Forklift FAIL Results in $150K Damage, Chaos in Vodka Warehouse
In the following video (after the break), taken by a surveillance camera, a worker on a forklift tries earnestly to move boxes around a vodka warehouse in Moscow. (Ed. Note: Way to propagate Russian stereotypes, Moscow.) Epic calamity ensues. With one swerve of the wheel, he singlehandedly turns the place into a Jenga game gone horribly wrong. Incredibly, the guy walked away with only minor injuries, although the incident resulted in the loss of an estimated $150,000 worth of vodka and cognac (a tragedy in its own right). The entire thing has taken the world by total surprise. Heavy machinery? Vodka warehouse? Accident? Noooo way. [From: Urlesque and Huffington Post]

*insert appropriate "In Soviet Russia" joke here*

This is NOT Soviet Russia - this is CAPITALIST Russia today. Such problems would never have happened during the Soviet era, which ended 20 YEARS AGO. Now that profit is the goal, there is cheap construction like you have in the US. The problem here was not the forklift, but the shoddy construction of the shelving - no braces between aisles, and insufficient strength of beams.

Millerson: nobody is saying they are still Soviet. It's a reference to a joke you're not getting.

Forgot this one...the actual reference in case you don't care about the videos.

As the article says "There are fails. And then there are fails.". I'm thinking Millerson's reply falls into the latter....
Though in the interest of a history lesson...I must point you to the following:
