The interesting thing here is that when something buckles, it's not the material failing like when you crush a cake. It can buckle well before you reach the force needed to break the steel under compression.
- philo23 4y agoDefinitely the same kind of buckling. Here's an example from a couple of years ago in the news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-44658254 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-44658254 Check Google images for some more extreme examples.
