Is that seriously a third generation copy?
The original got motion-stabilized, put on the Daily Mail site and then somebody filmed it off their screen.
When you can just watch the original here:

So it doesnt fall on a house or whatever is below.

He braces himself so I think he knew what was coming, or maybe hes trying to undo the thing holding the cutting up. Its hard to tell with the zoom out.

Seems like the smart thing to do would've been to go up a bit higher, tie and cut the branches off individually, so there isn't quite so much mass falling at once.

Someone already did the "smart thing" and hired someone else to do it.

I just noticed the new warehouse door opens inward. I already read up on the relevant building safety regulations so that the minute they slap a sign on it to make it a designated emergency exit (and they will) I can make a corporate HSEQ report referring to specific paragraphs in it (it's also too narrow).

Its a valve handle. He's closing some giant rear end pipe, with what is probably hilarious effects

Based on the color and some of the fittings visible... My guess is high pressure gas line. Of course since it's in a strange land where that creature lives, they may use completely different colors for things so who knows.

I was also being a little dramatic. Those sorts of valve actuators have such huge mechanical advantages in the gearbox you're going to be spinning that thing for a while to make a serious change to flow resistance.

I assume some guy monitoring the line started seeing it behave funky, scratched his head, asked a tech to go check out the line. Then the tech gets there and says you ain't going to believe this, and catches a video while cracking up.

Over at the PYF unnerving article or story thread, Axeman Jim decided to share a tale of utter incompetency of British Railways that caused numerous train cars to become crushed like tin cans and their passengers pulped over the years. I figured they might be of interest to some posters of this thread. Stories start with this post.

Here are the posts in isolation:

Lipstick Apathy
Five men have been crushed to death by a collapsing wall at a metal recycling plant in Birmingham, England.

The wall was made of concrete blocks, each weighing 1.5 tonnes. Scrap metal then spilled on top of that. The men were killed instantly; a sixth luckier man is being treated in hospital for a broken leg.

In a surprise to absolutely no-one, it turns out that this is the third incident at the plant in four years: 700 tonnes of scrap metal caught fire earlier this year, which at its peak required eight fire engines on scene, and in 2012 the company was fined after a worker's arm became entangled in an unguarded conveyor belt.

Corporate Manslaughter legislation was toughened up a few years ago. If there was ever a case where senior management deserved prison time, it's this one.

If regulations were actually enforced and fines/punishments severe enough to change behavior it would be regulations run amok destroying our economy. Take your "basic safety regulations" back to Brussels!

Based on what I know about Birmingham from watching Peaky Blinders, this is not surprising.
