You’ll Want to Watch This Man Drop a Coin Into a Water Bottle Using a 30-Ton Forklift

Standing above a soda bottle and trying to drop in a coin is a difficult feat. Multiply that level of difficulty a few (or a hundred) times and you have a forklift attempting to jostle a coin from its forks into a bottle. It sounds nearly impossible.
But Gawker reports Daniel Xanthopulo from São Paulo, Brazil, has it down to a science, completing this task with ease using a Hyster 30-ton forklift.
Daniel Xanthopulo shows off the coin, which is nearly the same diameter as the bottle opening itself.
Daniel places the fork on top of the coin and as he pulls the fork back, the coin flips onto it.
Daniel then goes through a series of up-down and side-to-side jostles of the fork to get the coin into position.
On the edge.
In it goes.
Watch the tense but rewarding two minute clip:
As one Redditor explains on the site that is helping push the budding viral sensation, such antics can be a “pretty common thing in warehousing.“ The man with the profile name ”TaskForceDanger” writes on Reddit:
For instance, I bet my supervisor at the time that I could move a nickle from the warehouse floor to the palm of his hand in under 30 seconds. Never mind the danger of the whole thing, like if the accelerator on the forklift stuck and I impaled him with the fork or something, but I was able to accomplish moving the nickle from the floor into his hand. It takes a deft touch and 100s of hours of practice to be able to move something so small with something so big. Guys and girls that work with these machines always boast and claim how good they are. Kinda like Top Gun, but with a forklift.
Others on the site shared similar sentiments about the skills those on the warehouse floor can acquire.
What did you think? Impressive? Fake? The result of multiple takes?

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 10:39pmI used to be master forklift driver in my time and here’s my evaluation. That trick is not that hard if you are given several tries. Getting the coin at the tip of the forks without it falling off is tough, unless there’s an edge there that stops the coin. Anyway, if the guy can do it repeatedly, with more success that failure, then he’s awesome. If he takes a few tries to get it right, then not so much.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 5:01pmThe thing is, the Blaze has hundreds of MBs of cyberspace to post stories in. Most of it, they use for important happenings in the world. When you get weighted down from reading about all the bad things that are going on, you can take a little break and relax a bit with stories like this one.
If you don’t want to read it, the solution is simple. Just don’t place your mouse pointer on the link to this story and click. That has always worked for me when I didn’t want to open a certain page.

Here is a story.
NaturalNews calls for an armed citizens’ arrest of DNR agents in Michigan
A portion of the article’s editor:
“Based on the actions of the DNR, it is my belief that the DNR is a rogue, criminal gang of government thugs who are murdering livestock, destroying the lives of farmers, violating the constitutional rights of Michigan citizens and engaging in outrageous acts of destruction of private property.”
“As the editor of NaturalNews, I am hereby calling for the armed citizens’ arrest of DNR officials who must be brought to justice for their crimes against Michigan farmers. Every agent of the DNR that participated in these raids must be brought to justice to answer for their crimes. If the use of force is necessary to make a lawful and legal arrest of these criminal Michigan government agents, then such use of force is fully authorized under the United States Constitution as well as the Constitution of the State of Michigan.”

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 3:56pmI can see the valid point you are making. however a little humor will be a good thing. I am just as disgusted with what pig farmers are dealing with in the Socialist state of Michigan . But to deride this clever little diversion as you did is a little over the Top.. remember it is just a little penny that you are so upset about. And this guy very well may have been on a valid 10 minuet break. And I applaud his skill as a fork lift operator non the less. See the humor friend..

I’ll tell you what, clown.
If I want a good laugh, there are sites specifically for that.
I thought Beck’s Site was going to be a cutting-edge expose’ that WAS NOT like the MSM.
I and many others are very disappointed.
I would venture to say Beck is not aware of the MSM crap that is, as of late, about 85% of the stories.
If I was a sheeple, full of chemicals, this would be entertaining.
This story and it’s contents are just another glaring example of how dumbed-down a majority of the people are.
I can see what your priorities and concerns are about our Country and it’s State of Affairs are.
People driving slow in the fast lane and being entertained by uneducated losers.
Good luck with all that. lol. I can see you are not prepared for what is to come.
