A fail so epic, it needs its own thread

Nope, not really.

Well I know what a precious commodity new threads in the Pit Stop are. Forgive me for squandering our most valuable resource.

I totally thought the grey building was going to get taken out.

[Freude am Fahren]

Me too. I can't really call this a fail. Seems like they just made things easier on themselves??

[speedpimp]

It just doubles the work of the people who will be sorting through the rubble for "vintage bricks".

:shrug: Doesn't seem like much of a fail to me. The operator seemed to do what he was supposed to. Sometimes weird things just happen with old buildings.

I'm going back to Trump tweets. They always deliver.

[Freude am Fahren]

Maybe this thread itself is the epic fail? Failception.

[Cam]

Sad horn.

If in fact as the commentator / bystander states, they just munted the next door building, then this is a whoops.

Also, brick buildings = why a bunch more people died in the Christchurch earthquake than would have done otherwise.

[Freude am Fahren]

Had no audio at work. If that's the face, it is in fact an epic fail. But I can't imagine it is. I think the bystander doesn't know what's up. 1) Don't think they would use that machinery like that. 2) The construction crew doesn't seem concerned and keeps demolishing.

[Sad, little man]

No, it was very much the wrong building.

It's out of view of the camera until it comes down on the other building, but it seems like they left a tall section of brick wall sticking up precariously high.

In fact it makes it all the more hilarious that they just keep tearing shit up even after it happens.

Edit: I guess being that it was an "emergency" demolition, it's more understandable.

Insurance will cover it, and maybe both buildings were fucked and doing this just uncovered a previously unknown situation.

What if each person who reads this started one new thread this week?

[Sad, little man]

Sounds like a functioning and active internet forum to me.

[MR2 Fan]

if you fail at failing, does that mean you win?

Dick is soft.

Sorry to hear that, Drew. Hope you get it sorted soon.
