Default "My last day working at Home Depot"

pretty funny video! I'm really surprised how that all came down. I thought those shelves and racks were pretty strong and sturdy.
oh well, sorry if this is a re-post!

I'm wondering if maybe that was done on purpose. Look how quickly the operator is out of the forklift and knows exactly which way to go.

Wow, looked like a house of cards coming down.

I doubt it was fake, because that was way too much merchandise that has to be scrapped at a lo$$.

I didn't mean fake. I meant maybe that working did it on purpose to get back at an employer.

Now you know why when you design a spaceframe (or any frame for that matter), you never put a bending load in the middle of an unsupported tube. Always make sure you have a couple tubes coming together

I've been in Home Depot enough to know that's not really Home Depot. That's some kind non-public warehouse.

Great video though!

DANG! I wish it had audio, not to make light of the mess, but when will I ever see something like THAT again?
Looks like the forklift dude took a face-plant on his way out....
