In a previous life in nuclear power, we had just cone out of an outage and rolled the turbine up to 1800 rpm prior to synchronization. Received high vibration alarms on #4 main bearing, which is a pedestal assembly about 4 ft tall for a 30 inch main shaft.
Shut down reactor, coast down turbine, cool down oil system and all sorts of other stuff. It was a really big deal.
