What left of a steam turbine after they connected the generator to the grid without ensuring that it was in synchronism with it.
As a result the generator tried to turn 180 degrees instantaneously. They found a piece of the shaft in the next room.

Oh my routine is to lock at the instruction manual from 2 to 5 sec and then just trow it away. No wonder my sofa looks like a garbage box

Dozen of instruction manuals for this kind of turbine... Necessary but insufficient !

On facilities this size they don't rely on operators manuals, they send the operators to school.

Looks like these guys went for the "wing it and see what happens" approach. They don't teach you that one in school! :lol:
