#2I would have described flipping it over before collapsing. The title seems a clickbait, but is no quite that.
Keep in mind that most of the iceberg is off camera, as shown during the first minutes. It lost 80% or 90% of its total mass but most of it isn't seen until the end, when the iceberg goes back to the right.

#5It stops first? Maybe the bottom hit the seafloor?

One of the comments said just that. "Grounded near disko bay" iirc.
Another comment said that icebergs melt blow water faster than in the air and that flipping is a fairly common thing to do because the center of gravity changes.

#8Structural review clearly got skipped. Somebody is losing their job over this.

#9I would have thought it would generate enormous wave, but that's clearly not the case. I think some of the biggest waves was generated by a mountain sliding or collapsing in the sea. I expected something similar here. Anyone know why not?

#10Honestly, my first thought watching this video is "I want a root beer float." Something in the way the icefalls as the iceberg is flipping over just makes me think of that...
