Humpty Dumpty, noooooo!
Parking Lot Retaining Wall Fails Spectacularly

NOTE: Volume on.

This is a video of a retaining wall that was protecting a parking lot giving up the ghost and letting nature reclaim the asphalt, along with several vehicles. I hope they had Farmers Insurance! (They’ve seen a thing or two) One brave motorist even risks it all to remove their car from the area before the dirt hits the fan. Why did the wall fail? Based on all the moisture leaking through the blocks, my guess is improper drainage and the buildup of water pressure behind the wall. Or, who knows, maybe it failed for the same reason I always do. “It didn’t apply itself.” Or maybe it didn’t have a decent support system! Also, I like how all the car alarms go off at the end. Nobody is trying to steal those cars! Not anymore, anyways.

Thanks again to my dad, who agrees this is why you always park as far away from any other cars or structures as you can.
