@Todd m Anything they ever teach in safety courses or site orientations is what he could have done. He clearly had enough intuition that this guy was inexperienced before the accident that he took out his phone to record him. He could have gotten out and spotted him before the young guy got himself into this scenario, he could have honked the horn in his machine to get his attention, he could have gotten out and ran to get in his eye line and signalled him to stop. Literally anything other than sit there and watch someone put themselves in a dangerous position and then say "saw that coming". There's a reason safety guys say "you see it, you own it." Well he saw it and made no effort to prevent it. He's just as responsible for this accident.
@BluesMan12342 жыл бұрын
@Todd m Well I can tell you that "not my problem" attitude would 100% not fly on many big sites these days, especially oil and gas ones. Safety isn't an individual responsibility. You see someone that needs a spotter especially someone inexperienced, you step in and help them, then if the drivers fine, he can tell you he's fine. Not many people say no to an extra set of eyes. Attitudes like that is why they keep adding more and more legislation, safety training, and paperwork because having personally been on sites where people died, when the big bosses start asking "What could everyone do to make this site safer?" Just observing "the stupidity unfolding in front of him" is a pretty stupid answer. Just my opinion though.

Waiting until the mishap occurs is a prime example of dangerous piss-poor operational judgement on your part.

I've been doing this for 37 years, and any real foreman knows that their job is to direct, teach, mentor, and motivate their crew. It's fine to punk or prank new employees. It's a part of the learning process in construction. Too many "foremans" try to punk the younger generation in situations like this. Instead of sitting there being a smart ass trying to f*ck the new guy who is a kid with obvious no experience, he should have had him demonstrate the functions of the excavator beforehand, which would have forced the kid to be a little more honest with ability and the foreman could have trained him from there.

It was set half throttle and up on the flat that's fine we where full throttle everywhere in those slow machines but when I went down the hill I didn't know how to slow it down so I shut it off and down the side we slid😒. I later heard that they pulled it back up and the swing door broke and the forks bent so I might have been ok with an ass chewing but the embarrassment wasn't worth going back. And to top it off the other guys saw me having issues all day with the forks going too fast because the throttle was too high and they said "i would figure it out eventually". Glad I'm past that shit.

If you've ever been a parent some kids got to learn this way 🤷
The real danger here is the guy that “saw that coming” and chose to do nothing. Those are the types of guys that get people killed on sites.
@Todd m Anything they ever teach in safety courses or site orientations is what he could have done. He clearly had enough intuition that this guy was inexperienced before the accident that he took out his phone to record him. He could have gotten out and spotted him before the young guy got himself into this scenario, he could have honked the horn in his machine to get his attention, he could have gotten out and ran to get in his eye line and signalled him to stop. Literally anything other than sit there and watch someone put themselves in a dangerous position and then say "saw that coming". There's a reason safety guys say "you see it, you own it." Well he saw it and made no effort to prevent it. He's just as responsible for this accident.
@Todd m Well I can tell you that "not my problem" attitude would 100% not fly on many big sites these days, especially oil and gas ones. Safety isn't an individual responsibility. You see someone that needs a spotter especially someone inexperienced, you step in and help them, then if the drivers fine, he can tell you he's fine. Not many people say no to an extra set of eyes. Attitudes like that is why they keep adding more and more legislation, safety training, and paperwork because having personally been on sites where people died, when the big bosses start asking "What could everyone do to make this site safer?" Just observing "the stupidity unfolding in front of him" is a pretty stupid answer. Just my opinion though.
What do you expect him to do Mr. OSHA agent
Somehow the fault goes to the guy who said “saw it coming” 😂😂😂😂 Maybe learn how to do the job before doing it???? LMAO the kid doesn’t know how to ask for help? 😂😂😂
Use your radio/walkie talkies which every site should have unless it's run by an incompetent idiot who sees everything coming
As my grandad used to say “the man who never made a mistake, never made anything”.
Sounds like a smart man.
my pappy used to say "learn to walk before you start to run". mistakes around heavy machinery can be fatal. train yourself before sitting in the driving seat of these iron behemoths

My words exactly. Dude had 3 separate times/moves where i would have stopped and said something.
“Saw that coming” Being a foreman, I always give the veteran guys shit when they witness a green horn fuck up like that, it fucking boils my blood. Especially when they record or shout to other guys and tell them to watch. We all started from the bottom at one point, so do the right thing a speak up.
Personally I’d fire the foreman for acting like that

Thank you, and i hope more people see this comment. People SHOULD NOT be afraid to fuck up, it’s part of life. In order to perfect something you must first fail and try again time after time.
You dont learn like that! You learn in a sand pit where you literally cant tip over the machine
Would probably learn quicker if his co workers wanted to help him out too instead of filming his failures
It looked like he was actively trying to put it in that trench, every time he moved the bucket, he moved with the pivot of the rig as apposed to going against it so it actually supports the facking thing.
To a point. But when you sit back thinking you’re a sage mentor by watching someone do something where you’ve got work stoppage, damaged equipment, injury/death…that’s when it’s time for YOU to learn your lesson on when to call a “safety all-stop” and have a training event. Waiting until the mishap occurs is a prime example of dangerous piss-poor operational judgement on your part.
How about, “When an idiot lets a 19 year old be a pipeline operator, sit down and records the whole thing”. Wasting money and timed for the company.
Phuk the company
Cock
I thought the same thing. It’s one thing when someone says they can operate when they can’t and you let them fail but this looks bad on the company as a whole. From the outside it looks like they can’t handle the task and a potential hazard. Even if you hate the company you work for just letting stuff like this happen is bad for future business & “could” be the difference in being laid off for a few weeks or not.

If he fails then those are the best lessons, next time he will gain enough experience and be excessively cautious.
You don’t think real good boy
Well said, learn from actually doing mistake
I've been doing this for 37 years, and any real foreman knows that their job is to direct, teach, mentor, and motivate their crew. It's fine to punk or prank new employees. It's a part of the learning process in construction. Too many "foremans" try to punk the younger generation in situations like this. Instead of sitting there being a smart ass trying to f*ck the new guy who is a kid with obvious no experience, he should have had him demonstrate the functions of the excavator beforehand, which would have forced the kid to be a little more honest with ability and the foreman could have trained him from there.

