I remember hearing a story about a huge domino topple like this in Holland, I don't know if it was this one, but a bird got into this big hall in the night and knocked over 100s of thousands of dominoes, when they arrived in the morning they managed to corner the bird and shoot it. Turns out the bird was endangered, and some animal rights foundation tried to take legal action. If I were them I probably would have killed myself

Just thinking of all the possibilities for this to mess up while it was being set up just makes me all anxious and sweaty palmed.

I've seen a program on tv about these things. If I remember correctly they do have "stops" to prevent the fall of all the dominos if there is a mess up. I wish I knew where people had the time, patience and money for such hobbies.

What was the girl crying about? Did she knock something over by accident or was she just relieved her bit worked and didn't screw it up for everyone?

4 million... 4 million. I wonder how much people were building that thing and how much time it took. Also, how do they prevent somebody from just screwing all the thing by making just one piece fell? They must have some kind of security mechanism.

Seeing as I used to play computer games professionally, I don't get to say this very often: What a bunch of nerds. Still pretty cool looking though
