Black Friday: an employee accidentally destroys half of a warehouse, on video

 an employee accidentally destroys half of a warehouse, on video

In the middle of Black Friday week, this viral video shows a warehouse worker accidentally destroying half of the shelves with his pallet truck. The fall of a first shelf causes a domino effect that drives half of the shelves and their parcels - in an anonymous establishment. The very impressive video, which just appeared online on Facebook, was actually filmed a year ago. It is unclear whether the truck driver escaped unscathed.

In the video, we can see that the pallet truck, which arrives in the direction of the camera, drift slowly to his left before the accident. The vehicle then strikes parcels slightly which, surprisingly, suffices to destabilize the whole of the collapsing structure. The pallet truck is then projected on the shelving opposite which under the effect of the shock falls in exactly the same way. The shock wave of falling pallets causes more than half of the warehouse visible by the surveillance camera to fall. The pallet truck and its driver are then buried under a mountain of packages / cardboard packaging and remnants of shelves.

For now, no one really knows if the driver survived, or even if he was able to keep his job. In the comments under the YouTube video, some point out the fragility of these shelves and the weight undoubtedly excessive they seem to support. Others note that the aisle used by the pallet trucks was obstructed by packages, which may explain why the driver drifted to his left before the accident.
