No one in a million years could've predicted this might happen...
I'd suck a dick if it was paying overtime....
Sincerely,
A Salaried Employee that isn't elegible for anything beyond a pizza party for working 90 hour weeks.
You need to learn to act your wage
What’s my wage again
Nobody likes to pay you over twenty-three
Are you still amused by unionizing?
What the hell is OSHA?
I think it's a rock band from Sweden
The rock band makes me think "Opeth" but the ending with an A makes me think "Abba" and now I have Mikael Akerfeld deathgrowling "Man After Midnight" in my head.
If you’re serious, it’s the Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration…if you’re not…dunno…Oh Shit Holy Asshole…
I've never heard this, I like it, and I'm stealing it
Can I get a chart of expectations so I can accurately act my wage?
Job description | pay grade | do task
Not job description | no extra pay | do not do task
40 hours a week contracted, work 40 hours a week.
90 is more than double 40. If you're not making more than 200% of the minimal pay for your position, you could work two other full time jobs in the same amount of time.
Yeah but family business culture, they got me a turkey for Christmas
Your family? Working like that mike make sense if you expect to eventually come into an ownership stake. Otherwise, maybe some time at a faceless corporation could do you some good.
Yeah, but gotta impress my millionaire boss who doesn't give a shit about me other than as a tool to exploit for free to make even more money
Maybe don't do that job anymore
Yeah...about that...pizza party is gone due to budget cuts...
I mean $20 is $20 right?
Your not wrong in the slightest everyone can agree
Working in news has taught me to fight for an hourly pay seeing my salary coworkers work just as many hours over as I do
90 hours?? What exactly do you do?
you better start looking in other places. if you're sub 40 you should not do more than 3 years in a job unless its a dream job. like, breast sculptor. hmm, that sounds nice.
Offering? It's more like mandatory.
I saw the post on IG and the top pinned comment say they made the team stack it back by end. Wanted to comment how crazy that was but them lost the post.

Never been in manufacturing, eh?
If it fits, it ships
We got 2 dedicated vans waiting on product for a Saturday production day on their line...
Do you have any idea how much it costs to shut down their lines?!
$4,708 a minute, Joe...
A minute, Joe.
That's just one line, ok?
We supply 14 lines at a time, Joe...
So... You better just... Figure it the fuck out!
We've got deadlines!
Anyway, you'll be staying over with Chuck and the 2nd shift warehouse crew, but it's 3:05 and I'm late for my daughters recital.
So.. My phone will be on.
I had better be getting updates hourly, Joe.
You'd better pray that I can get a hold of Cheryl and see if she will let me do Mondays run until we can get this fixed .... Well, until you can get it fixed.
You have any idea how much a Saturday run costs nowadays, Joe?
I'm just... Do I need to have James take you in for a 21 panel test?
Once they hit the ground they're trash. A dent will tear the liner and they'll eventually leak all over a retailer's shelves. Then the retailer pulls the product and sends it back. Worked 30 years in manufacturing, the last 3 in beverage manufacturing and distilling. Empty cans are a pain once the bands are cut.
Leaking on a retailer's shelf is least of your worries depending on product. I used to work with an acidic alcoholic beverage (pH 3.2 - 4). If a can went onto a pallet with a leak the product would corrode the other cans making for more leaks until you had a cascading packaging failure that could kill the whole pallet.
Sales having to deal with crediting and replacing bad product with a retailer is one thing, having a pallet with leaky cans collapse and damage another pallet (making those cans leak) is a nightmare.
Ive seen this kind of thing happen more than once in the span of one year working for a big soda company as a FLT driver. It just happens sometimes and its super fun to watch. Not fun to collect tho but we had this spiky things so we dont have to bend. Wasnt too bad
I'd like more info about the "spiky things", I'm genuinely interested.
Probably the same things used to pick up litter on the side of the road.

Well it’s a big improvement from the t-rex arms they were using before, so there’s that
nothing beats meat hooks, except of retractable metal hook
Prongs?
We still waiting for part 2 😪
Why would you stick the can wouldn't that create a new because the liquid inside?
Probably better to bleed the cans and clean up one big wet mess then haul full cans
Those cabs haven't been filled yet
There's already cans on the floor so this isn't their first time either
"Sir a second forklift has hit the tower"
Propane doesn't melt steel cans
in Keanu voice "Cans! It was just cans!"
Can-astrophic damage!
/in Steve Martin voice/ Cans! He hates cans!
Has it really been 22.3 years already?
That’s the first time I’ve actually laughed at a Reddit comment in such a long time.
I laughed more than I should have at this. Great play.🤣
Damn that’s hilarious
Their are a bunch of cans piled up before this even starts. WTF is going on.
