You'll see. As you get older you'll find you'll see better if it's quiet. Sometimes, we even hear better when we put our glasses on! 😂

@@sarahjeannepeterson5536 Agreed!

I've done that! Questioning and even laughing at myself even as I reached for the dial. More humorous is doing it while hubby drove and we saw an accident almost happen. I questioned myself, but didn't laugh...until I watch as he turns his head slowly to my hand on the dial, then to my face, the dial, my face, two slow blinks, and to the road. He married me for a reason. I see with my ears, taste with my nose, hear with my eyes and smell with my mouth. All other parts work normal, but I do wear my heart on my sleeve.

Yupp, maps are really good things to show where places are!

Haha, the last Thai truck episode first shows a truck driving in Europe before it switched to Thailand. oh well.

@reddwarfer999 Dah map dun be pikshure wif stuff on it! 😃

It's pretty flat there so I think the train was already stopping. It just couldn't stop soon enough.

The train engineer had already applied the emergency brake. When the collision occurred the speed of the train was probably 10 mph at most. Remember the wheel rail interface is very small and the adhesion coefficient is really low compared to that of an automobile. A freight train travelling at 69 mph needs over a mile to come to a complete stop.

That's a moving van. I hope someone didn't have some irreplaceable items destroyed.

Conductor slams on the brakes. Sheesh, 38 years an engineer.

I was expecting to hear some metal screaching or at least sparking. Train engineers like to wreck people on the tracks, I would.

To a bug that's an F5 tornado.

I did that at my uncle’s ranch in Texas. It looks pretty harmless until you feel the wind pick you up like you’re a feather. Dirt in my eyes, ears, nose, mouth, everywhere,🤣🤣, but as a 10 year old boy with other 9-13 year olds, we never had so much fun. Our mothers wanted to kill us😡. An F4 had just been reported about 25 miles away from us 😳. So that ended the fun that day.

It sure does sound like a lot of unforgettable fun. Once in a lifetime fun.. maybe! 🤔 🌪👀 🌪🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♂️

A good landing no doubt

I noticed that too!

Exactly. After the narrator didn't mention it, I was looking through the comments to see if I was the only one who noticed it.

Christ alive, you're right! What a lucky soul

@@thewood1001 Yeah, I couldn't believe I didn't see any comments about that guy.

Though exactly the same… 5 seconds slower and he’d have been nothing more than a stain on the road

I wondered why those lanes of traffic appeared to be stopped already before the rocks fell. I wonder if he stopped them?

If the instructor is licensed to fly the plane but doesn't have a driver's license can he be cited for driving on the highway without a license?

@@francoamerican4632 He could be but he can go to court and get it thrown out.

That lady in shotgun is so nosy. Acted so concerned she made driver to pull over and check it out so get full story. If she cared so much she wouldn’t have been too scared to get out of car to ask. The guy she was scared of.

It's a transformer. You weren't supposed to point that out.

Dah pilot dun gone pee-pee !

Exactly what I was thinking.

Yup, 100% agree. He couldn't make it to warn him, but parked in front, and prepared his phone to record? Bullshit.

Certainly nothing that I would mess with. I was driving in Northwestern IL and saw a dark funnel cloud form beside me. I pulled over to watch it and remember thinking "that looks like the finger of the Devil poking at the earth! I was close enough to see the pieces of debris swirling around. When it changed direction and began to move toward me, I highs failed it out of there! 😮

That cliff collapse was almost certainly not the first one. There would have been numerous smaller fall that authorities chose to ignore. It's China so probably because the power from above had not micromanaged the job.

They never happen in a flat land like Indiana or Florida. We just get tornadoes and hurricanes. Everybody gets something. If you get nothing, you get bored.

Hahahaha.....thanks for this comment. I was looking through out all the comments, hoping I wasn't the only one who realized that someone was peeing. I wasn't sure if I was imagining it. It's funny that the video plays in slow mo in that part.

@@SUICIDALODST yeah, I guess the editor didn't realise what was really happening

But don't wait to find out!

I saw the roll of toilet paper in his/him she/her they/them hand.

Yeah she waves off the camera because she's taking a shit 🤣🤣🤣

I think you are right! It literally frightened the crap out of him!

It’s his sister taking a pee.

or it was a woman taking a wizz

Ohh he felt it ! That's why he is in the road still on the other side. Fk what Jim says! Eventually caught up with him ? ...lmao wtf ever! Jim's a tool! Prob has a dog that eats peanut butter!...ANYWHERE!!!!!

