    Default White Shirt Almost Got Cooked

    It's a hot rolling mill. It's molten steel forged in to piping/rails. The super hot beams (not quite molten) are passed through multiple "rolls" at high speed to reduce their thickness.

    It looked like the hot beam was tracking the boss man at first. The guys on the mill floor won't have to worry to much about him from now on cause he probably won't ever come out of his office again. Can't blame him!

    I think they need an e stop or two on that line. They were both yelling at the guy at the other end to turn it off.

    It was intentional. The guy in the white shirt had just called the operator's wife a whore

    Is it common for those machines to ejaculate steel prematurely like that?

    Been there, done that. Got the scars to prove it. A cobble in a steel mill ain't no joke. The oldtimers taught us to run toward it if you're close. We ran stainless so we cut it with an oxygen lance.
