Discuss Something has gone seriously wrong! in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Ouch !
I think the best chance to see how it was fixed is around 20s where there's a relatively stable (but not very clear) shot of some of the hangers.
Clearly it's been hung from the roof joists, so I wonder if they've used lightweight purlin clips ?

The thing is, they might have been (on paper at least) strong enough with a good margin. But perhaps as they've pulled in the big cables (it's clearly an initial fit out job, not a finished installation - and there's a couple of big cables not fixed) they've let too much cable hang on one fixing which has failed. Once one fails, then the load, plus some dynamic load, will transfer to the next, and I suspect the whole lot went like a big zip.

Would have been "interesting" to see happen - but not from too close :eek:
