The YouTube videos are just prettier: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=DVZ1DY0r4y4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=DVZ1DY0r4y4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;In general the rolling mills call it a &amp;quot;cobble&amp;quot; when a whole or partial bit of steel escapes the rolling mill. Lots of exciting videos.</text></comment>
