Thankfully nobody was hurt.

ummm... WOW!

Its incredible that one small hit could knock down the entire place, bad planning there!

[GTR--J]

Ouch...lol. Looks like those skimpy shelves were waayyyy overloaded.

Ouch...lol. Looks like those skimpy shelves were waayyyy overloaded.

They aren't unless the structure is compromised... i.e. taking out a racking pillar...

think of a skyscraper. they're a bajillion times heavier than what fell here.

architecture = ability to hold heavy stuff... unless you take out the foundation.

don't mean to insult you, but I think your comment was, for lack of a better word, ignorant. think for a min before you post

further note:
my second job is at a warehouse (loblaw distribution centre) and it looks like this lol. I've always wondered what it would look like if it came crashing down!
much more of a domino-effect though, I'd imagine, because there are like 20+ rows of racking and they're only about 2.5 meters away from each other... probably like 20m high...

[DrMango]

guess im just ignorant too, because i would have described it the same way. way overloaded. Even after reading your asshole post, i would still say it was way over loaded. The shelves behind even came down with little contact from the first ones. just the way we ignorant people see it i guess. dont care how you say it mr warehouse shelf construction specialist. think or a minute before you act like a **** over something stupid like this in a OT

Little contact? Does it look like a feather fell onto the other racking?
It took out the entire bottom shelf. You think it, even EMPTY, would still hold up? Would ANYTHING without a BOTTOM hold up?

Your posts just ramble on about without getting to a point while using no evidence to back up your point.

simple wiki shows:

Architecture (Latin „architectura“, from the Greek „arkitekton“, ὰρχιτεκτονική – arkhitektonike, from ὰρχι chief or leader and Τεκτονική builder or carpenter) is the art and science of designing buildings and other physical structures.

Architecture is both the process and the product of designing and constructing spaces that reflect and functional, aesthetic and environmental considerations. Architecture requires the use of materials, technology, textures, light, and shadow.

I LOL'd when I read this:

architecture = ability to hold heavy stuff... unless you take out the foundation.

I agree that the warehouse was overloaded and set up improperly. Explain to me how the opposite side fell when it wasn't taken out by a fork lift. They were quite unstable and just needed a little encouragement to fall down.


Just enjoy the freaking video, and stop telling people they are ignorant then say you don't want to offend them. That doesn't make any sense.

Its mostly the way you took the d!ick road on telling him he wasnt right. You can take the high road and tell someone nicely that they are wrong, and there is a low road where you act like a prick. you took that road. i think those shelves should be able to handle the little forklift bumping it. yes i have driven that same hyster(?) forklift and yes i have bumped shelves before. Should be able to handle it. end of story. be nice and enjoy a funny video without picking peoples comments apart with your flawed theories

Concur, it's as if he is some kind of a warehouse shelf architect lecturing all the ignorant non-architects about the structural integrity and load capacity of warehouse shelves.

[Skym]

It looked like the bottom of Forklift hit the side of the archway, where the Forklift's can move from one side of the structure to the other. When side of archway collapsed, nothing was holding the shelfs above archway and boxes, crates collapsed into space under archway while pulling the rest of the boxes, crates with it.

The other side collapsed, because the falling boxes hit the same spot in archway on other structure and same thing happened.

I think they didn't reinforce the archways enough, so even a simple bump in the right spot can make them collapse.

It looked like the same way you chop down a tree (or use a chainsaw these days), so it falls in the right direction.

[Southie]

i think it would be hard to argue that it wasnt overloaded......its a liquor warehouse....so just imagine how much each one of those boxes weighed. i can probably guarentee that if you were at that warehouse and saw the shelves before it fell, they would of been bowed.

[Skym]

I agree, weight of boxes wouldn't of helped.

Do you think the shelves were made of wood with steel at end of structure. Or were they painted the same colour as wood???

They look really thin to be used in a structure holding that much weight.

[raijin-xiii]

i think those shelves should be able to handle the little forklift bumping it.

Alright I agree on that point for sure; I thought you were talking about the second racking on the right in the clip when you said "the shelves behind."

At least I wasn't sarcastic. You went overboard there.

Touché, M13. I'll admit I'm wrong there for sure.

GTR--J, sorry for that comment. Again, a misunderstanding and then a poor use of diction by me. I'll take the beating I'm getting.

I think I found footage from the guy's last job...


and this was even more of a structural-integrity failure.
