We witnessed a dramatic illustration of that principle while we were in the capital city. Next to the driveway of the apartment where we were staying was a wall. It was on the edge of an embankment approximately 5 feet high which had been roughly reinforced with bricks. On the other side of the wall, a semi truck (lory) was being loaded up with several tons of used clothing, compressed and then wrapped into tight bales.
We aren't exactly sure what happened next, but one thing is sure. The wall, and much of the ground underneath it, gave way. The trailer rolled on it's side and fell the 5 feet unto the driveway below, taking the cab (tractor) with it. A car parked below the wall was instantly compacted to about 3 feet high under the weight of the tipped trailer. Fortunately no one was in it.
The driver was in the cab when it took the plummet. He amazingly walked away unharmed.
We praised God that no one was hurt, then started snapping pictures!
