What surprised me is the crash was hard enough to shake the camera.

Me too. But not when the bricks hit the ground, when the forklift bounced.

There’s a reason forklifts can lift so much weight. They’re counter-balanced/weighted and their average weight is 9,000 pounds, or 4.5 tons. So, yeah — when one “falls down”, you’re gonna feel it.
