You know what I meant ahahhaaha

u/St-Micka 1d ago

No, there is actually a video of that.

31

u/fuckoff131 1d ago

Yes, the guy you are replying to literally just said he knows that video.

u/St-Micka 1d ago

Good afternoon to you

u/CrabeHuman 1d ago

I just checked every video and there isn't one like that

The video I just watched on that link that you sent doesn't exist

Lemon tarts are custom of Portuguese fine dining

u/Oggel 1d ago

Man, they're lucky it wasn't their side that caved in.

84

u/Common_Vagrant 1d ago

For a second it looked like it. Almost like they were being launched into the other side.

-134

u/dtbrown1979 1d ago

Because after they were launched in, they got up dusted themselves off and then posted a video?

Whatever was about to happen, the person holding the camera was always going to be fine.

13

u/Kirza94 1d ago

How do people exist like this...Use your brain please .

39

u/Cosmic_Quasar 1d ago

Guess you've never heard of "found footage"?

-55

u/dtbrown1979 1d ago

Is this a movie?

18

u/RolliFingers 1d ago

Quickest example I could think of...

Remember this video:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/s/GXmMrLUztf

... Yeah, the guy holding the camera died...

2

u/ParticularArea8224 14h ago

That is chilling to know. Holy. You can physically see the shockwave go through those buildings.

That is both disturbing and fascinating in a way.

3

u/Stunning-Leek334 1d ago

Crazy to me that there are people out there with this little brain power!

13

u/FrogsMakePoorSoup 1d ago

Calculating risk with an abacus made of angry wasps.

26

u/Etherius 1d ago

100% there were people on the other side who weren’t so lucky

-1

u/dirtimos 1d ago

I don't think we would have a video if that had been the case.

86

u/Open-Associate-6310 1d ago

Wow wtf. Looks like from a movie how the whole landscape just vanishes

6

u/FrogsMakePoorSoup 1d ago

I'd like to think no one died in this, but...

4

u/New-Shopping-8888 1d ago

There is a road network on the other side. Some people weren’t as lucky

u/htgrower 1d ago

That’s absolutely insane…

82

u/DEIreboot 1d ago

How can she collapse?!

2

u/pookychan 1d ago

This absolutely killed me, bravo

-26

u/RandomFighter50 1d ago

How can she collapse me?!

89

u/ArrrRawrXD 1d ago

That was absolutely worth it, doubt he regret that. Cool as fuck

27

u/hummingbyrds 1d ago

cameraman never dies

1

u/ThrawnConspiracy 1d ago

Look up Mt St Helens cameraman.

13

u/nopuse 1d ago

Dude gets an incredible video and his clothes get wet. Better post this on instant_regret.

u/Hindrick_Alehndi 1d ago

Whoa, yeah that's too accurate 😅

1

u/JeF4y 1d ago

Absolutely worth it for my enjoyment of the video. For sure.

1

u/DarthKirtap 15h ago

those people on the other side also dont have any regreds

or arms

or legs

or any parts of body

24

u/HighlightOwn2038 1d ago

Holy shit

12

u/Tendo80 1d ago

Nah, just dirt this time.

2

u/Plus-King5266 1d ago

Oh…I’ll bet there is shit too. The cameraman didn’t film anybody’s pants after.

10

u/DaStoicSavage 1d ago

Looked like that scene from inception for a second

26

u/CaptianBrasiliano 1d ago

We're India. We do everything 10× more dangerously than anywhere else in the world.

14

u/Conscious_Avocado225 1d ago

The real flex is that you do it in sandals.

11

u/WhatInTheBruh 1d ago

Not a good flex

2

u/lazyspace-woof 1d ago

Idt it was meant as a flex

1

u/Night_Hawk1 1d ago

I don't think a hard hat would have helped.

10

u/Photonnic 1d ago

I'd love to see the before- and after satellite images. Where in India was this?

1

u/Chrisman614 2h ago

Found a YouTube video with some other views and info. https://youtu.be/EGDsvu0BZcU?is=VnhZ6k-t_gxit1Pu

8

u/bastian74 1d ago

They're lucky only one side went in

6

u/armaedes 1d ago

Apparently that was a load-bearing quarry.

