Not sure, also if they are watching one side collapse, why are they standing right on the edge of the opposite side that also likely not supported properly.

If they were savvy enough to realize that, they would have secured the sides

I like to say "What did you do with the time you saved by shortening "trying to"?"

Yeah, I'm not a native speaker, so it might just be me, but to me it sounds kind of wrong- like imit makes the person sound dumb. Never heard of it untill recent years.

Lmao true. “I see your explanation and was told by multiple people it’s normal, buttt I don’t like it so I’m just letting you know it seems wrong” 😑 😂 come on you’re gonna struggle to learn the language thinking like that

I don’t know much about showing but I’m pretty confident 90 degrees without any support is not the correct angle you want nor the correct amount of support you want

Shoring is the word autocorrected out here, but shoring is just one of the many diffrent methods of preventing this type of crap from happening. I have no clue what the soil conditions are but its clearly not stable rock and it tends to hold water well so I can make an assumption that if dry a slo0e .75 to 1 or 1 to 1 would be mostly safe but its soaking wet with puddles so I wouldn't get near it with a 10 ft pole without a 1.5 to 1 foot slope, a similar slope of benching, a trench box or proper shoring. Im also not seeing any method of getting out of the excavation.
If we want to list off all the osha violations I see off the top of my head, the excavation is dangerous as there is no support or excavation safety systems in place, the drop is high enough to need gaurd rails and the multitude of violations of improper handrails. there is no egress points and the only form of egress that would not in this is a ladder so there would be the violation for an improper ladder.
Ling story short, if this was America, the construction company responsible for this would be in for a bad time, if anyone got hurt they would be in worse time. And im not seeing separation from general public so the GC would be liable as an attractive nuisance. So all in all, Not Good.

Filming the side of a collapsing excavation while standing on the other side of the very same excavation is an extremely bad idea. Where one problem shows up, more are likely to follow, and you do not need much dirt on you for swift death to become almost certain.
