“The hospital was charged $75,000”? Seventy five thousand dollars for criminal negligence with a defective autoclave where a human being would boil to death if they didn’t think to prop open WITH A PIECE OF WOOD? There should be hospital management in prison. For many years.
The issues with the hospital and the Bacardi plant both stem from the same thing... greed. Prioritizing production or money over the lives of people. It happens constantly. I worked at a tire factory and the disconnect from those in the upper management offices to the floor workers particularly surrounding the issue of production over safety was vomit inducing. So many big businesses cut corners and will do anything to make an extra dollar so they look good for a board meeting or quarter review. Upper management and head of corporations positions are magnets/ breeding grounds for the absolute worst of humanity. Its amazing how many companies are led by people who are actual text book definitions of a psychopath, being very self centered and having little to no boundaries or remorse for their actions. An example is to look at almost any of the largest video game companies. They have some of the worst business practices and cultures in the business world currently and it's all because of upper management not having what is considered basic human morals or standards.
@@Dire-Locke your biggest example is to look at video game companies???? really???? sure they don't have the best business practices but are they killing people? NO
@@scarlettrose842 Oh sorry! I didn't mean for it to sound that way. I just meant that video game companies are a great example of greed and turning a blind eye. They are a great example right now specifically because there is a lot of knowledge about these game companies and their greed being aired to the public. Serveral of the largest video game companies like Activision Blizzard for example are actively in court battles over things like greedy micro-transactions and sexual abuse charges as well as those sexual abuse issues within the company leading to a suicide on a company trip. I definitely wasn't trying to compare what happens in video game companies to being boiled alive in a steam room of a hospital. I just wanted to point out that many large companies have a serious issue with morality in upper management and game companies are a great current example of that breakdown on display to the public. The horrible things that happen from that breakdown is definitely going to differ from one company to another.
thats exactly what I was thinking they should've been charged more! especially since they were told by employees multiple times to replace it and they refused like wtf
That hospital should be held accountable for more than $75k. They were aware of a major safety hazard and deliberately neglected to properly fix it. Total negligence on their part. And sadly that negligence cost a life. My heart aches for her loved ones.
HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO WELD/SECURE A STOP TO THAT DOOR,ONE THAT HAD TO BE ACTIVATED ANYTIME SOMEONE ENTETRED THE AUTOCLAVE,CHRIST ALMIGHTY A BLOCK OF WOOD IS THE ONLY SAFETY PROTOCOL ON HOSPITALS MACHINERY
I can't tell what I'm more appaled by. The gross negligence or the fact the young man's life was valued at less that $500k. Bacardi should have been sued millions for his death.
The family could have sued for more than that, and OSHA SHOULD HAVE fined them WAY higher than they did. No proper training, no safety equipment, no ones following protocol... simple safety standards aren't being met that could have 100% prevented his death.
Dae’s story just broke my heart. A young man who wanted to provide for his family and went to great lengths on his very first day at work to make an appalling impression And the company went to great lengths to prioritize quotas over Dae’s safety. A piss, poor despicable impression on Bacardi’s part. 😡
He was so happy and proud about getting work and to have that happen to him literally brought me to tears. Absolutely criminal, when human life pretty much means nothing to these companies
The fact that Dae asked repeatedly if that's what they want him to do so he can get clarification and they just ignored him means they should have been fined wayyy more and thrown in jail
he could easily have said no to the unsafe work since that is the law and he cant get in trouble for refusing it, even if he were sent home he works at a god damn temp agency lmao theyll send you somewhere els this factory aint ur home dog.
@@zombiehunter675 you're kidding, right? This is one of the most clear cut cases of the victim NOT being to blame that we've seen!! Multiple overseers KNEW he was down there, and he was pressured to do it, AND he was the one with the absolute least amount of safety training and thus knowledge of the risks involved - and even then he questioned it! They should have been charged with at least manslaughter if not murder. Why TF are you going around commenting on multiple comments that he "could have said no" - the bottom line is that no one in his position, on the very first day of work, with no knowledge of the risks, desperate for income, and - importantly - unlike other similar accidents we've seen, the supposedly more experienced coworkers and supervisors KNEW THAT HE WAS STILL DOWN THERE. He did not just go down quickly thinking it was no biggie and that he'd be out so fast that it didn't matter if no one knew. THEY KNEW AND STILL STARTED THE MACHINE. Seriously, are you racist or something? Of all of the circumstances to criticize the victim for, this one should be at the bottom of your list. Smh.
The last one with Dae is one of the most clear cut cases of the victim NOT being to blame that we've seen. Multiple overseers KNEW he was down there, and he was pressured to do it, AND he was the one with the absolute least amount of safety training and thus knowledge of the risks involved - and even then he questioned it! They should have been charged with at least manslaughter if not murder. No one in his position, on the very first day of work, with no real knowledge of the risks, desperate for income, and - importantly - unlike other similar accidents we've seen - the supposedly more-experienced coworkers and supervisors KNEW THAT HE WAS STILL DOWN THERE. He did not just go down quickly thinking it was no biggie and that he'd be out so fast that it didn't matter if no one knew. THEY KNEW AND STILL STARTED THE MACHINE. I'm just in absolute shock with anger over this one.
For real, I can't wrap my head around how they were not charged with manslaughter. How did it not occur to them to wait with starting the machine until Dae came back to them? That's absolutely freaking common sense, when you send someone into a dangerous machine! 🤦♂️
If you're upset about that, you must not be aware of the first degree murder charges Ford slipped after intentionally, while being aware of the issues, still released the Pinto. It was deemed cheaper to just kill their customers and pay them out vs pulling the vehicle. Not a single charge was laid... First Degree murder! When does Murder, theft, fraud and cultural genocide become legal?
Same with the hospital, they knew they had a faulty machine with the suction still they let their workers operate it and go inside it. Maybe not murder but defenately worth more then 75k (in america) in my opinion. Although here in the Netherlands if you would get 75k you could count yourself very "lucky".@@catricelovescats
Everytime, everytime I head Dae's story, I cry. Without fail. Because he was so proud of getting his first job, and had tried so hard and his fate is so unfair. It breaks my heart
I WAS A TEMP & NOBODY ever told me about lockout/tagout procedures. I had several factory jobs where I thought it was “normal” to fix the machine while it was still running, and being a teen, I didn’t know any better .
These filthy corporations and hospitals are let off the hook so easily, meanwhile a family has to survive their lives without their loved one and the the corps and companies get to keep on keepin on like nothing ever happened. And ya know why? Capitalism. Because one of capitalism’s main MO’s; a foundational trademark of capitalism is- money over people. Always and without fail. It’s abhorrent and it makes me want to puke.
Dae did everything right in life, went to school and workerd hard on getting a job .. He chose to do things the right way and ended up dying on his first day. So heartbreaking.
@@Hannah-zw9ow right? I dropped out of college and I have more in my savings and make more money than many of my friends that graduated college in 2016. Also, who fails the math portion of the armed services while studying to be a medical assistant? No wonder he didn’t get hired. Math is huge in the medical field. I worked in healthcare for 5 years before moving on to a logistics company and I used more math in my last job in healthcare than I do now
@@Bessy21 i also think there must be more to the story than doing everything right. Who lives in a lower class household without a father and doesnt get their first job until their 20s??? That seems sus af to me and leads me to believe that he was applying only to jobs that he knew he couldnt get.
It's also infuriating! When you work around machinery that can maim or kill someone, you don't just have them watch a 15 minute video and assume they're aware of all the risks. Shouldn't have sent a newbie to clean up that glass!! Very sad.
What a waste. If they thought LO/TO was going to slow them down, can’t imagine what a death investigation did to their quota. But that’s not what they were thinking. Also, those fines need to be crippling to a company. I’m sure $300k was a drop in the bucket to them.
I've never cried after a Mr.Ballen story but Dae Davis' story was so sad and messed up. People really take advantage of those who need money and opportunities, its not fair.
There are disgusting people who would take advantage of a person who can't make ends meet. It is simply because those ones are desperate for any money they get. It is a sad thing but many people live that way having a hard time paying bills and for food
That last one hit me. To get so happy and excited for your first job and to make your family and fiancé proud only to die after 90 minutes is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard
This makes me soo sad and soo angry. A young black man's life, only worth $250,000? That's it? He still had a family, a young woman who loved him, and his future ahead of him. A company that can clearly afford 2pay out a whole lot more for the reckless disregard of this young man's life it's a damn shame. More ppl should know about how Bacardi handled this sad situation and how they basically didnt even change anything. I wonder if those disgusting employees even got fired. This is bullshit and some ppl dont like race brought into the situation but I know it does I know how these companies treat people of color and it shows when he didnt even make it out alive from his 1st day of work. #BoycottBacardi
@@mariecolette9066 I'm not sure if colour played a part in this, it could also just be like "well we don't need to pay for temp workers, so eh, fuck safety"
@@06sharhonda 75k IS AN INSULT. They need to feel that mistake way more than the price of "equipment" hell I wanna see the person in charge of that expense get jail time so unsafe to put workers in those conditions
Idk how they thought they could get away w not fixing the autoclave ffs, that’s literally the one piece of machinery that u cannot avoid using?? Like even if it were smth like an X-ray they could divert their clients elsewhere if necessary but there’s no way to get around using an autoclave unless they shut down the clinic.. the negligence & frankly recklessness is mind boggling & idk how they weren’t given an extremely harsh punishment considering their carelessness cost an employee’s life, who they seem to think is worth no more than 75k... I’ve seen injury lawsuits be awarded millions but this is what a human life is degraded to?? It’s infuriating tbh
You know the third story is so tragic and I feel so sorry for this guy. The fact that he took a picture of himself in the bathroom because he was proud made me seriously brought tears to my eyes. It is so sad and unnecessary considering the fact that he just wanted to make some money to help his family.... sorry bro... u didn't deserve what happened.
Yea for real, such a sad ending... just wanted more for his family. And to impress his wife... FIRST DAY too... poor guy, that family should have gotten WAY more money. And more criminal action should have been taken on both bacardi plant AND the temp agency... literally manslaughter at the least...
Dae’s story is always heartbreaking to hear, I can’t believe the workers were so negligent when sending someone in such a dangerous place… how careless do you have to be ?? And the fact that the company was barely charged anything for such a tragedy makes my blood boil Same goes for the hospital that didn’t want to replace the machine because of cost even though it was so dangerous
That terrible Bacardi story seems intentional- as if his bosses harbored some hate or disdain for this worker that was SO beneath them on their corporate ladder. Hence their act of unconscionable, criminal neglect,
Bacardi gets fined a few dollars for killing someone and they kick his family a few bucks and move on. Same with the hospital story. They kill someone, pay a few dollar fine and move on. Makes me sick.
I agree, makes me sick that a company can murder someone and get off virtually Scott free. What Bacardi and the hospital paid is like sofa change. Especially when poor Americans get held to ransom by healthcare insurance. Disgraceful.
Employers don’t give a damn about their employees and it makes me sick, especially when it’s the big companies and corporations that overlook the safety of their employees to continue raking in money
right?! they had so many chances to replace the door but didn't and then they literally burnt her to death. disgusting. same with the last story, they crushed that young man to death and got fined barely anything!🤬😡😤
I'm sure the 75,000 fine was from OSHA, the occupational safety and health administration, which has nothing to do with the civil suit that the family may or may not have filed.
omg yes! I was waiting for some astronomical amount of money and this lousy, completely negligent, completely detestable “hospital” gets fined 75K??? Hospitals have multi-millions. I hope that place has gone way way under.
For the last story, I can definitely back up the lack of safety in a lot of warehouses. I had several instances where a supervisor put me in a dangerous position because either they didn't care or didn't care enough to explain something properly, even when repeatedly asked to show or elaborate further what they meant.
I've had similar issues. That's why I will no longer work in them type of jobs. Seen horrible accidents, and was almost involved in 2. After the second one. I quit that line of work for good.
@@MrBallen it is bad but there are certain situations where a machine must be on to diagnose the issue. In this case, a professional tech needs to be called in. At the time I was just an operator but they made me climb all over the CNC’s while they were on, whether it was trying to find a sensor or whatever.
I was gonna say the same ... I worked many jobs through temp services and they definitely make you feel less than the "real" workers !!! 😠 Guess that's just how it goes .
Yeah I knew a woman who lost her arm in a Coca-Cola factory. They claimed it was her fault so they wouldn’t have to pay out and she couldn’t afford a lawyer
I was a temp once when I was younger. They made me lift heavy things all day knowing I was pregnant so I brought in a doctor's note saying I can't do that so they fired me. Sued and won. They thought I was dumb 🤣
Temp agency was kind of dumb to put you in a job that made you do that. I’m glad you didn’t get hurt or anything. Good on you for standing up for yourself.
The first and last story is sickening someone should had gone to jail. Any fines under a million dollars does not even put a dent on companies like bacardi or a hospital.
Agreed, human lives were lost the hospitals & companies refuse to think about the safety of their workers & they have the balls to preach about practicing safety when they don't practice what they preach. Th hospital should've been fined millions & the heads of medical should've been fired.
The problem is that those fines are hard coded in the laws and since these companies pay big bucks for lobbyists to sway the only people that can change the law to actually punish these corporations... nothing ever changes. The only thing that ever hurts these companies is when they do something that causes so much public backlash the it would be political suicide to defend them or the stocks bottom out and the company goes under. But we all know another business will just take its place, doing the same behaviors and practices.
FACTS!!!! They need to be in jail serving lengthy sentences. The sent him in there to clean and knew he was there… those machines didn’t magically turn themselves back on, they had those machines turned back on!
Yes, super infuriating. “Sorry we got your loved one killed, here’s $200,000 for you to shut up and move on with it”. A life is worth so much more than that, and a company like Bacardi should be fine $10 million minimum. Maybe then they’ll start looking out for their employees safety
I'm at work at the time of writting and legit almost cry listening to dae's story. Being the eldest son from a fatherless household, getting himself education, struggling to get a job for his family.the happiness he felt when he told his mom as if life is gonna get better for them.the future,the possibilities,just gone. I never knew him,and never will but u did good brother.RIP dae
He did everything right and this was his reward. Life sucks sometimes and hopefully the people who ultimately sent him to his death felt the ramifications of their negligence. Absolutely heart breaking. May his family find peace and healing.
@@berube361dude, the idea was that it doesn't matter how much you get paid if you die. The idea is to make that workspace safe for anyone regardless of their salary, Mr logician in chief
Out of all the Mr.Ballen stories I've seen, Dae's breaks my heart the worst. His life was priceless but Bacardi definitely owed that family MILLIONS at least.
Yea but if your a poor family you dont have means to sue and all the probonos going to white people...its the paperwork u sign that keeps them from paying big
That poor kiddo! Doing anything and everything he could to help out his mother and younger siblings. Im sure feeling very high on life and so proud of himself when walking threw those Bacardi doors that very first day. ONLY to in just a short time, realize that he's just a second class citizen to that company and his safety (temp employees safety) is second to all others. Such a sad story. Not that what I think matters. But Im super proud of him and all he was attempting to achieve. It's extremely obvious that he had the potential to do ABSOLUTELY AMAZING things with his life! Sending prayer of comfort to his family.
Unfortunately it's a lesson you learn one way or another, sooner or later. As a new worker you should not blindly trust supervisors. They WILL get you killed or hurt in their own arrogance. If you don't feel comfortable doing something, don't do it. Rip Dae, condolences
I guarantee they did not even pay the 75,000. They always settle for a higher amount with corporations and then OSHA and the like let them off when the dust settles and the public has stopped looking. every time. But my god if you have a small bottle of soap unlabeled and you are a small business- they'll put you under.
I really feel bad for the last guy. He seemed so proud to be able to provide for his family and his life was cut short. Seemed like a genuinely good guy. :(
Heartbreaking isn’t it?? It really got me upset, I never get affected by stuff like this too. I’m not some deluded political zealot, I don’t think racism is as bad as everyone says it is... but something about the fact that he was a low income African american guy REALLY rubs me the wrong way. I feel like (based on context from the video) these fractory workers were so OVERLY careless, brash, and down right STUPID about how they On-boarded this guy, and how they treated him when entering a potentially dangerous industrial scenario like that. What the fuck is wrong with people? Screw the “temps are second class citizens” thing, this poor guy was treated like GARBAGE! edit: my eyes welled up reading that back again. Like seriously, I cannot believe this actually happened and the company wasn’t held to a higher level of accountability. That’s as fucked up as it gets, man.
@@OfficialDJLaxative I feel sick after that story! Usually doesn’t get to me but his determination and excitement combined with the negligence makes me so upset.
Companies should be fined much more for accidents resulting from not following safety procedures. Cause unfortunately some managers see it more profitable to take these risks as the odd fine is less than the extra profit.
@@OfficialDJLaxative I know what you mean. Like the odds were already stacked against him and he managed to catch a break. Only for so long. At least he died with a good heart and was proud of himself. He almost made it.
I worked as a temp about 3 years ago. They sent me to this dirty shop with OSHA violation written all over it. I ended up falling and getting a concussion. I left only about a month after that happened, but almost a year later I found out that the fall I had caused more problems than I originally thought. The retina had detached in my left eye, and tore the macular hole. Well 4 surgeries and $50,000 later I’m left mostly blind in my left eye.
That last one just infuriates me. That man just wanted a job to help care for his siblings and mother. Those people sent him into a dangerous place and crushed him. It sounds like they didn't even get jail time for accidental man slaughter or anything. Horrible.
Why would they get jail time?? WTF is wrong with you? It was an honest workplace accident, not manslaughter. The company can get fined for negligence, but those workers aren't going to jail. And rightfully so.
Where i live government has just brought in new laws where employers can do jail time for negligence. Also the company you go to work at is responsible for injury costs and such so they have more interest in proper training and such instead of thinking of temp workers as expendable.
Working in a factory, it's always what happens : safety does not go first, productivity does. Combine that with people who do not care enough wether by nature or because they are not paid enough, and you get a ton of accidents. I've seen and experienced many of them, people in my factory getting sent to hospital for some serious injuries, and heard about one death, all in only 3 years and safety is still lacking. Just today got a small machine explode on me that clearly had problems but no one did anything to fix it, thankfully it was a small one and it didn't burst into flame, but I've seen gas exits that could have sent the whole building blowing up and people getting seriously injured on fingers and arms multiple times, to the point where it's unrecognizable. And I'm willing to be this happens in many factories throughout the world, factories just need to be safe on visits and anything goes the rest of the year. It does not seem that dangerous when you work there everyday, but one mistake for one minute and consequences can be disastrous. I see people judging harshly employees for not taking this or that in consideration, not doing this or that, but you have to remember most of them don't want to be here, many work for hours and days with little in between to breath and are subsequently exhausted to the point where mistakes can easily happen, and when machines are new or on the contrary are very old to the point you know them by heart, combined with all that was previously said, mistakes happen very easily if you're not careful, and a surprising amount of people working there tend to forget about it.
@@Carpatouille Which is why UNIONS are so important! I've shut down machines for safety/quality issues many times. Sometimes, I was yelled at. (oh well) Because we had a strong union, they couldn't even write me up. We need collective contracts so workers are not afraid to do the right thing!
@@tomorrowhowever7488 It's a good thing until it gets corrupted aswell... The only thing we can do is judge risks the best we can, and not hesitate to refuse things if they get too dangerous for safety, basically we can only really fend for ourselves alone, it's the truth in both the factory and in life...
@@Carpatouille at 14:56, it's hard to see cuz the pic gets dark in back, if that broom had a really long handle, if you were back there in the dark, why climb under that machine? They should have some kinda Roomba to clean that up, a long handled broom, squeegee or rake or something, not a human!
I worked for a temp agency, and I can tell anyone who asks, the temp company really does not care if you have an issue with the place they send you to work, in their minds if you have a complaint the first thing they they think of is (NEXT !) . You lose your job and someone else will take your place fast. I worked in a bottling plant for weeks, basic training which lasted only 5 or 10 minutes, no safety film or instructions. After a few days They had me train other new hires to do my job.I did this for a few weeks then I asked can I be hired permanently since the 3 or 4 new hires that I had trained were doing good( I was also) and the new hire were full time employees with benefits. I sure could use the benefits as I had a family, but they told me to work for a few more months and then they would think about it. A few weeks latter I saw a worker get burned by melted glue that they use to glue boxes into cases of soft drinks. The hot glue is suppose to come out of a tiny nozzle under some pressure onto sections of the cardboard then its folded into a box shape, but the hose connection to the glue spray nozzle broke in half and hot glue shot out all over this worker face, neck, and hand. I saw him a few months latter and his face looked like it had been branded with stripes.

