The crucible actually melted. Those are the wrong tongs for that job. Too much weight and all pinpointed on the rim of it. Too much strain. Now if only there were other, more appropriate tools for that job...
The metal working parallel to spilling hot fat. With the difference of the metal shop being set up for hot flaming goo to spill w/out burning down the house.
Good on him for having the presence of mind to just back away and let things go to shit. 50/50 I would have tried to grab it or fix it and ended up in the ER.
Floor is lava molten bronze edition. Looks like it spilled into a pile of coal, but the runoff onto the floor would have made a downright dangerous splatter if you tried to get near it.
The "OH SHIT" and "FUUUCK" announcements are reserved for relatively safe mistakes. When you hear the little "uhoh", you drop what you're doing and run
for the briefest of moments I was like "huh, where's the rest of the tongs?" and then realized he was using pliers to pick up literally crumbling material. yikes!
From the color of the crucible and the thermal wear the user has on, I am guessing this is steel, it has a melting point of 1370°C to 1540°C (2500°F to 2800°F).
Nope. Steel would have sparks flying everywhere. This looks like bronze or copper, since it is molten around an orange heat and doesn't have the zinc smoke of brass.

Yes, 'oh-oh' is right.

That stuff was flowing like water, so it was really really hot.

This is the proper response to spilling molten metal - get the f*ck away from it!!!

OddOod
Do not run. Walk quickly.
IhopeUgetwhatUvoted4
OH SHIT and FUUUCK are generally expensive errors. Uhoh.. not so much.

I'd wanna argue it depends on the where and when you hear it.
manystripes
And once you have no chance of getting it under control, sometimes all you can come up with is just "oh"
Affray
My default seems to be "Hmmmm" once I've lost control of a situation.
homoerection
Maybe a “huh” then a “hmmmmm” and then a “fuck”

If you're working at a refinery and you hear a *ping SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* you don't even wait for words. You run.
AxellTheDragon
And to quote Chris Boden: "If you see me running, try to catch up."

Come on man. Circle grip tongs. Thats one of the first things my metal shop teacher taught in how not to pick up a crucible.
AntaNce
Yep. And if one's casting, dipping the tongs into what you just melted is fucking stupid too. It WILL pollute your alloy. Fire this idiot.

Maybe this video was meant to show you how Dufus does the job. The Mike video is next

Looks like the crucible actually broke here, probably because of the wrong tongs too many times.
artdecoasfuck
I mean, that IS the first guy's point... with "once" being the answer to how much "too many times" is.
Dragon10449
It looks like that might be the case, but yeah it would have still been prevented with the correct tongs
NightfallEverdark
Circle grip tongs was what he was trying to make here, but the crucible slipped.

Crucible broke.

That's what I was thinking. It's like, cmon, you were asking for it.
