Unusual Reinforcements and Final Conclusion

What happens here

The presenter spots another unusual element in the wall's construction while driving. He observes a section where an 'I-beam' or 'channel' has been used to hold the timber in place, questioning if this is a standard practice and referring to it as 'junk.' Further along, he points to a 'monster, huge tie-back plate' that he claims 'did absolutely nothing' to prevent the wall's failure, clearly showing the significant bulge in the timber wall. He concludes by reiterating his stance that 'timber retaining walls are a no-go, not ever,' emphasizing the visual proof of their failure.

Goal: Examine atypical, ineffective reinforcements and conclude on the unsuitability of timber for retaining walls.
