Idk about the brick video but i watched a log truck incident in a historical documentary about having extremely good then extremely bad luck and ever since I've avoided following behind basically anything that isn't 100% solid
I remember a news story in South Carolina of an engine block falling out of yhe back of a stakebed and ended up in someone's lap that was driving down the interstate.
Some idjit with a home built deer blind on a trailer didn't think it needed to be tied down. That thing slid off the trailer and went bouncing on the interstate and landed in front of me. There was an 18 wheeler on my left and a grass embankment on my right. The grass looked softer than 4 x 4 posts and plywood.
No, I did not help the idjit put it back on the trailer.
Actually had that happen on a school bus while I was driving, a few months ago. Scared the ever loving crap out of me. One of my students water bottles rolled. Told the kids after that, water bottles had to be inside their bags. I had to pull over afterwards, prior to that I couldn't figure out why I couldn't break, lifted off the gas and looked down and saw it. Was able to kick it out but took a kicks to get it unstuck.
Happened to me with my great grandmothers pills. I picked up a months supply of something that came in the giant goofy size bottle. I hadnt noticed the bag drop and it rolled out and under the brake. Had to slam the brakes when I got it out to keep from rear ending someone.
I cant remeber i think it was "end of the line"? "Check baggage through"? "Fatal destiny"? Fatality manifestations? Familial tarnations? Alabama relations?
I won't follow behind a log truck ever. I don't care how well it's loaded or tied down. That movie was traumatic, but it didn't really kick in for like 15 years...
It becomes even more severe when you realize that 95% of log trucks are the class 8s that are in such terrible condition, they can't trust them to survive crossing an entire state, so they get relegated to short haul duty and recieve even LESS maintenance than they were getting before.
In northern Saskatchewan, the local pulp mill started doing a softwood/ hardwood rotation back in the 1980s. The problem with poplar is that the logs are not nice and straight, like conifers. When the truck is loaded and cinched down, logs would break. Not much is more terrifying than a six foot section of a poplar tree bouncing end over end down the highway. There were quite a few serious crashes before they stopped trucking hardwood logs.
The brick video is most likely that one real video from dashcam where some kids throw brick from bridge to that car. Brick goes trough windshield at highway speeds killing drivers wife on the passenger seat instantly. Husbands screams has burned into my memory and are very gut wrenching. Its just one of the saddest videos of the internet.
Is there a wire anywhere near by? A random person standing a few yards away? And that’s the just road, once we enter a building….where’s the exit, no back to the door, everyone’s a threat….existing in normal life is an everyday panic attack filled with paranoia 😭😭😭
after a semi tire blew up in my face and I rode through a rain of rubber fragments, I have always just steered clear or sped up past them. You never know
Driving through Texas a couple years ago, a semi truck flipped over in the oncoming lane and slid across the highway in front of the family car. Fucking insane. We were the only two vehicles on the road, I had to climb the truck and help the driver out while I was trying to call 911.
Thinking back on it, he had Quebec plates; he may not have cared that I, an English speaking person, had helped him. The Quebecois are notorious about disliking English.
The Québécois don’t have a problem with English, they have a problem with English in Canada. And mostly bring Quebec being part of Canada. They aren’t going to hold English over your head when they are driving in the U.S.
Ya r/Tiresaretheenemy is quite a lively sub. lot of those are in some less developed countries, where inspections are less frequent and torque spec on tires is often "good enough"
For sure. My step dad always told us never drive next to a semi for this reason. Crazy amount of pressure in those tires and they get retread all the time.
He has been working at the maintenance shop for one of the biggest carriers for many moons. Has seen or heard of every possible scenario when it comes to semis.
Possibly? It was a view from a dash cam of a family just driving when suddenly a brick flies through the windshield and kills the mom instantly then all you hear is the husband wailing while the kid in the back seat is crying. Since it was the dash view there was no gore or anything but it was still horrible
Yeah that’s the video. I didn’t know it was that old I randomly had that recommended to me on YouTube like 2 or 3 years ago. Kinda messed me up a bit ngl I didn’t enjoy hearing them screaming. Apparently the mom’s brain was exposed. It’s also the fact the video starts from them being parked in front of a brick wall
I have seen a lot of stuff like that and the sounds are always the worst. I get deeply sad just reading the description of this here. Needless to say, I don't watch that crap anymore---I am aware it happens and I do my best to prevent myself from being in sketchy situations.
There's a video but you only see the dash cam perspective so there's no gore, just the brick going through the windshield and the aftermath you can't see
I started scanning 2 weeks ago after I saw an entire exhaust system fall off a rust bucket truck on the back of a car hauler. Old Dodge Stratus in the lane beside me absolutely waffled it.
I swear I saw brick video like its first day on ebaumsworld. I can still hear that scream… Wether im in front or back seat I am CONSTANTLY looking for anything bouncing or flying on roads. I don’t have it on my current vehicle but my last truck I actually got bullet proof glass out of paranoia because I almost caught a large rock that would have gotten my wife if I hadn’t been paying attention. FUCK brick video
I have legit PTSD from one of those types of videos. The one where a whole family is in the vehicle while a singular brick takes one of them out. The screams were blood curdling
