    I hope no one was seriously injured but I bet the skinniest guy was glad for his thickness! And why didn't they flip a few sheets at a time quickly then move the larger stack when it was easily manageable? It would have made the stack lighter more quickly creating less injury and gotten them out much more quickly. Panic and adrenaline can really drop people's intelligence.

    It looks like one guy was, at least, not able to move when the plates were lifted off. He was first placed on the table and then carried out the door. My guess is that he was not breathing.

    It is impossible to know what these guys were thinking. Maybe they underestimated the weight of the glass. Maybe their boss told them to do it or be fired. Given the final number of men it took to lift the stack off of them, I’d say they didn’t have a chance. It is likely that any of these guys there were hurt were then fired since they couldn’t work.

    seen the same scenario... once panic sets in... you will not be thinking straight... looks like everybody in the video panicked.
