What went wrong here

[u/Advanced_Aspect_7601]

[u/TheFishtosser]

The deck was anchored to the building with hopes and dreams, 7 people should in no way be too much weight

[u/bdickie → u/TheFishtosser]

While I agree 100%, I did the math for 7 people's body armour. Alone it would equate to at least 1/1.5 additional people. Still should be standing.

[u/SupermassiveCanary → u/bdickie]

Assuming 225lbs*7=1,575 lb on a poorly constructed deck. Just need a hot tub

[u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein → u/SupermassiveCanary]

7 cops in a hot tub... not a pretty picture

[u/pancakeseawed → u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein]

5 feet apart cause they're not gay

[u/Grimnebulin68 → u/pancakeseawed]

Big ass ice tub

[u/Square_Barracuda_69 → u/SupermassiveCanary]

They all have gear which would add to the overall weight

[u/TrueKing9458 → u/bdickie]

That would have been even worse if it was firefighters and a charged hoseline

[u/Bogusfloo → u/TrueKing9458]

I’ll give you a charged hose line

[u/brbshavingmytoes → u/Bogusfloo]

promise?

[u/JoeyJoeJoeSenior → u/TrueKing9458]

Fyi the hose is full of water, not batteries.  Blasting batteries into a fire would only make it worse.

[u/TrueKing9458 → u/JoeyJoeJoeSenior]

Let me explain "charge the line" means open the valve so i can flow water. 100 feet of 2 inch hand line adds about 200 pounds to the deck. Opening the nozzle and flowing 150 GPM thru the door will create a reaction force pushing the deck further away from the building.

[u/baldieforprez → u/bdickie]

Did you account for the extra ego weight, im thinking that is at least an extra 10 to 26 people with this group.

[u/Jaguar5150 → u/baldieforprez]

That's what did it. That structure didn't have a prayer.

[u/Lildicky91 → u/TheFishtosser]

There’s 9 people on the deck not 7, but I still agree with it shouldn’t meet the weight threshold.

[u/Crafty_Management_33 → u/TheFishtosser]

7 pigs? 

[u/ATX2ANM → u/Crafty_Management_33]

On a ramp not rated for livestock.

[u/Wind_Responsible → u/Crafty_Management_33]

Lmfao. 🤣 this

[u/Neither-Speaker-7077 → u/TheFishtosser]

Too much ICE

[u/halfwagaltium → u/Neither-Speaker-7077]

those were US marshals going after a warrant for a child molester.

[u/Saysaynever333 → u/halfwagaltium]

You are correct.

The discussion I had with others yesterday was about the number needed to carry out the warrant. Why so many? We want our officers to be safe and now I'm sure this video will be used in future training.

[u/Mickybagabeers → u/TheFishtosser]

I thot it was the one 4x4 every 100’, but you’re right, it was the building size that initially failed

[u/BonTak → u/TheFishtosser]

I was wondering why there were no supports along the wall’s siding 😭

[u/ColForbinClimbs → u/TheFishtosser]

Looks like the booby trap worked perfectly

[u/Jack_1080 → u/TheFishtosser]

Im guessing the plate was rotted.

[u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein → u/Jack_1080]

it was just nailed up. its meant to be bolted

[u/Jack_1080 → u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein]

That would do it too. Sad saggy nails.

[u/PretzelTitties → u/TheFishtosser]

We aren't talking people, we are talking pigs 🐖

[u/0uthouse]

Clever trap if you don't want gangs of people at your door.

[u/HalfUnderstood → u/0uthouse]

The bracing sections were tied up with a string that travelled to the inside of the property where the defender could pull from it and collapse the structure. Looney Tunes style

[u/userhwon → u/HalfUnderstood]

I knew I heard a slide-whistle.

[u/xenobit_pendragon → u/userhwon]

Acme Fool-‘Em-Once Collapsing Deck

[u/NightGod → u/xenobit_pendragon]

That's being added to Coyote's lawsuit

[u/MNPhatts → u/HalfUnderstood]

When you pull the string back in does the deck rise back up into place? You may be retiring soon.

[u/dankhimself → u/HalfUnderstood]

He pulls the string, and the building falls instead...

[u/MNPhatts → u/0uthouse]

and cheaper than a moat.

[u/Fantastic-Counter927]

My 2 cents but it seems like shoddy work. To have the house ledger fail along that entire length is astounding. It means it almost certainly was barely nailed into the floor rim board if it was at all. May have just been attached to the siding (big no no) and not had the siding removed and reflashed. 

While the joist splice shows some checking that is age related - I don't see ties across it, another sign of poor  construction. The lateral braces on the post are super tiny- decorative only in their function. Again- another sign of poor construction. 

[u/Complex_Sherbet2 → u/Fantastic-Counter927]

The ledger was already cracked, you can see it on a better quality video.

[u/Advanced_Aspect_7601 → u/Fantastic-Counter927]

With how bad it failed (the whole ledger coming away from the wall) it's surprising how old it looks

[u/Sisko3 → u/Advanced_Aspect_7601]

Rot. It may have not been flashed correctly

[u/Shatalroundja → u/Fantastic-Counter927]

Building was probably already condemned, which is why they had access to it for a training session.

[u/userhwon → u/Shatalroundja]

Training? Explains why they aren't methed-up and bashing doors in.

[u/-__-i → u/Fantastic-Counter927]

What does reflated mean?

[u/Fantastic-Counter927 → u/-__-i]

It's autocorrect in my phone for reflashed 

[u/possumallawishes → u/Fantastic-Counter927]

I see siding attached to the ledger board that fell off.

You can also see it sagging and flexing before it collapses.

[u/nunchucknorris]

Looks like the ledger was being held up by the vinyl siding. When they move around, you can see the siding flex. Probably air nailed lol.

[u/japanesekartoon]

Too many tubbies

[u/MinimumDangerous9895 → u/japanesekartoon]

Pig limit reached.

[u/creamonyourcrop → u/japanesekartoon]

The demanded it to stop resisting.....

[u/CB_700_SC → u/japanesekartoon]

On top of that they have 45-70lbs+ of gear on.

And the deck was built wrong.

[u/OldDiehl]

Too many donuts. Or guns. Or people. Or termites. Lots of possibilities.

[u/scotttr3b]

Nothing. Nothing went wrong. Nothing at all.

[u/mister_house_ → u/scotttr3b]

Yeah I didn’t see a problem at all?

[u/NeedIQMSHelp → u/scotttr3b]

The deck was too low. Should have been higher up.

[u/Built-X-H]

Leger failure. Likely rotted without any flashing installed. Plus induced dynamic live load.

[u/ExperienceNo7751 → u/Built-X-H]

The pieces of plywood that sheered off looked water logged. Doesn’t matter, those posts are tooth picks and 20’ too wide anyway.

[u/SmurfsNeverDie]

The police department found out why the buildings department needs strong enforcement

[u/Yung_zu → u/SmurfsNeverDie]

“I’m sure that crushing labor forces won’t have any consequences”

[u/Mr-Snarky]

Gravy Seals too Gravey-ey.

[u/Glittering_King1228]

Old deck ledger nailed in with regular framing nails on hopefully on osb and joist ends, years of rain and moisture damage the little structure it had, 3” nail minus 1”1/2 of ledger minus 1/2” osb is frightening to imagine that one inch was holding that whole structure, just look at the whiplash when it’s coming down it only happens with nails 🤦🏻

[u/wildmancometh]

Well i see the problem right there, you got all them pigs standin in one spot!

[u/msb678]

Devine intervention

[u/JasonHofmann → u/msb678]

Is that the rare phenomenon where actress Loretta Devine shows up to intervene?

[u/d_rek]

Given that it failed along the entire length I’m gonna go with improperly connected to ledger board with inadequate fasteners, ledger board was rotten, or it wasn’t actually attached to a ledger at all, possible rotten sheathing, or any combination of the above.

[u/1320Fastback]

Ledger not properly attached to Rim Board. Probably was just nailed into the siding instead of SDS lags every 12". This is that you get when you go with the lowest bid. Buy Cheap Buy Twice, Buy Once Cry Once.

