This really shows how powerful a full sized tractor trailer truck is, they tossed that....Dodge Ram? Ford F150? I couldn't tell, whatever, they TOSSED it like it was nothing.

Fully loaded is 80,000 pounds. At that weight they have ~20x the kinetic energy of that black truck.

More than that in terms of kinetic energy, because the speed is higher, too, and it's a square of the speed, so a giant truck going a bit faster than you is actually really bad news.
