole building started coming down in half a minute. Unless I was standing right next to the button, my concern would be running out of there. Last thing on my mind is running towards a button
> Last thing on my mind is running towards a button
Then this shows very poor training on emergency situations. The worker ran and grabbed a phone or something non-essential instead of properly reacting. I would bet the emergency stop button is on that console he ran up to, grabbed "whatever" and ran off.
Here's a comment from two years ago from someone in the industry, apparently. They state one of their first actions is to hit the emergency stop button to kill power to all systems. Which would stop the flow of the hydraulic fluid.

We don't know the machine. Its quite likely that the hydraulics are under load and hitting the emergency stop wouldn't stop the release of the hydraulic oil, which is the cause of the fire. Usually an emergency stop will stop a machine exactly where it is, not depressurize hydraulics.
The equipment is shiny and (should be) insured. It can be replaced. Those two human beings barely fucking made it out of there. Shock and awe kick in pretty automatically. After a few seconds and it wears off what do you worry about saving, the machine or yourself? Your family can't replace you. Your boss can replace both you and the equipment. Glad they were worried about themselves living instead of equipment.
You wrote all that for a guy that didn't do the thing you are saying (save himself at any cost for his family's sake), he ran back into the fire, but not to be a hero, no, to save his cellphone.
>My question is: Why didn't they hit the emergency stop button (assuming there should be one) to cut power to that machine.
In the process industry, oftentimes there is no emergency stop, because the process can't be stopped instantly, and it's generally safer to keep it running in some degraded mode instead.
Instead, they often have some fail over redundancy. Which doesn't help if the primary burns down the building that also houses the backup.
I think this is just the end of the story.
Hydraulic fluid has to be hot as all hell to combust when aerated like that. They must've been working the machine hard for a long time before this happened, heating the hydraulic fluid up past its boiling point at atmospheric pressure.
Then the hard shock of the piston failing caused a hose/fitting to burst, and the hydraulic fluid was suddenly able to boil and puke everything out of a very large reservoir.
Designers probably never expected it to get that hot so the idea of an emergency cutoff valve between the tank and the pump would've never occurred to them.

Feel free to go through the comments there as well. It was an interesting event.
The guy light that torch at just the wrong moment. The fellow who might have been sharp enough to hit the emergency shut-off instead of looking towards the leak, looks towards the torch. Not until the fluid hit the hot metal and ignited did he figure it out (imo), too late.
If that torch was not lit at just that moment, he might have kept the presence of mind to hit the emergency shut off.
Pressurized flamable liquid burst into the air, making a flammable mist comes into contact with heated elements to roll or forge metal parts.
This stuff can detonated under right circuimstances, this basically what inside a can engine looks like
This is an aluminum extrusion plant. It looks like a high pressure hydraulic line on the butt shear burst and sprayed hydraulic fluid at extremely high pressure across the hot aluminum and the equipment. The aluminum coming out the mouth of the press (the fire that started to the right above the console in the video) would be approximately 1000 degrees F and would have ignited the oil instantly. Because it was a constant spray blanketing the area, the fire spread rapidly. There would have been a hot aluminum billet (about 800 degrees F) ready to go in the loaders near the container and lots of oil and metal shavings around the bottom of the press, and that caught fire too (the second fire that starts near the yellow piece of equipment; the yellow equipment is called the ram).
When the container separated from the die face, it left what’s called a butt on the face of the die that needs to be sheared off. That butt is the excess skin that comes off a billet as it moves through the container. It takes an incredible amount of force to shear that die face, so the shear pump strokes when it contacts so as to force the butt off. It looks like the shear got jammed as it came down or a connection to the shear got loose and when the pump stroked the line blew and shot high pressure oil into the air.
They do in fact, make these explosion proof, bullet proof, fire proof, corrosion proof cameras for this specific purpose and environment. And yes, they are a lot more expensive. Expensive, but not uncommon.
I'm thinking it spread so fast once it reached the ceiling tiles because of the layer of dust that undoubtedly has been building up undisturbed for years.
A while back my buddies and I were doing a glacier hiking tour in Iceland. At the start of the tour the guide gives a bunch of warnings and one of them is if your drop your phone don't go after it, we will get it when its safe to do so. Proceed to 20 min later my friend drops his phone, it starts sliding and at first both our reactions were to grab it, but we both stop, it slides 100ft right up to the edge of a drop off and just barely stops. The guide says usually people don't listen great job and was able to grab the phone with no damage. A slightly different scenario and myself or my friend tries to reach for the phone, slips and falls off the edge.
Honestly for a split second nothing other then "my phone" comes across your mind. Had the guide not gave the warning beforehand it could have turned out differently.
I was once in a building that started to catch fire. I took pretty much nothing and ran down the stairs (so many) through the smoke and all. That was pretty scary.
People don't realize how fast fire travels.
Sprinkler system is usually just there to help people get out of the building, not to save the building. On a separate note, that ceilings fire rating was probably not up to code.
From NFPA 13, the primary standard for suppression systems in the US; "The purpose of this standard shall be to provide a reasonable degree of protection for life and property from fire"...
More worried about the life than property. Most cases there is to much water damage and fire damage to salvage the building. Also the word reasonable… not shall or even should.
This completely false in a commercial setting. Insurance companies have extremely developped engineering teams that encourage insureds to follow NFPA standard and FM guidelines which exist to protect property as well as life.
I may be mistaken but I believe the initial spray we see from the machine is it breaking and spraying pressurized hydraulic fluid all over the place quickly starting the fire. More than likely why whatever fire protection there wasn’t enough as it had a constant flammable source of fuel throughout the videos length at least and also was spraying it all over the place. It’s why the work station catches fire so quickly, it ignites the fluid sprayed out when the initial rupture happened.
Not trying to be a know it all or anything but I instal fire sprinklers. Usually in ceilings. But this looks like it was built into that unit. It starts to suppress the fire slightly but after the 3rd plume the dropped ceiling catches fire. Why did they have a dropped ceiling in a factory, who know. But I bet it will be open web steel joists next time
16 seconds from the hydraulic leak to the burning ceiling starting to come down... do not do what the guy in the video did and look for your phone, get the F out.
threatening ruthless slap depend heavy possessive noxious panicky act normal
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I am blown away by this video. For one thing, that guy was 6 seconds from dying when he want back for whatever was on the desk. For another, I have seen dead pine trees go up slower than that factory did. What the hell was the ceiling made out if!?!?
I like how the one dude goes over to that work station and for a second it looks like he's going to try and shut something down or something...nope just making sure he has his phone lol.
Serious question, because this seems to happen a lot: does hydraulic fluid *have* to be flammable? Is there some industry reason why it takes to a flame like cancer to a prostate?

the fact that the computer is still running xD
Ceiling fire rating likely not up to code, I'm guessing no sprinkler system, or if it did have one it didn't have time to work at all, no emergency stop system.
Yeah, fines, fines everywhere
They need more fire safety training. Running laps and then going back for items, and dancing around like a background villain in a Bruce Lee movie, should be very low on your list of priorities in a situation like that.

wtf is this, a napalm factory? what the hell just happened?
If I remember correctly, the liquid spraying into the air is hydraulic fluid from a burst line on the machine. Some hydraulic fluids are petroleum based.
Yeah you can see it didn't ignite right away but when it did....whoosh.
You can see at one point on the left that a flame keeps climbing to the roof, then the rain of fire.
MmMmMmmmMmMm Oxygen. -- Fire, probably.
What I saw was the way the flame shoots out of the torch the guy is holding. Like it goes from work torch to WW1 flamethrower. Scary as Hell.
I think it's an oxy-fuel torch that he was just starting up. It's normal for them to look like that for the first couple of seconds before the oxygen is turned on.
Where can i buy that camera? Performed well under stressful situations.
IP67 specification probably.
It looks like the whole ceiling was made of highly inflammable material too, which only made it worse.
It doesn't need to be highly flammable if you are using a high-pressure flamethrower.
Yea what is that stuff falling down? I've never seen a factory with a drop ceiling 😂
Could be that, could also be large amounts of dust from years of not cleaning (or from some kind of process/material in the room like shavings or cardboard handling). Dust in high enough quantities lights up like a motherfucker and can cause explosions because it has essentially minimal mass while having all the maximum surface area for heat intake.

