Catching something unexpected is amusing. Catching something that is staged and disingenuously trying to pass itself off as unexpected, is another form of amusement, particularly for folks that don't enjoy being lied to.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
The kid clearly steers towards the truck on purpose and then straightens out so it's either the kid being an rear end in a top hat or it's all staged with a truck they plan on junking.

i used to roll in a "mini" front end loader with a grapple attachment, all day, erryday, and ive thought about how fun it would be to gently caress up a car with one

what actually happened once is we felled a tree with a hornets nest, and i was super determined to get the entire section into the chipper before i was stung to death. the hornets won. had to leave a giant mess in a back yard and wait for exterminator lol

The fact that there's no camera movement from the father is the biggest give-away. Maintaining a steady perfect cell phone video shot while your kid is about to cost you a couple of grand is highly unlikely.

This exit sketches me out in a car going normal speed. It's got a very short run up to it then curves severely to the left. Plus people around here don't pay attention and try to get across three lanes right before the exit when they realize they are about to miss it.

Has sound. Really nice touch with traffic still going over the top of the who-knows-how-compromised bridge.

From the comments, the convoy had permits to drive across West Tennessee from Arkansas, but not to drive across Central Tennessee. So they had no business being there, but thought "meh it'll be fine"

Because that's a loving massive truck and bridges aren't made of adamantium. It weighs 40 tons alone and the part that hit the bridge was designed to hold nearly that much weight in rocks so it's got to be a lot of thick steel representing a large chunk of that weight.

I think the only dipshit in that situation is the guy driving a truck carrying a tall load where he shouldn't have and causing millions of dollars of damage to an overpass that will now likely take months to repair, and not the reporter who is rightfully calling him out on that, highlighting that the driver, indeed hosed up.

But I mean, that's just my read of reporter grilling the guy.

What happens if the chopper gets blown away by a sudden gust of wind or the pilot jerks the stick (heh) accidentally while the guy is attached to both it and the pylon?

Or what happens if the pilot hits the “eject rotors” button or what happens if all the humans involved spontaneously combust or what happens if gravity suddenly inverts

Paperwork. The answer is paperwork.

For those who don't want to read, in the early 2000's VW had a really bizarre problem where engine coolant level sensor would leak, and the coolant would wick in to the car's wiring harness, usually ending up in the instrument cluster, and even pooling in the taillights.

They still do this. I can't find it now but I was stumbling around Youtube drunk a few nights ago and came across a video of a mechanic who was getting ready to put an engine harness and TCM/PCM in a mid-2010s A7 because of coolant migration.

The reporter knows he hosed up, he knows he hosed up, we know he hosed up. All the reporter is doing is rub the fact he hosed up in his face. Whether or not the driver should have this continuously rubbed in his face is left as an excercise for the reader.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.