The recorder was probably selfish and was just looking for entertainment. He could've been a mentor and correct the young man, instead of just watching him fail. It's sad that our humanity is dwindling, where did our compassion go?
I’ve operated for awhile byt never went over trenches like this. Was the mistake that he swung right instead of left to triangulate it better or was his whole position off?
Don’t ever be afraid to mess up , just make sure you learn from it
Okay it's time to head back to Burger King to see if you can get your job back .
This is why I always help my kids when they are having a difficult time with their task. I teach them the proper way and show them how they can improve. This guy is just an asshole, but I’ve worked in construction and it’s typically every man for himself unless you have a good foreman or super intendant
Yup its been like that for me too, every man for himself, they don't want the young new guy with potential to rise up out of fear of them getting replaced, Ive seen alot of that
My dad taught me waaayyyy different lol. If he was teaching me to run a bobcat, front end loader, dump truck, semi, or any other equipment we had on our farm he’d let me get into situations like this. Saying the same shit these guys are saying, “hey watch what Riley’s about to do.” And if I got myself stuck he’d let me get myself out, if something broke in the process he’d teach me how to fix it then make my ass get the damn thing out. He started doing this with me at like 10. I’m 25 now and way better for it. I think the kid running that excavator learn a lot from that, and he most likely won’t do that again and if he does he’ll have a better chance of getting out.
@@rileyhooper7911 as long as the lesson was learned then us parents have succeeded in our job 🤘🏽 glad your father was a influence to help you become a better man, worker, and human. Too many dead beat mothers and fathers these days, cheers!
Depends how expensive the mistake is. Ain’t no substitute for fucking up and learning from it, so if it’s not a super expensive mistake, then so what? That said, I don’t know how expensive this was.
@@rileyhooper7911 your father is a wise man, and good to see you appreciating the growth from those tough learning lessons! Failure brings success in so many ways.
As a young operator i love it when guys go up to me telling me what i am doing wrong. And when I am doing something i never really done before. You'd be surprised the amount of times i get of the machine just to see what is really going on
Some guys won't get out for embarrassment that they'll be seen as clearly being new and having little clue. But after something like this happens you learn better safe than sorry. I think.
We have no context to this video... What if buddy filming offered advice or help and 19 yr old thought he knew everything.... seen that before
@@AH-lw2bj then kick em off the job 😂😂
That mindset and accountability will take you places, i'm sure you already know! 👍
“Saw that coming” wow this guy sounds like he really hates his own life
And yet you sat there in laughter and said “I saw that coming” instead of lending a hand to help
“i saw that comin” yet you did nothing.good job!
he doesnt realize its a self burn, and that makes it an even bigger slef burn
@@asura8495 yes. He did not see it coming.
@Sky_Lake who said anything about approaching the machine? Keep a safe distance and make yourself noticed.
@Sky_Lake what?
Yeah. Because walking up to someone erratically using heavy machinery would be a great idea.
“I saw that coming” I’d fire him too Not helping that kid and just watched him Mess up parts on a heavy equipment, ain’t gonna be cheap
@Caper Guy because machine operators don't have radios for exactly that reason or anything.
Nothings messed up. The fee of 2 75 ton rotators to lift it out is not gunna be cheap💀
@Caper Guy okay kid? That's all you got? Truth Hurts, don't it? Even if they didn't have radios to communicate. He could have gotten out, waved him down, and proceeded to help him get out of the situation. You're an idiot.
@Caper Guy they have coms…
No I’d fire who ever hired him
Haha it's funny that the boss believed him😂
More like, when the responsible person in charge listens to a kid who knows it all.
The really sad part is the man that sat there and watched him do it instead of stopping him and getting him off the machine before he tore it up or hurt somebody or himself
That's why they should fire the camera man and train the young guy.
He filmed it so you could share your thoughts on youtube 😃
The machine is fine, just stuck now
@@Sausketo Prove it
@mike todd
I operate heavy equipment and work in the construction industry, and there is a serious problem among men in this line of work when it comes to being an example for the younger guys. Everyone is quick to talk shit about others, discredit/knock their work, or simply just watch them fail instead of being a leader or role model for others to imitate.
Lot of big egos out there
Ya where I'm from they fired the whole spread over safety issues
Exactly right. The Pipeline is a harsh world I did it for almost 10 years.
Say that one again bro.
@@bbarnettrealtor lol meant to say imitate. Spell check bastards
"I saw that coming" guy probably did tell his supervisor and the 19 yr old is someone's pet so no action was taken.
That’s why they have the “Stop work authority”
“Saw that comin”… Yet decided to say and do nothing. That would in fact imply, you did not “see that comin”, and you are just as incompetent as the operator 👍🏻
lmao and what exactly was he supposed to do?
@@steviechampagne was this a serious question?
@@uselessinformation1702 sometimes you have to let a man learn the hard way. guarantee you that kid won’t ever make that mistake again. nanny culture is how you get a sick society like we have today.
@@steviechampagne i guess as long as you dont have to pick up the damage tab its fine.. Kid learned a lesson, company owner lost a few grand... Who cares.
@@steviechampagne fucking help him out. What are people like you doing on the job site if youre not going to help out.
A friend from high school once told a construction foreman he could drive the water truck, which he couldn't. After talking someone into teaching him - 20 years later he is now the foreman planning and implementing soil movement before freeways are built. But if some chump just sat there and recorded a video of him failing to drive a water truck the outcome would have been different. It is a new world we live in and the trades are going down hill to where - like the police - nobody will volunteer to take the open positions if this lack of empathy mess keeps up.
PREACH!
You are 100% right. Teach the new operator don’t try to smear him so you look better.
Facts. I’m a 21 year old lube tech and can almost make a living off changing oil. Nobody in my generation wants to get dirty. Paying off debt till I’m 30 or 40 isn’t for me
Well said hombre
I mean simple physics said this was gonna happen. If you can't figure that out you shouldn't be in that job.
Buddy felt the machine tipping to the left and decided to swing all the weight over to that side. Nice
Why that look like Shaquille O’Neal falling over if he was a piece of equipment? 😂
"When someone takes a 19 year old's word and gives him heavy machinery."
Lol so true
*as they "see it coming"*
That operator was bullshit but his supervisor wasn't any better ...
What I love is how many people seem to think that you'll just magically gather knowledge with age with 0 instruction, or fuck ups. Reinvent the wheel without scraping an inch of wood.
That’s why I always buy shitty old stuff lol
Yeah its true. But it is always funny watching people fuck up. Like those funny home videos of old. Thats why everyone loves me.
That's how I learned to weld pipe😂 fuck it up and don't do the next time😂 but then fuck something different up
The wheel was stone.. j.s.
Fuck ups are fine, but people assisting is better. I'd rather someone nudge me along over watch me faceplant. And I'd rather assist over gawk too.
What’s worse than a 19y.o. crashing a big expensive excavator? The person who let them do it and also filmed it
Says "I saw that coming" after watching it coming 🤣
“Hey, track forward with the left side.” - No embarassment. - No safety roundtable. - No equipment damage. - First superintendent that ever did something useful.
Doesn't have to be complicated. Only professional and respectful.
Right, instead of videoing it, do something to thwart it.
The guy is an asshole. But track forward would not have worked without breaking the pipeline. Honestly it is a situation that was not that salvageable once he was in it. But he could have tried
@@ThatSB Bucket to the left, use it to balance and rotate tracks left back, right forward?
Could have left the bucket where it was and track forward on the left and rewind on the right and would have squared up
All it took was for the guy watching to say “STOP” and explain to the kid what he did wrong and how to get out of the situation without wrecking anything
Guy who saw it coming, probably has no clue either... saw what was happening, but wouldn't know how to do it properly himself
Had a least two opportunities to use the bucket to get out. Props to his spotter smh.
"when a 19 year old says he a pipeline operator and yo ass believed it "
Typical of the guy who wants the job but never stood up, happy to see others struggle
And so you give him a brand new cat? Should be more than one guy leaving the site.
Agreed, it wasn't really that dangerous.. young bloke learnt, he had a laugh while the young bloke revised his digger course while hand shovelling the ditch he destroyed
I'd fire the operator that saw that coming and didn't do anything to prevent it from happening. As a machine operator you are a "competent person" on sight.
He is not only no pipeline operator, he's no operator.
“Saw that coming “ but did nothing to stop it. Haha
As an operator myself my motto has always been You can learn something new every day on a piece of equipment as long as you don't already think you know it all. I enjoy helping new comers learn on the machines. I know a lot of dicks that like to see them fail too though. They're the ones that need to be sent packin. They're dangerous.
Babe ruth is always regarded as the greatest baseball player that ever lived. He's also the guy that once held the record for most strike outs. Even pros make mistakes
Damn that hit me man, thanks.
Or as I call it, a Guiness business opportunity
Now that's some inspiration right there
"Even pros make mistakes" I would change this line to "The pros are pros because they are the ones who dare to take risks and make lot of mistakes, therefore they become the best of the pros"
Strikeouts are not mistakes. Failed attempts maybe, but mistake? Being afraid to swing might be closer to a mistake . Not sure.
Never move the counterweight in the direction you're going to fall
There goes everybody's Christmas bonus. Didn't see that coming. 😆
Pro tip, the Caterpillar logo actually tells you which way up is supposed to be. If it points to the ground, don't unbuckle your seatbelt.
Ah, the classic teach by waiting until something is done wrong (usually with some yelling etc).
That's a baseless assumption, you may be right but the young operator may have told the old guy on sight to F off when he offered advice 5 minutes ago as well. Fact is we simply don't know so any judgment is based on baseless assumptions.
@@jaydunbar7538 it doesn’t matter. If the “boss” stands back and says “saw that coming” it’s HIS ass. Not the rookie. Dumbfuck should not be running a job if he does shit like this.
Truth is, that kid should not be in that machine. If he cannot overcome a simple obstacle like that he damned sure don't need to be operating that machine with workers in the hole or within reach. Bunch of bleeding hearts! Probably the bosses little boy anyway. The man videoing this did the right thing. He stood clear and safe
@@johnwiz4460 how do you know that was the boss tbough lol
First rule of tipping over, don’t raise the arm higher lol