Yeah this looks like a disgruntled employee to me
I dunno. Could have been a spill, and they were attempting to save what they could since it was going to tip anyways.
How did the cameraman know the accident would take place?
Because knocking down the towers was an inside job.
propane can't melt steel aluminum beamscans
Because it had already started, thats why there are cans on the ground
Never attribute to malice that which may be explained by stupidity.
Well, I hope he’s feeling gruntled now.
Never forget
Where were you when the towers of red bull fell? Remember 7/11
A second forklift has hit the can towers
TIL Steve Buscemi was a mop operator at 7/11.
😂
God, I miss giving awards haha
That looks like Watermelon that fell. Nothing of value was lost. That blueberry on the other hand…
Arizona tea gonna be $1.19 now thanks to this guy.
5000 cans per pallet. I hate skids of empty cans. Whole thing is held together with the tension of the bands. Crunch part of a row, and suddenly you're picking up cans forever.
They manufacture the empty cans first then fill them later??
EDIT: thought about it more and I feel dumb now lol not like they can manufacture the can with the liquid already in it lol
No reason to feel dumb. I can imagine some sort of machine that is taking aluminum sheets, stamping out cans that are then filled. Why have the making machine pallet them just to un-pallet them and fill them?
I have no idea how it is actually done. I think this is how they do it with plastic bottles but what do I know.
Cans are manufactured predominantly by a company called Ball but there are other can manufacturers across the country. They are manufactured and printed by ball and then sent to the respective consumer who fills them with product such as soda or beer.
Products canned in the state of Hawaii have a slightly different style of can because the machine that is on the island is older, and makes them that way. Very very mildly interesting.
Yes! Which is a nifty little info tidbit
I used to fix air compressors(still do) at a now closed Ball plant. That is exactly how it was done, tipped pallets not uncommon, although not usually towers from what I've seen. That entire factory floor(including machines etc) had a light coat of oil at all times. Not sure what part of the process sent so much oil into the air but it was really a hassle at times.
I'm impressed they managed to stack them in the first place without any wrapping
They're banded. As long as there's downward tension, they're stable. Cut the bands and you have the worst game of 52 pickup.
I am sure that was a total surprise to all involved. /s
Won't somebody think of the tallboys
They did. The mathematicians calculated this as a mathematical impossibility. But yet somehow, someway it still happened.
Jenga!
I worked summer jobs in a canning plant, and we would have to dig out a forklift about once a month. Piles of cans above the front wheels and a pile on top of the rops roof. Fortunately, it was just a single 4 pallet stack, not half the warehouse.
Kinda seems like something that could be avoided with the proper use of racking…
Or not stacking so high.
I think this is the result of a previous mess and clean up that left these high stacks standing but they realized during the clean up they weren't entirely stable and tried to move them out.
Not true. Nostracanus predicted it like 1553
Something tells me he really doesn't want to stack them that high but made to do it by those in charge.
If only rolls of plastic wrap didn't cost millions of dollars catastrophies like this could be avoided
Plastic wrap tension could dent the fragile empty aluminum cans so they probably wanted to avoid that option. But yeah, it’s stupid way they handled it I know..

Maybe 11… (at least)
I have seen this video no less than 75 times in the past few days lol
Nevar forget
I predict he’s going to get canned for his negligence. Just sayin. ;)
The real negligence was the biz owner not chipping in for racks
Absolutely, and where were the inspections. How can an employer not be aware of the inherent danger? Rhetorical. I know some people just cannot see things.
Giving some of these replies this seems common when it comes to cans…
I actually thought this was 9/11 at first
You do realize that those are empty cans. Well except air.
Filled with sailboat fuel
Explosive under pressure
That just makes me wonder even more wtf anyone would steal them like this. If someone farts they're gunna come crashing down.
I want to know what this sounds like
That was much crazier and exciting than anticipated. Thank you for that can video
There’s got to be a better way to stack those.
Yeah, it’s called racking.
I saw this recently with sound, OP why you strip the sound off?
5th in 3 weeks
Manager probably got a promotion and pay raise.
9/11, never forget
Who piles up this high, and without wrapping the skids?????
Worked in a can plant for 10 years. This is more common than you might think. The pallet here, a pallet there...clean it up is with large fishing nets
The subtitle should have been "Canastrophe."
Was that World Trade Center Building 7 on the left?
Didn’t we see this happen in NYC in 2001?
Never Forget.
Never Forget ❤️
Has any group claimed responsibility yet?
Never Forget
Someones not forklift certified.
and the company in question is actually using this as promotional footage in their targeted ads for some fucking reason lol
Everyone says Bush did 911. But we have proof otherwise. It was forklift.
Was George W. Bush driving the forklift?
