Catastrophic?
Location unknown?
You can tell it’s in the US because the “Catastrophic failure” is fairly tame and no one was hurt. Also everyone was wearing safety equipment.
No Carbon was emitted during this event.
So who fucked up more: The route planner, the driver, or whoever was meant to be spotting the driver around that corner?
Is there any sort of sub for watching big things break or fall over?
Theyre so fucking huge!
Was that Randy Bo Bandy in the hardhat?

Location Norrbotten County, Sweden

Ironically, the wind caught it.

The guy falling over ?
the lamp turned into *noodle*
