Excuse me, señor? May I speak to you please? I asked for a mai tai, and they brought me a pina colada, and I said no salt, NO salt-

Who the fuck puts salt on a piña colada?

Would you say the factory was.....assaulted?

Where is the debris from the wall breaking?
platypusab
probably under the salt.
freebodydiagram
How did it not hit the cars? Unless it fell inward but how would the salt then fall outward?

Is the factory right next to an Acura dealership?
eromitlab
Yep. McGrath Acura's downtown Chicago location.

Those cars are fucked. Literally, salt will RUIN your car.

Considering how much their damn boxes of salt leak, this seems normal for a warehouse.

Actually, that's an Acura dealership. And it looks like the service dept. Those cars are ones that people brought in for work.

There will be salt.

I was going to make a joke of this nature. Well played, good sir.
thraxFX
Oh my god the rust.
Ringshadow
Well if it's not raining or otherwise precipitating just the opposite will happen. The cars will be nicely cured.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
There's always moisture though. It does not take a lot. Besides, rust is the least of their worries...
hawger
If you used air to blow out/off the salt, like a leaf blower, it might not be too bad. Do not use water and try washing off.
sharkba1t
Leaf blower can!
Counterfit
Or use lots of water to dissolve and then rinse away the salt
Ringshadow
On reflection if a leaf blower is used we've just made a ghetto sandblaster. Goodbye paint.
TastyTastyScience
"Ghetto Sandblaster" (or maybe Soundblaster) is an amazing name for a rap group.
gunterleeds
This is Chicago. Trust me. Those cars were going to be covered in disgusting salty mush every winter anyway.
AdmiralHindsight
Oh my god the salt
notanoodle
The bricks ...
UpvotesForCalicos
Those cars are absolutely worthless now.
paddythelion
Not unless they actually broke from the weight of the salt. Pour some table salt on your car and see what happens: fuck all.
UpvotesForCalicos
"Some table salt" & THAT are two vastly different things. I mean, they're half buried in salt!
paddythelion
Salt is still salt, though :p

drbarrel

jrau18
Rust? But they're so preserved!
alexburgers
THIS! So ver much this! I'd never buy those cars, they'll rust to bits in no time flat.
paddythelion
Can't have rust without H2O, dude.
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
There is H20 in the air.
paddythelion
Not enough to cause oxidation in a matter of hours, until they can clean it up.
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
Prob gonna take more than a few hours to dig their car out and have it cleaned. Keep in mind they can't just wash it off.
pandorafalters
Keep rinsing until the water runs clean. Also the correct method for handling brake fluid on paint.
chut7
I'm with you on this...it will be nearly impossible to get the salt out of every crack (ie. the gaps between the doors and the windows).

You must be from The South. Northern mechanics are used to it. :)

ILikeToCallItLostWages
I find it difficult to believe there is an entire building that's there just to house salt.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
It might be for de-iceing the roads. And the factories that produce it have giant ass mountains of it.
iwaspromisedsnacks
just wait until you learn about grain silos!
ILikeToCallItLostWages
yeah but see, grain silos make sense. An empty warehouse without any sort of sifting/delivery mechanism? That seems odd.
NotSoSmartAlek
There are huge buildings JUST for salt along highways and in many neighborhoods, specifically for deicing.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
It might be for de-iceing the roads. And the factories that produce it have giant ass mountains of it.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
I'm not confused about the amount as I am by the seeming inconvenience of just having it sitting in a big box. Not a factory or anything
iBuildBombs
Seems legit...sauce: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Morton-Salt-Factory-Wall-Collapses-Spilling-Heaps-of-Salt-287138391.html
mediaman73
This was just one warehouse. If you drive past the Morton's plant, there are several huge buildings that obviously do just this.
SlayTheMuff
You obviously have no idea how much salt is used daily by people then
ILikeToCallItLostWages
That much I get, but an open building looking like a warehouse vs something like a silo or some containers seems odd
pandorafalters
It's very large & not cylindrical, but that is a silo. On that scale I'd assume either bucket loaders ("tractors") or subfloor handling.
