Hell thats nothing...I worked in a beer warehouse for over 4 years. This is a monthly basis where someone drops a pallet, whether it be cans or bottles. Worst I have ever seen is 21 pallets of Natural Lt 16oz cans fall, our receiving guy didnt stack a whole row correctly, he placed one of the last rows in, then it just fell like dominoes... Lets crunch the math,

21 pallets
63 cases per pallet
24 cans per case
That comes out to a whopping...
31752, give or take a hundred or so that actually didnt fall off the bottom of the pallets.

Roughly 1/2 was unusable for repackaging.

Needless to say it ended up being a company write off.
Plus we were finding cans under other stock rows for almost a year after it happened, lol.




Video also apears to be much less than 2000....the pallet that fell was stacked 11 layers high, the weight of the bottles simply destroyed the bottom layers, dooming the pallet... standard beverage ties are either a 10 tie system, 8, or 7, max I have seen is 12 per layer.. Either way, I hope they had at least a shop vac, lol.
