Fork Lift Accident Brings Down The Warehouse Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqC2URQstz4#normal)
-
LOL :o
-
quality units right there
-
thank god they have cages
-
retards
-
those were cases of vodka and cognac, btw. :'(
-
This is why that shits supposed to be bolted down.
-
I heard that shit was over 100k worth of stuff
-
no shitin you, this happened at my work. a guy bumped the racks and it took them all down, about 80feet long and 2 levels high.
stupid thing was is the racks were bolted together but not to the floor.
racks had multi-millions worth of sysco systems computer parts. lots of damage, was a fucking dust storm for hours.

wtf do you think bolting down a rack is going to do?
You buckle a corner support and the weight it supported is now hanging on the surrounding supports with a nice lever arm. Stamped steel is not meant to support against torque just support weight. Combine that with now overloading because of the missing support and the next row of supports will buckle.
Watch the video you can see the posts bend like snapping toothpicks before the whole thing drops.
That is why you see the large concrete filled steel posts next to structural supports in most factories and warehouses with machinery forklifts etc. THAT is what will stop something like this not bolting the erector set to the floor.

It's a $5 possible prevention measure I would have taken. That and not having either shitty equipment with sticking throttles, or hiring non fucktards

I think I read the guy was texting at the the time.

Yea, that would DEFINITELY fall under being a complete fucktard. I've texted at pretty inopportune times, but not in close confines like that.
-
thank god they have cages
Yeah, that's what makes it funny. Without the cage it'd kill somebody. I'm surprised no pedestrians off-camera were hurt, it obviously took down some acreage.

Saw this on Leno last night. That man has no shame, half his show is viral videos now.

You should check out Leno on TopGear season 13 last episode when he does the "star in the reasonably priced car".
He had one of the best stories I ever heard from on there.

:o Intense.

Bolting them down properly prevent the house of cards effect. This rackes were NOT overloaded.
No bollards or guard rails = certain fail.

I know in lowes their racks are 20x beefier. Like all 6" I beam construction, and they're bolted down to the floor like whoa. But I suppose that's because customers will be walking around and they want zero chance of a collapse. But I could imagine you could drive 5 fork lifts simultaneously into a Lowes rack and it wouldn't fall over or collapse.

And the other half is in-show advertisements.
-
yeah I hate waiting at lowes, but here I know several folks that work there so I get priority. And the title of this thread still cracking me up.
-
you mean to tell me they don't have lumber at the dollar store?
-
speaking of material, you need some new stuff
i hope they have new materials at the dollar store. i suspect i will find some between the cdm water wings and cap guns
-
why am i the only one who asks this
why didnt he use the boom to free himself?
Chuck Norris would

That would require more brain power than "not texting" while operating heavy machinery.

i was climbing on a rack at lowes trying to get some wood and they yelled at me. told me i had to wait for someone to get it down for me.
i had already been waiting 20 mins.
it took you 20mins to get wood
only cause i was surrounded by mexican men.
if your mom was there it would have taken 30 mins
Comedic fail

Sorry I worked in a warehouse for 2 years, and on more than one occasion i drilled a support with forklifts, manlifts and the like, they bent slightly but were anchored to the ground and didn't topple. This warehouse = Fail

Thank you for the backup, albeit a little late. Still appreciated though