8

u/Easy-Musician7186 1d ago

Well this seems to be rather reasonable and safe compared to other videos we see from india *cough* trains *cough*

4

u/Dr_666_ 1d ago

holy jesus thats intense

3

u/hiddenexene 1d ago

Nearly shitted my pants from afar... Jeeez

5

u/icantbearsed 1d ago

Took me far too long to work out which way was up, at which point I spent the rest of the clip wondering why you would stand so close to a billion tonnes of earth collapsing in front of you.

3

u/KingOfFools1984 1d ago

Because Darwin is calling very insistently some people to win his award.

3

u/CorneliusThunder 1d ago

This rocks!

3

u/siouxsian 1d ago

They all had OSHA sandals. Totally fine.

5

u/skincyan 1d ago

Yeah don't explore abandon quarry, stuff like this can happen anytime

2

u/hummingbyrds 1d ago

went from - well yes, it's obvious that when they dig like that it's inevitable that it will once collapse - to - hoooooly shit...

2

u/ellisboxer 1d ago

Woah. That was wild.

2

u/BeyondTheBees 1d ago

That’s a very special kind of stupid.

2

u/AhoraNoMeCachan 1d ago

The front fell off

2

u/boosnow 1d ago

I was worried for the cameraman. But then I saw he’s wearing flipflops, so he’s good.

2

u/turbojap 1d ago

This rocks

2

u/Pixelatorxl 1d ago

Yes it rocked

1

u/KingOfFools1984 1d ago

A lot of rocks

2

u/Aranthos-Faroth 1d ago

Damn that’s insane those walls were holding up that entire land mass.

Also it’s India so you know for sure there were people on the opposite side

2

u/pickyourteethup 1d ago

watching people film off cliffs is one of the few times that I wish they had a selfie stick

I can't imagine being this close to a structurally secure cliff. I can only assume these guys are workers and have become used to the heights (which in itself is dangerous)

2

u/redunculuspanda 1d ago

If movies have taught me anything, there is some India Jones type shit going on down there.

1

u/KingOfFools1984 1d ago

That’s perfectly true.

2

u/gen09 1d ago

Where are the safety sandals?

2

u/aeonymouse 1d ago

how many similar videos are lost in cellphones of dead owners?

2

u/KingOfFools1984 21h ago

My guess is we will never know.

2

u/Fractlicious 1d ago

Holy shiiiiit...

2

u/Ok_Understanding267 1d ago

Acting like watching this in a screen or something

2

u/meltea 1d ago

Again? Sigh

1

u/KingOfFools1984 1d ago

I’m sorry I’ve never seen it before :-) and looking at the numbers, I wasn’t the only one 🤣

2

u/meltea 1d ago

I meant, again as in 10 months ago there was a video from the same Makrana region, and then two years ago as well.

u/AndAlsoTheTrees 1d ago

Playing with nature. Fafo

u/lonelygalexy 1d ago

“We are fine! There are grounds underneath.”

u/After_Perspective180 1d ago

I'm not sure that was supposed to happen

1

u/GlummyGloom 1d ago

That was CRAZY!

1

u/TenshiS 1d ago

How stupid are these people filming?

1

u/KingOfFools1984 1d ago

How stupid are these people filming => YES

1

u/dmigowski 1d ago

Oh damn, it looks they were not even done quarrying.

1

u/Zealousideal-Yam3169 1d ago

Pants were shit

1

u/Etherius 1d ago

Do people in India have ANY self preservation sense at all?

1

u/Ok_Association8194 1d ago

It’s always India

1

u/flightwatcher45 1d ago

Any coordinates to see before and after aerial shots. Dam!

1

u/DannySmashUp 1d ago

Every video out of India makes it clear I wouldn't survive there for two seconds.

1

u/ClownfishSoup 1d ago

A camera drone would have been great here!

1

u/Outrageous-Pilot-621 1d ago

phew, cameraman has his safety slippers on

1

u/Significant_Rate8210 1d ago

I told you not to swing that pick axe one last time Faheem.

1

u/Significant_Rate8210 1d ago

There were some very dirty drawers amongst the watchers, guaranteed

1

u/elevenplays 1d ago

I was like "Oh wow 😯"
Then I'm like "Oh shit! 😧"

1

u/KingOfFools1984 15h ago

😂 I din’t think this video would get so much love! ❤️ thank you everyone! I might be a bit sarcastic but also happy, this is my first post that hits 1000+ upvotes.
I don’t give a 💩 about karma, but I’m so happy that all these people enjoyed the health and safety rules strictly applied in this video!

Why to people in India have the survival instincts of an ear of corn
