Coool

00:14 With an idiot like that its only fair to hit their door!

Even more insane is apparently the driver wasn't even injured by the explosion. it happened in Indianapolis if you want to look it up, the news reported on it fairly heavily.

The 11’8” bridge is jealous it never got this kind of action

I want to know what the hell happened to cause it?

@@fungalcoffee some garbage trucks run on compressed natural gas, this one did and the gas tank happened to be on the top of the truck. after the top of the truck got damaged, the tank released all the compressed natural gas (which there was probably a lot of considering how much natural gas you can compress into a small tank) and something must have sparked it, possibly the friction from the brakes or pieces of metal falling off the truck (or even something as simple as the combustion happening inside the engine)

@@nmweissm I kind of assumed there was a gas line going across the bridge.

Same thing at about 2 mins 🫠

insurances hate this trick

And he's not even the only one in this set of clips.

Always gets me how people think they can have the right of way going the wrong way.

I think I'm more surprised by 1:56, where someone apparently went forward without looking. They had all the time in the world and then some to not hit the cammer. I know distracted driving is a thing, but that driver must hit someone two times a day and three times on weekends.

No kidding.

What was inside this truck looked like garbage truck? Apparently not.

Watch it again. There was a pilot car.

There is one, just way too far ahead

@@katokagome4670 Without a banner I wouldn't have any idea what the flags and lights meant, either.

He survived?? How did he survive that, it was so fast?

@@ellenkarlsson9490 It was a combination of things.

it's typically not that bad assuming you don't scrape the roof off by going under a short bridge. But yeah, if you plan on smashing into bridges I'd avoid natural gas tanks on the roof.

Well...baring a convertible treatment, in a normal front-read-side collission, the top is the safest place for it.

No kidding, it was like a slow moving disaster.

You didn't hear him commanding his car to "stop stop stop"? His brakes must not have been on voice activation mode. 😅

I think the speaker was in the passenger seat teaching a new driver. And that the person he's teaching either wasn't listening or thought he wasn't talking to them

@@AlphaHumphrey Yeah, I was trying to be funny. Unsuccessfully, of course.

@@teresabenson3385 no I chuckled lol

Fr dudes in a gta

That’s gotta be one of my favorites ever by this channel 😂 3 idiots, labeling them each with a Jesus Christ!!! After the 3rd 🤣

Bonus for listening to Mr. Charlie by the Grateful Dead.

The first and third ones I see all the time

Absolutely. Dude is sick of being behind the rolling roadblock going 30mph up the incline.

This is why I-40 needs 3 lanes across the state.

cammers reaction is completely justified 💀

I also find it annoying that the car could literally see a truck in the grass, and doesn't move over or anything

All has to do with whether it’s commercial or not commercial.

Everything about that clip is pain, literally everything, so many people don't deserve to be anywhere near a car, let alone a truck, let alone a truck with a trailer, at night especially.

😢 💀

Lady was not a fault but she has horrible situational awareness. She took like 4 seconds to hit the brakes!

This is in Washington, not BC

@@bcdm999 Thought it was local to me since we have a 116 Edmonds bus.

it makes me cringe

Lmao same, I had a big accident a girl lost control on the freeway not a month ago n the fuse for my outlet had blown a couple day prior

ok

I pray you’re ok ❤️

The only way a podcast is actually entertaining 😩

sometimes ive sped things up too but not ludicrous speed. that dudes podcast went plaid.

Blind people can understand things that are ridiculously fast. I don't think the cammer is blind, though. 😂

@@ellenkarlsson9490 🤣 my first thought was, must be a blind person. Oh wait...

Pretty sure the clip is sped up.

She could have tried braking tho

I'm gonna need to know if that person is still alive holy shit.

CNG trucks can do that when you hit them on those pesky bridges.

Brain scrambler

Good eye!

Yeah, what were they transporting???

Ya. I was like, that pickup is a little over the line but I see worse every day. Oh wait (wham), yeah, that's ba-- KABOOM.

@@IHateKZfaqHandles615 it's a garbage truck fueled by natural gas. From what other commenters said, it's a tank of compressed natural gas on top of the truck.

A Hollywood movie crash.

What point is there of it being a hood ornament for the wide load truck? By the point any oncoming vehicle sees it and tries to slow or pull over for the wide load, they're already in the load. It's the whole reason the front escort vehicle is required, the truck the load is on being marked up isn't enough for people to be able to react. The clip starts too late to really say they didn't warn the dashcammer more, but the escort vehicle appears to have been moving away from the centre of the road when the dashcammer approaches, and it's clearly marked with amber lights and I think it has the proper 'oversized load' banner on the bumper (although the dashcam isn't great to see it in the shade, and moving), but the dashcammer appears to have just moved right instead of slowing on seeing the escort vehicle probably on the centre line as it was first seen on the corner. The dashcammer had a vehicle with amber lights straddling the middle of the road on a corner they can't see around/aren't looking around. Not slowing down to be able to stop if a worker or digger or something is in the road is stupid. Despite not seeing enough at the start of the clip to be certain, I'd still be relatively confident, 80-85%, in saying it was all down to the dashcammer. On playing it again just before commenting, it sounds like they're on the phone. Even if it's hands-free, studies have proven it still reduces concentration on other tasks such as driving. The corner is also open enough that if they actually looked around the corner instead of just the blank bit of road immediately in front of their car, they would have seen the truck coming and how much the load was overhanging the kerb-side, and therefore could be reasonably expected to overhang the centre line. 99.9% on them.

