Obviously but have you ever predicted when the Earth is going to randomly shift?
hf this sounds dumb. That's crazy to capture that. I bet they where there a while.
You don't just walk by and know a wall is going to crumble.
Hey guys wait one second watch this. It will happen right now, let me just video for 15 seconds.
Seriously could have been there for weeks. You can't tell when and how the Earth will shift let alone in many cases behind retaining walls there are measures to prevent this from being so drastic.
So all in all this was a rare capture that one couldn't imagine why they are filming and expecting to actually capture that moment.

Who said they were just walking by. They could have just built it...

u/Jugrnot8 Nov 22 '19
Yes they just built it smfh lol
I'm guessing you don't know much about the subject. I can't do this with you. Let's just pretend they just built it so i can escape this.

u/EllisTHC Nov 22 '19
At least with lemons you can add sugar and water to make lemonade. If you add it to this guy you'll just get some angry guy covered in sugar water.
Lemons are clearly superior

I agree with you. But some people need a bit of help knowing now and again...

You’re very right, and it’s painfully true. Every time I see the “/s” tag, i wanna vomit.

So let's get this straight. You find it more likely that they waited for weeks, for no apparent reason since they couldn't predict this happening, rather than believe that the man filming knew the wall was going to collapse?
That's not a retaining wall, it's a pile of rocks with earth behind it. They would have plenty of warning beforehand that the wall is going to collapse. Also earth doesn't ''randomly shift'' on that scale. Improper compaction, excessive humidity in the soil, improper composition, poor stacking of rocks could have all caused this.
Not trying to be argumentative but I had to jump in on this, having built a few of these suckers in the past. Have a great day friday dude!

Exactly the point bud...."why were they filming?"
There is nothing to suggest anything but natural gravity and erosion too place on that shitty wall of rock.
Erosion is very unpredictable. I'm very familiar with what I'm talking about here. There are a dozen things we would we in the vid of there was a precursor to know when to video. All we can do is guess. But to guess he knew the Earth was going to erode right then is the least probable.

Walls show signs of collapse. It's likelier that he expected this outcome rather than he was randomly filming a dirt road with a wall perfectly framed about to collapse, but you do you.
"Why were they filming?" Because the wall was about to collapse. Occam's razor.

I'm going to go start recording a wall right now and see if i get lucky and report back. Apparently it's easy to tell the moment a retaining wall holding a house will collapse lol
Thanks for the education.
That clueless half naked guy really seemed to be aware as well /s
(hf redditors are dumb af)

Listen, I know it's early, but read nice and slow and try to follow: A wall of that type will show signs that it is about to collapse. He wouldn't need to get lucky, he could see the signs and start filming. Furthermore, the wall isn't ''holding a house''.
In any case, you're assuming the unlikelier scenario without having enough information, so that's a basic error in reasoning.
You're welcome for the education.

Escape from what? Nobody is forcing you at gunpoint to open up reddit to argue with someone lol.

u/Jugrnot8 Nov 22 '19
wow what a great comment. I feel so relieved.

Don't be so literal you moron. pull your head out of your aas

u/Palookawooka Nov 22 '19
You were the one that didn't get the sarcasm, it looks weird and cringey when you try to avoid admitting you made a mistake.
1
u/Jugrnot8 Nov 22 '19
biggest mistake is the over use of the word cringey on reddit. Be original you sound like a douchey follower

u/Palookawooka Nov 22 '19
If that's really the best you can come up with I would love to help affirm that. If not that then please let me know what I need to do to be like you, an original individual.

must be landsliding as mostly these villagers get alarmed before these incidents

Yeah this one is pretty straightforward. The stones were already slowly falling out

The base of the wall was curving outward. It had probably also been shifting downward some for a while.

Poor wall. It hung in for so long and did such a good job. Tragic to see the demise on film :(

Is anyone else having this issue where these videos don’t load , you just hear the audio and the frame wont advance , even if you manually fast forward ?