Yep , laughed my butt off ! Hit it and kept on going .🤣🤣🤣 That had to about put him against the windshield .

You have lived an exciting life. I'm glad you're OKAY.

@@joeyoung4121 it was hours of sheer boredom with a few minutes of excitement but these 3 just scratch the surface. I could write a book.

Try it! You'll like it!

@@chrisdevalcourt648 I always turn down the radio when I am looking for the turn. I don't get people that don't.

@@PaulsWanderings I agree! It does seem to help me focus on what ever the situation is.

Interesting! Thanks! Usually, you think of squeezing under an overpass. I don;t think I've ever seen a sign that says "Ground elevation 4 feet", or whatever. It would involve distance between axles of course, or a measure of curvature that could be easily used.

@@davesmith5656 If you haven't already, look up the 11 foot can opener bridge videos. What you said has in fact been done and even more so. A home owner put up several cameras to catch the traffic and many many truck accidents where the tops of every truck going by, has been torn right off, like a can lid, hence the nickname The Can Opener Bridge. Traffic lights, Large LED panels that display to the driver "to high, turn around!!" , 11 foot high bridge, severe damage, it's all been said and done, yet hundreds of trucks got their tops torn off anyways, thinking the message isn't for them.

@@sirxanthor That bridge used to be 11'8", since raised another 8".

Yes, definitely weird owner, bad maintenance or tried a ridiculous work-around, or his dealer has a very weird mechanic. Looked the guy left it in neutral, probably missed park in his hurry to pop the hood. Fuel pump hose broke or not clamped tight? Blown gasket over the fuel injectors? Did he shut the engine down, or leave it running?

Nope, al gore global warming!

I bet Wile E. Coyote had something to do with that IF he was trapping the Road Runner.

Yes, but it was a joke.

​@@davesmith5656 lol

Works for me!

I've seen a dust devil rip boards off a scaffolding and actually collapse part of the structure. They are not something to be messed with.

@@davidelliott5843 that's no longer a dust devil.

Living in a desert, I see them fairly regularly and never really gave them a 2nd thought. But one day a relatively small one snuck up on me and attacked a creosote bush about 3 feet away. I was amazed at this little things power. It devastated that poor bush. Leaves, twigs ripped to hell. Made me appreciate exactly how powerful those things can be. It wouldn’t have killed me, but no doubt would’ve hurt like crazy, maybe even tearing the skin

@@oooof6861 I have a feeling my little brother 'might' have thought he was tough enough to handle most anything. He was an accomplished football player as well as getting 6th place at heavyweight Iowa high school state wrestling as a junior. Yeah, my two younger brothers were ugh, jocks. My youngest brother got 6th as a junior and 1st place as a senior also heavyweight. They both got full-ride scholarships in football at the university of South Dakota. Sure, I'm proud of their accomplishments in 1979 and 1985 but sports aren't that important to me. BTW, I'm 65 now, 5' 11" and weigh my wrestling weight when I was a sophomore... 132 and not athletic. Bad weather around the country... stay safe X. Oops, almost forgot. My youngest brother lives in Apache Junction, the desert is his backyard, ugh again. No offense but I couldn't live in a desert. I guess I prefer here where it's 19F right now, bright sun and moving 10" snow w/my acreage tractor. Gotta get back to it!

I imagine that in Iowa, you have more powerful windstorms than dust devils to worry about. Have you ever been near a twister?

Exactly what I thought! He had time to pull over, get his phone out and start filming.

Gotta get that footage! American way..

Harsh! You don't know what efforts had been made prior to this - trying to drive alongside a collision in the making wouldn't have helped, whereas footage could help solve many questions, including possible damage to the bridge.

They build roads over there like a mortise into a mountainside.

Create a cliff without safely bolting the wall invites a collapse. It's a cheap jack road build that's no doubt still killing people.

I wonder if he ate the steering wheel when he hit the overpass . . . you can see how the impact bent the truck's frame in the rear, the rear duals are tilted inward.

​@checkyoursix5623 yeah, what was he on that he didn't notice that jolt⁉️

Those ice conditions are normal in winter here in Scandinavia. Probably in north USA as well. We use tires for winter. Soft rubber, cut for better friction and often studs. They are required by law, from dec 1 to april 1 if winter conditions.

