you've gotta laugh

Whoooops!! Wonder if that forklift driver still kept his job after that.
 
That's tragic. That poor vodka and Cognac. All it wanted was to make people happy :'(
 
its the royal mail sorting dept :P
 
I sat open mouthed at first....and giggled a bit.
Then realised its a fake :p
 
If you look, the 'stock' comes crashing down in 5 phases. The main area you see is split into four sections of shelving, two either side.

The driver reverses and hits number 1 on the left, which pulls down number 2. But why does it?
I can see how the crumpling of the zone of impact leaves structure 1 unstable, but this then starts to collapse towards the centre...at an angle away from number 2. You can clearly see that the direction of structure 1 is falling *away* from structure 2, but somehow pulls it with it?
It can't be connected as it takes a short moment before it pulls structure two (you can clearly see a gap, as indicated below).

These two structures then fall down, seemingly 'clipping' the right side, pulling down section 3, which again pulls down section 4.

Now I thought I spotted a flaw running the video frame by frame. If you drag the slider across the relevant parts you see structures 3 and 4 momentarily jump into the air before falling over.....why? However, if you watch it realtime, you don't see this (could be the missing frames when skipping via youtube making it seem like it's 'jumping')

Then, after all 4 structures have come down, you see a couple more at the top of the screen, either side......afterwards...surely if it was being pulled down by column 1, then it would come down the same time as column 2, not afterwards when the dust is settling?

Plus I'm sure there was some mention somewhere about the boxes falling too lightly or something. I didnt really look at that.

Could be real, just smells too devastating to be true for me.
 
I'm not ruling it out as fake, but the sheer weight, coupled with the sheer instability of shelving like that could cause it to collapse in many ways.

I've worked in places like that* where one wrong move and the whole place could come down. Bit like that clip....

It was a motor factors and clutch kits were piled high on flimsy shelving, thousands of sets of brake pads lined up next to the clutch kits. etc etc ....
 
Type VODKA in the Wingdings font and all will be revealed.
