Forget rain drops on windows. Nothing induces calm like the completely random sound of bricks gently falling.

In this video, construction workers set up bricks to fall down like dominoes. You think it's just a normal domino set up, but oh wait, there's a plot twist.

These bricks had you fooled.

Could bricks get more exciting than this? Of course not. They're bricks. But this is still pretty great.