Yeah I can’t believe they lowered the fine after the fact! If I get fined speeding can I tell the cop “I will slow down now” so then he can make the fine cheaper? That whole negligence issue and fine smells of corruption to me! The safety commission probably got free palettes of bacardi to go easy on them!
@@harmfulmelody5958 Regardless of if it would put them out of business or not it costed a human life. How would you feel if you had a son who on his FIRST DAY was killed by negligence of a companies worker? Would you care if the company went out of business?

I mean he did everything, right. and they were lucky to have someone so well-intentioned and that fine, for that corporation, is almost worse than nothing. Bet they laughed their ass off and toasted to being invincible.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha it was a mistake. A miscommunication. Had nothing to do with productivity being more of a priority than safety. Even when everyone is well trained and doing their best, mistakes happen. It's unfortunate, but unpredictable.
@@sharonsnyder8057 as I recall from hearing about this event a long while back, the problem was that he went down to clean and a different employee came to take over, but the new employee was not informed that someone was down there. That is literally a mistake. A miscommunication. Exactly what I already said. Mistakes happen. I am a nurse and one of the time periods where the most mistakes happen in hospitals is during change of shift. You have new staff taking over and things can get missed during report. Of course there are safeguards in place to prevent that from happening, but mistakes will still happen, no matter how well trained someone is. It's not like the other employees conspired together to kill someone. They likely felt terrible about being a part of a deadly mistake. It's bad enough to have that on your conscience without assholes on the internet calling you a murderer for a mistake. People aren't perfect. Accidents are going to happen, no matter how much training and safety protocols are in place. In fact, it is accidents that help to get many of the safely protocols in place to begin with. You have to identify a problem before you can know there is one to fix.
I’m a teacher in Jacksonville, FL. I work in a very poor community. I work with the kids who end up in situations like Dae. They deserve so much better. Whatever race or background. Every child deserves equity, and a real chance in life. I can’t watch the news because I’m just constantly confronted with what my students will face when they leave me.
I both attended (briefly, thankfully) and worked in inner city schools and my heart always hurts for them. They were good kids with all of the cards stacked against them. I went into the social sciences though so I can study the problems and prescribe solutions, as well as law to see them out. The sad part is, most people don't even know or care. Even most of the teachers in the schools stop giving it their all because they get so worn down. I am so glad to read your comment and know that there ARE other people who are caring for these kids in their community. I commend you. I know it isn't always easy, no matter how much you care. It's hard to watch the dysfunction and feel helpless. It's why I left.
Yeah not even negligence. That was just manslaughter. Although it’s impossible to tell what happened in someone’s mind. With something like drunk driving resulting in man slaughter it’s objective because the driver consciously was sober, decided to drink, and at some point chose to drive whether before or after drinking. They made that decision of their own free will. No matter what. With this, maybe the foreman just blanked that he was there. Definitely agree with you but it could never be because we can’t prove it was manslaughter. It was negligence at least. Definitions are super important