Lots of experienced operators out there probably applied for that job, truth is that the greenhorn young lad got hired for $15 and the experienced guy wanted $30. This is on the company.
Fifteen. Lsborers first day who don't know the difference between a broom or shovel get 25 where we live
@@davidfitzgerald3653 damn what state?
@@purecash2574 probably a government contractor so it applies to any state. Road crews can make anywhere from $10 to $50 an hour working for the same company simply based on who the contract is with. Private jobs vary greatly so no point trying to place them, but as far as government contracts county pays the least, then state, and federal contracts pay the most because of wage laws associated with government contracts.
He said greenhorn I love it 🤣🤣🤣
@@jaydunbar7538 depends on the career too. If you’re a road crew spraying polyurethane on a bridge, you’re making 20 just for travel to the job. 30+ an hour to do the job. Ive been on jobs with completely handicapped people making 25 an hour. If you wanna make big money, work government roads.
Help the kid and teach him man !!!!! Everyone has to start somewhere .
“Saw that coming…” and neglected to say or do anything. Smh 🤦🏻♂️
When you encounter a ditch with a tank in battlefield.
I’ve seen this happen a lot. When a company fires a real operator then pays a Labor hand to run equipment. Companies can get away with anything.
Labor worker is paid less so there's an extra dollar in the pocket. Until a machine or crane falls over.
The Union Creedo
Who is a "real operator"? Someone taught by their dad? People gotta learn somehow either you teach them or they lie to you and roll your machines.

