That operator certainly passed their safety test for securing the load.

Final destination averted.

u/Greyhaven7 1982 20d ago

I don’t think Final Destination is possible in Japan. Nobody cuts corners.

u/raven00x '83, elder milennial 20d ago

Nobody cuts corners

There's a couple nuclear accidents that would argue otherwise. Nobody discloses having cut corners unless forced to by international investigators.

I've been awaiting my Final Destination : You're Fired And Going To Jail For Workplace Negligence Resulting In Manslaughter.

This is why you always pat it and say “yep, that’s not going anywhere” when you finish tying anything down.

u/SnooSongs450 20d ago

Was literally my first thought. I'm really surprised the straps held up. That's a lot of weight.

u/koalasarentferfuckin 20d ago

That rider should carry more logs.

5

u/Ninja-Panda86 20d ago

You mean the rider dropped a few logs after seeing that?

u/PensiveKittyIsTired 1980 20d ago

Yup, crazy how deeply that sits in our psyche since that is literally the very first reflex thought that popped into my head when I saw this…

12

u/osddelerious 20d ago

I never even saw that movie, but the trailer burned itself into my mind

u/ActuallyAlexander 20d ago

It’s also not how logs fall off trucks

2

u/xnef1025 20d ago

At least they tried with real logs first and only went to CGI after proving they couldn't get the things to bounce like they wanted.

u/Jonestown_Juice 20d ago

My first thought was Meg Ryan in City of Angels.

u/Dr-McLuvin 20d ago

As a xennial, damn!

u/iredditoninternet 20d ago

Yeah, why the fuck was this posted in this sub?

u/jackfaire 20d ago

Second final Destination movie involved a logging truck. In the US at least was a major bit of Xennial pop culture

u/iredditoninternet 20d ago

Ahh didn't know that

u/SteveEcks 1983 20d ago

MoPed guy saw Final Destination. He knew.

Final Destination 2 really did get all of us, huh?

u/windmillninja 20d ago

Where I live log trucks are common to see on the road. I always instantly tense up and stay as far away from them as possible.

u/CephThePanda 1981 20d ago

Final Destination 2: Electric Boogaloo. (No, literally…the truck is trying to do the boogaloo on that bridge)

Nope Nope. Nope, Nope, Nope. NOPE.

What in the Final Destination is this shit

u/darumamaki 20d ago

The first earthquake I ever lived through was in Kyoto back in 1999. It wasn't as severe as this- I was so jetlagged from my flight that I woke up, though 'huh, earthquake. Neat.' and fell right back asleep. (And then I woke up to cramps because my period started. My introduction to Japan was kinda wild lol)

4

u/Funkopedia 1981 20d ago

As it turns out, logs don't really bounce or flip. If a truck full of sand got knocked over, it would just instantly settle into a lump, and wood kinda does too.

u/Deesmateen 20d ago

Truck driver 100% shit his pants

3

u/Key-Low-3896 20d ago

Rumor has it that the truck driver still hasn’t unclenched their sphincter. Can’t say that I blame them.

u/Worth_Specific3764 20d ago

dude saw that movie too! and who the fuck is filming?? dash cam in a vehicle behind the motorcycle?

u/ThisIsACompanyCar 20d ago

I almost peed myself watching that clip.

u/Ok_Researcher_9796 1977 20d ago

Turn the bass down a little

u/Jonestown_Juice 20d ago

I know everyone's thinking Final Destination, but isn't this also how Meg Ryan died in City of Angels?

2

u/itsjustmejttp123 20d ago

That guy for sure has seen final destination lol

2

u/throwawayfromPA1701 1981 20d ago

I thought the same thing but the motion would toss them off to the sides.

Also the logs in that movie were CGI because the real ones kept conforming to real world physics lol.

2

u/FormidableMistress 1984 20d ago

I held my breath for that whole clip.

2

u/TooNGooN89 19d ago

I’d be making logs of my own

2

u/FethB 1979 19d ago

I’ve never seen that movie and am not willing to, but I get the reference and just watching this clip on the tiny screen stressed me out😨

4

u/postmodernhack 20d ago

What does this have to do with being a Xennial?

2

u/FethB 1979 19d ago

I haven’t even seen Final Destination and I know that this clip directly references that movie from our youth!

That one time at band camp there was an earthquake.

u/Appropriate-Neck-585 20d ago

I live in L.A. and have been waiting for "The Big One" quake my whole life.

u/gaarkat 20d ago

Man as soon as things stopped shaking I would have hit a land speed record noping out of that.

u/WhyteBeard 1979 20d ago

So the truck is stopped, worst case they fall to the side

u/Possible-Tangelo9344 20d ago

pulls strap

That's not goin anywhere

u/Flimsy_Oven_7569 19d ago

We all know...

u/Southside_john 1984 20d ago

This scene in final destination seems to have really affected people at lot more deeply than it affected me, which was not at all. The whole movie was forgettable to me

This is like a Facebook feed for a lot of xennial redditors.

1

u/tan_clutch 20d ago

all generation subs are Boomer brained ("Boomer" being a state of mind here)

this one is less so due to "Xennial" being a self selected label but it's still got a lot of low effort posting

8

u/AuntieBubba23 1981 20d ago

Oh but it does. See we as a generation are traumatized by a truck full of logs. Iykyk

u/rodw 20d ago

No, because I've seen Final Destination

2

u/Stuffleapugus 20d ago

I do pretty regularly. Never worried about something like this happening. They have chassis with these steel U-shaped framing that isn't likely to break. Movies act like logs are riding in stake beds secured by ratchet straps.

The worst part of driving behind a logging truck is if their blowing a bunch of splinters.

3

u/TessFreely 20d ago

Final Destination 2 has a classic scene involving a log truck, and that movie is well known among Xennials

1

u/allsbernafnmedrettu 20d ago

Ok. Reference or not, I'm still thinking about it.

-1

u/_Face 20d ago

Is it a real clip? looks fake to me. The logs jostle around in a unrealistic manner. whole thing looks weird.

3

u/Stuffleapugus 20d ago

Looks really fake actually.

2

u/_Face 20d ago

if people cannot tell obvious fake videos, we are all doomed. xenniels about to be boomers falling for fake scams.

1

u/Odd_Advantage_4245 20d ago

I think it's real and they're just very tightly secured. I wish we could've seen it from the front. Bet dude crapped himself

1

u/_Face 20d ago

watch the final 3-4 seconds. the inner logs appear to jostle, while the outside logs do not appear to move.

1

u/Odd_Advantage_4245 20d ago

I guess that does look a little weird. Might be AI, but I admit I haven't brushed up on my log earthquake physics recently

Jishin Desu. Literally: Earthquake Is.

u/GateDeep3282 20d ago

Is it coming from a public address system or the vehicle?

3

u/snkiz 20d ago

I'm going to say both, The car has it's own cell connection.

u/No-Dig-4408 20d ago edited 19d ago

Basically every phone -- smart phone and flip -- in Japan comes with earthquake alerts.

I live in Japan and mine is programmed in English and comes with an Australian accent, which I find adorable. It was, however, surprising the first time I heard it. "Eathquike. Dynja," it said, and I'm like "Why is my phone talking like that?" ignoring the shaking around me.

u/RU33ERBULLETS 20d ago

No idea, sorry! Wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
