Damn, where's the closeup HD timeshift when you need it?

Also known as 4 448 221.6N for anyone who's actually a scientist. Sounds way cooler than a million pounds of force too!

I've got a good idea, let's crush a large piece of concrete with a million lbs of force AND let's have a bunch of people within 20 yards of it and even let a cameraman get within 20 feet.

What could go wrong?

Speaking of which, I haven't seen much out of llama lately.

I was thinking the same thing. They must have a lot of confidence in their experience of how concrete shatters under force. I would have been behind an inch or two of plexiglass.

It looks like the audience is behind some plexiglass (see vertical strip of wood below tiny American flag). But yes, the black shirt / green hat guy does seem to be close and without protection.

Also: eponysterical?

Woah! You're right, there is something protecting most of the audience. Totally couldn't see it the first time.

Screw the camera dude, they're disposable.

They should've filled it with candy.

It must be because I just watched the Young Turk...because when I glanced at it I thought the title was "1 Million lbs. of Force Exerted on PALIN". Though you have to admit, that would've been an infinitely more gratifying video.

I always grossly underestimate the strength of building materials and get freaked out a bit. This video will help me come to the day when I can finally overestimate the strength and then die horribly in an accident. Thank you, videosift!

I think your "god" filled your head with candy. Probably the dum-dums kind. ;-p

Seriously this video needs to cut out the first 50 seconds and then just show the last 6 in slow mo over and over and over.

Not sure what I'm more impressed with...the pylon taking a million lbs. of force like a champ or the machine that doled it out fairly rapidly.

I'm guessing the machine has a rapid release mechanism that drops it's force off if it suddenly accelerates downwards or shifts it's downforce angle. Otherwise I'd guess the pillar would ahve been literally flattened once it lost it's vertical integrity. Quite a piece of engineering.

Note to self: Bring concrete pylon with self wherever self goes.

pfff what'd the machine do other than get heavy? That's no big feat, a million pounds is the average weight of an American from the midwest.
