This glass is recycled and turned into "Glass oxide". Which basically is tiny glass beads the size of grains of sands and is put onto road paint to make it reflective. Its is not used in pavement fill it is simply used for Reflective paint. Also they make a powdered version of glass that they put in reflective tape and road signs. Just thought you would all like to know. I use glass oxide on the Dailey because im one of the guys who paints the lines on the road. Have a nice day Toodaloo!
Tempered glass cannot be cut. When extra is ordered for high rise buildings it is crushed up and added to asphalt mix for paving projects. These sheets are 1400 pounds each and cannot be stored or lifted into your home sun room. Cheaper to crush and order new for next project. Costs too much to store and move. They lose 15 percent on site during construction.
damn ..that big of a sheet was annealed ?? talk about being able to slice a limb off. I used to work in a glass manufacturer ..largest one I can remember was about 6 feet high and 25-30 feet long .... yeah ..one of um broke ..they were for sky lights at a Mc Donalds
Have you ever heard of a flat tire from glass?? You need something sharp skinny and rigid to puncture a tire. A shard of glass would just crush more before it cut through your steel belts.
Jimmy Nguyen does this apply to flat earth people? I need break already...i think too much and the idea of the world being flat is too fucking cool. Think about it. We have fireflies. Bugs that glow from their ass...if thats possible, idw hear SHIT 🙅
FoMoCowboy I'd say so too. A few bucket fulls to the dumpster and a quick sweep. Like it never happened. I was working on a Kaiser building and there was a bunch of glass that was ordered wrong so they had to break it all. The sheets were big enough to fit in a dumpster by themselves so they grabbed a skid steer and dumped the entire pallet in. Pretty cool.
Calm down everybody,it's not all waste they use it for paving fill... As it was extra and it's way cheaper to break them and use them for other projects ,than to store them or pay different machinery operators to move them around every now and then!!!
Yep you got not much for scrap glass , instead of selling it as is . A simple post on internet with a tag of 40% off that is still 300 time the price of recycling it , because you have to pay all your guys to clean your mess ....
Great video. Reminds me of when the John Hancock tower in Boston was being built. Those huge plate glass widows kept popping out and dropping to the street below. Meanwhile, there's nothing quite like the sound of breaking glass. Watched this 4x!
Those are called "stoce". They were most likely going to a glass manufacturer to be cut and fabricated, but we're most likely damaged, or had runs in them that would have been potentially dangerous to whoever had to take them off. More than likely a stoce unloader. Your welcome.
I haul float glass recently broke a few lights on a delievery and we saved all but two lights and when they crashed onto my trailer it was an awful mess that took hours to clean up.
I haul glass like this exclusively. They are breaking the glass because it has a crack in it and would be unsafe to unload. The glass will be cleaned up and recycled.
joe Schlotthauer the glass is not tempered. It’s plate glass used to supply cutting lines. That is a 130x204 10,000lb packs. I have been working in the glass industry for 24 years.
Mike Lissandrello I believe you're correct, if it were tempered, the shards would have been more varied. and if it were safety glass, it would have been more uniform. and if it were laminated anti-shatter-safety glass, it would have just spiderwebbed and landed in a single crunch.
Ana Mae Pon yes and get new ones. Ok. You're probably one of the people that thinks meat in a supermarket doesn't come from animals. It's way easier to recycle a pile of of pure glass than it is to recycle a pile of glass and styrofoam too.
I remember some years ago when Schneider tried their hand at hauling sheet glass, tarped on those drop-A-frames. I was hauling up US-19 in WV, I get to the top of a hill almost at I-79, there's Schneider on the SB shoulder, tarps still completely in place, well off the road on the wide shoulder, with glass all over the place almost flowing out from under the tarp, some pouring off the sides onto the ground, and a small trail behind the truck to where it now stood parked. No idea how the hell it happened, but I laughed when I saw it. I bet that poor Schneider driver didn't find it too funny, and I bet the shipper, and Schneider National weren't amused, either. Can't figure out what he could have done to smash so much glass on an air-ride A-frame, everything looked right as I went by the opposite way, but obviously something went drastically wrong to cause that much damage.
I've seen the same thing, Stan. They weren't very good at it, and the flatbed division of JB Hunt (Challenger, I think it was) put themselves out of business trying to haul glass. Did it for five years myself, mostly with this type of trailer. The key was securing it right, and then careful driving. You said you've hauled glass so you know.
I've been in the glass business 30 years and there is such a thing as spontaneous breakage. They don't know why but I think it involves expansion and the molecules don't line up right for when it starts cooling and contracts. It could also be to tightly strapped and even one grain of sand on the blocks it's sitting on can break tempered glass. The edges are slightly fragile. I've walked on slope glazed glass many times and it's extremely strong. I've also seen a rock stuck in a boot tread pop a couple pieces back to back. We used to use single lites under our desks to roll the chairs on.
And it's waaay cheaper and greener to just break it up and toss it into the nearest recycling bin than shipping it back to the manufacturer for recycling.
Beamer Boys no, not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I'm guessing that you think that since sand is abundant and cheap it's just ok to start from scratch. You should watch a UA-cam video on industrial glass making. It won't make you an expert, but maybe it'll keep you from making stupid comments that the whole world can see. Just a thought...
Gregory Heim the world is actually running out of sand which makes it all the more important to recycle. www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/world-facing-global-sand-crisis-180964815/
That is called a jumbo pack of glass. 130x204 each pack is almost 10,000 lbs. they are used on automated glass cutting lines only. They are handled by skilled and experienced crane operators because they are dangerous to handle. I move them,and have been in the glass industry for 24 years,and they make me very nervous when I move them. You do not cut them on a truck.this glass can kill you.
What a waste! I'm sure some boneheaded UA-cam channel would have bought it for a premium in order to bring it up to the top of something tall and drop it...lol
ike fun You didn't get my sarcasm/joke that someone could have taken this glass up high and dropped it for a spectacular crash of glass. They could have then recycled it if they so wished to.
If your IQ is indeed above room temperature, you must excel in math reasoning, because your reading comprehension is lacking. You failed to see the joke of my initial post and got all butt hurt over broken glass. I wished you a good day and a good life. Then you get nasty and call names. Gee, you are starting to sound like one of those libtards I keep hearing about.
They obviously dont care about that company truck that is not theres and they dont have to pay for the tires they fuck up!!! Because even safety glass will cut into the tires.
It's tempered glass, it breaks into little cubes. I've loaded dozens and dozens of loads at LOF, Pilkington, PPG, PGW, all sorts of automotive and sometimes non-automotive glass plants, driven thru all sorts of glass on the ground while traversing the lots, and I've never lost a tire because of cubes of glass. The only thing I would think would go against the company truck, would be the poor driver having to shovel and sweep that crap off the deck of his trailer. If I were that driver, I'd tell the guys who knocked the glass off that they could clean up the mess. He got it there in decent condition. Might be different if he'd rolled up with it busted already.
ike fun Your the pathetic stupid fuck that doesnt know that tempered glass is also called safety glass and your also a stupid fuck that doesnt know a fucking thing about truck or trailer tires!!! I have owned more trucks and trailers than you have even seen in your entire lifetime!!!!!!! I have had 50 plus tires that have had flats and tire damage from safety glass or tempered glass as you fucking call it!!! So like i said before dont talk shit about something you know nothing about!!!!!!
Jason Donahue just wise up and bow out, I've hauled equipment and driven a heavy wrecker for nearly 20 years and have never seen an 11r22.5 lose its life to glass, tempered or otherwise. Now if you're running antique equipment or container chassis with 10r20 bias ply tires, well those things blow if they're 5psi low, or if you bump a curb, or if you look at em funny, or hell they sometimes blow when they're brand damn new and getting beaded on the rim.
Corey Schmidt The simple fact is that i have had probably atleast 50 tires on my OWN personal equiptment that have had pieces of safety glass cut into the tread and corners of the sidewalls. So i know for a flat out fucking fact that it will damage tires!!!! And it doesnt matter if it is a radial or bias ply!!! I have owned over 50 tractors and over 600 trailers and at one time alone i had 462 trailers in 2007 before i started selling everything off and shutdown my business. Its just hilarious how many people out there will argue about flat out facts that have never even owned a truck. SMH
ike fun There goes your stupidity AGAIN!!!!! Because there is NO truck tire made that is 2 inches thick at the tread and i dont give a fuck what kind of deep lug drive tire you find it is not 2 inches thick even including the tread!!!!! If you knew anything about truck tires you would know that trailer tires today are designed for fuel economy and very low rolling resistance and the tread deapth on a brand new trailer tires is only about 1/4 inch deep and the casing of the tire is about 1/2 thick at the most!!!! So if a piece of glass gets between the tread it only has to go in a 1/2 inch or less!!!! There another lesson for free!!!!!! I dont have anything against explaining things to kids but going at it with your mouth and your attitude and complete lack of knowledge makes you look like a complete dumbass when you are trying to be a smart ass!!!!!
Christopher, you really can't recycle glass. It costs the same to remelt broken glass (sometimes more) vs raw materials. The only way to properly recycle glass is to refill like they used to unless there is a specific application for crushed glass such as synthetic countertops made to appear as granite etc.
@@gavincurtis 100% incorrect statement. 20% +/- of batch is made of cullet (broken glass) It cost a fraction to re-melt it vs. the raw materials. The more cullet we can put back in the process the less gas we need to keep the furnace up to temp.
You could possibly use the broken glass for a really cool looking flowerbeds or lining a small water feature of some sort for your home. A lot more can be done with the broken glass.
Exactly what my wife did. A brick rectangle with plenty of broken glass cubes and a bird bath in the center. Lawn and flowers outside the bricks. She found hers in the field behind us after the 2004 hurricanes. She cleaned up someone's crap and made use of it.
Just have one question to ask , what was the purpose of hauling the glass from his region in first place ?, just to see someone pushing and see it break in little pieces!!.. at list the trucking company got paid ..
Couple possibilities as to why this being done, number one if there had been rain while the load was in transport and not protected the material is a complete loss. Number two sheets this size is typically cut on an automated line which if there had been found defects in the product again its total lost.
Normally with tarped glass loads, called Stoice, there is a fine silica powder that is blown between each lite so they dont rub each other, the silica gets wet from condensation under the tarp when traveling through different climates. In worst cases when the problem is not caught by the receiver, the lites of glass will stick to each other creating one big inseparable pile, in other cases the glass will get stained. Then it is pushed off as one big chunk. And no you cannot cut tempered glass, however I have ground 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in a edging machine for heavy glass edge finishing.Just a tiny bit at a time, about .040 a pass, up to 1/4 inch off. After 1/4 it usually explodes. If you look at a pc of broken tempered you will see a fracture line running through the center of the pc, it clearly shows both sides are under compression. The newbies in the biz are always told to go to the truck and get the tempered glass cutter, and the glass stretcher tool.lol
He's absolutely right about the rain If that raw glass gets wet its worthless. As is if there were numerous broken lites or multiple lites with runs. They're not going to have it go through production or deal with numerous lites breaking in the automated picking area.
Isn't glass 100% recyclable? Couldn't they perhaps melted it for reused instead .. I mean I know it could of possibly been recycled and that it requires this massive size of glass to be crushed before melting but why decide to do this there?
I work in a glass plant. I see this on a regular basis, except fresh out of the furnace. Biggest and thickest we make is 6.0 at 108x144. But these, are some big lehrs. Can’t tell how thick but atleast 1/2 inch I would assume.
I hauled glass several times from California to Colorado in my first two years driving OTR flatbed. Luckily I never had any loads get rejected. I would hate to have to clean up all the shards of glass left on the trailer after they break it.