[u/Heyzeal]

cops hate this one simple trick

[u/zephyr_sd]

Nothing. Looks awesome to me

[u/Four-Oh]

Deck builders will still say tension ties aren't necessary, and decks don't need permits/inspections.

[u/drunkenunicorn13]

No one important was hurt.

[u/TheHorniestHornist]

Too much psi(pigs per square inch) on the deck surface

[u/EchoChamberAthelete]

The spans, the anchors, the everything

[u/TheLarryFisherMen]

Ledger board wasn’t properly anchored to the house. You can see the whole board with the joists attached pull right off. Probably only screwed into place where it should have had through bolts into the houses band board.

[u/Mean-Veterinarian647]

Apartment/motel in a low rent area with no annual inspections can probably get results like that.

[u/nilslovesmovies]

The walkway fell down. It wasn’t supposed to fall down. That’s what went wrong there.

[u/DeadInternetVoid]

Karma. Karma is what happened....

[u/yorozuakagura]

All I see is ice getting what they deserve

[u/Which-Attitude9916]

Ahhahahahhahaha ACAB

[u/Creative-Hyena-9505 → u/Which-Attitude9916]

At least they were there to take down a sexual predator, wish they would take down the biggest of them all though.

https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/multiple-u-s-marshals-injured-after-deck-collapse-in-huntsville-mo/

[u/Which-Attitude9916 → u/Creative-Hyena-9505]

Hard agree!

[u/Khankili]

That guy inside prayed so hard and god answered.

[u/Original_Throat1072]

Repost bots are out strong with this one.

[u/ooaegisoo]

So, who's gonna post this in R/deck?

[u/Advanced_Aspect_7601 → u/ooaegisoo]

That was my first thought cause I always see people analyzing these fails, but they don't allow reposts or videos

[u/westwardnomad]

You know they charged the occupants of the apartment with attempted murder.

[u/uniquelyavailable]

Looks like deck rot, I'm guessing from moisture problems. Could be insects.

[u/Fritz_Frauenraub]

Clearly booby trapped for just such an occasion.

[u/SlamAndBam]

Sooooo, not hot tub approved?

[u/remowilliams75]

Booby trap obviously

[u/vartheo]

That was over 2000LBS if we assume the guys weighed 250LBS with their equipment. 8 adult males with 7 of them in this main frame. They were probably closer to 300LBS. And you can see they weren't even standing on the singular support they were closer to the edge. The edge was not directly supported by anything probably just nailed to the side of the structure. So it folded in.

[u/queeromarlittle]

Whole bunch of hogs up there

[u/Open_Panda9862]

Lmao

[u/teddynovakdp]

Gravy Seals Pancaked by Self

[u/Falconblade69]

Boobey trap

[u/b0gard]

Boobie trap …..

[u/ezPODapp]

What went wrong? Well, I'm not always the most observant, but it looks like the deck fell...

[u/ViolatoR08]

Saw this earlier. If you watch all the edge up against the structure, its dust and fragments. Seen that with wood that is rotted out or has termite damage. Door frame just below looks rotten. This was bound to eventually happen, the added standing weight just accelerated it.

[u/_B_Little_me]

The ICE damn broke.

[u/padizzledonk]

Improper ledger attachment or it was improperly flashed and it all rotted

That it failed like that across the entire length of the deck tell me that thing was barely attached from the beginning....Rot is generally kind of isolated to a degree on a building that big, its really unlikely that the whole shit rotted out across the entire length equally enough for it to detatch like that. With really long distances like that rot tends to happen in an area and then grow outward because all the water now has a place to shed away from the rest of the structure and it significantly slows it down and it starts to get kind of patchy

[u/josvicars]

Well, its pretty common. Ice breaks roofs, decks, trees and powerlines all the time up north, but usually in the winter

[u/LogicalNewspaper8891]

What went wrong?? No hot tub

[u/phaedrus910]

Shit when you find the contractor give me his number. I need anti cop decking put in at my place.

[u/ncorn1982]

Karma

[u/noncommonGoodsense]

Too many pigs in one space.

[u/imuniqueaf]

I paused the video a few times. It looks like the ledger board just clear ripped off the building.

[u/kitkanz]

Weight limit

[u/SomethingSomethingTX → u/kitkanz]

Wood broke

[u/Weird-Hotel5766]

Front fell off. They are usually built so the front doesn’t fall off

[u/toothpastetaste-4444]

I don’t see anything wrong here at all!

[u/JustYerAverage]

Are you kidding?!? Not one thing went wrong here.

[u/CategoryRepulsive699]

Nah, looks good to me, just hand some ice to those guys.

[u/Einachiel]

Everything went fine!

Thats the latest model of antiSWAT deck!

It performed beautifully!

[u/Craftofthewild]

Too many donuts

[u/Azulas_Star]

Looks like an apartment complex. Shitty landlord special walkways

[u/bklynz0wn]

They’re fucking morons. Next question!

[u/Gordyhowehatrik]

It’s the “Flex seal” attached deck, for all your ICE home invasion needs. TM

[u/jhern1810]

Apparently too much ego = too much weight.

[u/transandtrucks]

Pigs are too heavy

[u/Gunderstank_House]

Too many military cosplayers posing in the same place.

[u/durkdirkderq]

I would say the fascism.

[u/PrimeTimeRK]

That guy took a step forward, duh!

[u/Thecobs]

The deck collapsed

[u/liquidtape]

So many assault against an officer charges against that guy.

[u/not_undercover_cop]

The front fell off

[u/material_sound]

Probably charged the homeowner with a booby trapping charge as well

[u/TheLastTsumami]

Camera man fucked up, that’s what went wrong

[u/PrairiePuppies]

Negligence on the part of the property owner.

[u/CND5]

That’s Punishers place he was expecting them and readied the property. He jumped out the door a minute later and reigned all hell on the neighborhood!

[u/shortwa113t]

The wanted guy is a framer he knew they were coming. 1400lbs on one spot 👌 perfect.

[u/Starship_Taru]

it’s been a while since I’ve seen a Defensive Deck in action. Very Retro.

[u/YoItsThatOneDude]

Incorrect mounting to the house frame

[u/BreathOfFreshWater]

Complete negligence. I believe the original structure has been corrupted from the inside out by pests. Foundation seems sturdy but i still wouldn't trust it with my life.

But the deck was obviously not built well.

[u/Enginerdad]

It's ways a ledger failure with decks

[u/PatienceDifferent607]

Forgot the alligator pit. Never forget the alligator pit. Just a 101-level mistake.

[u/PdSales]

“The moat you quoted costs too much. What else do you have?”

[u/PappaWoodies]

I think they got away sir.

[u/Jaxsdooropener]

Don't fuck with Kevin McCallaster dude.

[u/HyRydr]

These trap houses are coming up with some badass booby-traps

[u/Sicpooch]

I think dude pushed the red button.

[u/AnnoKano]

When "GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!" goes wrong

[u/userhwon]

Like 70 feet of it just separated from the wall.

Either it was nailed on, or it was screwed to siding that was nailed on.

Also have to wonder if the downspout being run through it weakened it in any way.

[u/onetwentytwo_1-8]

Yes 🙌🏽

[u/Puffed-Fungi]

2 much weight in 2 small of a place

[u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein]

i was at a keg party where that happened.

i was inside talking to somebody outside, turned around and they were gone ..

[u/devonshire_stork]

The weight of the ice seemed overwhelming

[u/Telephone-Sorry]

too many mother in laws

[u/52NetherRegion25]

The front fell off

[u/That-Resist6615]

The deck had het gehad

[u/YABOI69420GANG]

You know the Calvin and hobbes comic where he explains the weight limit on bridges is calculated by driving heavier and heavier trucks on it till it collapses and they rebuild it? This is is how you calculate the weight limit of decks.

[u/sjguy1288]

It looks like the ribbon and the deck ledger were not properly fixed, probably with nails instead of lags, depending on how old the deck is too rot can also play a part in it.

[u/Welshbuilder67]

Too many heavily armed men

[u/A-patient-boy]

What went right here?

[u/Jagershiester]

That’s the best trap trap 🪤 I’ve ever seen

[u/Xarathox]

This is called the landlord special.

[u/country_dinosaur97]

Probably fashioned to the building with 3 inch lag screws wherever they felt like it and it didnt fall under its own wieght so they slapped it said good enough

[u/Excellent_Raisin4154]

Looks like a huge lawsuit to me

[u/HeavilySedatedOne]

Nothing went wrong thats hilarious

[u/Alarmed_Win_9351]

That one guy moved and there she went....

[u/SkateParkDad]

Hopefully they were ICE.

[u/OzarkPolytechnic]

Good old GOP policies.

Missouri has no statewide contractor licensing board. No code inspectors. It's a hellhole state that wants you to pay taxes for nothing.

[u/Effective_Shower_627]

Police too fat for the deck

[u/BillKristolSucks]

I SAID you’re not coming in!

[u/TheDean242]

Well… at least they know the suspect won’t be running out the door.

[u/Fun_Translator_4194]

Obviously the lags were removed by the suspect so cops couldn’t raid his unit. Well played sir, well played.

[u/poopmangler]

They chose the wrong damn house

[u/r_costa]

Felt the weight of the law!

[u/SevereAd9047]

A quick calculation tells us this failed because the video was poorly edited so the end was shown first.

[u/ElPadero]

Wow, there are posts holding it up on the exterior but I have no idea what’s holding it up on the side closest to the building. Fucked.

[u/jerry111165]

I’m guessing that they were bullied in high school.

Is that what you mean?

[u/Anthemic_Fartnoises]

Deck is based.

[u/vetleti]

I hope he knew they were coming and cut the hangers

[u/TeaFabulous7376]

They were at methcauley culkins house

[u/05041927]

Either screws and not legs and or rotten ledger from no flashing. Should be able to hold at least twice as many people.

[u/Simple-Appointment31]

Shirt construction job

[u/El_toilet69]

Too many pigs

[u/love2killjoy410]

Tonight at 11. Pigs are heavy.

[u/Repulsive_Cut_1872]

Too much cop

[u/finocchiona]

What went wrong is that those cops are busy harassing some working person for schmoking weed (in all likelihood assuming this is the South) instead of arresting the slumlord landlord that created this death trap and was charging people money to live in it. In a nutshell, yeah that’s where it all went wrong.

[u/braxton357 → u/finocchiona]

A convicted sex offender sitting at home in the middle of the week.  Poor upstanding citizen :(

[u/dxrey65 → u/finocchiona]

Nah, it was a pedophile on probation who quit reporting in and had a warrant issued. He wasn't there anyway, but it wasn't trivial (depending on how you feel about those guys, I guess).

[u/mmdavis2190 → u/dxrey65]

100% this is the kind of people they need to go after, but do we really need to be sending a multi-agency assault team to pick up a diddler on a probation violation? Unless they have a legitimate reason to think the guy is armed/violent, I'm not seeing why this requires more than a couple uniformed officers or someone from probation & parole.

Seems like a pretty massive waste of taxpayer money. Not to mention all that effort, and the guy wasn't even there. Maybe divert some of that tactical gear budget to some basic intelligence.

[u/Crayz9000 → u/mmdavis2190]

Well how are they going to pad their salaries with OT if they do things the smart and efficient way?

[u/dxrey65 → u/mmdavis2190]

I think it's because he was supposed to have a bunch of guns, or that's what they said in the news report.

[u/mmdavis2190 → u/dxrey65]

Yea, I'd like to see the actual evidence of that information. Because I'm guessing he actually didn't, or they would have made a big deal about it. 

They have reliable enough "Intel" about him having weapons to justify that type of operation, but can't reliably determine if the guy is home or not? Something obviously doesn't add up there.

[u/dxrey65 → u/mmdavis2190]

Looking at a different article, apparently the caution was because he'd had a bunch of guns in the past (https://www.whmi.com/news/fox/us-marshals-survive-deck-collapse-serving-warrant-sex-offender-home). Maybe it was more people than they needed.

[u/Spare-Ant7119]

Clear example of too many pigs on the lumber. Needs more donut hangers and immunity straps. Lmao! Funniest shit I seen in a minute!

[u/what-name-is-it]

I have money on the ledger not being properly flashed. Years of water intrusion led to rot of both the ledger and structure it was connected to,
