(12,645 posts)I've seen it a couple times when guys that have self-control issues get into an escalated state before when I worked shipyards. At a certain point in the situation, each guy snapped - just wanted to burn it all down and take as many people out with them as they could. They basically went feral; tearing down scaffolding, cable runs, pounding on equipment, throwing tools, fire extinguishers, and light machinery, opening valves, turning over liquid containers...being as carelessly dangerous as they can to cause as much damage as they can.
Ever have to jump behind metal rack to avoid a CO2 fire extinguisher after some idiot got pissed and hit the top off the extinguisher with a fire axe? The extinguisher ended up crushing his skull and broke the back of my welder who couldn't get out of the way quick enough. All because of a disciplinary discussion his lead had with him a couple minutes earlier a few spaces away. The guy just snapped, saw everything in a haze of rage.
Of course,.this commentary is based on my experiance, and may be totally wrong in this case.
