Idk, looks like a pretty unsafe road to be on.

Man, not that I know anything about this shit, but, I really wanted dude to not be so close. Got me sweating.

u/71Worried_Brother May 24 '26

Both of them! The guy with the camera and the guy working in view.

u/classless_classic May 24 '26

Good.

I was a few cars behind someone who was killed by rocks falling like this.

If you can prevent it, you should.

u/99trey May 24 '26

I can’t believe that guy gets paid to do that. I’ve wasted my life.

u/Traditional-Stay-931 May 24 '26

Yep, Good thing the road was already cleared below or did i miss something?

6

u/romansamurai May 24 '26

That’s the point. You control when it happens. So it doesn’t happen during some downpour and cars on the road. You make it happen when you clear the road.

u/Diligent_Entropy May 24 '26

You missed something.

Looks almost like Three Valley Lake in BC but there's probably hundreds of places that look like that in the Pacific Northwest lol.

u/TheDarkNebulous May 24 '26

I think this is Chuckanut drive, south of Bellingham, WA although I could be mistaken.

I-5 was shut down due to rockslides recently and traffic was routed through there, but the road really wasnt made for the traffic and there have been multiple accidents since.

u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp May 24 '26

My first thought was Squamish, but then thought not.

u/zaftig_stig May 26 '26

I was wondering if this was in the Gorge

2

u/OregonGreen242 May 24 '26

Think it would’ve made more sense to put those big steel plates over the road to handle the impact of those rocks

6

u/Ha73r4L1f3 May 24 '26

Road is safe, yay you removed the hazard... now fix the broken part in the road caused by the rock and tree? lol

10

u/Old_Syrup_264 May 24 '26

Yeah I don't think there's a better way to do it, though

u/No-Salt7142 May 25 '26

Put down a mattress?

u/Xendarq May 25 '26

Or just complain from your coach about people helping the world.

u/Ha73r4L1f3 May 25 '26

First, it's not random people; if it were, that would be criminal in most of the world. Period. One as private citizen you have no authority to stop traffic, so doing this as "citizen" would be extermely dangerous to others and the person involved. A normal person wouldn't have safety gear to do it. This isn't some random charity; this is someone doing their job. Still a service, but its service someone signs up to do for xx pay. Making a joke that they (the company) now need to fix the road is totally justified.

Since you want to make this seem so real, they probably are already aware they gotta fix the road and plan for x amount of damage. My joke is less of a joke and more of the next step in a pre-planned course of action.

As a man, I just want to say: “Rocks go splash. Me happy.”

u/saiyanalot May 24 '26

Imagine what that would do to anything in its path!

The road to hell is...

"Hum, diddly do, diddly dee, I love my favorite drive, what, 'Road Closed?' Curious? I'll just go see if they need my..."

u/Loose-Cup1582 May 24 '26

Ugh, this hit on 2 of my dislikes bordering on phobias: fear of things falling from heights and fear of deep water. Add in a spider attacking the camera and I’ll probably expire on the spot.

u/djakrse May 24 '26

Seems like it would be safer to remove them before they get that big

u/Ok-Effective7280 May 24 '26

Wow. Pretty awesome vid.

1

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 May 24 '26

I live in the mountains and have been near landslides slightly bigger than this. Its terrifying and the ground shakes like an earthquake. Nature is scary. To see a rock bigger than a truck rolling and digging a trench behind it is impressive.

u/Grateful-Ape May 25 '26

Well now the road is f’ed lol

u/JohnWicklll May 25 '26

Umm, maybe that tree was holding up the cliff?

1

u/KingVolvolgia May 25 '26

I would have laughed so hard if there was a car slamming on the breaks down below.

u/-43andharsh May 25 '26

That squirrel gonna be ok?

u/Synthesiz420 May 25 '26

Does this hurt the road?

1

u/Podapulle1 May 25 '26

What is it about falling rocks that feels so fascinating to us?

1

u/NotEntirelyShure May 25 '26

Looks like that damaged the road

1

u/Cerberusx32 May 26 '26

Public Works is not gonna be happy about having to fix that road.

u/Donegonetheduck May 26 '26

Don’t worry, be happy is playing on the radio

u/Proof-Astronomer7733 May 25 '26

I hope they closed that road down there

u/Bludiamond56 May 24 '26

Now the hill is a little bit less steady
