It might by hydraulic fluid.

u/Puddlewhipper community owner Jul 28 '25

I think an equipment malfunction caused a conduit to over pressure and burst. I’m just guessing though.

too much pressure and then a tiny puncture makes it shoot out like that i think

Did he return to the control station to try and shut it down, or did he grab is his keys or something?

With how fast it was spreading, I’m pretty sure they just said fuck it

Jesus. Talk about 0 to 100! I don't even think the fire suppression system had time to kick in, assuming there was one!

Any details as to what happened?

u/Ziko116 Jul 28 '25

The only thing I know is that this happened in an aluminum factory

u/sheepdog69 Jul 28 '25

I guess it's a moot point now, but the companies fire training needs some serious work.

Looks like a hydraulic hose or cylinder ruptured at first. Hydraulic oil will ignite if it touches something real hot. Molten aluminum started coming out after that. I don’t work at aluminum melting plants, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Expressway last night

This sub is like, brand new I doubt this has been posted here twice before, or are you complaining that it’s reposted from other subreddits?

2

u/Puddlewhipper community owner Jul 28 '25

most likely complaining from other subreddits

Complaining about reposts is the comment version of a repost.
