The bearing was removed from the crane, shipped to China, repaired by RTR, and shipped back to New Jersey. There, it was assembled and additional repairs were made to the turntable assembly. Finally, the crane's temporary bearing and turntable assembly was removed and the repaired assembly put in place. - m( S" [) F!

伊凡版主，首先我質(zhì)疑這則新聞的可靠性，其次我覺得標(biāo)題“中國維修產(chǎn)品在美制造慘劇-2008.5.30”有些危言聳聽。 + n; \' Q) s8 {% ? w4 R' \原標(biāo)題可以理解為“軸承故障卷入了紐約起重機(jī)倒塌事故中”。2 R' V/ X: R/ l' V+ B
整片文章并沒有刻意強(qiáng)調(diào)“中國維修”的字樣，只是介紹了承攬維修業(yè)務(wù)的是中國RTR軸承公司而已。 3 L, Z6 `6 [2 G+ {1 l4 ] w: w& p* j. V廠家忽略了RTR公司對(duì)焊接的不自信，只為了圖便宜看中了RTR公司近1/6的低報(bào)價(jià)。( d2 E+ X4 y- d8 x
RTR公司維修后的軸承也是美國人自己驗(yàn)收的，出現(xiàn)事故責(zé)任不在一方。作者: 伊凡 時(shí)間: 2009-5-27 14:13
天氣斑竹的話,說的不完全對(duì),無論是誰但凡報(bào)價(jià)就要承擔(dān)后果,既然已經(jīng)接單維修,說責(zé)任不在中國人一方,自然是說不通的,任何有責(zé)任心的行業(yè)人不能拿美國人民的生命不當(dāng)生命,拿報(bào)價(jià)和商業(yè)信用當(dāng)兒戲,這是責(zé)任意識(shí)的問題+ R3 E: D; F7 V$ [& d