@@andvil01 That makes sense, and yes in the Northern USA and Canada, those kind of conditions people are used to. In Western Washington, especially at lower altitudes, we'll have the occasional freak snow storm with mild ice. But the flash freeze that we had prior to Christmas and the winter freeze in Texas; no good. If you look for Washington Freeze Dec 23 2022, youll no shortage of videos of people trying to drive on the ice

Yes. I lived in North Carolina and the ice there is worse than here in Chicagoland. My home was at the top of a hill and I literally had to back up to a dry patch of road than accelerate as fast as I could. It took me a couple of tries before I crested the hill. Winter is indeed much worse in Chicagoland, but the severity is balanced out by the billions of dollars expended on snow removal infrastructure.

I don't know if you're from Brazil or not, but man, I love my country 😅😂

@@leicsonpalhano4565 I'm not but I'm determined to visit for carnival. My Bday is in February and that would be a great bday trip!😂

That's why you're supposed to engage the safety interlock, which prevents such things from happening, but because it's usually under the seat and "inconvenient", it's rarely used.

I agree, this is why video from the origin of where the dump truck needs to be taken so that it can be used as a counter to a car driver's cell phone video, which is only telling the point of the story from the person in the car filming it's point of view. The video that's used in this list doesn't show everything just everything from the car driver's point of view and not the construction site/truck origin's point of view. This phone/dashcam video isn't valid evidence that the truck driver is dumb...it's just playing on our assumption that they are. I think the driver of the truck was unaware that the bed wasn't locked down after bringing it down so that the faulty valve could push it back up slowly. Maybe it isn't the driver but the mechanic's (that let this truck be used because probably he didn't do a very detailed check of the bed hydraulics and just allowed it to be used in that condition) fault.

Disengage the PTO so there's no way for the box to rise, right?

No "Trunk open" light? Rear view mirrors and wind resistance aren't good? I'm not being funny, just curious. Those things aren't inexpensive trucks, I've heard. That one looked pretty nice compared to some I've seen.

@@52ponybike Yes, and engage the lock. Normally this is not necessary, but of course it must be done. But if you've been driving that truck for several years without problems, you don't think about the fact that it might become defective at some point. The fact that he doesn't see it in the mirrors is a mystery though.

Immaturity has its perks, eh?

@@52ponybike more perks then Iowa, ewww

@@JazznRealHipHop Really? Well then, stop eating our food if you don't like Iowa.

What’s cute about it? That woman was extremely annoying

I guess you have never driven in ice.

@@DragerPilot never driven a semi either.

the truck was high centered over the tracks. Truck driver was dumb, he shouldn't have tried to cross at all if he knew anything.

Like the old saying ; to keep the elephant from charging - take away his credit cards

@@maxguod My first smile of the day, thank you Max.

@@Hattonbank You are welcome -

@@maxguod Or Break out a White mouse ! All elephants are afraid of them for some reason.

I've actually seen footage of elephants bluff charging people. One was of this massive bull bluff charging a cameraman; he even managed to keep the camera still. I guess you're supposed to stand your ground. It shows them you're not a threat but that you're also not afraid of them. You never want to run because they're going to catch up and may gore you with their tusks, trample you or both.

I know the video is from Toronto, Ontario near the airport.

And I proved it too!

There usually is a light indicating the PTO is engaged. Not all drivers look.... sadly... like this one. When I drive then (26 years) I had a routine... first disengage the PTO... second... pull forward to empty the bed... third... switch the hoist lever into the "lower" position.

@@justpassingthrough9887 Then they should make it so the truck won't go over a certain speed when the dump is up. If this safety feature was in dump trucks then this wouldn't happen

They're the same.... buses too.

@@justpassingthrough9887 what? All trucks have to stop now? I usually did anyway if it was safe to stop.

And passengers. You're right. Nice to see your comment.

I think this depends on the country, but yes... definitely the case where I'm from too.

Thank you for posting this correction. You're correct, according to the FMCSA here in the US, only commercial vehicles carrying passengers or placarded hazmat loads are legally required to stop. Good spotting. I was looking for this comment as I knew I couldn't be the only one to catch it.

@@soulman888 same here!

@@soulman888 How do these trucks get "stuck" on the tracks? Is the landing gear getting hung up on the tracks or something? Doesn't make any sense. Put that damn truck in gear and rip that damn landing gear off then!