@@jonasnilsson6386 it is clearly negligent homicide in my understanding of the events and the law. They intentionally did not use proper safety procedure and through negligence caused Day's death. Textbook example.
He was so exited, he send a pic to his fiancée with his work outfit and everything. She was expecting him to come back home to congratulate him and then... 😭
That’s so heartbreaking, He was just trying to support his family. And the factory only paid his family A measly 250 grand which is like A slap in the face. We are big and rich and you are below us. I hope those guys see this young mans face every time they close their eyes.
That last story brought tears to my eyes. Such a horrible end for a young man eager to help his family. I know no amount of money could bring him back but what his family received for a settlement was an insult.
The supervisor and the other worker clearly lacked any intelligence or common sense. The fact Day's mom settled for $250k shows that she either got bullied or her lawyer was shit.
Makes me sick. De was doing everything right and they treated him like he was expendable. And they treated his mom like he was expendable. They should have been charged with criminally negligent homicide. But insurance makes it easy for these corporations to get away with anything. RIP De.
@@Schnitz13 they didn't bully her. It was the temp agency that got screwed over and paid it. As the temp agency takes 100% fault. Even though it was clearly the factories fault
I agree, 250,000 is a slap in the face. Millions should have come into play as far as I'm concerned. Safety should always be the top priority for any industrial production plant. Nothing is more important than making sure the lives of the workers are the #1 priority..... making sure that the people working for you, the people making you money, get home to their loved ones at the end of the day, not only alive but with all their fingers and toes. When a complete failure happens like this and someone is killed the cost to that company should be astronomical. This will incentivise the plants to make sure safety is built in to the mindset of all their employees. These things will only stop happening when these businesses have a safety first mentality. I hate to say it but 250,000 to bacardi is like me or you spending a 20 dollar bill at the gas station. It's a ridiculous settlement
The last story is heartbreaking. I’ve worked in enough places that value productivity over safety and I’d honestly rather lose my job than risk my life in any way for a company that probably doesn’t even know your name. It’s sad that Day didn’t have that kind of knowledge or experience to protect himself. He was so excited too, ugh so sad.
@@shadowbasterds2389 oh Jesus…🙄 someone has to make this about race. Of course u do. Lol. Ok…I’ll take the bait bc this is what u want to hear I guess. Yes, ur absolutely right….if it were a white male, they wud have surely completed the safety protocol bc white lives like myself are WAY WAY WAY more important and need to be protected and cherished.…..bc we’re white. Lol! 🤦♂️😂 Is that what u want to hear? What an imbecile. Not everything is racist or about race. Ppl today love to feel sorry for themselves. Lastly, did u not listen to the video? They WERE fined over $100K and paid $250K to his family. But I’m sure it wud have been like 3 million for a white life, right?
@@shadowbasterds2389 Fabian the white savior coming in hot, don't think it's a good time to play woke right after you watch a story of a white woman dying to similar negligence and receiving far less justice.
That last story about Dae made me feel physically sick. I’ve heard the story before but in a much more clinical fashion. The way you tell the story not only humanises Dae but also built such a connection with him and his family, I will never again be able to see this story as a simple “lock-out/tag-out” cautionary tale. Thank you for doing justice to his life and family in your retelling.
The second story is the reason why people should be careful about trusting local guides with your safety. Not the first story I've seen on this channel where a guide took people someplace they shouldn't.
I’m from the big island everyone knows what you can do and what you can’t . I’ve swam at boiling pots growing up there was no signs but the area was fenced off and there was ropes for the side . I. Only know 1 person who drowned there.
Dae shouldn’t have been sent down there, they should have sent a more experienced worker, they would have known what to expect and protocols to follow; management clearly ignored Dae’s obvious concerns. They murdered him. Justice was not served.
The fact they blatantly ignored the lock out/tag out procedures is what caused the issue. In good factories cleaning and maintenance are only done if the machine is rendered safe. As soon they told Dae to clean it without doing that I knew what would happen. They deserved far more fines and a larger payout. The operator and manager should have been charged with negligence.
how you gonna expect a 2000 pound crate lower on you if the guys didnt care enough to check, its not like procedure to tuck and roll lol they turn it on ur fucked thats it no matter how trained u are especially when even the trained people dont lock out the stuff same thing would have eventually happened to the trained guy as well sadly. people are just lazy and dumb nowadays if its not safe say fuck u and tell them to do it it law to refuse unsafe work plus u work at a temp agency lmao not this shit factory say u want to be placed somewhere els.
It seems they took advantage of his lack of job experience and though that showing him a quick 15 minute video was all he needed to jump head first into a job he didn't completely realize what was expected of him, so sad and he was obviously excited to finally have a job. RIP
The fact that he had gone to a military high school, then Job Corp just to try to better himself and actively sought a job to help support his family make it even worse :/ Like, the world really fucking sucks when you can try your hardest to achieve your dreams then have them literally crushed because of some careless asshole 😞
The final story about Day is just so heartbreaking. He was so proud to have his first job. Bless his heart he never gave up trying to do right by himself & his family. Such a tragedy. May he rest in peace ❤
Definitely! I have no doubt that Day would've been successful in life, due to his positive, hard-working mentality. His family and friends must be proud to have known him. R.I.P. Brother...
SO sad! I was listening and all I could keep saying is, poor baby! He just wanted to be productive and be a provider and these careless, selfish people just didnt gaf about anyone or thing except production smh
O. M. G. Listen people! The HOSPITAL was FINED $75,000! No mention was made of what/if the family sued! They probably did & signed a do not disclose agreement. Which unfortunately usually means the defendant doesn’t ever need to publicly admit to any wrongdoing. 😢
well no. the hospital receiving and paying the fine is in itself proof of wrongdoing. and publically admitting to wrongdoing is sort of irrelevant as long as they did so with the victims. maybe im missing something but i cant imagine them posting an apology on twitter doing much more for the situation. regardless, i hope their private settlement was so large they never forget what their negligence caused...
That last story really hit me hard and the fact it was his first job and he was so excited about it, he wasn't trained for it and shouldn't have been sent to do that job. 250k was nowhere near enough of a payout for his family!
Exactly #BoycottBacardi They treated him like he was a broken piece of glass. A young black man with his future ahead of him, he was loved, he was trying and nobody cared enough 2teach him the danger he was in. 250k is a disgrace!
I agree with you, but $250K is a lot better than $75K for the girl in the first story, who went through at least 10X more excruciating pain with a much longer duration of pain as well.
The last story is gutting, the guy was just trying to do a good job and he lost his life all down to a company trying to save a couple of bucks. It makes me mad that the fines and money to his family were so pathetically low.
Poor Dae...he was really still just a kid! His 1st day of his very 1st job, ever...smh...my heart is so broken. I was wondering, right from the start, what kind of training you can get for any job in just 15mins!?! Ridiculous. Also, WHY WOULD YOU NOT LOOK BEFORE YOU TURNED THE MACHINE BACK ON!?! Clear case of negligence. Among other things. These other "men" who were there should be held liable too! Poor kid....
$75k for a hospital being negligent. Gah damn crooks all of the administration are. These board members don't deserve more than like $100k a year and the doctors and nurses deserve more like $500k easily
@@jamie-leighgibson2338 A shitty doctor doesn't mean the entire field is garbage. Also, pay doctors $100k / year and that's the quality you get. I lost my grandma to malpractice, so don't start.
Malpractice doesn't always equal death in this instance it equalled my mum's husband becoming wheelchair bound and when he does stand up to do small things like go to the toilet he falls and has fell multiple times resulting in more hospital visits
Bacardi killed her son and they only gave her a couple hundred thousand? That’s embarrassing. No amount of money can make up for the loss of a child, but they could have at least taken care of that family. The mom couldn’t even work if I heard correctly.
I'd sacrifice my second son for like, free booze for life. I mean the kid's gonna die anyways. I'm joking. Yes this is a horrible story. Reminds me of those jerks at the bread factory who wouldn't shut down the ovens for repair.
$250,000 for a human life that died because Bacardi's negligence and arrogance is inexcusable. I know you cannot put a value on Day's life, but that is an insult!
Yeah, the profits over people mindset is fucked and we're going to end up having more and more horrible things like this happen as long as corporations are prioritized over human beings. The Triangle shirtwaist factory fire is another prime example of what happens when companies are given free reign to treat employees like they're disposable as long as the company is making money. That happened in the early 1900's and we haven't learned.
The aftermath of the autoclave and Bacardi incidents on Tracy and Day left me incredibly pissed off. Not just that they pretty much gave out the implication that both the deceased's lives value only a sum of thousands of dollars, the people that should've been held accountable get to continue working there, in fact the companies were even pardoned all because they promised to improve their safety protocols only after they've taken the lives of two employees as if those tragedies were as mundane as accidentally running a forklift car towards a stockpile of fragile items.
Yeah this is so sad. 250k is f all compared to what other people and families get for less. This case is used in safety training videos now, so much sadder knowing the story behind it all
Ikr, also the 110 thousand dollar fine? That's nothing compared to the Billions Bacardi's worth. Bacardi pretty much got off the hook with this. I will never drink their spirits again.
They knew the payout could be so low bc they were already suffering from poverty and probably couldn’t afford a good / proper lawyer to take it to trial and the company probably knew that since they were already poverty stricken that anything is a lot so that’s most likely why they only gave the poor mans family 250k because to them that might as well be 250 million but you’re right it’s a big ass slap in the face. May god bless that man soul
My fiancé also works for temp agency. And we watched this one together, and I was saying how upset I would be if he ever got seriously injured or worse at one of his jobs they send him on and he responded with “that wouldn’t happen, I’ve watched enough mr.ballen videos to know when somethings dangerous” hahaha thank god for mr.ballen!
Poor Dae. All he wanted is a good job to support his family and his dream of being part of the military. It's crazy how money makes people inconsiderate of others. Productivity over safety has become the mantra of greedy companies. It's sad that until now, lots of people suffer from maltreatment of greedy employers.
That’s so tragic, that poor young guy was just trying to make an honest living for him and his family. To be excited and finally getting work and feeling good about himself, he literally gets crushed. As someone that has worked in manufacturing and had basically every member of my family work in manufacturing facilities, it’s so disheartening to hear about this kind of thing. Lock out/tag out is so so important and I truly feel for this man and his family
#BoycottBacardi They could afford 2have given his family way more than $250k He had his whole life ahead of him but since hes a person of color nobody treated him better than a broken piece of glass. This is Bullshit
@@mariecolette9066 don't bring colour into this, it could just have been that he's a temp worker and they don't care about them cuz they're not part of the team officially, still horrible, but not racist
They should of paid his family heck of a lot more. His life is invaluable and the fact that he lost his life through a small miscommunication is despicable.
I totally agree with you. I never thought of that before but I'm sure younger people will now think twice or speak up if they feel uncomfortable about doing something.
Dae's story is why lock out tag out is so important for factory workers, and if you work in a factory remember you always have stop work authority ( the ability to stop work if you feel like you or your life could be in danger) and cannot be fired for using it.
For real! The amount of people who are unaware that they’re obligated to refuse unsafe work and legally cannot be punished for refusing is so depressing. No job is worth more than your health and especially not more than your life
Technically and Legally can't be fired for it. Still happens all the time, if management wants you gone ( and after pulling the whistle they definitely do ) then they'll find a way to do it and make authorities look the other way. Disgusting but true ( at least in the States, can't speak to the rest of the world )
@@MrGoesBoom Yeah if anyone even tries to take a large company to court for it the company has way more money behind them and they can use that to push their weight and hire the best lawyers out there. There's nothing stopping them from screwing someone over even farther in court if you try to sue them for it.
I worked at this factory up north. They were definitely more serious about safety. My maintenance manager told my team about one guy he had to cut out of an industrial mixer. The way he described it was “like cutting a person out of a tuna can.” The guy had already died by the time he got there. Lockout/tag out is so important and will save your life. Dae’s family was done all kinds of dirty.
How they got away with the autoclave situation for that long, boggles my mind. How did a health inspector not find that?? And $75,000 is an absolute insult. Wow. How tragic.
I've worked in a hospital before. The only way to get any problem that could result in injury or death fixed, is to threaten to go public with the info that they are ignoring safety concerns.
@@inkblotthecolt Why threaten? Get video and expose it to a reporter... If they don't listen once, they won't listen UNTIL it costs them mightily... SO cost them. Just remember to cover your own ass when you do so. Threats are "pie crust promises". I don't stoop to blackmail to try to get my way. The boss learns QUICK, I MEAN it when I bring up a valid concern. ;o)
To be honest I'm not surprised about this there's always that story of company arrogance over a faulty thing but after all the complaints from the staff all that's required for them to actually listen is the death of a worker
They probably kept this very quiet, too. For me, this is a local hospital, and I've been a nurse for 13 years, and it's the first time I've ever even heard of the incident. I'm super surprised about how low the fine was, too. I've worked for facilities who were fined more for using eating and drinking supplies (cups, etc) made from Styrofoam instead of plastic. $75k for something that resulted in death is just...wow.
Last story is insane. Poor guy was just trying to do the right thing his whole life..... and dies such a disturbing death 😳 can't begin to imagine how his fiance, mother & family must have felt. He looked so proud in his selfie :(
I live in Hawaii, and these types of tunnels are pretty common on the big island mentioned in the Second Story. They're created by the lava that flows from the volcanoes that eventually stops running, and the lava finishes flowing through them, leaving empty Caverns before the lava tumbles into the ocean and creating hard rock that expands the land. If you ever end up in any of these tunnels it's pretty widely known that no one's going to come and get you.
Day's pride and excitement and pre-work activities of getting new clothes, etc., is truly heart breaking given the outcome. $250,000 isn't nearly enough. RIP Day.
My dad had an experience similar to Dae’s. When he was 23 he was working in a textile factory and because shutdown/lockdown wasn’t done, while he was cleaning the conveyer belt his hand got pulled into the press. He managed to free his hand but one of his fingers was ripped off. My heart goes out to Dae’s family.
I used to work in a factory at 25 years old and my hand got pulled between rollers and a drive belt. I couldn't reach the emergency shut off switch and luckily another guy on the machine shut the machine off. It was a terrifying experience and I pray that Dae's family is doing well. I pray for that young man and for those 2 co-workers that were supposed to be looking out for him.
Honestly I thought she’d have died from that. Autoclaves can have super heated steam ( depending on the application) but maybe it was older or something. I talked to a dentist about his when it was broken , so I learned a lil bit from him
@@peterf.229 We use them at my job. The steam we use is around 130 degrees Celsius. I'm shocked she survived, but never in a million years would I think about going into one of those alone, let alone it being broken. They have many warnings on ours that say DO NOT ENTER. Just crazy to think about this one..
@@athradian4752 when I heard lab equipment acting up, I thought it would be a steam explosion from the maintenance area behind the autoclave. I’ve seen the aftermath of a failure in the steam pipes that fed an old autoclave
@@Dino14345 Oh jeez, yeah I can imagine! Luckily we have not had that issue. Our autoclaves are definitely getting to their older age so I'm hoping nothing like that happens. But it's also in a fairly secured room and we don't normally stay in there when we run something
3rd story. My dad died from a somewhat similar accident. Wasn't even supposed to work that day. Something was wrong with a machine and they asked him to come in to help fix it. So he does, and gets into this huge machine. Little did he know, no one put the emergency brake on. 2 thousands pounds crushed him instantly. I was 7. Miss him every single day.
My name is Jerry . I work at regions hospital from 2003 to 08 in transport. I was in the hallway when that women got burnt that morning. We had to bring a crash cart into the room. When she came out as they were rushing her to the ER. I prayed for her. When I learned what happened in why they didn’t protect her safety. That was one of the worst days. 🙏🏽
Jerkcery Strickland . I'm so sorry for the terrible loss of that lady, God rest her soul, it would have been awful for her family too, knowing how she died. Really sad that you and the staff had to see and deal with that. God bless all of you, thankyou for praying for her. Love from Australia. Xx😳😳
Wow I can’t believe why I’ve never heard of this story before (I’m from Saint Paul MN) I use to be in the hospital a lot and Regions is where I would always go. Can’t believe they let something like this happen 😥
That last story is horrifying and I feel sick to my stomach knowing what happened to him and his family didn't even get paid that much money for his death.
I felt the same way. Sick to my stomach. That story was utterly heartbreaking. And extremely sad. How can you put a price tag on someone’s LIFE?!?! My God.
i’ve been watching through this channel a lot recently and nothing has really phased me, but as soon as i saw dae’s selfie and heard how excited he was to be working there i felt an immediate sentimental connection to him and didn’t want to hear he died. i almost had to set my phone down because he just looked so sweet. he did not deserve that at all
I've worked temp agencies before and it's a toss up what job you get...out of all the jobs I was sent to whether in an office or a factory setting...the common factor is the negligence and rush put into the process of getting you where they need you and back to their business. Consideration should be taken when working with any machinery. It's infuriating that this system is set up in such a way that this man lost his life and his family had to endure the loss plus the battle of loopholes in court.
Literally. What's even more baffling is how tf did they not realize he was still down there and you JUST told him to go clean the damn bottles? Truly criminally negligent.
Seriously, usually any warehouse or factory work through temp agency, is usually because that place can't keep employees, and there's a reason for that.... So they link with the temp agency. People between jobs who need work immediately are usually the ones who get stuck in these places.
I didn't know that about temp agencies until my big brother got hurt at a plant and wound up with brain damage, he did get a lawyer and some money, but he actually died before everything was complete. That made me so mad at the world when that happened. He was a father figure to me, he raised me and taught me so much, and now he is gone cause of an accident that happened when he was working for $10 an hour.
I WAS A TEMP & NOBODY ever told me about lockout/tagout procedures. I had several factory jobs where I thought it was “normal” to fix the machine while it was still running, and being a teen, I didn’t know any better .
Fun fact: here in Italy we used to have a type of college specialized in teaching jobs, not only they had courses on safety regarding your chosen study course, but made you take temp jobs while making your boss to file reports about both the work and safety procedures taught each day, it was all financed by the ministry of education, but then education minister changed, laws were revised and even started a propaganda to shut down these schools, this happened almost 20 years ago, fast forward to today, we have more people unemployed and more accidents
Right?! A walk-in autoclave would cost way more than 75K too. That’s the worst part. They saved money with her death...I hope they were also forced to replace it but that’s not enough punishment.
Born and raised in Jacksonville Florida, my uncle was working at Bacardi when that happened. That poor family. They should have shut that place down forever for their negligence.. It was horrible.
I was shocked by how little bacardi was fined and how little Day's family received. Not only did they not value his life and safety, but couldn't care less about his family. I suspect those responsible still have their jobs.
that last one broke me. that poor young man had his entire life ahead of him, only to have it taken away because of lazy, greedy people who don't care for anyone. not enough money in the world can be paid for someone's life.
That third story was devastating. Of course the fact that he was black played a role in his difficulties finding work as well. What a tragedy. Our country fails people like him all the time. I also felt horrified at the number amounts Bacardi had to pay, I was expecting millions (same with the hospital… WTF!)
Same. It bothers me severely how little is put into safety and procedure. Even with things like apartment elevators or motor vehicle operators, people are constantly breaking safety rules, regulations etc, and nothing is done and none of these people care until life is lost and they have to pay a small fine. 😔
I doubt him not being able to find work very easily had anything to do with his skin color. I do think Bacardi should have been sued for millions and those supervisors should be in prison.
Thanks to affirmative action it's actually easier to get hired now if you are black. Same with getting into college and many other things. You don't even have to work as hard or be as qualified. It's harder if you're white or Asian.
After giving birth to my son I had to find work ASAP so I went to a temp agency. The sent me to a factory that packages beauty products. On my first day they didnt even explain anything to me. Just gave me gloves and a hairnet and told me to stand in this line and do what everyone else is doing. They kept switching me around through out the day to other stations and would get annoyed if I wasn't working the line fast enough!. The machines we were working around moved so fast and all I could think is how fast I can get hurt because they didnt train me or anything!!. After that day I didnt go back!! And a few months later I got a letter and a check in the mail due to them being sued.

“The hospital was charged $75,000”? Seventy five thousand dollars for criminal negligence with a defective autoclave where a human being would boil to death if they didn’t think to prop open WITH A PIECE OF WOOD?
There should be hospital management in prison. For many years.
Oh man, if you only knew the true horrors that happen behind the scenes in hospitals. Much, much worse than this story.
The issues with the hospital and the Bacardi plant both stem from the same thing... greed. Prioritizing production or money over the lives of people. It happens constantly. I worked at a tire factory and the disconnect from those in the upper management offices to the floor workers particularly surrounding the issue of production over safety was vomit inducing. So many big businesses cut corners and will do anything to make an extra dollar so they look good for a board meeting or quarter review. Upper management and head of corporations positions are magnets/ breeding grounds for the absolute worst of humanity. Its amazing how many companies are led by people who are actual text book definitions of a psychopath, being very self centered and having little to no boundaries or remorse for their actions. An example is to look at almost any of the largest video game companies. They have some of the worst business practices and cultures in the business world currently and it's all because of upper management not having what is considered basic human morals or standards.
@@Dire-Locke your biggest example is to look at video game companies???? really???? sure they don't have the best business practices but are they killing people? NO
@@scarlettrose842 Oh sorry! I didn't mean for it to sound that way. I just meant that video game companies are a great example of greed and turning a blind eye. They are a great example right now specifically because there is a lot of knowledge about these game companies and their greed being aired to the public. Serveral of the largest video game companies like Activision Blizzard for example are actively in court battles over things like greedy micro-transactions and sexual abuse charges as well as those sexual abuse issues within the company leading to a suicide on a company trip. I definitely wasn't trying to compare what happens in video game companies to being boiled alive in a steam room of a hospital. I just wanted to point out that many large companies have a serious issue with morality in upper management and game companies are a great current example of that breakdown on display to the public. The horrible things that happen from that breakdown is definitely going to differ from one company to another.
thats exactly what I was thinking they should've been charged more! especially since they were told by employees multiple times to replace it and they refused like wtf
That hospital should be held accountable for more than $75k. They were aware of a major safety hazard and deliberately neglected to properly fix it. Total negligence on their part. And sadly that negligence cost a life. My heart aches for her loved ones.
Right?!? 75k for a human life is ridiculous. People should have been charged for negligent homicide.
Someone must know a lawyer. This sounds like a huge lawsuit
HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO WELD/SECURE A STOP TO THAT DOOR,ONE THAT HAD TO BE ACTIVATED ANYTIME SOMEONE ENTETRED THE AUTOCLAVE,CHRIST ALMIGHTY A BLOCK OF WOOD IS THE ONLY SAFETY PROTOCOL ON HOSPITALS MACHINERY
IKR!! 75k is a fucking joke ay
Me too. Typical management being tardy.
I can't tell what I'm more appaled by. The gross negligence or the fact the young man's life was valued at less that $500k. Bacardi should have been sued millions for his death.
Yeah or the $75,000 the hospital was fined for steam boiling the woman alive after knowing about the problem for YEARS.
I was thinking the sam. Unbelievable
@@void5239 exactly what i was about to say
The family could have sued for more than that, and OSHA SHOULD HAVE fined them WAY higher than they did.
No proper training, no safety equipment, no ones following protocol... simple safety standards aren't being met that could have 100% prevented his death.
Sadly they took advantage of a poor family. I bet that 250 is gone too. Definitely should have gotten more.
Dae’s story just broke my heart. A young man who wanted to provide for his family and went to great lengths on his very first day at work to make an appalling impression And the company went to great lengths to prioritize quotas over Dae’s safety.

@@electrictroy2010 are you 👌
These filthy corporations and hospitals are let off the hook so easily, meanwhile a family has to survive their lives without their loved one and the the corps and companies get to keep on keepin on like nothing ever happened. And ya know why? Capitalism. Because one of capitalism’s main MO’s; a foundational trademark of capitalism is- money over people. Always and without fail. It’s abhorrent and it makes me want to puke.
Dae did everything right in life, went to school and workerd hard on getting a job .. He chose to do things the right way and ended up dying on his first day. So heartbreaking.
I would like to add that even people who don’t do everything right, don’t go to school, and don’t work hard also don’t deserve to die a horrible death
@@Hannah-zw9ow right? I dropped out of college and I have more in my savings and make more money than many of my friends that graduated college in 2016. Also, who fails the math portion of the armed services while studying to be a medical assistant? No wonder he didn’t get hired. Math is huge in the medical field. I worked in healthcare for 5 years before moving on to a logistics company and I used more math in my last job in healthcare than I do now
@@Bessy21 i also think there must be more to the story than doing everything right. Who lives in a lower class household without a father and doesnt get their first job until their 20s??? That seems sus af to me and leads me to believe that he was applying only to jobs that he knew he couldnt get.
It's also infuriating! When you work around machinery that can maim or kill someone, you don't just have them watch a 15 minute video and assume they're aware of all the risks. Shouldn't have sent a newbie to clean up that glass!! Very sad.
I'm crying
Seeing that first day selfie is heartbreaking. He was so proud of himself
That was a heartbreaking story
So sad for him.
What a waste.
If they thought LO/TO was going to slow them down, can’t imagine what a death investigation did to their quota. But that’s not what they were thinking.
Also, those fines need to be crippling to a company. I’m sure $300k was a drop in the bucket to them.
I came to the comments to say this. That story was so sad
😢
I've never cried after a Mr.Ballen story but Dae Davis' story was so sad and messed up. People really take advantage of those who need money and opportunities, its not fair.
There are disgusting people who would take advantage of a person who can't make ends meet. It is simply because those ones are desperate for any money they get. It is a sad thing but many people live that way having a hard time paying bills and for food
Ya but duy do be doing dat outchere yerboi,we can be the illest and furnish with toblerone, but gangsters be tripping, fam. Bless!
yeah that poor kid
That last one hit me. To get so happy and excited for your first job and to make your family and fiancé proud only to die after 90 minutes is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard
I remember that story
Broke my heart too
This makes me soo sad and soo angry.
A young black man's life, only worth $250,000? That's it? He still had a family, a young woman who loved him, and his future ahead of him.
A company that can clearly afford 2pay out a whole lot more for the reckless disregard of this young man's life it's a damn shame.
More ppl should know about how Bacardi handled this sad situation and how they basically didnt even change anything. I wonder if those disgusting employees even got fired.
This is bullshit and some ppl dont like race brought into the situation but I know it does I know how these companies treat people of color and it shows when he didnt even make it out alive from his 1st day of work.

It is that broke me too😢. More stories like this need to be told so we can boycott these companies 😡.
@@mariecolette9066 I'm not sure if colour played a part in this, it could also just be like "well we don't need to pay for temp workers, so eh, fuck safety"
Her life was so worth more than 75,000 dollars. Especially over an issue they were aware about and never actually corrected it
Her family should have sued them for MILLIONS!
The hospital board of directors probably was like "oh well 75k is still cheaper than replacing the equipment"
EXACTLY!!!!!!! I would have sued for millions!!!!!!! That is so 🤬 up. They knew it was faulty!
@@06sharhonda 75k IS AN INSULT. They need to feel that mistake way more than the price of "equipment" hell I wanna see the person in charge of that expense get jail time so unsafe to put workers in those conditions
Idk how they thought they could get away w not fixing the autoclave ffs, that’s literally the one piece of machinery that u cannot avoid using?? Like even if it were smth like an X-ray they could divert their clients elsewhere if necessary but there’s no way to get around using an autoclave unless they shut down the clinic.. the negligence & frankly recklessness is mind boggling & idk how they weren’t given an extremely harsh punishment considering their carelessness cost an employee’s life, who they seem to think is worth no more than 75k... I’ve seen injury lawsuits be awarded millions but this is what a human life is degraded to?? It’s infuriating tbh
You know the third story is so tragic and I feel so sorry for this guy. The fact that he took a picture of himself in the bathroom because he was proud made me seriously brought tears to my eyes. It is so sad and unnecessary considering the fact that he just wanted to make some money to help his family.... sorry bro... u didn't deserve what happened.
Yea for real, such a sad ending... just wanted more for his family. And to impress his wife... FIRST DAY too... poor guy, that family should have gotten WAY more money. And more criminal action should have been taken on both bacardi plant AND the temp agency... literally manslaughter at the least...
The lack of concern for this human being by the management makes me sick to my stomach. I had to take a break to cry before I could finish this one
Some people just get the trashiest luck. I feel horrible for these guys
Sad af!
But on the bright side he definitely got his family paid.
@@FeinkinFreky that’s not bright at all tbh, that money is not equivalent to the loss of his life.
Dae’s story is always heartbreaking to hear, I can’t believe the workers were so negligent when sending someone in such a dangerous place… how careless do you have to be ?? And the fact that the company was barely charged anything for such a tragedy makes my blood boil
Same goes for the hospital that didn’t want to replace the machine because of cost even though it was so dangerous
That terrible Bacardi story seems intentional- as if his bosses harbored some hate or disdain for this worker that was SO beneath them on their corporate ladder.
Hence their act of unconscionable, criminal neglect,
Bacardi gets fined a few dollars for killing someone and they kick his family a few bucks and move on. Same with the hospital story. They kill someone, pay a few dollar fine and move on. Makes me sick.
I agree, makes me sick that a company can murder someone and get off virtually Scott free. What Bacardi and the hospital paid is like sofa change. Especially when poor Americans get held to ransom by healthcare insurance. Disgraceful.
Yeah, it's pathetic. Here's a few bucks ... Sorry for the dead relative .. take care now . It's messed up
Ikr? And if you decided to murder sb you got life sentence completely unfair
Boycott Bacardi and everything they make!
@@bwilliams4477 they make crappy drinks anyways
“The hospital was ultimately fined $74,000 for her death.”
Hospital owners: “still less than the cost of replacing that machine!”
The system works!
Idk how they were fined so little when there is documented evidence of them being aware of the problem
Employers don’t give a damn about their employees and it makes me sick, especially when it’s the big companies and corporations that overlook the safety of their employees to continue raking in money
You have to pay for justice in the US>
Very sad indeed... T.T
I can't believe the hospital was only fined $75k. They killed her. The negligence of that hospital is appalling!
right?! they had so many chances to replace the door but didn't and then they literally burnt her to death. disgusting. same with the last story, they crushed that young man to death and got fined barely anything!🤬😡😤
That's absolutely f***** ridiculous I wonder if the family got a lot more I sure as hell hope so
They should have been sued not fined!!!!
I'm sure the 75,000 fine was from OSHA, the occupational safety and health administration, which has nothing to do with the civil suit that the family may or may not have filed.
omg yes! I was waiting for some astronomical amount of money and this lousy, completely negligent, completely detestable “hospital” gets fined 75K??? Hospitals have multi-millions. I hope that place has gone way way under.
Dae's story is heartbreaking. Lives should never be lost in favor of profit. My heart goes out to those he left behind.
For the last story, I can definitely back up the lack of safety in a lot of warehouses. I had several instances where a supervisor put me in a dangerous position because either they didn't care or didn't care enough to explain something properly, even when repeatedly asked to show or elaborate further what they meant.
That’s horrible dude!
I've had similar issues. That's why I will no longer work in them type of jobs. Seen horrible accidents, and was almost involved in 2. After the second one. I quit that line of work for good.
@@MrBallen it is bad but there are certain situations where a machine must be on to diagnose the issue. In this case, a professional tech needs to be called in. At the time I was just an operator but they made me climb all over the CNC’s while they were on, whether it was trying to find a sensor or whatever.
I was gonna say the same ... I worked many jobs through temp services and they definitely make you feel less than the "real" workers !!! 😠 Guess that's just how it goes .
Yeah I knew a woman who lost her arm in a Coca-Cola factory. They claimed it was her fault so they wouldn’t have to pay out and she couldn’t afford a lawyer
I was a temp once when I was younger. They made me lift heavy things all day knowing I was pregnant so I brought in a doctor's note saying I can't do that so they fired me. Sued and won. They thought I was dumb 🤣
Good on you. There are too few people that actually take steps to fight for their rights.

Good for you!!! Im glad you knew your rights and taught them the best lesson ever.. thru their all mighty wallet!!!! Proud of you girl!!!!
The first and last story is sickening someone should had gone to jail. Any fines under a million dollars does not even put a dent on companies like bacardi or a hospital.
Agreed, human lives were lost the hospitals & companies refuse to think about the safety of their workers & they have the balls to preach about practicing safety when they don't practice what they preach. Th hospital should've been fined millions & the heads of medical should've been fired.
The hospital management should have been criminally liable
The problem is that those fines are hard coded in the laws and since these companies pay big bucks for lobbyists to sway the only people that can change the law to actually punish these corporations... nothing ever changes. The only thing that ever hurts these companies is when they do something that causes so much public backlash the it would be political suicide to defend them or the stocks bottom out and the company goes under. But we all know another business will just take its place, doing the same behaviors and practices.
FACTS!!!! They need to be in jail serving lengthy sentences. The sent him in there to clean and knew he was there… those machines didn’t magically turn themselves back on, they had those machines turned back on!
Yes, super infuriating. “Sorry we got your loved one killed, here’s $200,000 for you to shut up and move on with it”. A life is worth so much more than that, and a company like Bacardi should be fine $10 million minimum. Maybe then they’ll start looking out for their employees safety
I will not be buying or drinking Bacardi after listening to this Rest In Peace to the people who passed away in the stories. 🙏🏻❤️
I’m with you. Never again! And I’m sharing this story.
This is sickening. I will also bicart Bicardi. Not sure it will do anything. But still.

I'm with you. It's terrible what they did to Dae. The operator/supervisor should have faced manslaughter charges.
Beer only now

Im not watching it. Yr comment broke me. Rip to this lovely person.
He did everything right and this was his reward. Life sucks sometimes and hopefully the people who ultimately sent him to his death felt the ramifications of their negligence. Absolutely heart breaking. May his family find peace and healing.
💯
i genuinely started crying. such an unbelievably heartbreaking story.
Imagine dying for $9 an hour. That’s heartbreaking by itself. And these managers should be charged with at least something even just negligence.
They should be charged with manslaughter.
Would it be better at $30/hour? Your logic is faulty
@@porcudracului At $30 an hour he would have had a better position that didn't require laying under a machine. Your logic is faulty.

Out of all the Mr.Ballen stories I've seen, Dae's breaks my heart the worst. His life was priceless but Bacardi definitely owed that family MILLIONS at least.
Yea but if your a poor family you dont have means to sue and all the probonos going to white people...its the paperwork u sign that keeps them from paying big

That poor kiddo! Doing anything and everything he could to help out his mother and younger siblings. Im sure feeling very high on life and so proud of himself when walking threw those Bacardi doors that very first day. ONLY to in just a short time, realize that he's just a second class citizen to that company and his safety (temp employees safety) is second to all others. Such a sad story. Not that what I think matters. But Im super proud of him and all he was attempting to achieve. It's extremely obvious that he had the potential to do ABSOLUTELY AMAZING things with his life!
Sending prayer of comfort to his family.
Dae's story made me so mad, he looked so freakin proud of himself, and didn't deserve that
Me too, poor soul 😧
Unfortunately it's a lesson you learn one way or another, sooner or later. As a new worker you should not blindly trust supervisors. They WILL get you killed or hurt in their own arrogance. If you don't feel comfortable doing something, don't do it. Rip Dae, condolences

@@blakehintz3207 Most likely cheaper than it would have cost to replace the machine in question.
I really feel bad for the last guy. He seemed so proud to be able to provide for his family and his life was cut short. Seemed like a genuinely good guy. :(
Heartbreaking isn’t it?? It really got me upset, I never get affected by stuff like this too.
I’m not some deluded political zealot, I don’t think racism is as bad as everyone says it is... but something about the fact that he was a low income African american guy REALLY rubs me the wrong way. I feel like (based on context from the video) these fractory workers were so OVERLY careless, brash, and down right STUPID about how they On-boarded this guy, and how they treated him when entering a potentially dangerous industrial scenario like that. What the fuck is wrong with people? Screw the “temps are second class citizens” thing, this poor guy was treated like GARBAGE!
edit: my eyes welled up reading that back again. Like seriously, I cannot believe this actually happened and the company wasn’t held to a higher level of accountability. That’s as fucked up as it gets, man.
@@OfficialDJLaxative I feel sick after that story! Usually doesn’t get to me but his determination and excitement combined with the negligence makes me so upset.
@@OfficialDJLaxative So you know, his supervisor and the operator were also black.
Companies should be fined much more for accidents resulting from not following safety procedures. Cause unfortunately some managers see it more profitable to take these risks as the odd fine is less than the extra profit.
@@OfficialDJLaxative I know what you mean. Like the odds were already stacked against him and he managed to catch a break. Only for so long. At least he died with a good heart and was proud of himself. He almost made it.
I worked as a temp about 3 years ago. They sent me to this dirty shop with OSHA violation written all over it. I ended up falling and getting a concussion. I left only about a month after that happened, but almost a year later I found out that the fall I had caused more problems than I originally thought. The retina had detached in my left eye, and tore the macular hole. Well 4 surgeries and $50,000 later I’m left mostly blind in my left eye.
Oh my god man. I hope life gets better for you and that they run out of business or something.
Wow. That’s shocking, I’d speak to a lawyer to check your options

Why would they get jail time?? WTF is wrong with you? It was an honest workplace accident, not manslaughter. The company can get fined for negligence, but those workers aren't going to jail. And rightfully so.

