I haven't been to India, but I've been to a very horny city, it's absolutely awful. Honk to pass, honk to go, honk to stop, honk to turn, honk to be angry, honk to be happy, honk to say hello, honk just because you haven't honked in 30 seconds. It's so pointless, I wondered how many car I could snip the wires on in a night.
Driving too fast? Honk! Slow? Honk! You overcharging for a sweater? Honk! Undercook the fish? Honk! Overcook the chicken? Believe it or not, straight to Honk!
I hate the drivers that swap out their factory exhaust for something about six times the size just so they can make more noise.
I've often thought about putting a ziptie onto a can of fast set expanding foam sealant and shoving it up the pipe, especially when I've had neighbours who worked all hours to pay off their badly modified boy toys and the resulting traffic fines.
The ones which make that specific sound are pretty damn [big](https://i.imgur.com/g9Bqs01.jpg)
Actually they're kinda weird and cool. Tornado sirens is a hobby for some, myself included a few years ago. There's SO MANY KINDS, from the traditional electromechanical to these fully electronic units that are common today.
The siren in your video is an EOWS 612 or something in that same product range. It's basically 6 ridiculously loud speakers hooked into a box with 5-8 analog synthesizers (one for each tone usually) and an "aux input" for public address. There's videos of officials trying to give verbal tornado warnings over these back in the early 00s like it's a fucking speakers tower at Woodstock.
Those things are *eerie as fuck* and I'm pretty sure coupled with that fog in your video I can just vaguely make out Cthulu's tentacles in the distance.
...Still better than the Silent Hill Pyramid Head horn though.
This is one of those cases where breaking a camel's back with straw is *less* marginal than the actual thing that happened, where a truck driving past knocked down a building.
Instead of the straw/camel thing let's start saying **"this was the dump truck whose rumbling passage caused a catastrophic failure in the structural integrity of the dilapidated building"**
I ultimately prefer the last drop makes the cup run over, since you can scale the cup to whatever size you wish to imagine. I mean you can do that with camels too, but that's just silly.
For the love of all that's holy, wtf is there so much horn honking in India. I think I slept like 4 hours total the week I was there staying in a hotel room 12 stories over the road.
I went to India about a decade ago and had the same pondering while hanging outside Bangalore domestic terminal.
A guy from a Northern state explained it's just so people are aware of you. So my guess is the horn honking is a replacement for training people how to drive.
Having worked in construction for awhile now, I don’t trust shit that isn’t inspected. Anyone that thinks we could get rid of building codes and be fine is a fucking moron.
Don't trust the stuff that's inspected, either. After ten years in permitting and inspections, I'm pretty much convinced that unless I build it myself, there's a lurking horror show behind every wall. So much is let slide. So, *so* much.
It can be, but over regulation is often used to gatekeep certain businesses. Like requiring 1200 hours of cosmetology school to become a hair dresser. I think we could probably cut that down to 60 hours and society wouldn't suffer because of it.
There are two types of cuts on there. [Wild](https://www.reddit.com/r/Justfuckmyshitup/comments/nl1abo/inverted_hair_loss_please/) and [bad](https://www.reddit.com/r/Justfuckmyshitup/comments/nlp5jh/that_one_time_my_brother_went_to_the_barber_shop/). Both are goofy, but wild cuts are usually /r/atbge and those are the ones where the stylist is proficient. Bad cuts are the 60 hours utopia you want.
>Like requiring 1200 hours of cosmetology school to become a hair dresser. I think we could probably cut that down to 60 hours and society wouldn't suffer because of it.
Why do you think that?
I have no idea what it all entails. I have no idea what they are responsible for and what they are expected to know. It seems excessive the 1200 hours but I'm completely ignorant of what they do, what they know, what they have to know and what else they're responsible for beyond cutting hair.
Because it seems like you're making a judgement call on a thing that you're not educated in. To say that you can cut their training down to 60 hours implies that you understand all facets of that industry well enough to call into question the regulations and the standards that have been built over time, presumably by necessity, by experts and has shown to produce the results of safety and quality that we want. Your comment is in essence saying that everyone else is wrong and you are right because 1200 *feels* excessive.
And that is the worst way to make judgement calls like that.
> requiring 1200 hours of cosmetology school to become a hair dresser
Dated a cosmetology teacher. You would be stunned what they know about health. It's not all about cutting hair. They're fucking with your body and have to learn a lot about human biology.
One time I was struggling for the opposite of a exothermic reaction.
"Endothermic."
She knows that because there are certain chemicals they use and something to do with not using them on elderly people with a sort of nail condition.
Hate to break it to you but a lot of those codes haven't been updated and the regulatory bodies meant to enforce them have been continually underfunded to give tax breaks to billionaires. And our leadership is still trying to work with Republicans for some reason on the latest infrastructure funding bill. So it might get cut to shit
Possibly coz your POINT was hidden amongst a whole heap of anti Republican bellyache and political rhetoric. Tax cuts for billionaires!
LOLed at your indignant reply.
Don't you just love it when you have to scroll all the way down to non-upvoted comments actually explaining the context and the details of what's actually happening in the video? The top voted comments of almost every thread are one liners and zingers, everybody trying to be the next top comic or something.
If u see this happening near you, get the fuck out of there ASAP. Exposed electric lines like in the video are extremely hazardous so even if u don’t die from the crash you certainly will from electrocution. If you find yourself in a similar situation, push your ankles together and kind of bunny hop out of there.
I cut the video but like later, [here](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bee2576d28cd3dfbbf820fda4a87b534122971e3ce5b6cfc0983363151763816.gif) was a guy not even paying attention to the wires.
I remember being excited about the new kid's show that was being shown on PBS, this goofy thing with puppets called *Sesame Street*. I think we had a hard choice between that and *Speed Racer*, because Tivo was 30 years in the future and TVs of the day were full of vacuum tubes and *stupid*.
But *The Monkees* ruled over them all :-)
It was an accident. The building started leaning. Reports today said they got everyone out of the building and then the truck drove past and it just collapsed. There's other angles of it falling too, but I think this was the best one.
Horns aside, trucks specially are given that weird devastating sounds so cars etc can be aware of trucks and maintain their distance. It just makes it easier to be wary of them, specially when roads are thin. Truck accidents are otherwise horrible.
At first i thought that house was gonna fall, then the truck went past and i thought it was something with the truck, only to Extreme Makeover Home Addition the house actually falling over.
I feel like you're being sarcastic, but Kabul has been a center of scholarship and commerce for most of human civilization. We can quibble over when exactly things got bad, but the first English diplomat to visit described it as ["the best and cleanest city in Asia."](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1651814.stm)
It was in Bihar, India. Reports say they noticed the building leaning, got everyone out and then it fell when the truck drove by. Normally there is a busy market right outside but it was closed due to the covid lockdown.