At 19 id probably say the same thing and say I can do it because of inner fear that I'll be fired if i say i don't know how 😂
You have a radio to communicate with each other. If my boss heard that you "Saw it coming" the both of you would be in deep shit. Great teamwork here...
Well I’m glad that I’m retired , these so called journeyman should be helping a young guy out, I trained many apprentices by putting with the best man on my crew or with myself, someone took time to show me 50 years ago to make me a good craftsman, just letting young workers make mistakes and possibly be injured or killed or damaging equipment is just ignorance at its finest
sometimes a hard lesson drives it home better. I've seen many cocky apprentices think they're hot stuff and don't take advice nor respect their seniors only to land on their bottoms. the door opens both ways. not every blame should land on veterans especially when the younger generation we are getting are total know it all slackers
@@lordjaashin your are right it is harder now days but cocky or not I always stopped them for safety’s sake and I would go tell the super if they don’t listen to me , they don’t work for me. If young people would get into the trades , you can make excellent money and work your way up and be a journeyman in a few years and have a good job and retirement, college is not fr everyone
@@lordjaashin underrated comment right here… some youngins just don’t want to listen.
@@lordjaashin Yeah, we should give them a hard lesson. Don't mind the fact that a $200,000 piece of equipment is being damaged along the way! /s
@@specialopsdave do you forget that government arms 18 year olds and send them in war? 19 year old is adult enough to know to not fool around but they rarely listen to their elders. the video clearly shows that the punk was warned beforehand not to fool around the heavy machinery but alas he went down like icarus.
Yeah man just let the dude fail and don’t give him advice on what to do, perfect leadership skills
