That Was Way Too Close! Why No One Died in G.I. Joe (VIDEOS (80s Talk Post)
Someone is just noticing this now? We always used to mock GI Joe because of that reason. And that was back when it aired on after-school cartoons.
Do they still have after-school cartoons? Or did Nick blow that all away like Saturday morning cartoons?

Idiot rental truck driver destroys building canopy...
She must be tired since she's been running under a half collapsed awning in my head all night.

What idiot runs under a half-collapse awning? Of course, she's running from the direction of the truck...maybe we found the driver?

How Not To Use The Drive Through ATM
At 00:10 (03:01:13 on the camera timer) you can see the inner structure of the awning.

Do you have to build everything from plywood and spittle in the US?
Lucky for the driver though.
In Germany, he would have been crushed under tons of solid masonry or concrete.....but he wouldn't have been able to scratch it with his ridiculously big car/trailer in the first place......then again, we don't have that many drive though ATMs here.....and no cars that big.
Let's say, it probably wouldn't have happened here.......or anywhere except the US.

Yeah, there's no way a properly constructed awning should have come down like that, vs. just shearing off the roof of the camper.
Good quality construction in Texas? Hah! The last thing that was built properly around here was the Alamo.

Not fake, by the way. This happened in Shelby County (only in Texas). The dumbass driver was actually not trying to go through the drive-in ATM, but hit the corner of the awning as he was driving around the side of the bank. He and his ten-year-old son escaped unscathed.
""At approximately 3 PM, Tuesday, July 2, a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, pulling a new travel trailer, hit the corner of the Texas State Bank Drive-In on Tenaha Street, causing the complete awning to come to the ground. Luckily, the driver of the Dodge, Mickey Miller, of Garrison and his 10 year old son were able to exit their vehicle uninjured.
""According to Miller he was circling the bank to park on the other side when the corner of his travel trailer caught the corner of the bank awning. Next thing he heard was a rumble as the awning started falling against his driver's side door. Somehow he was able to unbuckle the seat beat and exit the other side of his truck as it was falling.
""Mark Ivy of Texas State Bank stated that the main lobby would be open for business while the drive-in is being repaired.""

Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943) Banned Looney Toons
Whoa. Upvote for being a significant work, but that was incredibly hard to watch. The energy and creativity are certainly there, but I literally had my hands over my face for large swatches of the movie.
Wikipedia
In addition, Martin "Dr. Toon" Goodman:
Because the film is a cartoon masterpiece, a cultural tour de force of 1940's America, and a vital example of how animation is often able to capture a nation's social nuances in ways that live-action films can never hope to do, Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs should be seen by animation fans and anyone else interested in the evolution of our cultural mythos. There is, however, a problem. The film contains what are today considered shockingly racist images. In fact, one might say that in some circles its reputation is blacker than coal. Defenders of this short are quick to point out that the cartoon was made without malice, meanness of spirit, and with the full cooperation of black performers who by all accounts found the cartoon hilariously entertaining. It has been noted that Clampett, by insisting on using Watso, Beals, and the Dandridges, struck a blow agaist the inherent racism of 1940's Hollywood. Again, the concept of black men (though in caricature) wearing US Army uniforms while performing heroic deeds has been lauded in some quarters as one of the few depictions of blacks in that sort of role during the war years. Beacause the country adopted racist attitudes, it has been reasoned, cartoons carried these images forth, as did radio, stage, and movies. For good or ill, such were the times.
Yet for many, the coat-of arms bearing dice and switchblades, the dice that serve as Prince Chawmin's front teeth, the wild-eyed jitterbigging, the black dialect, and the thick-lipped caricatures mark this cartoon as far from harmless. Even though Clampett may have meant to show the Teutonic Master Race that even the blacks they despised were a formidable foe to reckon with when gathered under the American flag, the racist images speak only of contempt, bigotry, and ridicule. Some feel that this cartoon is so offensive to African-Americans that it should be consigned to the censor's vault for all eternity, lest any showing of it at all spark an outpouring of anger, shame, and outrage among blacks and indeed, all who rightfully seek to eradicate racism from our society.
