Construction Workers Show Off Epic Brick-Laying Trick

construction worker tips over bricks lined up

It may not have been the most popular subject in high school, but physics is at work around us every day. It explains why gravity keeps us planted on the ground and why we’re able to spin hundreds of miles per hour every minute on our rotating planet without feeling a thing.

It also explains the truly mind-blowing thing these constructions workers do to lay bricks.

Construction is one of the most grueling jobs under the sun. It’s thankless work that we all rely on, and it often takes teams months to finish big projects.

And it should go without saying that the men and women who do these jobs are no dummies! The crew in this video have used physics to come up with a brick-laying method that must be seen to be believed.

First, they carefully line up bricks on the wall, making sure to place them perfectly to make the magic happen.

Then they tip one into the next, just like with dominoes, setting off a chain reaction. It’s super cool to watch! But how exactly does making bricks fall like dominoes help lay them flat?

The answer is mind-boggling. Keep watching until the end of this video to see what happens after the last one falls. It’s called the double domino effect and it’s incredible to see.
