that video was sickening, because normally, when we see stuff like that, it's in a movie, with movie violence, and we can sleep at night.
what i just watched was for sure a death, a vehicular snuff film.
that's just wrong, but if nothing else will make me think twice about driving on un-divided dual carriageway. it also definitively disabuses viewers about just who loses in a car/truck versus transport truck accident. . .
. . .actually, in hindsight, i still wish i hadn't seen that.
how about a 'not safe for life' tag !!!
Awful. Somehow I had a feeling it would be from Russia, though.
This warning is probably too low in the page, but people die in this video.

Yups. Looks to be in Russia.Originally Posted by TwistedKestrel
Damn, the SUV just disappeared... autch
Brutal.
But, I'll put it in a positive light and say that it highlights how vitally important it is to adjust to inclement weather and the precarious road conditions it creates.
Would certainly make a shocking drivers-ed film.
Can't we settle this over a pint?
I just drove on friday back from Quebec City to Toronto through some of the worst snow conditions i have driven on....on the 401 there was a car in a ditch every few km or so....with the 401 being divided at those points i'm sure the cars in the middle ditch would have experienced the same fate had it been a road like the one in the video.
I cannot stress enough how important it is NOT TO HAVE YOUR WHEELS catch the snow build up on either side of the traveled path without paying attention or instituting the action yourself. When that wheel catches its extremely difficult to control the car as it just wants to go wherever IT wants to go.
RIP, that was a brutal hit but at least we can take some comfort in knowing it was a quick death.

One small mistake can cost you your life.
I guess it is kinda motorcycle related, because the same holds true for bikes.
Forget world peace. Visualize using your turn signal.
Mine too
Absolutely insane. RIP to the occupants of that vehicle (and possibly the truck driver as well?)...
You said it. Wow that's bad.

How is this clip any different than watching the mass murder of thousands of innocents in a plane being slammed into the World Trade Center being replayed over and over and over again?
it isn't. never said it was right that the families of those victims have to be put through that either. . .
that being said, i suspect most of us have driven in poor conditions before, and even lost some small semblance of control and traction, which would allow us to make the scenario in that video very, very vivid in our imaginations. on the other hand, some of us have probably never been on a plane, and certainly, few if any of us have ever been in a plane that lost control or been hijacked. so, much harder to relate to.
