@pendejadafcc camera flash

what was the blue flash?

It's a good video no doubt, but i agree with @attaintruefreedom , it could have been hazardous if people seated too close got hurt with flying rubble!
-
@Nexxion its done hydraulically so its not going to fly out of control when it breaks! you can't compress a liquid so thats why it didn't much after it crushed it!
-
failed at 900,000 lb or 408 metric ton
-
note: crushes at 0:48

Once the load cell recognizes that the rate of the load increase decreases with time, that's when the operator stops it.
Or when the concrete breaks :)

I spent many a night in Talbot Hall, where this video was taken.
Kind of sad though that while I'm an UIUC engineering alum I never got to see the concrete crushing in person.
ILL-INI!

Concrete needs to tested before any construction project to ensure it withstands the loads intended for it, I spent a whole summer testing cylinders like this one, although much smaller, for the Illinois DOT. Two samples of a mixture for every project are sent in and tested, if both pass you can assume the method works.

i want to see this done with aerogel
actually if u look closely you can see a Plexiglas wall in front of the audience. There wasn't any danger here.
