Look closley at the left top of the machine

if the machine did it its self it would be be bent out NOT in. STAGED with out a doubt!

Also do you REALLY believe

With that much movement of a object that large the detergent bottles would still be standing up? I may have been born at night but it damn sure wasnt last night!

I retract my firm standing that it was not staged. You guys make a good case.

I will go back into my cave....

A real case of front-loader suicide

If memory serves, someone posted a case of a self-destructing front loader on here back in '07 or so. It was a Bosch front loader; they left the house for a bit with it running (a mistake!)

When they got back, they found that the machine had gone out of control - perhaps an out of balance/overspeed situation. It had banged around in the laundry area causing havoc until it bashed its way through the wall/doorway. When it stopped it was sticking out in the hall and the fill hoses were still attached. The LED display readout still read "ERR" if I recall.

A picture was posted and it looked legit. The machine was very banged up, but it had not "exploded." The machine was apparently not repairable and the surrounding walls had to be repaired. I wish I could locate that thread! That would have been quite a sight to see in progress. Lesson learned: Don't leave the house with major appliances running.

I found it - it was on the GardenWeb washer forum:
