I wonder how that was set up and how many barriers or whatever were in place in case a mistake was made while assembling. The last row was incredible.

Peace

I get that it's a skill building it up, but it's just so friggin' fascinating to watch the whole thing collapse.

I was never good at science, but would think physics, or some other dimensional science would have to be behind the successful execution.

Back in 2015:



Every book used got a sticker inside the front cover attesting to its presence in the chain, which I thought was pretty cool. I also thought the Portland Public Library should break their record, and in the midst of the chain have the books spell out "Suck it, Seattle." But I'm a very petty person, and Portland is cooler than that.

After it all goes down though, I guess all that's left is cleaning it all up. Sorting the dominoes by color. Maybe making another one...
