Careless forklift driver destroys alcohol

Moscow, Russia
Thursday, 5 Nov 2009

A forklift driver has accidentally destroyed over USD100,000 worth of alcohol in a Moscow warehouse.

The CCTV camera in the warehouse captured the driver reversing into pallet racking holding boxes of cognac and vodka.

The racking, pallets and boxes came crashing down onto the driver and a neighbouring forklift, burying drivers.

Colleagues were seen climbing over boxes to dig the drivers out. One of the drivers is said to have suffered a minor foot injury, while the other escaped unscathed.

The videos, which have received numerous views, can be seen on YouTube.