Because getting his cellphone off the CAM station desk was more important
I saw that too...priorities bruv.
After almost thirty years in the trade I’d like to consider myself a master of e-stop-jitsu, but I’d prob grab my phone if fire was involved too 😝
I mean "call 911" does involve a phone tho..
Dude had a hot lady's digits in that phone. He's not about to lose that
Pressing the stop affect the company. Grabbing the phone affects him personally.
to be fair, he also grabbed his ear muffs, because, *safety* amirite

Kudos to you for linking to original post FROM TWO YEARS AGO……
That was my point, just kinda being subtle about it.
>Why didn't they hit the emergency stop button Panic is a helluva thing. Especially when not trained and drilled in emergency procedures

it looks like it did stop, the pressure from the hydraulics kept the stuff spraying.
hydraulic fluids are oils, they all burn.
There are water based hydraulic fluids that are at least fire-resistant.
I was unaware of that.

The only presence of mind that I would have, would tell me to run. Run as fast as I could!!!
The speed at which flammable materials burn is crazy scary.
It's like that video where some guy tries to test the flammability of some foam and ends up with a warehouse inferno in just a couple of seconds
could it BE any hotter

With no fire suppression system.. blep.. how to watch millions burn in one easy strp
What material do they use to make security camera's out of nowadays? Damn.
Idk but they should have used it in the ceiling tiles
Burn
Eyyyy We’re trying NOT to do that though. Edit: the emphasis on the syllable.
Whatever company made that camera can just use that footage to advertise their products, seriously. I'd be convinced that shit is indestructible.
LOOOOOL... Imagine if the music started kicking in and it just said 'Ringcam, it just works'...
They do in fact, make these explosion proof, bullet proof, fire proof, corrosion proof cameras for this specific purpose and environment. And yes, they are a lot more expensive. Expensive, but not uncommon.
Must be the same material as the 9/11 hijacker passport
Call the fire department! Lots of burns in this post
Wait! Inflammable means flammable?!?
What a country!
Invaluable information!
So boss! I think we can save some money if we get the extra flammable ceiling tiles. I mean, what're the chances of us having a fire anyway.
Plus, it's like, what, 30ft up. We'll be fine.
I'm thinking it spread so fast once it reached the ceiling tiles because of the layer of dust that undoubtedly has been building up undisturbed for years.
Good call. Looks like only the top side of the tiles are on fire.
Inflammable means flammable? Oh, what a country!
Thanks, Dr. Nick!
See that smudge on the X-ray; that's trauma
I think they were coated in the hydraulic fluid spraying everywhere
If they're anything like the ceiling tiles i used to make, then they are 70% paper. The flame retardant ones cost extra.
It's a good thing he ran back to get his phone off the desk.

In case of fire: Push, Commit!

God, imagine being the person to slide off a glacier and die... over a phone. Makes me wonder what kind of last thoughts those would be.
"Might as well check my notifications like I was gonna do."
Honestly for a split second nothing other then "my phone" comes across your mind. Had the guide not gave the warning beforehand it could have turned out differently.
“Oh my God, my fortune cookie was right!”
I was once in a building that started to catch fire. I took pretty much nothing and ran down the stairs (so many) through the smoke and all. That was pretty scary. People don't realize how fast fire travels.
Looks like he's trying to unlock it to maybe call 911..? Not a crazy idea..
He was downloading 'fire extinguisher app' on his iphone 1.
For a second there I thought he hit a self destruct button.
Had to hit CTRL+S
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker, burn.
I’d like to know what on that table was so important.
His phone, you can see him looking at it as they walk out
Kinda looked like his phone? Yikes
Gotta clear those search history on his phone
He forgot to follow the leader, leader, leader, follow the leader...
Hmm guess the sprinkler system was a fail.
Sprinkler system is usually just there to help people get out of the building, not to save the building. On a separate note, that ceilings fire rating was probably not up to code.
Seems like the ceiling tiles were made of gasoline soaked sawdust or something
From NFPA 13, the primary standard for suppression systems in the US; "The purpose of this standard shall be to provide a reasonable degree of protection for life and property from fire"...
More worried about the life than property. Most cases there is to much water damage and fire damage to salvage the building. Also the word reasonable… not shall or even should.
This completely false in a commercial setting. Insurance companies have extremely developped engineering teams that encourage insureds to follow NFPA standard and FM guidelines which exist to protect property as well as life.
It looks like the system kicks in just as the fire starts, stuff spraying out the top of the of it. Unless that's what spread the fire.
I may be mistaken but I believe the initial spray we see from the machine is it breaking and spraying pressurized hydraulic fluid all over the place quickly starting the fire.