@@markwright3161 What point is there of it being so far ahead of the wide load truck? People see the escort vehicle and don't recognise it's purpose, they just ignore it for being 'just another vehicle on the road', and do NOTHING.. Because they have no context for the vehicles purpose.

@@ColinRichardson The context is the lights and 'oversized load' sign. If a police car is blocking a road with blue lights on, but there's no obvious obstruction or incident in the road beyond it between it and the next corner, does that mean you can just drive around it because it's not obvious why it's blocking the road? Of course not. It has blue lights on and is in the middle of the road, maybe with cones, so you assume there's been a crash or something and take the detour. Trucks hauling oversized loads are often also over a weight allowed on the roads without special permits, etc, so cannot stop in as little space as a regular truck, which is already slow to stop compared to a car. Also, when the road has corners, etc, and/or long narrow sections where there isn't enough space for the load to pass any vehicles it might meet there, the escort vehicle needs to be far enough ahead to get oncoming vehicles to stop in a suitable location for the truck to pass, while the truck with the load is still moving, because momentum is very important, especially if the area is also hilly. So the front escort vehicle needs to be far enough ahead for oncoming vehicles to see it, be able to slow down, and pull over where there is an opportunity to do so, before the truck with the load gets there, without it being close enough to need that truck to need to slow for the oncoming vehicle to finish manoeuvring out of the way, and certainly without needing any vehicle to reverse. If there's a narrow bridge or similar narrow stretch on route, the escort vehicle needs to be far enough off/out the other side to get vehicles to stop before they reach the start of it before the truck as even reached the opposite side. And of course, the truck is moving towards that oncoming traffic, so halving the time the distance between them will be covered in, because the speed of each vehicle is added to each other, so the truck doing 40 mph and the oncoming car doing 60 mph means oncoming traffic effectively need the space to be able to slow from 100 mph left to be able to just get stopped in time, not including pulling off the road and whatever else might be needed for the truck to pass safely without needing to stop itself. They could also be meeting another truck, so imagine the distance one of them would need to stop from that higher speed, and find a large enough space to pull off the road without rolling (tipping onto its side) into a ditch, and manoeuvre into that space, all without making the oversized truck needing to stop. Again, saying the escort vehicle is too far ahead of the truck it's escorting defeats the purpose of having an escort vehicle. The whole point is to warn of the load approaching *before it's seen*, because seeing it is too late to be able to get out of the way. Look at when this driver saw it. Instead of reacting to the escort vehicle and slowing and pulling into that drive way, they drove themselves off the road to avoid crashing into the load, fortunately having the space to do so there. Had there been a barrier or ditch next to the road, they would have wrecked their car. If the escort vehicle is close enough to the oversized load to also see the oversized load in all conditions (given they're going around a corner here), that would be the result for every single vehicle they meet.

@@markwright3161 Can you show me the 'oversized load' sign?

@@ColinRichardson I believe there was a cloth type material version on the front bumper that was not possible to see clearly by us due to a combination of it possibly being dirty (but not so dirty you couldn't still see it clearly in person), a lower quality camera, motion blurring the text, it being in the shade, so looking darker to the camera than IRL as it adjusts to the much brighter surroundings, and then KZfaq compression just finishing it off to be impossible to see in this video. While trying to go as frame-by-frame as I can from the first moments of the clip starting, I feel there is aliasing on it's bumper that would correlate with black capital lettering, possible one of those 2 piece 'OVERSIZED' and 'LOAD' half signs, with the 'Oversized' lettering compressed horizontally to fit on the same sized bit of material as the 'Load' one to leave the central space in the bumper for the number plate/licence plate clear. Even if they didn't have one on that lead vehicle, something I've noticed with US videos is that all oversized vehicles have red flags, which that escort vehicle had on the roof, so that should be recognised as the same as an oversized load sign, just like an unmarked police car doesn't have to have 'POLICE' written on the side to be recongised as one when it is responding to something with blue lights on. I think it could still have had the 'Oversized Load' sign(s) though, because even the very clear one on the truck with the load is made to look white by the camera, and the text is barely visible until a lot later in the clip, when the dashcammer exits the curve, and is still distorted. Also, with a lot of fiddling, I think I've seen a couple of frames of 'OAD' showing through the aliasing on the left side (their driver's side) of the bumper when full screen in 1080p on my laptop.

Okay I literally did laugh out loud at this comment! Wasn't expecting to laugh, but you made it happen. Thank you!

The person talking is likely the passenger communicating to the driver who is either oblivious or a new driver.

It's a guy teaching his kid how to drive.

He's yelling stop at his kid, who's a new driver.

@@SpinDip42069 This is why people should go to driving schools instead of parents. They can actually stop the car and prevent damage 😂

it was hilarious

I know I’m late, but it’s not. It happened in Indiana in November last year. Thankfully no one was hurt. Long story short they put the natural gas cylinders on top of the trucks as 99% of accidents involving a garbage truck aren’t going to involve impact with the roof of the vehicle. The reports also state the bridge is notorious for these sort of incidents with the guy who lives next to the bridge calling it the second worse crash in the 8 years he’s lived there.

ye the real dumbass is the one recording not on the radio saying hey let’s clear out

EASILY avoidable situation by braking, I saw that car trying to change lanes seconds before cammer

I think if you cause things like this to happen, you should have the ability to drive removed.. I don't mean remove your licence.. that means nothing, I mean remove body parts until it is physically impossible for the person to drive.

Looks like one stupid driver

I thought it was Russia

Gas explosion, someone else said it must have had a natural gas tank in the top part of the truck, and something sparked it after the bridge damaged it

@@draconicusmathiusanytherio7630 that's terrifying

He farted❤
