The video, titled “Lathe Incident,” refers to an incident in Russia in which a man was killed by a lathe.
The “Lathe Incident” video became popular on social media after many content creators posted about the original video.
The disturbing video was so difficult to watch that an animated video recreating what supposedly happened in a Russian factory containing dangerous machinery also circulated on the Internet.

“Torno” in Spanish translates as “lathe.” A lathe is a machine tool used in industry to shape parts of metal, wood, plastic, and other materials by rotating the workpiece and applying a cutting tool (such as a chisel, drill, or lathe) to the material. in rotation.
Lathes are widely used in the manufacturing and metalworking industries to create parts with precise shapes and sizes.
