Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@zerocodefx1698 says : Misleading title, it was tampered with so it would have worked..>> <<@Bread-b3m says : Escalator mechanic here. It was disabled because it keeps tripping and the company doesn’t want to give us what we need to fix it properly.>> <<@RedGuy-wy2gg says : Guess escalators can break, I thought they just become stairs>> <<@bgold2007 says : Another too short video>> <<@georges7259 says : The fool is always bigger than the proof.>> <<@PatrykSwata says : i met veritassium in person months ago and he acted weird>> <<@leechap3 says : The full video of this incident is on the channel.>> <<@xDeLoVaN says : I often see emergency exists being locked up, principal reason to stop people from using them when NOT in an emergency.>> <<@VincentNortey says : Omg when did you get so old😭>> <<@theoofshow69420 says : Who in their right mind would tamper with the backup?>> <<@thefifthsith says : Weeeeeeee>> <<@mikerphone. says : "Someone"... the owner. Who didn't want to break a 5k-10k dollar part>> <<@lukecutchen says : Were people injured?>> <<@blauemadeleine says : On 23 October 2018, an escalator at Repubblica metro station in Rome malfunctioned and accelerated uncontrollably while crowded with football fans. The incident occurred just over an hour before the UEFA Champions League match between CSKA Moscow and AS Roma at the Olympic Stadium. Key facts: - 24 people were injured, 7 seriously. One person had a foot partially crushed, and at least two others required surgery for leg injuries. - Most of the injured were CSKA Moscow fans heading to the stadium. - Video footage showed the escalator suddenly speeding up, causing people to tumble and become trapped at the bottom, with stairs crumpling and exposing jagged metal plates. - Initial reports suggested fans were jumping or dancing on the escalator, but this was later disproven by police reviewing the footage.>> <<@GAMER64T69420 says : 37 mentioned>> <<@nasiruddinsaikh5116 says : You're getting old 😢>> <<@Remyeijssen says : Just use a worm gear drive>> <<@notaspy3751 says : Who the hell thinks “yeah let’s zip tie this safety mechanism shut, I’m sure nothing dangerous can happen”?>> <<@knockturnall says : It's also astonishing how many cable car disasters happened because someone disabled a malfunctioning safety device instead of fixing it.>> <<@anthonyiannone7618 says : now the dems want to ban Rip Ties.>> <<@cladosdiamantes8786 says : Clearly sabotage>> <<@VOROX_Audio says : What's absolutely insane to me here is that there was a plastic strap on only one of the things. Someone went in there, fully intending to disable that emergency mechanism, but only did it halfsies. I have no idea why you would do such a thing, but IF you were gonna do it, why do it only halfway???>> <<@Golddust110 says : Someone did maintenance and forgot their zip tie>> <<@averycheesypotato says : People always imagine elevators suddenly falling many stories down, but never appreciate how dangerous escalators can actually be>> <<@bloocheez3 says : Why did people keep getting on once it was obvious the thing was bugging out?>> <<@Dragoneer says : Weeeeeee>> <<@arkama67 says : probably last maintenance technician>> <<@goldoshaino says : This is quite common in Italy actually, there have been at least a couple company owners sentenced to jail because they disabled machines's safety measures and workers died. Deaths on the job are generally quite high in Italy as the managements will absolutely screw over everyone else to make more profits.>> <<@berryesseen says : AI slop>> <<@q.u.g.a says : Average ATAC moment>> <<@nachotwooo says : bro i thought this was an elevator, my brain skipped the beginning 😂>> <<@rsboi-yt says : looks like the safety rules were running low on red ink.>> <<@anonymoushonesty2688 says : "There were no known survivors. 85 people are still missing.">> <<@collegegoer45 says : Trying to do anything competently while Italian IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE>> <<@minimoris748 says : You're starting to look like Jack Black with this beard>> <<@AminulIslam-st8tv says : Hey! Why u getting old?! You're the science guy>> <<@Mastoblood says : I remember watching this long form video but did not realize that was already almost a year ago dayum time goes faster when you get older>> <<@KO-pk7df says : Unfortunately technicians who do those thing are in every industry and they get rewarded by management for getting things done "fast" whilr the ones who take the time to do the job properly get called "slow". Yes every industry even the ones called "life critical" !!>> <<@TheRandooo says : Side note, love the beard man>> <<@wbforsure2104 says : It was all downhill from there I guess>> <<@daph7017 says : I always fix things with plastic straps>> <<@galacticgore5163 says : It did not escalate it de escalated>> <<@michaelbujaki2462 says : I wonder why something like this isn't on a helical drive; they can't be backdriven.>> <<@guilhermegoesbarreto2538 says : Why didn't they use worm gears?>> <<@michaelwinter742 says : Derek has aged thirty years in the last ten years.>> <<@masetade says : Way to tell half the story.. Now i have to google it. 😂😅>> <<@yahooooooooooooooooooooooo says : That escalated quickly>> <<@jonahsatheesh5346 says : So they basically went weeeeeeeee>> <<@keaton718 says : They should make the tipping point on the motor one more person than there are number of stairs on the escalator so it never tips.>> <<@zizbird says : Capitalism>>