He took that selfie to commemorate what he had hoped would be the start to better things in life. I'm so sad for him and for his family.
Dae's story legitimately pisses me off. Cutting corners in a factory/industrial setting is not an option
Working in a factory, it's always what happens : safety does not go first, productivity does. Combine that with people who do not care enough wether by nature or because they are not paid enough, and you get a ton of accidents. I've seen and experienced many of them, people in my factory getting sent to hospital for some serious injuries, and heard about one death, all in only 3 years and safety is still lacking. Just today got a small machine explode on me that clearly had problems but no one did anything to fix it, thankfully it was a small one and it didn't burst into flame, but I've seen gas exits that could have sent the whole building blowing up and people getting seriously injured on fingers and arms multiple times, to the point where it's unrecognizable.
And I'm willing to be this happens in many factories throughout the world, factories just need to be safe on visits and anything goes the rest of the year. It does not seem that dangerous when you work there everyday, but one mistake for one minute and consequences can be disastrous. I see people judging harshly employees for not taking this or that in consideration, not doing this or that, but you have to remember most of them don't want to be here, many work for hours and days with little in between to breath and are subsequently exhausted to the point where mistakes can easily happen, and when machines are new or on the contrary are very old to the point you know them by heart, combined with all that was previously said, mistakes happen very easily if you're not careful, and a surprising amount of people working there tend to forget about it.
@@Carpatouille Which is why UNIONS are so important! I've shut down machines for safety/quality issues many times. Sometimes, I was yelled at. (oh well) Because we had a strong union, they couldn't even write me up. We need collective contracts so workers are not afraid to do the right thing!
@@tomorrowhowever7488 It's a good thing until it gets corrupted aswell...
The only thing we can do is judge risks the best we can, and not hesitate to refuse things if they get too dangerous for safety, basically we can only really fend for ourselves alone, it's the truth in both the factory and in life...
man i cant imagine what it would have been like hearing that palatizer powering on with him under it. Such a tragic loss
@@Carpatouille at 14:56, it's hard to see cuz the pic gets dark in back, if that broom had a really long handle, if you were back there in the dark, why climb under that machine?
They should have some kinda Roomba to clean that up, a long handled broom, squeegee or rake or something, not a human!
I worked for a temp agency, and I can tell anyone who asks, the temp company really does not care if you have an issue with the place they send you to work, in their minds if you have a complaint the first thing they they think of is (NEXT !) . You lose your job and someone else will take your place fast. I worked in a bottling plant for weeks, basic training which lasted only 5 or 10 minutes, no safety film or instructions. After a few days They had me train other new hires to do my job.I did this for a few weeks then I asked can I be hired permanently since the 3 or 4 new hires that I had trained were doing good( I was also) and the new hire were full time employees with benefits.
I sure could use the benefits as I had a family, but they told me to work for a few more months and then they would think about it. A few weeks latter I saw a worker get burned by melted glue that they use to glue boxes into cases of soft drinks. The hot glue is suppose to come out of a tiny nozzle under some pressure onto sections of the cardboard then its folded into a box shape, but the hose connection to the glue spray nozzle broke in half and hot glue shot out all over this worker face, neck, and hand. I saw him a few months latter and his face looked like it had been branded with stripes.

The "fine" for killing that man is sickening. It's pocket change for a large company.
unless a company's profit is publicly available we don't know how much of it's income is actually kept, it might actually be pocket change or it could nearly put them out of business.

Yeah I can’t believe they lowered the fine after the fact! If I get fined speeding can I tell the cop “I will slow down now” so then he can make the fine cheaper?
That whole negligence issue and fine smells of corruption to me! The safety commission probably got free palettes of bacardi to go easy on them!
@@harmfulmelody5958 Regardless of if it would put them out of business or not it costed a human life. How would you feel if you had a son who on his FIRST DAY was killed by negligence of a companies worker? Would you care if the company went out of business?

I mean he did everything, right. and they were lucky to have someone so well-intentioned and that fine, for that corporation, is almost worse than nothing. Bet they laughed their ass off and toasted to being invincible.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha it was a mistake. A miscommunication. Had nothing to do with productivity being more of a priority than safety. Even when everyone is well trained and doing their best, mistakes happen. It's unfortunate, but unpredictable.
@@Karamarika Mistake? I don't think so, lack of proper training is not a mistake it's neglect and he paid for it with his life.
@@sharonsnyder8057 as I recall from hearing about this event a long while back, the problem was that he went down to clean and a different employee came to take over, but the new employee was not informed that someone was down there. That is literally a mistake. A miscommunication. Exactly what I already said.
Mistakes happen. I am a nurse and one of the time periods where the most mistakes happen in hospitals is during change of shift. You have new staff taking over and things can get missed during report. Of course there are safeguards in place to prevent that from happening, but mistakes will still happen, no matter how well trained someone is.
It's not like the other employees conspired together to kill someone. They likely felt terrible about being a part of a deadly mistake. It's bad enough to have that on your conscience without assholes on the internet calling you a murderer for a mistake. People aren't perfect. Accidents are going to happen, no matter how much training and safety protocols are in place. In fact, it is accidents that help to get many of the safely protocols in place to begin with. You have to identify a problem before you can know there is one to fix.
I’m a teacher in Jacksonville, FL. I work in a very poor community. I work with the kids who end up in situations like Dae. They deserve so much better. Whatever race or background. Every child deserves equity, and a real chance in life. I can’t watch the news because I’m just constantly confronted with what my students will face when they leave me.
Are you okay in Florida right now? It sounds scary down there lately
I both attended (briefly, thankfully) and worked in inner city schools and my heart always hurts for them. They were good kids with all of the cards stacked against them. I went into the social sciences though so I can study the problems and prescribe solutions, as well as law to see them out. The sad part is, most people don't even know or care. Even most of the teachers in the schools stop giving it their all because they get so worn down. I am so glad to read your comment and know that there ARE other people who are caring for these kids in their community. I commend you. I know it isn't always easy, no matter how much you care. It's hard to watch the dysfunction and feel helpless. It's why I left.
I was with you until you mentioned that word "equity".
That last story, THAT WAS MANSLAUGHTER, we need some serious charges for that
Yeah not even negligence. That was just manslaughter. Although it’s impossible to tell what happened in someone’s mind. With something like drunk driving resulting in man slaughter it’s objective because the driver consciously was sober, decided to drink, and at some point chose to drive whether before or after drinking. They made that decision of their own free will. No matter what. With this, maybe the foreman just blanked that he was there. Definitely agree with you but it could never be because we can’t prove it was manslaughter. It was negligence at least. Definitions are super important

That’s so heartbreaking, He was just trying to support his family. And the factory only paid his family A measly 250 grand which is like A slap in the face. We are big and rich and you are below us. I hope those guys see this young mans face every time they close their eyes.
Wow
I so fucking agree!
That last story brought tears to my eyes. Such a horrible end for a young man eager to help his family. I know no amount of money could bring him back but what his family received for a settlement was an insult.
Indeed I would even call the last one a murder
The supervisor and the other worker clearly lacked any intelligence or common sense. The fact Day's mom settled for $250k shows that she either got bullied or her lawyer was shit.
Makes me sick. De was doing everything right and they treated him like he was expendable. And they treated his mom like he was expendable. They should have been charged with criminally negligent homicide. But insurance makes it easy for these corporations to get away with anything. RIP De.
@@Schnitz13 they didn't bully her. It was the temp agency that got screwed over and paid it. As the temp agency takes 100% fault. Even though it was clearly the factories fault
I agree, 250,000 is a slap in the face. Millions should have come into play as far as I'm concerned.
Safety should always be the top priority for any industrial production plant. Nothing is more important than making sure the lives of the workers are the #1 priority..... making sure that the people working for you, the people making you money, get home to their loved ones at the end of the day, not only alive but with all their fingers and toes. When a complete failure happens like this and someone is killed the cost to that company should be astronomical. This will incentivise the plants to make sure safety is built in to the mindset of all their employees. These things will only stop happening when these businesses have a safety first mentality. I hate to say it but 250,000 to bacardi is like me or you spending a 20 dollar bill at the gas station. It's a ridiculous settlement
The Bacardi one is heartbreaking he was willing to put himself in harm to show he can do a good job. Thats brutal
The last story is heartbreaking. I’ve worked in enough places that value productivity over safety and I’d honestly rather lose my job than risk my life in any way for a company that probably doesn’t even know your name. It’s sad that Day didn’t have that kind of knowledge or experience to protect himself. He was so excited too, ugh so sad.
Frankly, that last story makes the blood boil. Somebody should have faced jail time for that!
The fact they were so reckless with Dae’s safety is terrible. He was so excited to work there too. 😢
The lack of safety shown on that worksite is a shame to civilization. No lockout tag out, no toolbox talk, no SWMS, nothing. Absolutely disgusting.
I hate to say but they didnt get fined and the little money for his family. I bet if it was a white person more would of been done

That last story about Dae made me feel physically sick. I’ve heard the story before but in a much more clinical fashion. The way you tell the story not only humanises Dae but also built such a connection with him and his family, I will never again be able to see this story as a simple “lock-out/tag-out” cautionary tale. Thank you for doing justice to his life and family in your retelling.
It’s interesting how the manner the information is related so heavily influences how the information affects us.
@@FoeHammerTime it really is, and MrBAllen is an amazing story teller.
The second story is the reason why people should be careful about trusting local guides with your safety. Not the first story I've seen on this channel where a guide took people someplace they shouldn't.

On the other hand, it's fun
She sacrificed her life to save them??? Things happen. Dont put down local guides for this.
I’m from the big island everyone knows what you can do and what you can’t . I’ve swam at boiling pots growing up there was no signs but the area was fenced off and there was ropes for the side . I. Only know 1 person who drowned there.
Dae shouldn’t have been sent down there, they should have sent a more experienced worker, they would have known what to expect and protocols to follow; management clearly ignored Dae’s obvious concerns. They murdered him. Justice was not served.
I agree but unfortunately on most jobs, the cleaning tends to go to the green/ newest guys
@@sadistksuffring1537 Yeah, start from the bottom and work your way up. It was the same when I worked in the factory. It’s like a rite of passage.
The fact they blatantly ignored the lock out/tag out procedures is what caused the issue. In good factories cleaning and maintenance are only done if the machine is rendered safe. As soon they told Dae to clean it without doing that I knew what would happen. They deserved far more fines and a larger payout. The operator and manager should have been charged with negligence.
how you gonna expect a 2000 pound crate lower on you if the guys didnt care enough to check, its not like procedure to tuck and roll lol they turn it on ur fucked thats it no matter how trained u are especially when even the trained people dont lock out the stuff same thing would have eventually happened to the trained guy as well sadly. people are just lazy and dumb nowadays if its not safe say fuck u and tell them to do it it law to refuse unsafe work plus u work at a temp agency lmao not this shit factory say u want to be placed somewhere els.

