Epic Domino Fail
I’ve called this post ‘Domino Fail’ even though the achievement of making the worlds largest domino pyramid (which this is) is anything but a fail.
What I mean by ‘Domino Fail’ is the fact that, well…it all kinda comes tumbling down. That, surely, has to be a fail…right?
The more that I watch this, and I have watched it numerous times, the more I feel sorry for this guy. He’s obviously used to dealing with dominoes, and can tell when a domino fail is happening. But this time it seems to me that he hears the domino fail at the top, looks up, and then freezes.
From that moment on he clearly has what can only be described as an ‘internal mental breakdown of the highest order’. His fingers seem to go into his ear as if to ‘stop those voices again’. If you look carefully, the walls do appear to be padded. Perhaps he is being allowed to do this in his padded cell for ‘good behaviour’. Maybe he is a free man, but they realised such an epic domino fail would induce instantaneous insanity, and therefore, placed him into the cell. Maybe, that’s my over active imagination running away with me?
One thing is for sure, this isn’t a good day for this chappy. As an optimist, I would tell him that he still has a whole bunch of dominoes he can play with…which is more than most people get.
Pyramid Domino Fail : time-lapse footage
If you weren’t feeling sorry for this guy yet, then perhaps this bit of footage will at least help you to appreciate what this guy had achieved. This footage that I managed to source of the pyramid domino fail actually shows the offending domino that causes it all to come crashing down:
