In this case he was just using it for storage, didn't have dirt up against its walls, and didn't seem to address if he did anything to prevent it from rusting. Using it for his purpose (wine cellar) it will work beautifully - constant temperature, out of the way, etc. - and it provides a place to go if a tornado happens through the area. I didn't get the feeling he was building it to survive a prolonged nuclear zombie attack.
Those shipping containers are not designed to have weight pressing in on the sides. The only areas designed to have any weight on them are the corners.

gennys are only good until the gas runs out.I saw a guy with a bunker and hidden generator on the "preppers" show on Netflix.
His generator got stolen so they built a cage for it, then it got stolen again.
I don't think a generator will be safe when the world ends. Especially when it's actually running and drawing attention.
