That dude’s vertebrae is going to be mashed potatoes in about 10 years. But at least he’s entertaining us Westerners now. That’s what counts.
I’m almost more impressed by how long his reach is more than the bricks. I’m positive they stretched, or something.
ii call bs on this one. he throws the bricks up and thhey land perfectly/ bullshit
Fake, watch the bricks as they land when he is throwing them…CGI ftw.
It seems fake to me as well. His arms seem to grow as the bricks get higher and the bricks seem to line up to perfectly. Even the color of the edges of the bricks seems off somehow. like the light on the bricks is wrong and they don’t produce the right shadow. I dunno, I’m just a photoshop amateur but this seems fake to me.
Put one brick ontop of another than try to slide it around. They stick together pretty well. I can see this video being true.
I’m sure if you are carrying bricks on your head 10 hours every day you get pretty good at it…
What I find odd is the blurring of his hands when he reaches up. What’s up with that?
Atlas was forced to seek additional employment due to the economic crisis.
This looks true. You see lots of labourers around J’burg doing similar stuff (though not with as many bricks).
Watching builders throw bricks up from the ground to a higher level is equally impressive.
It’s real. I saw guys doing this in Bangladesh, and I assume that’s where this was filmed.
Looks fake. Watch closely near the end of the video. When he walks under the rope hanging down from the other boat. The area above the bricks fades out. If it were real there would be no change in that rope.
well, being into brick manufacturing, i can confirm the video is real. I have seen this process where people transport 10 bricks at a time – 12 is the max i have seen a person do. but 22 is completely unbelievable.
My friends and I do this for fun all the time. The most I’ve done is 18. It’s really not as hard as it looks. I encourage any able-bodied adult to try it. But wear steel-toed boots if you have them, and a hockey mask. I usually wear a Darth Vader helmet, and some of those light-up sneakers… but that’s just me. I’m silly like that.
