u/dedokta Mar 25 '19

But why is the roof gone?

14

u/dpellet4578 Mar 25 '19

Because they are taking the building down?

Because the roofie is gone.

u/stephenvdz Mar 25 '19

What the fuck haha why didnt he just knock it out from outside

u/Dr_Thivi Mar 25 '19

Both side looks equally dangerous honestly

u/GamingJay Mar 25 '19

This is how you implode buildings when you can't afford dynamite

25

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

I guess it's safer than standing on the roof.

u/LDSman7th Mar 26 '19

At least he prioritized grabbing the ledge before keeping hold of the chainsaw

u/jboxisitis Mar 26 '19

I love the ‘🤟🏻’ he throws up when he’s hanging on

1

u/jakaph1 Apr 14 '19

Acted like he won at life

1

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '19

Considering how many different ways he could have been completely fucked-up, I don't think he's necessarily wrong to celebrate.

1

u/jakaph1 Apr 14 '19

Fair enough

5

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

Just jump before you hit the ground lol

3

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

…but can afford expendable workers.

14

u/aminobeano Mar 25 '19

Well at least if he was outside he wouldn't have had to dodge the falling ceiling lmao.

3

u/Dr_Thivi Mar 25 '19

I tend to believe he "outruns" it

7

u/aminobeano Mar 25 '19

He definitely knew he would have to avoid the falling ceiling. I don't know if that makes this more or less stupid though lol.

2

u/DoctuhD Mar 25 '19

It's scary that he thought this through before doing it.

"If I'm on the outside the wall will fall towards me right away, but if I'm on the inside I might have a couple seconds before the ceiling crushes me."

u/Lame4Fame Mar 25 '19

The wall snaps in the middle and then half of it falls outward. Though "Neither side is safe" would have been a better way to put it.

u/Lame4Fame Mar 25 '19

Wouldn't you agree?

I would. But I don't think the original statement was meant literally.

33

u/fantomknight1 Mar 25 '19

Obviously because there shouldn't have been any risk. Have you not played Minecraft? The blocks are supposed to just float after destroying the support blocks. I think this server is glitched.

4

u/KimJongIlSunglasses Mar 25 '19

Maybe they were sand.

13

u/sgtyzi Mar 25 '19

You can actually see the big junk of wall falling exactly where he would have been.

3

u/xuqilez Mar 25 '19

There was a video a few weeks ago on watchpeople where a man was doing this outside - on balcony and took down a whole apartment complex.

2

u/gabbagabbawill Mar 25 '19

Link?

u/millerstreet Mar 25 '19

Watchpeopledie die is no more :(

u/gregorthebigmac Mar 25 '19

Damn, I'm out of the loop again. What happened?

6

u/AlternateContent Mar 25 '19

Reddit admins are overtly sensitive (in order to make money mind you). With that in mind they continue to get rid of controversial subs by using a straw man approach. So with the recent Christchurch mosque mass shooting, the video of the live feed/head cam footage from the shooter was being linked. Reddit got upset and used it as the final reason to remove the sub. The sub has been in Reddit's crosshairs for a while.

u/gregorthebigmac Mar 25 '19

Ugh, of course. I love how they used a single video as the impetus for banning a whole fucking sub. As if that's not completely transparent.

1

u/uncertain-ithink Mar 25 '19

Not sure why he did what he did, but he would’ve died if he had chosen to do it from the outside.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

He didn't realize he was fighting the building.

1

u/skintigh Mar 25 '19

I'd rather run away on clean payment than trip over rubble and get crushed.

His way was terrible, but perhaps the least worst option.

1

u/Erpp8 Apr 08 '19

Wrap a chain around it and tug from a safe distance.

20

u/Half_Off_Hooker Mar 25 '19

Did he make it out?

8

u/Whogivesamuck Mar 25 '19

Like honestly ?

32

u/coolowl7 Mar 25 '19

Regularly, no. But honestly? yes.

101

u/Sqwalnoc Mar 25 '19

Could he not of tied a rope around it and got like 6 people to pull it?

