I saw the picture of the 401 cartop sheave that punched through the MR slab, and was interested about what other things people have seen over the years in the industry that were dangerous or catastrophic?
I'm only a young mechanic been in the game for 6 years, i haven't seen too many strange or dangerous incidents. One thing i have seen were building maintenance staff using the elevator to move a safe from the top floor to the basement. The safe exceeded the payload, and when we got there, the car was firmly on the buffer, the car had drifted away from floor and sailed into the pit haha. They had to use a gas axe to cut the safe into small pieces to get it out and have the lift move again.