Can someone please tell me why they wouldn’t just lift it into a crushing machine or the bed of a dump truck. Seems like a lot of work to clean up the pieces
No way to do it safely. This is the safest way. It does not take long to clean up with a skid steer, 5-10 minutes tops. Then 5 more to sweep and scoop leftover piles by hand.
Thats not tempered glass its plate glass. There are still big chunks left. It shattered because of the weight and size. That size would never fit in a tempering oven. The color is called clear but its green. And starphire glass is really clear.
I smashed like 30 beer bottles once in my room, after taking out all the furniture and cleaning up, we were still finding glass shards months later lol.
This glass is recycled and turned into "Glass oxide". Which basically is tiny glass beads the size of grains of sands and is put onto road paint to make it reflective.

Scott Wall this is not tempered glass. But there was defects found in it. However you are right, tempered glass can't be cut.
Scott Wall ya no way that was tempered glass...

I used to work in a glass manufacturer ..largest one I can remember was about 6 feet high and 25-30 feet long .... yeah ..one of um broke ..they were for sky lights at a Mc Donalds
Scott Wall
I didn't know That but it make sense
my ass tempered glass can't be cut I used to cut that shit all day long in a fucking window factory
I need a job like that. I'm always breakin shit when it's not supposed to be broken. Perfect gig for me.
Bob Kerbs you would probably break the tractor 😂
avo420turbo No doubt.
avo420turbo 😂😂😂
Bob Kerbs yup
Bob Kerbs but, it's supposed to be broken this time, so would you fail to break it?
And 20 years from now people will still be wondering where the damn glass came from that gave them a flat.
Cryptonymicus glass like that cannot give flat tires lol. If it did no one would have tires.
Have you ever heard of a flat tire from glass?? You need something sharp skinny and rigid to puncture a tire. A shard of glass would just crush more before it cut through your steel belts.
Cryptonymicus yea
Mensou
Jimmy Nguyen does this apply to flat earth people? I need break already...i think too much and the idea of the world being flat is too fucking cool. Think about it. We have fireflies. Bugs that glow from their ass...if thats possible, idw hear SHIT 🙅
Shout out to whoever’s job it was to clean that shit up.
Don Pablo hi how are you?
Don Pablo looks like the same guy that broke it will be cleaning it up judging from the bucket near the front of the truck.
FoMoCowboy I'd say so too. A few bucket fulls to the dumpster and a quick sweep. Like it never happened.
I was working on a Kaiser building and there was a bunch of glass that was ordered wrong so they had to break it all. The sheets were big enough to fit in a dumpster by themselves so they grabbed a skid steer and dumped the entire pallet in. Pretty cool.
Wouldnt you put some tarpolen down or something so its easier to clean up
They scoop it up with a skid steer, and then bring in a street sweeper in for final clean up.
That swish sound is more satisfying coming from that instead of a basketball hoop
I once worked for a glass plant where we create these packs. Probably the second most interesting job I've had so far.
Calm down everybody,it's not all waste they use it for paving fill... As it was extra and it's way cheaper to break them and use them for other projects ,than to store them or pay different machinery operators to move them around every now and then!!!
Gilberto Dejesus they did use people and machines to smash them lmao
Gilberto Dejesus oooooh... thanx for explain!!
Gilberto Dejesus thanks I learn something new every day
months? how hard are u working
Gilberto Dejesus not to mention I don't think the Earth is having any type of sortage of glass yet
Seems like such a waste. I would think someone would have been glad to buy them. Just imagine what an awesome sun room you could build with them.
at least its being recycled
Yep you got not much for scrap glass , instead of selling it as is .
A simple post on internet with a tag of 40% off that is still 300 time the price of recycling it , because you have to pay all your guys to clean your mess ....
patrick pat ya Ik they use it in roads it because they miss cut it and it's just cheaper to do that it's really stupid
It’s not that type of glass.
I'd bet that just one of them would cost well over a couple thousand dollars.
Great video. Reminds me of when the John Hancock tower in Boston was being built. Those huge plate glass widows kept popping out and dropping to the street below. Meanwhile, there's nothing quite like the sound of breaking glass. Watched this 4x!
