I probably would have just rolled it back over and covered the hole back up the way it is supposed to be that way nobody or animal falls in the hole. But that’s me!
If you look at the manhole cover it’s a whole lot more then just the cover. That’s the entire insert that’s in the road, good luck rolling that anywhere.
Solid steel, about 300lbs of cold, hard, awkward, dangerous material... But I admit I would have used my skid steer and done it. I'm not 30 anymore... Lol.
I’m a snowplow driver and has ejected covers, you know if you pop one out. I ALWAYS roll them back and reinstall them. You then collect the location information and have the road crew fix the ( too high) manhole as soon as they can. We go out in the fall, before snow and repair any objects that might get hit by the plowing operation. Some may get missed or frost heaves them up, so constant reporting will help.
@@LordLucariosLair If I knocked one out I would clean out the lip and put it back. It is now in a safe condition for traffic but not for plowing( it will get knocked out again if some else is plowing). As soon as possible the cover would be lowered or the surrounding raised to make it safe for plowing again.
Wow, where i live the crews leave them 4 inches above the pavement and just call it good, so the plows just dont run even close to the pavement! Its a fckin shitshow all winter lol
Yeah, call somebody. Don't just put the cover back on the hole. Get a whole city crew out, maybe some can stand around leaning on shovels while one rolls it back to the hole.
When you record video with your phone... turn your phone sideways, like your TV, your laptop and your tablet. (landscape mode) You'll get way more scene + you'll avoid the bars on the sides.
So, as teens back in the '60s a group of us would be sledding and riding bikes, walking our dogs. At night under street lights...but then we also didn't have snow plows or hole covers. Glad no one got hurt Hey! Where's the dog?😱 Has anybody seen Roadie?.🐕..he went out with y'all ...go call him in. 🤣🤣
Lots of that in Pittsburgh. See one every other day. No one is rolling or lifting that around. Usually around 250lbs and that's the whole ring, so more like 300+. Chain drag it over.
I drive snowplow and manhole covers dont get ejected like that, it get pushed, it never really leaves the ground . As someone mentionned in the comments, its almost impossible to not notice and we always try to get it back on by ourselves. otherwise we have someone else fix it and / or put a temporary trv7 or sumthin
I’ve always remember where the raised manholes were, went over them slowly with no down pressure, never shot the puck but have seen it done. If that’s the old style Neenah cover it’s about 80 pounds, that could do a lot of damage.
@Stanton Taylor what I always do, grab the sewer puller tool from behind the seat and put it back. We're also responsible for the sewer system in town. Don't need someone or something falling in the hole that doesn't belong there.
Props to you! Ya probably saved a poor soul lots of money and even an injury! Some people just turn their heads don't give a shit, don't want to get involved! 🙏💪🔥💯🇺🇲
1) If it is covered with snow you don't know it is there until you hit it. 2) The cover could have been pushed to where it was found after it popped out. 3) If the manhole was constructed properly the plow would not have caught it. They are designed to be installed even with or slightly below the pavement.
all it takes is for someone to lift it and put back on without cleaning the rim so now it sits higher. Also asphalt can compact more over the years of traffic and such. or if manhole cove got replaced , but the new one is thicker for whatever reason. there are many factors on why this can happen
@@douglasmatheson403 I don't live up north so I really don't know but I'm wondering if is possible for water to have gotten under the lid and onto the rim where it froze, maybe several times, and the expanding ice then raises the lid?
@@disillusioned070 quite possible.....I work on trail crew in sierras so my experience winter plowing when it snows then summer I work on the trail. I have seen rocks (over years time) "lift" and fall out of place, this is mostly smaller ones that taper down(pyramid shaped/point down) once laid as tread. My observations of this= the rock gets moved slightly by stock or foot traffic which lets some debris/dirt down and around it. the more times that the rock will wiggle now that it is not in contact with other rock(in the rock tread) it will repeat this process and eventually work out of its once "placed" position(this dirt type is really loose when dry -mostly composed of rock dust) I know its different than a manhole cover but you did get me thinking about this. and I have to say its probably a possibility
@@douglasmatheson403 It would be interesting to find out if manhole frames have built in recesses or drain holes that would help prevent this. Even if they do I imagine they would probably fill with road grime and become clogged overtime.
I hit one first time plowing for the season and it stopped the F 350 dump to a dead stop. Good thing I has seatbelt on. Even then I hit the roof and next day in the daylight saw the coffee stain where my sealed mug hit the liner and sprayed coffee all over!
indeed, manholes surely can be dangerous. Right now as I type this with my head down I am walking over to inspect one that I just saw and AAAAAaaaaaahhh..*splat* :)
I love when they show people popping manhole covers with their off in tv and movies. They generally weigh about 250 pounds and you need a special tool to hook them. That's more than I weigh.
To be honest, whoever installed the ring should have lowered it by at least a half an inch below the driving surface. Doesn’t matter if it’s concrete or asphalt. It should always be slightly below the driving surface.
I complained to city hall for years to settle tipping manhole covers on the main streets. In 2016 I believe there was a manhole cover that was driven over by a truck. The cover flew like a frizbee into a woman's windshield, decapitated her and went out the rear window. 35 year old art teacher. Boston, MA. So, now, instead of going to city hall/mayor I go straight to public works! A portion of sidewalk here in Waltham, MA hadn't been repaved in more than 50 years. Right ext to train tracks. All pot holes. I use a wheelchair and I have to keep after the city to make sure things are accessible. I showed them a photo and described the problem, Head honcho comes out of the office and says it will be paved by Wednesday (it was Monday). I was surprised it got done but loving it. Perhaps I should run for mayor. Moral is beware of tipping manhole covers.
I love your name, Watch City, named after Waltham Watch Company, I'm assuming. Used to live on Taylor Street right up from a bar called Toranto's Lunch that used to have a really good dart team. That was in the '90s...
This happens at gas stations all the time in winter. The lids, and sometimes the entire metal ring they sit in, gets completely swept away by the plow. Sometimes they even reappear come springtime.
Open man holes are really dangerous. I knew a guy in high school who was crossing a flooded street with another friend when that friend just disappeared. It turned out the kid had fallen into an open manhole. They never found the body.
Ive hit pone of those plowing in a skid steer with a plow on it it sent it flying at least 10', 1) the impact lifts it coupled with momentum and force of being struck...2) the powerful "fold over" springs help launch it further. Plowing is no joke esp hitting fixed objects with something with no give like a bucket, I know someone whos broken ribs plowing and this happening. Its hard to see anything buried under snow...only if yo remember its there! But even then....what you didnt hit yesterday might have slightly shifted or changed, where you'll hit it "today"
This was my first yr of commercial plowing for the city. I popped one out, I looked in driver's side mirror and thought I saw dem hedge hogs peeping out, so I stop, i couldn't believe my eyes. These 10 little nomes hopped right out walking over to that cover and rolled it back on. Just before it shut the last one gave me a dirty look, for I have messed with the wrong nomes. Oh believe me they exist. Unfortunately I got fired. Not because the man hole, they just didn't believe me about those nomes. 🙃🤐🤔🤔
I'd say making this video was a public service. I had no idea that this was a thing, and you have no idea if he's physically capable or whether he's waiting there with time on his hands warning people until the city takes care of it.
I know its not ideal weather, but here when its like that (used to be most of winter, now its only a month or two), people still need to function, dogs to walk, people without cars still need sidewalks....mail men still deliver mail, people shovel driveways...... Is it normal for manhole covers to be hit by the city snowplows in such a manner that they fly that far away? Those things are heavy.....what if it hit someone while it was flying through the air? If a car had been coming towards the plow on the road at the same time, what would have happened to them?
Problem is, calling anyone but the police department will get you the bureaucratic runaround game of pass the buck. A police vehicle with the lights flashing usually speeds up the process of getting the remedy in motion faster.
Plow was going a little to fast he probably would of rolled over it if he was doing the correct speed for plowing and sanding, it just lucky for the driver he had a two way trip on his plow
"now I have to call the town and put something over it"..... I pay enough money to my county every year that I dont expect to see it back in the form or traffic tickets and road construction delays....I expect snowplow drivers to do their job and do it well, that includes stopping when you hit major things like manhole covers, and fixing the problem then. Town should have already been called, manhole should have already been fixed, driver should be reprimanded, drug tested and require further training.....no action should be required on your part.

Call the police!!! That is a huge safety hazard and the stupid plow driver had to know he hit something major. Damn snow plow drivers are menace. Forget about cars! Someone walking could kill themselves falling down that hole.

Great example of lazy ass workers. I saw part 1. The driver knew he hit something. Did he care? Not one bit. Had he cared he would have stopped and investigated. I would think he would then replace the cover.
He might have wanted to normally, but we don't know his situation, some places there is too much to cover on a given shift, this place could be understaffed, more added on to plowing duties that create a rush attitude in the work place.... also hee might be used to hitting many bumps on his route (such as cracks potholes tree roots pushing up the asphalt, whereas he felt it looked in the rear mirror didnt see anything an did not see it.

Good job of spotting the missing manhole cover but perhaps spend more time getting it back in place or calling the street department BEFORE filming. Priority on safety not video creation./
Call and report the snow plow driver who knew he knocked the cover off but couldn’t get his lazy ass out of the truck to put it back on. We had an upstanding public servant who took out mail boxes for half a mile and laughed about it. Happy to say he is no longer employed with the city and the city gets to pay for a lot of mail boxes.
Put the man hole cover back. Why would u put something else over it. I'm not sure what the big deal is. This isn't unheard of I've seen it plenty of times. Its Exaggerated theater to call it a dangerous projectile. 100 times more dangerous to be effing around covering it with something else.

....and the conscientious town employee didn't take two minutes to see what he hit.
That is disgusting.
How do you know it was a town employee? Ooops, thats right, you have no idea who it was. You blaming people with no idea of who to blame is just as disgusting. Just shake your fist and go "ooooooooo".
@@rickpedia6724 Hey shit head. If you froze the original video - it says East Haven Public Service. So get off your fucking high horse. You are disgusting with your deflection and ad hominem attack.
Roll the bloody manhole cover back over to it why don’t ya
So what
Do you understand how a plow works? It didn't projectile it over there. It discarded it as it plowed.
Call the city telling them you fell in man hole then video.. perfect lawsuit.
