We’ve all been there.

We’ve seen stuff get torn up, broken and mangled by certain people who have a special gift for total destruction without breaking a sweat.

Things that either shouldn’t be able TO BE broken or should at least, take extraordinary effort to do so.

When we went to investigate, our jaws hung open at what we saw.

What the hell I am looking at you may ask?

That is a solid steel shaft, FOUR INCHES IN DIAMETER, broken clean in half.

This is the other end of it.

Do you have any idea how much force it takes to break something like that in half?

A Lot doesn’t begin to cover it.

Yet somehow, some way, someone figured out how to do that today.

More than likely not on purpose but there it is.

This is the kind of shit I get to deal with on occasion.