"Can't we throw shit at it first? Please boss"
Shoot at it
That was a pane to watch! :P
Sheldon Springer not bad
omg
U so punny!😂
I see what you did there! 😬
Sheldon Springer pretty sharp ;P
You wanted it dropped here right?

Those are called "stoce". They were most likely going to a glass manufacturer to be cut and fabricated, but we're most likely damaged, or had runs in them that would have been potentially dangerous to whoever had to take them off. More than likely a stoce unloader. Your welcome.
I haul float glass recently broke a few lights on a delievery and we saved all but two lights and when they crashed onto my trailer it was an awful mess that took hours to clean up.
Stone Cold would love this video. In fact, after every glass break I expected him to pop out of nowhere with his theme music blaring.
Jumbos! 130" x 204" Quite dangerous.
Why?
Reese Burnett because it was the wrong size
Description says it all...RECYCLING.
Did you just pull that out of your ass?! It was due to defects in the glass...
Y’all misread the description
Half the load was rejected,. being broken up for recycling
I haul glass like this exclusively. They are breaking the glass because it has a crack in it and would be unsafe to unload. The glass will be cleaned up and recycled.
Or water got between the lites.
So this is how breaking bad made the best meth. Those look like clean shards to me. Lol
Truck driver be like, fuck, ima have glass for days on my lowboy.
That glass could have been used to feed kids in Africa!
BTW, I was half smashed myself last night!
Finally I get to see something I haven't seen yet on youtube . nice video bruh
Why break it. That glass could have fed a whole African village.
Chuck so you are paying the shipping costs on glass for a cross Atlantic trip?
Chuck Beef yeah and make them have the worst stomach ache and shit of their lives.
What makes you think Africa is hungry you dickhead?
I’m sitting up here holding my breath like don’t breath that shit in lol
If we can send a man to the moon, we can figure out a way to cut tempered glass.
Sure. Anneal it, cut, then re-temper it. Done
joe Schlotthauer the glass is not tempered. It’s plate glass used to supply cutting lines. That is a 130x204 10,000lb packs. I have been working in the glass industry for 24 years.
We didn't go to moon.

Mike Lissandrello I believe you're correct, if it were tempered, the shards would have been more varied. and if it were safety glass, it would have been more uniform. and if it were laminated anti-shatter-safety glass, it would have just spiderwebbed and landed in a single crunch.
felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of shards suddenly shattered into fragments and were suddenly cracked.
That was inexplicably satisfying to watch.
How does the trucker drive away without getting glass shards in his trailers tires? Forward or backward is the same problem
It will get cleaned up before he moves. Drug out with a skid steer and then swept.
Ironic they save the foam but break the glass!
Easier to remove before than after in hundreds of pieces as it's a contaminant when recycling glass.
Joshua Potter ..... agreed
Easier to crush it and recycle to something else than keep it..
They’ll use that foam in between packs in the plant a lot of times the get broken. Never throw away good hangers
Ana Mae Pon yes and get new ones. Ok. You're probably one of the people that thinks meat in a supermarket doesn't come from animals. It's way easier to recycle a pile of of pure glass than it is to recycle a pile of glass and styrofoam too.
Wow thats some higher quality glass by the colours its giving off! Great blues

Stan Patterson
Glass usually breaks when it’s not loaded correctly. No gaps and secure, one piece of banding loose and the whole load drops.
He was going so slow the glass couldn’t take it any more and committed suicide.
It was probably these damn potholes we have in WV that caused it to shatter lol. I've hit one and it blew out the passenger side glass once.
I've seen the same thing, Stan. They weren't very good at it, and the flatbed division of JB Hunt (Challenger, I think it was) put themselves out of business trying to haul glass.

It’s called Cullet, all new glass made has a percentage of clean recycled glass added. This will be recycled to make new glass.
Now you just gotta go over there and rake it up and snort it cause it looks just like blue meth
So why did they break it after all what was the point of it
Glad it was not mirrors lol Lots of bad luck
UniquelyDezined - Artist Kathy Coulson Prough no such thing
it was mirror glass....but not mirrored
And much more expensive a claim
Boss: WTF DID YOU DO
Tractor guy: I thought we weren't going to keep it
Boss: WE WERE
Tractor guy:Ohhhhhhh
oh no, we bought too many glass panel... what are we going to do with it?
We are Americans, let's break it..
Piktor yes for recycling...
And it's waaay cheaper and greener to just break it up and toss it into the nearest recycling bin than shipping it back to the manufacturer for recycling.
Beamer Boys ???
ALL glass is made from sand. And it's cheaper to re-melt glass than to make it from scratch.
Seriously, what are you smoking today...?
Beamer Boys no, not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I'm guessing that you think that since sand is abundant and cheap it's just ok to start from scratch.

SO WHAT, it's still a total waste
So was their plan to break it?

Wow... I wouldve been glad to take that all
robert karas Sadly the world we live in. Corporations would rather throw something in the trash than give it away for free.
Daring Fawn they're not throwing it out they're recycling it
Christopher, you really can't recycle glass. It costs the same to remelt broken glass (sometimes more) vs raw materials. The only way to properly recycle glass is to refill like they used to unless there is a specific application for crushed glass such as synthetic countertops made to appear as granite etc.
robert karas you couldn't do nothing with it had defects in it so it was basiclly useless. That's why it went to the recycling plant.
@@gavincurtis 100% incorrect statement. 20% +/- of batch is made of cullet (broken glass) It cost a fraction to re-melt it vs. the raw materials. The more cullet we can put back in the process the less gas we need to keep the furnace up to temp.
What was the purpose of breaking glass
That was sweet!
My Gawd here he comes! Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!!!
Какого хрена там происходит?
WITWAS. 82 заказчику прислали неправильный размер окон. видимо оно решили таким образом разбить стекла для дальнейшей переработки.
Этихиносранцев хрен поймешь! Для чего они так делают!
You could possibly use the broken glass for a really cool looking flowerbeds or lining a small water feature of some sort for your home. A lot more can be done with the broken glass.
Exactly what my wife did. A brick rectangle with plenty of broken glass cubes and a bird bath in the center. Lawn and flowers outside the bricks.
She found hers in the field behind us after the 2004 hurricanes. She cleaned up someone's crap and made use of it.
Tempered glass yes. This is raw, it is sharp as any broken bottle or drinking glass.
Нахуя?
Нахуя!
По ходу бракованые, в стеклобой отправляют, на повторную переработку,
Такой же вопрос .
Just have one question to ask , what was the purpose of hauling the glass from his region in first place ?, just to see someone pushing and see it break in little pieces!!.. at list the trucking company got paid ..
What was the point of breaking it
Why are they smashing the glass?
It looked neat watching it shatter thought.
Orders large panels of glass
Card gets declined
Glass company:
Couple possibilities as to why this being done, number one if there had been rain while the load was in transport and not protected the material is a complete loss. Number two sheets this size is typically cut on an automated line which if there had been found defects in the product again its total lost.
Great Whites yeah because glass isn’t waterproof or anything.... just turns right to rust
JoePJack1 you must not work with glass , water spots and yes your right glass doesn’t rust
Normally with tarped glass loads, called Stoice, there is a fine silica powder that is blown between each lite so they dont rub each other, the silica gets wet from condensation under the tarp when traveling through different climates. In worst cases when the problem is not caught by the receiver, the lites of glass will stick to each other creating one big inseparable pile, in other cases the glass will get stained. Then it is pushed off as one big chunk. And no you cannot cut tempered glass, however I have ground 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in a edging machine for heavy glass edge finishing.Just a tiny bit at a time, about .040 a pass, up to 1/4 inch off. After 1/4 it usually explodes. If you look at a pc of broken tempered you will see a fracture line running through the center of the pc, it clearly shows both sides are under compression. The newbies in the biz are always told to go to the truck and get the tempered glass cutter, and the glass stretcher tool.lol
He's absolutely right about the rain
If that raw glass gets wet its worthless. As is if there were numerous broken lites or multiple lites with runs. They're not going to have it go through production or deal with numerous lites breaking in the automated picking area.
