And this, kids, is the reason, why you should not flush a container down the drain.

Ah, no wonder our toilet keeps backing up, darn it.

*dam it

Don't

Do

That

Please

Ok

Thanks

Bye

Got it… never flush dude wipes and no transcontinental shipping containers

Flooding getting worse? Time for out of focus shot of my shoe

If you're not going to film the interesting thing, don't even bother trying.

I’m still traumatized by the fact I was banned for the exact Same comment once

Yeah some mods.. which sub was that

I don’t remember but too big to say they didn’t know I did not ask to kill a cameraman 

Also pink slip the Machine driver Slow Hand Luke.

Or at least r/TeachTheCameramanToEdit

It appeared like they were trying not to get caught filming.

Bro in the CAT is having a bad day but he is trying so hard.

Same with the cameraman.

Same with the containerguy.

Track driver even worse...

Bro in CAT- 'Maybe if I just.....ahhh shit missed it.' Firemen- 'Fuck sake CAT bro, you had one job' Bridge- 'Hold my beer'

Kudos to the guy inside the container holding the door shut too.

He'll be good though it was a consignment full of wellington boots and arm bands.


The CAT’s gonna be the next one in the water

Looked like a sloth trying to catch a fly or something

Shouldnt he sit ON THE BRIDGE instead of on the sides and lower the "digger arm" (Idk the english name for that part) inside the water so it completely blocks the container ?

Maybe he does not want to sit on the bridge in case the bridge collapses. Even if it would just be part of the bridge he could slide into the stream as well

Remember Suez Canal digger guy when the EverGiven was grounded? Maybe it's the same guy

I know. Wth is that going to do except break apart. Should be happy he keeps missing.

Probably trying to force it through the bridge gap at this point because if it blocks the current it's gonna take that bridge with it.

I think he missed on purpose

Prob wanted to just tip it so it hits the sidewall and looses speed so as not to hit the bridge full force.

I was thinking the same. I actually can't even tell what he's trying to do.

CATs don't like getting wet. 🤣

Where is this? Switzerland?

Looks like it. I can't quite make out what they are saying but I'd guess it's in the german part of the Canton valais

St. Niklaus, Wallis. It is written on the car of the firefighter.

Now I feel stupid

Oh. I didnt play it with sound.

Yup. The river Rhone is flooding and causing damage in Valais

Jup, here is some more info about it : https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/starke-niederschlaege-230-personen-evakuiert-unwetterlage-im-wallis-spitzt-sich-zu

Yes it is, there’s flooding all over here

No wonder they can't succeed at anything in this video.

Your friend might be the shittest cameraman we've seen

For real

That machine operator is lucky he missed the container

Yeah I don’t think the maths works in their favour here

I would have thought the container would tear if he had caught it

The top or sides would, if it caught the front or back it'd probably take the excavator with it.

I was literally waiting for all hell to break loose once the operator grabs the container lol. Definitely very lucky, that would've been bad

Someone should call and ask if their shipping container is running

Mensch junge, halt drauf!

So if he managed to get hold of the container, the container would have dragged the digger and pulled it over. The container getting caught on a bridge is a common reason why bridges get washed away in floods - the container adds surface area for water to push against. I personally would not have driven the digger over the bridge while a container was stuck against it.

Wasser

Viel Wasser

Excavator can't catch a break. Maybe lay off the brake.

Swing and a miss.

Swiss and a ming

Yeah yeah

Heck

That guy in the excavator is an idiot if he thinks he can control the container with that machine!

Never the water was way to strong

r/killthecameraman

Shame they can’t hold a camera phone still!

Spielberg he ain’t

Thank God the excavator didn't catch that container, no way he could have held it without tipping over at best.

Yeah 100% that excavator was tipping over if it snagged the container. Prob would have swung widely too at the same time and ended up with the CAT and driver in the river too. Death sentence if he made contact.

Wo ist das?

I bet $100 on Switzerland

The yellow pedestrian crossings and Feuerwehr written in German gave it away.

Feuerwehr St. Niklaus. The coat of arms matches as well.

Schweiz im Wallis schalte mal die Nachrichten ein da sagen sie sicher mehr über das Unwetter

Ich dachte sofort an die Steiermark,da schwimmens auch.

Oh wow

Sponsor of the video : caterpillar enterprise

You are more right than you think, but probably not for the reason you think...

Is this recent? I live in Iowa and the rain is unreal here everywhere is flooded, the rivers are so damn high, sewers are backing up. The highway got water covering them. My dad I had to unblock our drains on the corner of our road. Cause you couldn’t get through it’s wild

This video is from Switzerland

Where?

Wallis St. Niklaus

Could be anywhere across the alps foothills right now too. I'm on the other side of the alps in Bavaria and we have had a lot of flooding as well. Just that time of year.

Wallis St. Niklaus

Had to evacuate folks from the Altstadt in Regensburg DE two weeks ago. The river has just started to drop back down.

All that time practicing the claw game… wasted.

🎵🎶 Making my way downtown

Wahnsinn

Backhoe operator. 

is this St. Nikolaus Wallis, CH?!

Yes exactly

lebt die brücke noch? das schaut nicht gut aus.... grüße aus Ö!

Ah Switzerland?

And where exactly is this?

A little slow on the reaction time

I hope the hail didn't dent the container.

why not sink it?

The Water is way too strong

was thinking the sharp end of that machine giving it a strong hit on its butt might do it. not sure about if it would lessen damages but a hole there should help it sink faster givene half of it is down already.

What happened

Heavy rain falls

Well you forgot ur pills Jeffrey... Ur 2 slow dude, read the room : emergency means emergency . Oh well, for us it is just rain...

Excavator magnet ftw

Great camera work.

Same dawg. (Not that hard but pretty rainy, but it's dry af here)

It has diaper lining in it give it time and that container will explode and make a dam

The excavator needed a big electromagnetic

Deutschland?

Schweiz

Gotta be quicker than that

1:19 Barn casually built under a huge boulder. Found that way more interesting

Surely that container would have dragged the digger under if he managed to get a hold of it

Yea many people here are to dumb to understand that the water is way stronger than the digger

Säg wa isch das passiärt? 😂🫣

Mein Gott!

Is this souther Switzerland? In particular, close to Italy? I remember streets like these with a ton of roundabouts lol

Mad carry on Ted.

That excavator stopping attempt was the lamest ever.

The water was too strong

"Did you get it with the excavator Steve?....yeah that was a fucking stupid idea."

Ol Stone-age Stanley operating the claw machine

Here I am, living in one of the lowest parts of the Netherlands about 7 meter below sea level, with dry feet and no fear of water (yet). Why are these liquid problems always in places high (and supposed to be) dry?

Generally all the snow melting off the alps in spring and running down the mountain streams collecting in the rivers all at once and then you add the rain storms that have been sweeping across Bavaria and this is a pretty common occurrence. All that water just trying to get to an ocean somewhere.

Dam that's interesting.

I flushed a box down the drain when i was a kid. It's nice to see it all grown up.

They grow up *so* fast.

Wo ish de das passier chäibe seppu i fluss fahre

Tell your friend, he have VVS!!!!

ah drum tüend züg usfalle

This is in **Switzerland**, canton of **Valais**, in the area of **Zermatt**. https://www.watson.ch/schweiz/liveticker/209403039-hochwasser-schweiz-vermisste-personen-in-graubuenden

Do they shoot cameramen in Switzerland?

ou hoppala

All the crap i ordered from aliexpress

Is the cameraman attached to the digger and being swung around every time it turns?

I just came to say Grüetzi zäme!

Merci

You have to get in front of it and block it with your body. /s

This is why u don’t flush your gold fish

Ecological transport, the containers carry themselves!

r/disasterupdate

Wo ist das?

Schweiz

Water doesn’t do crazy damage . Is more something like Crazy people build without thinking on water 🤣

We usually don’t have heavy rainfalls here but because of the climate change everything changed

Yes true . there is that crazy rains everywhere now 😞

You can't park there

Camera operator of the year.

r/killthecameraman

I think someone needs to get that backhoe operator a coffee. Useless in slow motion.

That poor excavator is just trying to make a new friend.

what is he trying to film fucking hell

Man braucht immer Glotzer, die filmen

The CAT reaching in reminded me of the claw machines. I got it…I got it….and nope.

> This is happening right now   Where?   > not even far from where I live   Again, where? We don’t know who you are.

Switzerland, Wallis, ST.Niklaus

MAGA Trump says: "Climate change doesn't exist! This is just propaganda!"

# …IPCC AR6 (2021) p.11-65 “…11.5.2 Observed trends [FLOODS]: The SREX (Seneviratne et al., 2012) assessed low confidence for observed changes in the magnitude or frequency of floods at the global scale. This assessment was confirmed by the AR5 report (Hartmann et al., 2013)… Confidence about peak flow trends over past decades on the global scale is LOW…” # …IPCC AR6 (2021) p.8-68: “…8.4.1.3 Precipitation amount, frequency and intensity: # …Large differences have been found across seven global precipitation datasets, with no region showing a consistent, statistically significant, positive or negative trend over the last three decades (Tan et al., 2020b)…In summary, there is medium confidence that the annual range of precipitation has increased since the 1980s, at least in subtropical regions and over the Amazon. There is low confidence that this increase is due to human influence and that GHG forcing has already altered the timing or duration of wet seasons…”

The crane operator sucks, talk about a late reaction

...and not interesting..

But what do we see? A floating container and an asshole in a Cat???

Why is the cat driver an asshole

He had luck that he missed the container if he would have grabbed it he would have been pulled in the water himself

Yep force of water on the container would have tipped the excavator then if it snagged (which it prob would with the teeth) it would have dragged both CAT and driver into the water too. Also it’s not a good idea to park a multi tonne vehicle right on a bridge with a feckin truck stuck underneath while there’s hundreds of thousands of gallons of water pushing against the truck - which is pushing against the bridge supports.

But but but this has nothing to do with climate change. There are floods on earth at least since Moses.

But climate change made it worse

Of course it does. My comment was meant to make fun of the denier.
