*Collapsing* the World's Tallest Kapla Tower! (Behind the Scenes)

Enjoy a detailed behind the scenes of how we built the World Record Kapla Tower, including how it was designed, how it was supposed to fall, and what really happened during the collapse.

18 builders spent 4 days attempting to break the World Record for the tallest tower made of wooden toy blocks! This 25m-tall (82ft) tower contains 100,000 Kapla planks and was designed by @KaplaBen, who organized this world record project!

Special thanks to Kapla and Olympia London for supporting this World Record attempt, Anna and Richard for the event organization/logistics, and the film crew (Robert, David and Tristan) for capturing incredible shots of this project.

I’m still confused by the second tower.. like HOW did it just all explode like that??🤔

[franckplanks]

Huge thanks to everyone who made this project possible, it was an honor to work on it. Great job on the explanations on all the important stages of the build.

[StayFawnTop]

I really appreciated the in depth description of the tower and the techniques used. It’s an amazing feat of architecture, art, and engineering.

YOU GUYS DID IT TWICE?!!!!???!!?! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!!! I've been gushing over this structure since it came out, and I'm so happy I was able to get to see some behind the scenes work for this structure! It's awesome that there was some changes both times, and it was nice to see them! This was an awesome video :D

[MAXimalfun]

Wow! I love these BTS videos! Amazing as always! Thanks❤

[micajodomino]

This is a really well done video, you did a great job with summarising all of the key moments of the project. Also I was really surprised when I heard myself at 9:53 lol. Awesome work :)

[slugbiker]

very cool! thanks for all the added details about the tower designs and the differences between the tower versions.

8:25 super cool shot of the stage 3 opening up

[Luke_Domino]

The second topple is really interesting because Yeah it's definitely odd how those planks just shoot out like that. My guess is that because of the huge amount of weight above those supports, the vibrations from the tower starting to topple gave it enough movement to cripple under the weight and then shoot out in the easiest direction those planks could go.
And this was also more possible in the second tower because of the taller structure overall
Either way, both topples were super supet impressive and inspiring, especially as a fan of Ben's and your work Lily for such a long time. Massive props to the entire team that worked on this project. keep up the amazing stuff :)

There are still beautiful and inspiring things in the world. Thankyou

[joshuamurray]

It's neat because it shows how fast civilization can topple and disappear as well. How many ancient civilizations are just gone overnight.

Bravo les gars c'était impressionnant et tlm satisfaisant à voir

[hopolo]

so proud of you and your team. it's marvelous.

[nickfosterxx]

Incredible - please do a video about the architecture / fall planning. What an interesting perspective on physics. Thank you.

[randywoodruff]

That was really really amazing and do you peeps have major skills

[FlamingFiringPlayz]

My goodness all of this is just so incredible you deserve infinity subs! ❤

[marblominor]

So you all broke 2 world records now or just one? Either way, congratulations! Very well deserved. I'm happy with how these towers came out, especially the first one. :D

[cabalenproductions]

Cool how the Burj Kalifa model went down.

[theSato]

What's going on at 8:20? There's a bunch of jank and artifacting at the bottom-middle of the screen. Seems like editing to me.

[maythesciencebewithyou]

I have steady hands and I do trust them when I build solo, but I would be too afraid to participate in a group project, especially of this scale, afraid that I might be responsible for making it fall close to the finish.

Well done.
