Any follow-up information?
Scary stuff, if the trucks can't stop in time to avoid a highly visible explosion and fire, they clearly couldn't stop in time if traffic stopped. This video should be a part of truck driver training.

GTA V - Semi Truck Stunt

jmd says...

#1 not fake.. both were going in the same direction at the same speed, it is just the truck made a great recovery and the game isn't to picky about the location of both vehicles to latch the trailer back on.

#2 does not need a lot of retakes.. the guy was simply pulling stunt jumps with a tractor trailer and this happened. You only need to do it once and capturing the stunts in game is super easy (it was designed to always be recording game data on a loop, so anything happens you just hit a key to close and save the loop).

Helicopter films tractor-trailer being DESTROYED by tornado

AeroMechanical says...

All that mass has to come from somewhere. That's typically the way it works, anyways.

I find it hard to believe that helicopter can generate enough lift to stay airborne with such massive balls on board.

I believe the buoyancy created by the pure vacuum between their ears provides enough lift to counter the increased weight.

April;30 0 0 United StatesElettsville, Indiana The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) claimed responsibility for causing over $500,000 in damages to construction equipment in Elettsville, Indiana. Fourteen pieces of logging and construction equipment were destroyed by the perpetrators, who filled gas tanks with sand, cut fuel and hydraulic lines and set a tractor-trailer filled with wood chips on fire. Graffiti found at the scene read, "Go develop in Hell," "ELF" and "This machine is evil." The equipment was being used for a state-run project to build a four-lane highway in the area. In their written statement, the group writes, "the government and developers are mad with greed and there will be no limit to what they destroy until we take away the profit from their schemes."[48]

Truck Fail Compilation

HollywoodBob says...

>> ^PostalBlowfish:
Take this idea further. Intelligence and emotional maturity tests in addition to the driving test, every two years, for EVERY driver of EVERY vehicle. Many drivers are just as dangerous as this. Oh, and yes I can see how a compilation of just the worst moments in the lives of some truck drivers should be taken as the baseline average of truck driving. Seriously? Really?
You are probably more dangerous in whatever you drive than the average truck driver. And you get away with having far less responsibility on the road than they have. I think if I decide to just drive my car into a random truck when they can do nothing to avoid it, they will be seen by law as the responsible party.


I'd be in favor of basing drivers licensing on more factors than merely rote memorization of a skinny pamphlet of mostly common sense rules. As well as periodic recertification for all drivers.

I'm sure I'm likely remembering the numbers incorrectly but, something like only 4% of all traffic accidents involve a big rig, and of those only 25% are the fault of the tractor trailer driver. So 1% of all traffic accidents are the fault of a semi-truck driver. Mind you, I admit that my numbers are probably off, but I don't believe that they're that far off.

Semi with box trailer gets blown over !!