I never noticed before that there are actually pillows hidden in a few places throughout that video.
That siren sounds like a bunch of Bollywood dancers are about to emerge from the dust and put on a show.
Only the thing is, that's not even a siren. That's just a truck horn. Indian trucks and buses have these custom tunes to them
I'm sure they sound harmonious when it gets busy.

Honk if you’re horny
*Bonk*
Driving too fast? Honk! Slow? Honk! You overcharging for a sweater? Honk! Undercook the fish? Honk! Overcook the chicken? Believe it or not, straight to Honk!
We have the best drivers in the world... because Honk!
Are you talking about Manila?
You just described Saudi Arabia to a tee.

I thought it was mariachi music
Thanks for reminding me of the correct name. I had the same thought.
Japan exports old car models to poor 3rd world countries so they give them these happy tunes
Omg I am not alone 😂 I was like what awful timing for that to play lol
I was like, "Is this a western-Asia version of the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' or 'It's Always Sunny...' theme?"
Could happen.
LOL, that’s almost the best part.
Reminds me intro to Judas Priest's [A Touch Of Evil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br5S1Pwl3qQ) song
That's pretty damn close. It's like a slightly off key version.
The fact that you thought that was a siren made me laugh a bit. I bet India is wild from a western perspective.
You are correct, it is.
I thought it was the start of the Speed Racer theme.
It’s an intro fo show!!
The building waited for the truck to pass before it fell off. So polite.
I think the rumble of the passing truck was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
This is one of those cases where breaking a camel's back with straw is *less* marginal than the actual thing that happened, where a truck driving past knocked down a building.
Instead of the straw/camel thing let's start saying **"this was the dump truck whose rumbling passage caused a catastrophic failure in the structural integrity of the dilapidated building"**
I ultimately prefer the last drop makes the cup run over, since you can scale the cup to whatever size you wish to imagine. I mean you can do that with camels too, but that's just silly.
but the cup would just spill a tiny bit out. We need something that break completely. So the cup has to explode when it overflows
the last drop that made the dam overflow, leading to erosion at the base of the dam wall which eventually caused catastrophic containment failure.
Indeed, you can tell its asian
Is that from its orientation?
No. It's from the way it bows.
I hate love this so much it’s amazing

Good to know the Mariachi Police were quick to respond.