Isn't glass 100% recyclable? Couldn't they perhaps melted it for reused instead .. I mean I know it could of possibly been recycled and that it requires this massive size of glass to be crushed before melting but why decide to do this there?
Why broken in the glass?
I work in a glass plant. I see this on a regular basis, except fresh out of the furnace. Biggest and thickest we make is 6.0 at 108x144. But these, are some big lehrs. Can’t tell how thick but atleast 1/2 inch I would assume.
These look like what we call Jumbos. 130" x 204" Can't tell the thickness. We make ours from 5.7
Hay Ho are you
Why are they breaking it is it already damaged or something
It's not a waste, the product has just changed shape. It will be used in another form or application.
seeing the guy trying to move the foam with the other foam reminded me of peter griffin trying to scoop the dead frog up with the shoe box
0:45 “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU BREAK THIS TIME KYLE”
Why did they smash the glass?
Its annoyting seeing all the comments "but why?". Read the description. Says everything..
Customer asked it to be delivered as a jig-saw puzzle.
Obviously workers were glad to oblige !
*FIRST I THOUGHT - Y THE HELL R THEY WASTING GLASSES*
after watching full video - Got the Point 😂😂😂
Left out the clean up?
I don't know why, but i found this satisfying
The last guy is making sure the truck don't roll away
Kids in Africa could've eaten that glass , Smh 😕
How do they clean it all up? A giant street sweeper vacuum do-hickey?
Scrape it back and scoop with a payloader or skid steer then sweep up the leftover dust and small pieces.
Why are they purposely breaking the glass and why is glass that big not toughened?
Ben Mills Skyscrapers have limits. They are suppose to be tough enough to take a hit, but weak enough to shatter for safty reasons.
I hauled glass several times from California to Colorado in my first two years driving OTR flatbed. Luckily I never had any loads get rejected. I would hate to have to clean up all the shards of glass left on the trailer after they break it.
Lol u do know we have eBay lol 😂 smashing work lads
why they break the glass?
Why they breaking it?
Walter White would be proud
I bet everyone came here thinking it was an accident , including me of course 😆 .
They use this broken up glass in asphalt for roads. If you look closely into asphalt, you can see glass.
Heisenburg back at it again with the blue glass. Thought he was retired.
Worth every minute 👀
How the hell did he peel off one pane at a time? Dude is a friggin surgeon with that loader.
Glitch Its soaced and cushioned. Also bmthe loader being articulated. Ive dont it many of times.
Was this just for fun or is this how they always break them down??
With tires driving all around there, seems a bit ridiculous to be breaking glass onto wide open concrete
They clean it all up before the truck moves. Have to break it somewhere skid steer can maneuver around to scoop it all up.
Can someone please tell me why they wouldn’t just lift it into a crushing machine or the bed of a dump truck. Seems like a lot of work to clean up the pieces
Magnifurcent person Paid by hour. So why the hell not. Also, more than likly no way to lift those sheets.
No way to do it safely. This is the safest way. It does not take long to clean up with a skid steer, 5-10 minutes tops. Then 5 more to sweep and scoop leftover piles by hand.
Why are they breaking the glass
Why they broke the glasses?
What was wrong with the glass
Is this glass from natplate illinois it has to be
Dunno why you did that... you gonna melt it and turn it into something else?
So what was the purpose?
Seeing all that broken glass on the ground makes be want to lay in it and make glass angels
Thats not tempered glass its plate glass. There are still big chunks left. It shattered because of the weight and size. That size would never fit in a tempering oven. The color is called clear but its green. And starphire glass is really clear.
You telling me dude just drove across the country just to stop and have them shits broken. Damm
damesio jones He is paid liaded miles. All good. Besides, rejected load. Being broken for recycling.
I smashed like 30 beer bottles once in my room, after taking out all the furniture and cleaning up, we were still finding glass shards months later lol.
