Someone in the government accidentally set the temperature too low and the snails all froze to death.

Plus the economic collateral damage due to increased fuel consumption for hundreds of thousands of vehicles daily due to rerouting or being stuck in traffic delays, local businesses impacted by decreased customer base, sleep deprivation because people will spend a significantly higher amount of time on their commute, reducing the amount of time sleeping. And it just goes on and on.

I see stuff like this happening on a regular basis but what doesn't show in the video is the years of pre-plan and site work to get ready. After that there's months (maybe a year?) of disruption for any regular traffic in the area on existing roads before the magic weekend installation. Once that is done there might another 6 months of getting things back to normal and finished landscape work. The final thought that sticks in my mind is not allowing enough time for the earth to settle properly so the assembly doesn't shift come the next rainy season. That seems to be a common problem with anything built in a hurry.