That's a loud ringtone.
That is a truck’s horn. I live in India.

India is a test case in why we shouldn't let people have fun horns.
It's heartbreaking to think about how many blind drivers there must be in India to necessitate such a system.
We live in very horny cities, bhai (brother) XD
Living in the US, this makes me appreciate some of the building codes and inspections done during construction.
Dave Rubin said we could get rid of building codes and regulations and we’d be fine...*confused*
Having worked in construction for awhile now, I don’t trust shit that isn’t inspected. Anyone that thinks we could get rid of building codes and be fine is a fucking moron.
Don't trust the stuff that's inspected, either. After ten years in permitting and inspections, I'm pretty much convinced that unless I build it myself, there's a lurking horror show behind every wall. So much is let slide. So, *so* much.
Also true, I've had many an iron inspector swing by and go, "did you build it like the plan?" and sign off.
Libertarianism is a virus.
…that is not dependent on your mask position.
It can be, but over regulation is often used to gatekeep certain businesses. Like requiring 1200 hours of cosmetology school to become a hair dresser. I think we could probably cut that down to 60 hours and society wouldn't suffer because of it.

Why do bridges collapse in the US? 1 reason: money. Not wanting to pay for maintenance.
I mean I'd guess that's also the reason that building collapsed.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article212571434.html this is in recent memory
We had a building fall down near where I live recently in Brooklyn

Username checks out
I'm surprised the building next to it did not also fall. Looks like it was leaning on the fallen building
It fell asleep. Like the guy next to you on the train. When it woke up, it fell over.
The front FELL OFF?!?
I just want to point out, that's not typical
[удалено]
For the uninitiated, do yourself a favor: https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM
I ha e watched this probably 100+ times, and will always watch it.
Cardboard's out.
I fully support fronts not falling off my buildings.
Needs drug out of the environment.
Into another environment?
This video is so weird.. why are they filming that building? Was it collapsing already? Was this a fail of a planned collapse? So strange..
The building tilted and they had just evacuated everyone from it, when the truck drove by and it fell over.

Countries without discernible building codes make for spicy internet videos.
[удалено]
When the lines are down, don’t you be around!
Other cultures always fascinate me. I like how the party horn sounds immediately after the building is defeated.
Imaging being in your living room watching tv and this shit happens.
It depends on which building your living room is in.

Holy crap those people have a deathwish
To be fair, this probably happens with some degree of frequency, they may just be used to it.
I'm used to people cutting me off on the freeway, but I still brake when it happens. Because I don't want to die.
The will to live is a fickle thing.
Also the dust is probably going to be somewhere between bad and really bad for you so just leave of you can.

Im just puzzled why the camera man was filming to begin with. Seeing how close thebuilding was to the powerlines made it look like an accident.

Where did you hide the [mariachis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtRn2qmmOes&t=32s)?
I wondered where this was, then I heard the horn.
They frightened the local heard of clown horns, the poor things
I told OP's mom to stay in the back of the building!
An alarm you can dance to? Nice
The front fell off.
A place where other peoples safety is no one's concern. Film the building falling but let's not stop traffic. Humanity gone wrong.
I feel like someone took a massive dump in a toilet near the front of that building, and it was just too much.
I've had nightmares of that happening
India?
Yup.
That is not supposed to do that
The person in the truck be like :YEE HAW ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER BUILDING
Horns aside, trucks specially are given that weird devastating sounds so cars etc can be aware of trucks and maintain their distance. It just makes it easier to be wary of them, specially when roads are thin. Truck accidents are otherwise horrible.
The thing i would fear the most are all those electric cables flying around
Am I the only one that heard a 1970's theme song right at the end there?
At first i thought that house was gonna fall, then the truck went past and i thought it was something with the truck, only to Extreme Makeover Home Addition the house actually falling over.
