Alas, here I am, completely reduced to tears of laughter, having naught but a recommendation to read that Twitter thread.

I mean good reflexes I guess but that truck has no business going that fast past a stopped bus to begin with, and the bus driver should never let kids cross behind his vehicle.

The truck doesn't look like it was going that fast from the video, and based on the length of its emergency stop.

The bus had no business letting passengers off at what seems like an undesignated stop, and then disengaging the hazard lights before the disembarked passengers have left the area.

"I mean, good reflexes" in this case is supremely understated, because the truck driver bringing their rig to a stop is a testament to attention and the ABS on commercial trucks these days.
The truck initiates the emergency stop almost exactly at the delineator post, and then comes to a full stop at what seems like one full truck length later. Max rig length is 18,75m, so assuming the full break distance was ~20m, the truck was probably going well under 80 kph.

That driver is literally trucklefucker-Jesus and saved a goddamn life that day.

I don't know what world you live in where crossing a stopped bus at anywhere even near that speed isn't full on reckless

In Europe, where there are pretty clear-cut rules about when you can or cannot pass a bus and which speeds you may do this? :shrug:

The bus was stopped at a non-designated stop on a rural road, had it's hazard lights off and the turning light on way before the kids had cleared the area (another big ol' no-no for commercial bus drivers), and the kids stormed across the street ignoring all traffic rules and logic.
The truck appears to have been going well below the speed limit (I mentioned "well under 80kph" as quick napkin-math to eyeball the braking distance and its rough speed), which is even clearer in the video on YT.

A kid's life got saved by a trucker who was already going below the speed limit and then had lightning-fast reactions, I'm not entirely sure why we're making GBS threads on them so hard in here?

Be happy, kid's gonna grow up to have a life :)

Squat can be useful. German captain on a river absolutely sends it to make his ship squat, and make the steering house clear the bridge by 20cm or so.
Includes lovely turbodiesel sound.

Since this is the OSHA thread, I'd like to point out that when you're operating 600-ton dry bulk barges on inland navigation with elevated water levels (due to meltwater, i assume) and lack bridge clearance, "absolutely sending it" is not exactly SOP in deutschbag-country.

The jet of clean fire going straight up at the start of the video is the BLEVE relief valve venting gas from the propane tank. The valve is attempting to let pressure out so the tank doesn't explode, or at least delay and reduce the severity of an explosion if the tank is being heated faster than pressure can be reduced.

If you see that, it's a sign that you should be running away or looking for cover.

so how are you actually supposed to do this without like a county-fair coordinated forklift driving stunt

You individually set up three heavy crane trucks (i.e. Azov, Fleetstar, P12), sequentially attach the payload, inch the load upwards bit by bit, move out the train car, pull an 8x superheavy semi-trailer underneath the suspended load with a P16 (saddle high), lower the load, winch the P16 behind a 6900 Twinsteer (with DLC AWD-upgrade) and glitch the whole transmodal centipede off the tracks, bing-bong so simple

Here in sunny England we have a real problem with a HGV driver shortage. This is due to a mix of Brexit, Covid and drivers realising they can get the same wages for way less hours working elsewhere.

You'd think the problem is easy to solve, pay the drivers more and give them benefits befitting of a job that has you working 12-14 hour days right?

The first idea our wonderful government had was to add on exactly one hour to the legal driving time. Yes you can now drive a multi ton vehicle, while tired as gently caress, even longer!

This didn't work, to the shock of no one.

This is the new idea:
