Vintage Ceiling Fan Display Falls Down - 1983 News Report

In 1983 a ceiling fan display in Miami located at the Home Owner's Warehouse collapsed, and a brief news story was video taped on the subject. Looks like they mostly carried Emerson fans.
I also fixed the audio so that it always plays in stereo instead of mono.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own this footage. This is only being posted so that more fan collectors can view and enjoy it.

Man I see some awesome fans on that display but I can definitely tell you the weight wasn’t distributed properly

Did we ever find out why it collapsed since then?

[@CeilingFanRescue]

I don’t know, probably not built strong enough to support the weight of the fans

@@CeilingFanRescue it’s probably a good thing none of those were Hunter originals… hopefully

Was this at a Walmart?
