The Sayano-Shushenskaya dam accident
here
someone says:
Looks like they accidentally closed the outlet doors on no. 2 turbine rather suddenly when it was running at full power. You cannot stop such a huge
volume of water so suddenly and the massive increase in pressure blew the turbine apart and launched it skywards. The escaping water tore away the
roof and flooded the hall, when it shorted out all the transformers. All of the other turbines that were operating suddenly had no electrical load on
them, and accelerated to destruction. the internal explosions of the windings etc caused them to to sieze in their housings, and the very sudden stop
caused them to twist their housings out of the floor .

A properly designed control system wouldn't let them make dangerous control decisions (at least without levels and levels of override
required).

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Very bad 
Surprising as before the accident that place looked in very good condition indeed and not the usual run down accidents waiting to happen as we tend to
expect to see over there. Pity someone seems to have made a mistake hopefully it will be repaired and they’ll learn from their mistakes. It will be
interesting to hear what went wrong.