I feel bad for Day. His first job and all he wanted was a job and a life so he could pay his bills and get married. Sad.
yeah that really bummed me out. he was so happy that he took a picture of himself in his gear. i'm proud of him
It seems they took advantage of his lack of job experience and though that showing him a quick 15 minute video was all he needed to jump head first into a job he didn't completely realize what was expected of him, so sad and he was obviously excited to finally have a job. RIP
The fact that he had gone to a military high school, then Job Corp just to try to better himself and actively sought a job to help support his family make it even worse :/ Like, the world really fucking sucks when you can try your hardest to achieve your dreams then have them literally crushed because of some careless asshole 😞
The final story about Day is just so heartbreaking. He was so proud to have his first job. Bless his heart he never gave up trying to do right by himself & his family. Such a tragedy. May he rest in peace ❤
Definitely! I have no doubt that Day would've been successful in life, due to his positive, hard-working mentality. His family and friends must be proud to have known him. R.I.P. Brother...
I can't believe his life was only worth 250,000. A husband with family.
SO sad! I was listening and all I could keep saying is, poor baby! He just wanted to be productive and be a provider and these careless, selfish people just didnt gaf about anyone or thing except production smh
This poor young man and his family, just horrific 💔💔💔💔
capitalism rocks !
O. M. G. Listen people! The HOSPITAL was FINED $75,000! No mention was made of what/if the family sued! They probably did & signed a do not disclose agreement. Which unfortunately usually means the defendant doesn’t ever need to publicly admit to any wrongdoing. 😢
well no. the hospital receiving and paying the fine is in itself proof of wrongdoing. and publically admitting to wrongdoing is sort of irrelevant as long as they did so with the victims. maybe im missing something but i cant imagine them posting an apology on twitter doing much more for the situation. regardless, i hope their private settlement was so large they never forget what their negligence caused...
Dey’s story was so incredibly sad. This young guy did everything right and tried so hard, but couldn’t catch a damn break.
Ridiculous explanation re 'no one could hire him' with his medical studies. ... but his first job puts his life at risk.
Very heartbreaking
Poor guy, life really isn't fair sometimes.
Thank you for saying perfectly what I was trying to say.
SO heartbreaking 💔 An amazing young man
That last story really hit me hard and the fact it was his first job and he was so excited about it, he wasn't trained for it and shouldn't have been sent to do that job. 250k was nowhere near enough of a payout for his family!
Agreed...especially with alcohol. They make a ridiculous amount of money.
Well said SMH
Exactly #BoycottBacardi
They treated him like he was a broken piece of glass. A young black man with his future ahead of him, he was loved, he was trying and nobody cared enough 2teach him the danger he was in. 250k is a disgrace!
I agree with you, but $250K is a lot better than $75K for the girl in the first story, who went through at least 10X more excruciating pain with a much longer duration of pain as well.
The last story is gutting, the guy was just trying to do a good job and he lost his life all down to a company trying to save a couple of bucks. It makes me mad that the fines and money to his family were so pathetically low.
Honestly, and i would say that someone should be serving a manslaughter sentence for at least the first story. These employers make me sick
The fact he died in his first day is just sad. He was excited also his family but then they heard the news of him getting crushed

Yeah, the profits over people mindset is fucked and we're going to end up having more and more horrible things like this happen as long as corporations are prioritized over human beings. The Triangle shirtwaist factory fire is another prime example of what happens when companies are given free reign to treat employees like they're disposable as long as the company is making money.

@@valkyrja-- LoL, You're a complete idiot if you don't think that's how most companies operate regardless of their country's economic system.
The aftermath of the autoclave and Bacardi incidents on Tracy and Day left me incredibly pissed off. Not just that they pretty much gave out the implication that both the deceased's lives value only a sum of thousands of dollars, the people that should've been held accountable get to continue working there, in fact the companies were even pardoned all because they promised to improve their safety protocols only after they've taken the lives of two employees as if those tragedies were as mundane as accidentally running a forklift car towards a stockpile of fragile items.
I’ll never drink Bacardi again. Absolute tragedy. They did that man and his family wrong. 250k is a slap in the face. Should’ve been 250 million.
Same. Fuck those bastards! Dae deserved better!
Yeah this is so sad. 250k is f all compared to what other people and families get for less. This case is used in safety training videos now, so much sadder knowing the story behind it all
Ikr, also the 110 thousand dollar fine? That's nothing compared to the Billions Bacardi's worth. Bacardi pretty much got off the hook with this. I will never drink their spirits again.
My thoughts exactly. F Bacardi
They knew the payout could be so low bc they were already suffering from poverty and probably couldn’t afford a good / proper lawyer to take it to trial and the company probably knew that since they were already poverty stricken that anything is a lot so that’s most likely why they only gave the poor mans family 250k because to them that might as well be 250 million but you’re right it’s a big ass slap in the face. May god bless that man soul
The last stories made me so much sadder than any story he's ever told. He was so excited about getting a job and he just wanted to do his best
I feel the same way, 100%. I’ve listened to every MrBallen story and this one was the saddest for me!!! 😢

Dae's story is why lock out tag out is so important for factory workers, and if you work in a factory remember you always have stop work authority ( the ability to stop work if you feel like you or your life could be in danger) and cannot be fired for using it.
For real! The amount of people who are unaware that they’re obligated to refuse unsafe work and legally cannot be punished for refusing is so depressing. No job is worth more than your health and especially not more than your life
People don’t have the money to sue, and employers can lie and make up another reason for firing you (depending on your state/country)
Technically and Legally can't be fired for it. Still happens all the time, if management wants you gone ( and after pulling the whistle they definitely do ) then they'll find a way to do it and make authorities look the other way. Disgusting but true ( at least in the States, can't speak to the rest of the world )

How they got away with the autoclave situation for that long, boggles my mind. How did a health inspector not find that?? And $75,000 is an absolute insult. Wow. How tragic.
I've worked in a hospital before. The only way to get any problem that could result in injury or death fixed, is to threaten to go public with the info that they are ignoring safety concerns.
@@inkblotthecolt Why threaten? Get video and expose it to a reporter... If they don't listen once, they won't listen UNTIL it costs them mightily... SO cost them. Just remember to cover your own ass when you do so.
Threats are "pie crust promises". I don't stoop to blackmail to try to get my way. The boss learns QUICK, I MEAN it when I bring up a valid concern. ;o)
To be honest I'm not surprised about this there's always that story of company arrogance over a faulty thing but after all the complaints from the staff all that's required for them to actually listen is the death of a worker
They probably kept this very quiet, too. For me, this is a local hospital, and I've been a nurse for 13 years, and it's the first time I've ever even heard of the incident. I'm super surprised about how low the fine was, too. I've worked for facilities who were fined more for using eating and drinking supplies (cups, etc) made from Styrofoam instead of plastic. $75k for something that resulted in death is just...wow.

I've worked temp agencies before and it's a toss up what job you get...out of all the jobs I was sent to whether in an office or a factory setting...the common factor is the negligence and rush put into the process of getting you where they need you and back to their business. Consideration should be taken when working with any machinery. It's infuriating that this system is set up in such a way that this man lost his life and his family had to endure the loss plus the battle of loopholes in court.
Literally. What's even more baffling is how tf did they not realize he was still down there and you JUST told him to go clean the damn bottles? Truly criminally negligent.
I've worked for temp agencies. They're great if it's an easy office job. I would refuse the factory ones.
They gave no shit about him. If they could have killed him without stopping production they would have in a heartbeat
Seriously, usually any warehouse or factory work through temp agency, is usually because that place can't keep employees, and there's a reason for that.... So they link with the temp agency. People between jobs who need work immediately are usually the ones who get stuck in these places.
I didn't know that about temp agencies until my big brother got hurt at a plant and wound up with brain damage, he did get a lawyer and some money, but he actually died before everything was complete. That made me so mad at the world when that happened. He was a father figure to me, he raised me and taught me so much, and now he is gone cause of an accident that happened when he was working for $10 an hour.
I WAS A TEMP & NOBODY ever told me about lockout/tagout procedures. I had several factory jobs where I thought it was “normal” to fix the machine while it was still running, and being a teen, I didn’t know any better
.
That is horrible. I'm sorry for your loss.
Fun fact: here in Italy we used to have a type of college specialized in teaching jobs, not only they had courses on safety regarding your chosen study course, but made you take temp jobs while making your boss to file reports about both the work and safety procedures taught each day, it was all financed by the ministry of education, but then education minister changed, laws were revised and even started a propaganda to shut down these schools, this happened almost 20 years ago, fast forward to today, we have more people unemployed and more accidents

That third story was devastating. Of course the fact that he was black played a role in his difficulties finding work as well. What a tragedy. Our country fails people like him all the time. I also felt horrified at the number amounts Bacardi had to pay, I was expecting millions (same with the hospital… WTF!)
Same. It bothers me severely how little is put into safety and procedure. Even with things like apartment elevators or motor vehicle operators, people are constantly breaking safety rules, regulations etc, and nothing is done and none of these people care until life is lost and they have to pay a small fine. 😔
I doubt him not being able to find work very easily had anything to do with his skin color. I do think Bacardi should have been sued for millions and those supervisors should be in prison.
Thanks to affirmative action it's actually easier to get hired now if you are black. Same with getting into college and many other things. You don't even have to work as hard or be as qualified. It's harder if you're white or Asian.
After giving birth to my son I had to find work ASAP so I went to a temp agency. The sent me to a factory that packages beauty products. On my first day they didnt even explain anything to me. Just gave me gloves and a hairnet and told me to stand in this line and do what everyone else is doing. They kept switching me around through out the day to other stations and would get annoyed if I wasn't working the line fast enough!.
The machines we were working around moved so fast and all I could think is how fast I can get hurt because they didnt train me or anything!!. After that day I didnt go back!! And a few months later I got a letter and a check in the mail due to them being sued.
You are a lucky woman for sure! I hope you and your son are doing fine now!
You listened to your gut instincts. You’re a smart person.
You did great! Remember, you cannot spend money or support your family if you are dead!
You can hear the anger and disgust leaking out of his voice as he's telling us Dae's story...
No you can't
@@equim7363 Agree.
lol what? I hear nothing different.
He doesn’t show any form of pavement
No I can't
That autoclave one is a perfect example of why hospitals should never ever "repair" machines whose design is faulty.
I'm curious how these stupid designs even get into production into the first place!!??
I get that the machine's door was faulty, but how was the *design* of the machine itself faulty?
@@encycl07pedia- not sure if you meant to reply to me?
the door is a part of the design; there should have been provisions to open from inside.. or at least to prevent from self-closing ..
@@walterbrunswick I was replying to the OP, but any answer is fine.
There's not much info in this video about the machine. The door was broken and fixed but supposedly it was a persistent problem as it kept breaking, which would be a design flaw. Thank you for the reply.
@@encycl07pedia- it was faulty install, not design. It was not level so the door shut. It was fixable, they were just dumb, not a design flaw.
