Fail of an epic proportion......and what a waste of perfectly drinkable ETOH.

(Thick russian accent) "I tell you, it was moose and squirrel"
That sucks, I hope those guys were ok |
|
If you look at the other forklift you can see him gun it as soon as it falls on him. I think he was able to make it?
|

Holy smokes. I guess it would help to know how to drive a towmotor.

HaHaHaHaHaHa,
That was hilarious. I saw similar events when I worked at an Anheuser-Busch brewery. Dumbass union workers had unlimited beer in the cafeteria. Some would get sloshed and go out into the plant and cause massive carnage. |

I've done stupid shit in my life, but not that stupid... yet....
|

Wow, maybe better quality shelving and robots instead of the stupid humans!
|
|
I wonder if the "top shelf" Vodka tasted any better than the bottom

Quoted: typical dumbass russian You obviously haven't seen some of your fellow Americans operating forklifts. |

Quoted:
can those shelves topple so easily??? I'm thinking those shelves were loaded somewhere well above their max working load and a bit less than their failure load. The forklift driver took out ONE support at the end of one shelf, and it totaled two whole rows of inventory. The warehouse owner was scrimping. |

Quoted:
can those shelves topple so easily??? In one word, OSHA. Here you are required to secure shelving like that at the top, basically to prevent that from happening. Sooner or later, the fork lift will hit a shelf, our shelves had lots of dents in them. |

There was a bridge over the aisle that linked the shelving together, so both sides came down.

Quoted: can those shelves topple so easily??? Modern pallet racking is designed not to do that. There is so much wrong with this video |

booooooo.... bad description, i was looking for a freaking plane to fall out of the sky.

Sooner or later, the fork lift will hit a shelf, our shelves had lots of dents in them. Pretty much. All shelving and all warehouse vehicles meet one day, usally the first or second day on the job. The saving grace is operators who know how to correctly operate the trucks (so they aren't moving fast and stop quickly), and properly secured and loaded shelving. Once again, major calamity follows operator error and poor engineering decisions. |

That's awesome. I drove a forklift for a while, so I can appreciate the humor. It is very easy to destroy stuff or even kill somebody, but I never took it to that extreme.
WTF does your thread title say "Airshow crash" |

Quoted: Sweet acceleration on the forklift. Quoted: I wonder if the "top shelf" Vodka tasted any better than the bottom These! Quoted: can those shelves topple so easily??? In Russia? Do they have OSHA in Russia? |

Well shit. There's a bunch of vodka that will never get into a dry alaskan village.

That and I suppose they don't subscribe to "the robust russian manufacture" philosophy used for the AK47 when it comes to shelving. |

Same here, I backed right into one one day, all it did was scare the shit of me and cause around $100K of Gatorade to shake around for a few minutes. Thankfully, the shelves held and all I got out of it was a good natured ribbing |
