If those legs can get bent, flying to mars, would be as easy as
flying to London.
It was reported that the load tests were done the day before,
not on the day it happened. It happened on a normal working day,
and the brakes on the motors failed.
Of course they don't need so many on board while doing it, but
they still need guys to in the control room running those legs, a
few guys more checking this and that, and a whole lot of guys at
each leg just to make sure its moving the way it should.
And that's how its done, yes, I took it in Singapore.
That is why I ask as someone mention that the jack leg had bend
which is quite rare though pls, it is still possible, I saw it
happen offshore before. That also why i mention that there should
be no workers onboard during loadtest. It should be be couple of
commissioning guys which are client rep, class rep, a couple of
yard guys, and a few operation guy that running the system. And
that should be all, I can't think of any other people that need to
go onboard. During that time, there should not be any other work
being done. At least that how SG practice and all the different
place that I know practice.
