Box truck explodes in flames on Minnesota highway

Surveillance video of Brightline crash

BSR says...

After impact it took 29 seconds for the train to stop. Engineer will need a cab ride back to the crash site.

Car Hauler Vs Amtrak train

Ashenkase says...

Looking up at speed, especially if there was a curve could derail the train. That train was at speed and even if the engineer locked it up it would have been the same result. Another reason why the brakes might not be engaged is that the engineer ducked down into a part of his cab that is a bit more safe... remember those guys take the brunt of these types of collisions sometimes. I really feel for the poor truck driver... he sounds like his livelihood just vanished and he is realizing it.

Ok, I understand the train likely couldn't stop in time, but it sure looked like it didn't even try to slow down. Was there even a driver up front watching the tracks? It appears to be a long straight track section with excellent visibility. I would expect the train to be under full emergency braking before the impact, but it doesn't look like it is. Hmmmm.

Testing Your Metal

StukaFox says...

I was riding the bus in Paris, and all the streets in Paris were designed for anorexic horses in the 17th century and fuck you for trying to fit your fat-ass 21st century car down them -- much less a huge city bus. So we're squeezing down this street and we come across a moving truck blocking the road. I, as an America, am awaiting horns, swearing and automatic weapon fire. Instead, the driver stops the bus, turns it off, hops off and goes and has a smoke. The people in the bus were being totally French about it: not a murmur of complaint.

Two years later, I was in Canada and some dude cut off a taxi at a light. Out hops the taxi driver to confront the driver of the other car. I start scanning for my exit once pop-pop-pop / muthafuckas drop gets underway. Instead of a spray of bullets, or at least an amusing fist fight, the taxi driver shakes his finger at the guy and gets back in his cab.

I live in mortal fear of getting shot on the road in America over some stupid bullshit (this actually happened to me once: some asshole in Cupertino cranked off three rounds at my car when I accidentally cut him off). It's so amazing to visit civilized countries and see people acting decent and calm to each other.

Pickup Truck Flies Off Overpass

luxintenebris jokingly says...

"we can laugh about it now!"

have been over that bridge.

nothing like that but did have a tie-rod come off while crossing a bridge over a river. high bridge/deep water. manage to get across (steering wheel only worked moving to the left), stopped, discovered the tie-rod hanging free. gee. that could have been hazardous.

a guy working with drove us off a 10' cliff. no damage to the truck or us. other than getting hit in the neck with the cab roof, and swearing at him for not wearing his glasses...it turn out okay.

2020 Jeep Wrangler Rolls Over In Small Overlap Crash Tests

newtboy says...

Do jeeps not come with roll bars anymore? Mine has a full cage with 4 point seatbelts, it's nearing 50 years old.

I'm also curious to see other cars tested this way. I bet most flop over in this test, that or have the front wheel or crash wall inside the cab at the end. Yes, 4x4s roll easier, but most are made stronger AND have extra safety like roll bars. If you wear a seatbelt, you wouldn't be ejected.

They're Made Out of Meat

Turkey broke into my truck

newtboy says...

The cab has two. It entered through the passenger side, evidenced by the fact that he says "go out the same way you came in" with only the passenger door open....but blocked by the driver.
He shut the passenger side and opened both freeway side doors, then shooed it out into traffic.
I stand by my statement.

The sleeper only has one side door!

Satan sings 'Minnie the Moocher'

newtboy says...

Since he was dressed as Satan, not Cab Calloway, I 100% agree. It's only racist against demons, and they like that.

Sagemind said:

Calling Red face, and not even that red.
Red turns black when converted to B/W, and his face is brighter than 50% Grey.
Blackface implies racism today, and this had no racism connotations to it at all.

Beyond The Crash - The Worst News Of Your Life

newtboy says...

Where i live, you can't get a cab or Uber for $15.....but you can get drunk or high for that pretty much anywhere.

Odd, I've never heard the church speak out against vasectomies.
Mine didn't cause my Sodam and Gamorrahn sex life, it just kept me from having kids that would have ended it. ;-)

Edit: side note....why is there a "crime" of sodomy, but not gamorrahy? ....@shinyblurry ?

Payback said:

The people spending $10-$15 bucks to get drunk enough to rate a free cab ride are too stupid to walk and breathe, let alone drive.

It's kinda like the Catholic belief that promoting condom use will lead to Sodom and Gamorrah levels of fucking.

I like the valet idea....or surrendering your car keys when you order drinks.
Free cabs would have people getting tipsy to get a free ride too often, I think.

Not sure how the drive through bars in Houston would handle either. (If they still exist)

Payback said:

Provide free cab service to anyone blowing over legal limit.

No public street parking within 5 blocks of a bar, after daylight hours. Free valet parking, although you have to blow clean to get your car back.
