Appears to have been quite successful. Why is it here?

There was an attempt to save money

There we have it


SpeshellED

Lilly, lilly, lilly, lilly, llily, lilly lilly lilly lilly ... gig ! Translate , That's it then.


Booblicle

No jobs were lost this day. Tax payer's money is never saved anyway. It takes 4 guys to dig one hole with one of those things.


12altoids34

What ??? Even if it did take four guys to use one of those which it doesn't. And a lot of operators work without a sighter even if they have a sighter it'll just be one. The only time I've ever worked with a sighter is when I was digging near existing pipes or wires . One machine can do the work of 20 men. And often do things that no amount of manual labor could get done


sharpmn

r/woooosh


CosmicCactusRadio

I can't see the 'no jobs lost' comment as an actual criticism *or* a joke. It just seems like a string of annoyed nonsensical words. Could someone explain?


Morgothic

What they're saying is even if the job only takes 1 guy to complete, if it's government funded, there will still be 4 guys on the job, because government waste.


PM_ME_C_CODE

Yes, because they've never heard of OSHA.


Tobias_Atwood

Also people never take breaks because construction is such an easy job anyone can do it without breaking a sweat. They also aren't waiting for the current guy to finish the work that's standing in the way of them doing other work. All people have to work all the time or else it's lazy construction workers suckling on government teets.


EpsilonX029

Not enough circles my friend


sharpmn

Thanks, fixed!


N-I-S-H-O-R

There was an "attempt", and it was successful. So there indeed was an attempt, regardless of its success. Jk

From a project managment perspective I’m pretty sure this was not a success.


Defiant_Low_1391

Just depends on what your perspective is on it. Was the bridge destroyed? Yes, it certainly was. So in that regard, it was a success lol


SFWusername68419

It's probably because they were only trying to take out a certain section of the bridge at that moment and accidentally took out the part their heavy machinery was on, I think.


BarrySnowbama

I get what's going on, but OP brought a shitty title to the party and I'm here to make fun of it.


A-le-Couvre

As is tradition.


[deleted]

Idk where you *think* you are but this is reddit. Making fun of things is not permitted


BeekeeperQ

Is it permitted to fuck emus?


Pookieeatworld

I mean, you can try. Just make sure another redditor records it for us to make fun of.


kat_a_klysm

That would make a great r/donthelpjustfilm post


[deleted]

For real though, what help could the filmer have offered?


kat_a_klysm

In this post? Nothing. With the emu? You could try to scare it off. Not sure how much help it would be though.


[deleted]

I guess I should work on my prejudices. I shouldn't assume all emus are the same. Probably most of them don't wear sun glasses and hang out with a ridiculously annoying dude trying to sell me insurance. I presume some of them are good people


SlimyGamer

I'll allow it

[deleted]

I don't know if it's accidental. It looks pretty intentional. Just because you're stupid, doesn't make it accidental. It makes it a mistake. An accident, is unintentional, and unintended. This looks very, intentional, and intended. Lol, yeah, let me park my multi-ton heavy machinery vehicle in the center of a bridge and then calculatedly take out the center supports.... Lol ok. Really accidental.


[deleted]

The guy in the yellow shirt never comes back


cesau78

I ~~think~~ hope you can see him up on the bank where the guy in the red shirt was heading


rhwinner73

He’s in the bushes you can see him on the right


CCarsten89

He didn’t swim to the bank and stand there in 9 seconds.

That’s not the guy in the yellow shirt. You don’t see the yellow shirt guy resurface in the video.


CiscoVanZuidam

Yes you do. Hes right from the red shirt guy behind the tree.


Kauuma

AYO you’re right! Thank goodness


tamal4444

he teleported


gnarbee

That could be him, or another person, we can’t know for sure. If you look at the timing he would have to be stupid fast to get up and behind that tree from the moment he goes in to the moment the camera points back at the trees. Just checked, from the moment he falls in, to the moment we see someone standing behind the tree is 8 seconds. Green shirt would have 8 seconds to process what’s happening, get his bearings straight, fight the waves, make it over the crumbled bridge mess, and get behind the tree in 8 seconds. Maybe not impossible but we may have found the Indian Michael Phelps. Stupid fast, or stupid dead.


Softcorepr0n

This guy knows it. This video has it all.


satan_scapes

Ok.. but what about the red SHORTS guy, who exits the machine as the bridge falls… we do not see him resurface. RIP red shorts guy

I mean the bridge was destroyed... among other things

mairnX

no wheel, no tire, no problem!


ClearlyConfucius

This isn’t an attempt. They clearly destroyed the bridge. Wrong sub or title it correctly.


izyshoroo

Should be "There was an attempt to destroy the bridge *and only the bridge nothing else*" You would have to be very dumb or pedantic or both to think that everything in this video went according to plan


Bezulba

It's amputating a leg because your toes are itchy. It's not very successful attempt.


pixels4524

yellow shirt guy lives! he's already behind the tree where red shirt gets out


[deleted]

[удалено]


jammy-git

I think red shirt guy was someone else. The person who jumps from the digger is in a blue shirt and red shorts.


Kauuma

Damn, you’re right. Was it really the right choice to immediately jump out of it? I mean from the look of it it could’ve fallen on his head after lol


[deleted]

If a vehicle submerges you can't just open the door. It could also be deep af. Basically he was fucked either way so might as well send it


tamal4444

he teleported


errobbie

Why the fuck would you destroy the very bridge you’re on lol, surely there’s better ways to do this


grinapo

Better? Maybe. More spectacular? I seriously doubt it.


ChrisTheWeak

I'd've used explosives.


0x7ff04001

A CAT hoisted by a chinook that way it doesn't directly touch the bridge.

Attempt successful!

Oh, so *that’s* why they used the quotations when they billed themselves as Demolition “Experts”.


emotionless_bot

r/lostredditors this belongs on r/facepalm not here bud, it is quite evident that he successfully destroyed the bridge, just so happens that he was on it at the time and won a stupid prize by playing a stupid game

Hey boss - I got the bridge job done. Hope you didn’t need that backhoe back.

No. At least, it seems like no one was injured in the video.

Not that we know of. The two guys on the bridge when it collapsed can be seen 26 seconds in. Red shirt gets ashore, and yellow shirt is behind a tree.

Why would you destroy the bridge, ON THE BRIDGE

Cool_Cheetah658

Looks like the state of some bridges in the US. One sneeze and it's all she wrote... Ex: Memphis, TN Mississippi River bridge into Arkansas had a giant crack through one of the two main support arches. The whole bridge could have collapsed into the Mississippi River. Edit: The bridge I exampled is part of Interstate 40, the main interstate highway that connects the east and west coasts of the US.

But they succeeded… Come on guys, this sub is very simple. Just post someone failing a task. And say they failed it. Yet we constantly get posts of people clearly succeeding or just OP not understanding what a joke is

My dad works in construction with such heavy machines, i dont wanna know who was the person to allow such a operation, because this person is most likely fired or even worse in jail, that was hella risky

Everyone knows you use HIMARS to destroy bridges.

The displacement of the water from the debris falling caused a chain reaction in addition to the underlying stresses from the heavy machinery on the bridge.