Pallets of empty aluminum cans. I've seen those in a Coke plant. The cans are just loose on a pallet with sheets separating them. It's insane that they even stay together. When you walk by them, you can bump into the cans and they will flip out. A very sketchy situation. Stacking them three high is nuts, but four high? Not a good idea at all.
CANtastrophe
I’m literally getting my fork certification this week, just passed my theory exam today and have the practical tomorrow. This is great inspo 😍
The small joys in life we live for.
why not wrap them before putting them that high? bottom barrel warehouses do that shit..
Everyone there is getting canned.
This bears an unfortunately uncanny resemblance to 9/11
Cantastrophe
What are those? What kind of punishment do workers get for this? Do you pay for destroyed stock.
empty soda cans
i cant imagine theres some exemption for empty cans that would let you pick up that many pallets at once, surely youre intended to use a high reach forklift and take from the top one at a time
so there could be no punishment for workers if theyre being told to do something against safety regulations
How can you tell if they’re empty? I’d imagine empty ones would bounce a lot higher and more often when they hit the concrete floor, but these ones seem to either bounce once or not at all.
If they were full they’d be bouncing around and exploding.
When they’re full, they’re under pressure so they bounce. Think of a basketball that’s fully inflated vs partially inflated.
What are the chances you think of that many full soda cans falling from that height and joke of them exploding?
That’s how cans come in - on pallets. Those are printed cans so a bit more expensive than brites (plain aluminum cans which have to be labeled).
what a cantastrophe
- Cantastrophy
Thankyou I'll show myself out
This is CGI
The way that is stacked is asking for troops
Trouble
Ooof that's an expensive mistake.
Are you Fkn kidding me? Did you see how much shit was laying on the floor before the melt down?
Worked at a can plant, this happens frequently. They can recycle all that and those machines will run that back in a couple hours.
That's a common occurrence? O_o
I feel like this happens there from time to time Lol
Jesus Christ get some fucking racks
Me when i walk into museums with fine sculptures and ceramics
Is this fuckin Bangladesh? Who tf has a warehouse with no scaffolding, shelving, literally anything…
Forklifts cannot melt steal beams.
Looks fake.
Everything is fake, the world is a simulation
Dude, why did you stop rolling?
*Cantastrophe
Why is he recording and not helping? \s
What CAN you do?
Crown Cork opened a new can factory nearby last year. I can't help but wonder if this happened there.
Not yet.
Back it up Terry!!!!
I feel like these guys were just bored at there job and did this out of boredom
Why not wrapped?
I'm going to need 2 frats and 50 fifths of Jager to clean up all this red bull!
This was likely an accident that left a skid semi tipped over, and this guy was trying to correct it and stop the spread when it fell. I’ve seen it happen with other items during my lift driving time.
Job opening!!!
Boy, it feels like it *might* have been a whole day since this was last posted here.
Unless they ever played or even heard of dominos
Everyone runni g so they don't get blamed Lmao
Back it up Terry
I don't know if this is just laziness or a lack of common sense.
Based on all the stacks being that high, likely the warehouse cramming as much as possible into that space without spending more on expansion or relocation.
Thats how cans are stacked in warehouses, 4 pallets high. Just under 400 cans a layer, usually 21 layers for 12oz cans and 16 layers for 16oz cans. Can't remember how many cans per layer of 12oz sleek cans (roughly same height at 16oz can but same foot print of an 8oz can) but I think it's around 500.
Sometimes I think that the price for things aren't high because of inflation, but because this type of thing happens more often then we see
I used to work for a company that made glass bottles and jars... I've seen many warehouse spills but with bottles..
Anyone who's played Jenga could have predicted this.
Can-tastrophe
Had a buddy who did this at a beer plant, was still buzzed from the night before. He walked out and never came back.
No one could have seen this coming, except anyone who has ever stacked more than like three cans on top of each other with no cardboard between. Higher than that and they WILL topple.
Self-driving dominoes delivery arrives, you wanna fork?
No, no just relax, don't worry about that evolution thing anymore, it was just a scary dream.
Cue that Dominoes scene from Robots 😅
They don’t give those warehouse jobs to chimps!
Cantastrophe
Cantastrophe.
A Catastrophe?? I don’t see a single one!
Couple plastic shovels and a bucket on a 988 be done in no time.
Looks pre planned to me.. boys having fun at the last days of the wharehouse and the last of expired product... Like a crazy game of Forklift Jenga or something filmed for clicks.. half funny though
What kind of stupid fucking storage method is this and do they have no idea about center of gravity??!!? Of course this is going to happen, a disaster in the making wtf.
Did it on purpose
It's beautiful in a somewhat destructive way
Nah my reddit feed is too fucked up i though this was a 9/11 reference
I can hear the front-line manager running around, offering overtime already