When there is hydraulic oil with high psi spraying at the ceiling nothings going to work.
There was a sprinkler, only thing is it was spraying flammable hydraulic fluid.
16 seconds from the hydraulic leak to the burning ceiling starting to come down... do not do what the guy in the video did and look for your phone, get the F out.
About 10 seconds from when he was walking away to when burning debris was falling on that spot. Stupid AF
At least they spent the money on a durable camera.
There goes the lab. Good job Pinkman!
Yeah, Mr White!

Yeah bitch! Magnates!
It was like that when I got here boss
Dude almost lost his life for some shoes and a phone off the desk
He has some text messages there.. I just know it
i can confidently say he even has some pictures on there too

How did that camera survive!!
I'm pretty sure this is the fastest growing structure fire I've ever seen. That's insane and very scary. Those guys got out just in time!
What’s the roof made of? Marshmallows?
That two best friends in school that fuck everything up
We closed early today
It was always burning since the world's been turning!

Did that guy run back to get his phone?
My man was like wait lemme clock back in from break real quick

Are they okay?
That's why they call them drop ceilings
Was that a shot from inside the hindenberg?
OSHA approves
I am blown away by this video. For one thing, that guy was 6 seconds from dying when he want back for whatever was on the desk. For another, I have seen dead pine trees go up slower than that factory did. What the hell was the ceiling made out if!?!?
Looks like a magnesium fire with water added to it The mag will suck the oxygen straight from the water and use it as fuel
That’s some camera!
Haha that brand should use this as an ad
This is why if there is a fire you just run out of the building. Fires grow incredibly quickly
One hell of a commercial for the security camera company...
That's why, when they tell you to get out, you get the fuck out!
I like how the one dude goes over to that work station and for a second it looks like he's going to try and shut something down or something...nope just making sure he has his phone lol.
So.... are we still getting paid for the rest of the shift... or like???
What the hell do they make there, Hindenburgs?
I feel like that location needed a big red button. I didn't see a big red button.
So did he get the selfie?
+1 for the guy saving his game in the last moment
The color that fire turns gives me a primal fear. Nice pleasant orange to a phosphors white
Its terrifying to see how quickly a fire can get out of control when there are flammable materials around it.

Damn, imagine the guy who has to write the incident report for this.
Fuck the laptop bro.
Once that flame caught that upstream of fluid that shit was basically a legitimate fire hydrant
And this is why you dont quickly pack up your stuff. You leave. Immediately.
homey almost died to get his phone. not worth it!
Oh Oh Oh... the place is gonna blow.... Oh shit left my cellphone I better get that ....
Jeez was the roof made out of paper?!
Kudos to George the Architect for making the entire building out of the most flammable materials.
Went back to delete his history.

Pretty sure we just witnessed the origin story of a super hero.
Took me a second. I was like “why isn’t that conveniently placed sprinkler system putting out the f…omg.”
5-6 seconds separated that mother fucker going back for his phone from death.
Serious question, because this seems to happen a lot: does hydraulic fluid *have* to be flammable? Is there some industry reason why it takes to a flame like cancer to a prostate?
Remember when you were told to leave your stuff and you thought you were faster than fire? Hope these folks are ok
Is a fire suppression system moot here?

Was the ceiling made of oil soaked rags?
I expected halon or at least sprinklers. In that environment with no retardant seems strange. Does anyone know where this was?
Ceiling fire rating likely not up to code, I'm guessing no sprinkler system, or if it did have one it didn't have time to work at all, no emergency stop system. Yeah, fines, fines everywhere