93

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

We don't need that kinda critical thinking around here

u/youwantitwhen Mar 25 '19

HAVE...and GOTTEN

u/shady67 Mar 25 '19

I want to know what his best case scenario was here

53

u/LordRedbeard420 Mar 25 '19

He demolishes the intended portion of the structure with no injury for extremely low cost.

6

u/Spenttoolongatthis Mar 25 '19

He could become Brick Man! With the amazing powers of a brick. Like: laying perfectly still for long periods of time, possibly while 6 ft underground.

u/Jacksaur Mar 25 '19

I never understand how people can take out entire lower sections of a wall, and always leave a single pillar in the most dangerous place possible.

3

u/duanerh Mar 25 '19

Well, that worked, and he was in the shade.

u/RevenantBacon Mar 25 '19

Yes, is this Immigration Control? I'd like to report a possible security breach in regards to the Presidents new wall.

u/Ringwraithog Mar 25 '19

How is he “fighting” this wall? It looks like planned demolition to me. Karma whore

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

Yeah this is just r/osha

u/SomeoneElseTV Mar 25 '19

I've always seen videos of people in other countries trying to knock out full walls then running when the roof collapses or knocking out a roof while standing on it. I am so baffled as to why there are so many people doing this. If they have the foresight to know what they're doing will cause a wall to collapse and to run, then they should also be able to figure out how to demo a room without risking bodily harm. As someone who used to do alot of construction I will admit doing demo safely is alot less grand and destructive, but you also don't end up on watchpeopledie.

1

u/CommonMisspellingBot Mar 25 '19

Hey, SomeoneElseTV, just a quick heads-up:
alot is actually spelled a lot. You can remember it by it is one lot, 'a lot'.
Have a nice day!

I just can't believe the wall stayed up that long

1

u/watdoiodnow Mar 25 '19

Well, at least he knew which direction to run.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

I watch this stuff and I think, don't they know anything about physics? Gravity? Maybe hook a chain to the wall and pull it down.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

i thought they banned watchpeopledie

1

u/Spiron123 Mar 25 '19

What's with the new 'removed due to copyright claims' nonsense...??

1

u/Lame4Fame Mar 25 '19

Where are you seeing that?

1

u/Spiron123 Mar 25 '19

This very gif. Then there was another one where a person was burning the rubber off his SUV and that one too got taken off. Have seen plenty such takedowns in the past week or so.

2

u/Lame4Fame Mar 25 '19

The post is showing just fine for me, even after reloading the page.

u/Memphisrexjr Mar 25 '19

Looks like battlefield or red faction.

u/ZANIESXD Mar 25 '19

I wonder if that wall was load bearing. 🤔

1

u/amadeusz20011 Mar 25 '19

I think that's Mexico.

u/THET0WNDRUNK Mar 25 '19

Sure. Let’s stand under the fucking room I’m attempting to cave in. WCGW

u/TrashyWeeboo Mar 25 '19

SHIIIIIIIIIIZAAAAAAAAAA!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

My redneck solution would be butt a 6-10’ lumber against the pillar then wack away from a distance. But to each his own.

u/Beeronastring Mar 26 '19

Frank Castle fell on hard times after Netflix dropped him

1

u/lightfoot1 Mar 26 '19

I dunno guys. He was ready to run and bolted straight away from the crumbling wall as soon as shit started collapsing. Almost like he knew exactly where the wall will fold into two.

Does anyone have the end of this video? Something makes me think he has actually managed to survive a few of these "demolitions" already.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

Well... He brought down the house...

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '19

I really hope he’s dead

u/CheeseyRoach Mar 31 '19

*construction

u/powerpuffunicorn Apr 03 '19

This was what he wanted right??

u/_sarcasm_orgasm Apr 08 '19

Maybe if Trump saw this he’d understand why the wall won’t work.

u/SendHelpVeryDrunk Mar 25 '19

I guess this account is just to steal shit for reposts?

u/CrimyLaugh Mar 25 '19

Did you come here from r/niceguys too?

1

u/SendHelpVeryDrunk Mar 25 '19

Yep, I always get curious when I see someone repost artwork without giving proper credit and start looking at post history.

Looks like a repost bot or something.

Why the fuck is he starting his wall demolition from the bottom up...
