It looks like the forklift driver saw the collapse in progress and accelerated in time. Whereas dumbnuts who caused it got buried ;)

Heh, I noticed that too.  Might be a compression artifact.

Looked like exhaust gasses. You can see it when he starts the forklift, and when he punches the gas to start the avalanche.

Yeah, after watching it again, the whole forklift shudders a bit like he just started it up.

I saw this a few days ago.  This'll be classic for ages.

I also noticed the driver on the right boogied his way out of there before it toppled on him.  The other guy was at least smart enough to remain in the safety cage...of course, he really didn't have time to remove his belt and get off...

It looks like he's trying to get it moving forward again, but that it's stuck.

I also noticed the one who gets out of the way...I think he initially got caught up in watching the carnage, then realizes right before the boxes hit him that he needs to get motoring.  So what do you think he was thinking?  He immediately turned around to find out what that loud noise was, then must've seen that top shelf tipping.  Think a few expletives flew?

Interesting watching the boxes from the top shelf take out the legs of the adjacent shelf system.

Thank God for security cameras! ;D

Where is this place? Is it a Tiger Direct warehouse and those are boxed computer parts?
If so, that explains a lot.

Looks like a standard day at a USPS sorting facility to me.  I think I even recognize a couple of the packages they have delivered for me over the past couple of months.

That "guy's" head? Please tell me you know who captain Picard is?! If you are on this forum, you must be a nerd, and all nerds have to know everything about StarTrek. It's the LAW! As per why Patrick Stewart's head is so oddly shaped, it is because he is really an alien-human hybrid, most likely the type of alien in the movie "alien". I mean, what else other than an alien could play a french guy and think it would make perfect sense to use a british accent...   :dunno

Easy, Trekkie.  That's a joke.  I know who that dude is... mostly because people on forums yelled at me when I didn't.   :lol

And just because I came across this a few minutes ago and it needs posting:
