This time it blew the drawworks to pieces and sent the clutch up through the rig floor. Sounded like a bomb went off from the directional trailor down here and the ground shook like crazy while they were falling

[Mark44]

Did they crown out or a pully in the block cut the line?

[Landrover]

[Peacock]

[brrdnk]

Wow that could have been ugly. Glad no one was hurt. Stay safe

Glad nobody got hurt - flesh and bone won't slow falling iron too much. Back in the late 70's I was working as a floor hand, and a guy on my rig working graveyard (I was on morning tour) got squashed by the blocks and lost both his legs. One of the countless ways you can lose body parts - or your life - in that line of work.
