The most awesome video you will ever see of a washing machine tearing itself apart

[pokerfan]

While videos of people putting stuff in appliances to watch them break is practically a genre unto itself, this one in particular stands out, due to the intricacy with which this washer gets dismantled.

Watch as it is methodically disassembled piece-by-piece in a feat of automatic reverse-engineering.

Looks like someone is about to make good on that extended warranty gamble.

1. I watched that earlier on another site....fascinating deconstruction.

I was actually pretty impressed on how well the tub, frame, and motor kept driving, as it tore itself apart.

2. I think it always wanted to be a top loader

Got its wish in the end...

3. I think somebody bypassed the safety shutoff switch n/t

4. Even if it wasn't still working perfectly...

I imagine there were homeless or animal shelters or a daycare that would have been grateful for the donation.

This is more than a little Jackass.

I think in this case, the entertainment value outweighs the utility value.
