I didn't know about pre-airplane disaster. I visited Cavalese 10 years ago, great skiing. BTW: We pronounce italian "gi" like Jeep, "gh" like "gimball", "ge" like "Germany" and so on.

>rebuilt but had another disaster
Lmafo really you kill 40 people fuck up god knows how many over the years. Don't train people over stuff them due to time. Let it happen all over again. Not my problem said managment/owners blame the worker we did not train at all. Also tell them to start shit when it fails at double speed. What could go wrong. The lawsuits are less than profit so its all good. If only the legal system worked and the death sentance was given when needed.

I hate cable cars. No one can convince me they are safe

I just bought the RBMK tshirt to match my tattoos!!!! I'm so excited 😅

I am so looking forward to the second episode of this one. Nothing is better than a marine growler snapping a clabe car off the line

Really don't think the untrained operator should've gotten so harsh charges. Yeah he was doing his job poorly but if the margin of error was so low that a few kids could tip it over it was just a matter of time.

When will you have the Ohio Train Derailment video?

Another story of those actually responsible getting off, while the guy just doing his shit job the way he was told to do it ends up with jail time for doing his seasonal work.

Normalising deviance yet again. And to give another example, I was working at a manufacturing place as a temp. It wasn't a high risk situation like this one, but one of the tasks involved using the large compactor. After I'd been there a couple of months the operations manager realised I hadn't signed the safety briefing, so I was given it to read and sign. I clearly frustrated the operations manager by reading it instead of just going to the signature page. As I signed it and handed it back I pointed out a spelling error in the document and also that it said temps were explicitly not allowed to operate the compactor. It was nearly ALWAYS temps that operated the compactor. "Oh, does it? Where?", she said. I pointed it out. "Oh….thanks", she said, not very convincingly. Temps are still operating the compactor, with a busted point of suspension on the wheely bin and where it is held up by a strap on one side. No-one has been injured yet fortunately.

The few seconds falling. Hopefully joy and happiness were still with the children before their lives ended.

What I like about this channel is that you look into the causes behind the obvious ones.

Companies would love to be able to throw staff under the bus for their cost cutting and negligence

Poor operator serving 9 months in jail, it wasn't that guys fault.

Dark and cold day, innit?

Sadly we don't learn from past mistakes.
In 2021 a cable car at Mottarone crashed, killing 14 people.
As always it was caused by negligence, false test reports…

Very good job with the italian worlds

Make a video about Cernis cable way, where an USA fighter jet doing unauthorized manovers hit the cables cutting them.

Take some cues from Dark Docs. You sound like you are making jokes. You don’t sound serious. Your voice Sounds silly

Dalton Ranson

Hey plainly difficult! I loved your video about the pipeline in Bellingham, Wa that’s my home town I remember seeing the aftermath as a kid. I would love to see a video about Palestine Ohio once it is very clear what happened and what they covered/ tried to cover up! Have a good one, cheers

I don't blame Carlo in the slightest. Three people over the limit (according to Wikipedia) but 15 youth between the ages of 7 and 15 sounds like they should have been under the weight limit for that ride. If these kids were our current crop of American kids I might have agreed but most Europeans are thinner than Americans today and especially back then.

Whoever programmed that thing to eek out an extra minute should have received twenty years. Not only does it not affect the overall ride time by much, it was causing frequent stoppages that created further delays. Maybe the designer of that program was an Italian aircraft designer about thirty years prior. It would explain a lot.

This Channel is amazing

Honestly I think the untrained operator was the least guilty party. The responsibility is on the company.

"Let's just completely disregard vital safety features and put utterly unqualified people in charge of people's lives. What could go wrong?"

Honestly, how have humans made it this far? We are so stupid.

Comment

ca-va-le-se has 4 syllables, not 3. More like "Ca-va-less-ee" than "Ca-va-leeze".

9:50 "After all of you don’t properly tell someone how to do a job they will use their judgment"

Well said!

So let me be very clear on how to do your job: When you see a place name in a different language, or simply one you have never heard before, use this handy site called "youtube" to look up "pronounce [word]", instead of using your judgement, when you know you repeatedly mispronounce things.

Love your content! Could you do a video on the 1998 cavalese disaster?

Carl Sylvester

I noticed right off that this cable system used only one load carrying cable. Most modern ones I have seen on here have two.
I wonder why.

Johannes Ritter

Even if greed doesn't cut the cable, the US Marine corps will come to help 😉
