OMG! That’s awesome… If I was the guy taking the video, I think I would have pulled over before the overpass, would have been worried that potentially it could have collapsed on them when the truck hit it…
Considering the circumstances, filming and laughing at the jackass was the only appropriate response.
The bridge certainly wasn’t hurt.
The truck driver probably only has bruises — he had enough mindfulness to hit the brakes (it stopped way too quickly for coasting). This suggests the driver is in good operating condition and conscious.
However, anyone behind the truck might be in for a rude surprise. But, what are a bunch of people in a fast moving vehicle going to do to help a pile-up behind the wreckage of the truck’s payload? Stand in front of the wreckage with their hand up? Remember, we’re talking about very heavy vehicles, all in excess of 2800 lbs, and all moving in excess of 60MPH who need to come to a complete stop in a hurry. Are YOU going to stand in front of a situation like that? Please demonstrate how it is to be done.
They could call the police on their cellphones, but the video ends shortly after the incident. How do you know they DIDN’T do this?
Think with your brain, and not with your knees, please.
um actually that happened on the highway XD like five minutes from my house…
sadly the driver was killed….an the road was closed for like a week
and people had to leave their homes cause of a gas leak because of
the accident…x.X yea its funny but not really..
Actually this happened IN my house, and the truck driver was a house centipede that’s been living here for some time and he’s fine, dead, not at all well, and growing old with dignity because he’s really a turnip dressed for success.
It happened negative 24 minutes from MY house in a welfare state.
And the driver now salivates at the sight of bridges because he is one of pavlov’s dogs.
That’s a pretty long winded, weak argument. Truth is- you could never predict what this situation could have resulted in. And in any case- why not attempt to alert the driver simply for the sake of preventing damage? Unless you think that’s somehow a positive result?
Don’t get me wrong- I’m always up for a good FAIL. But this crosses the line of simply being an upstanding citizen in a society, and doing the ‘right thing’.
hahaha and what would you have done to help? Stop the truck..there isnt much they could have done and screaming dosent really fix anything…i just think the truck driver is a dumbass.
Hey Bondfan do me a favor and don’t reply to any of my posts! If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it. Unless of course you can be nice to me and let bygones be bygones?
*dons cheerleader uniform once again and does a series of back flips through thread and then quickly changes back to lawyer-esque outfit and returns to slaving away at work*
I wasn’t actually sure if that is what she meant, being that Police and Poice have a difference of one letter. I wasn’t familiar with the reference so I restated what Mookie seemed to agree with above.

Hi!
Patrick is a shorts wearing starfish from SpongeBob Squarepants. I know a guy (named Patrick) with a t-shirt with that character and name on it. He joked that it meant that he’d always remember his name.
In case you’re serious: At the end of every video they show an old comment by someone from this blog. Very briefly, I always miss the right moment to click pause the first time.
And I would be more than happy if I could accept that, Judy, but I can’t. I am delighted to join your party, but to share it wouldn’t be right. This is your moment! But thank you very much for the generous offer.
*squeeze*
Now I truly feel a part of this community.
*stands at podium*
*unfolds four-page acceptance speech*
And I’d like to thank all the little trolls that made this day possible.
Wait, why is that music starting? And getting louder?
(For those who don’t know, yesterday if you went to espn.com and input the Konami Code (up up down down left right left right b a enter), you got a bunch of rainbows and unicorns)
Exactly. Just like all the “your comments are not related to the fail” folks. Where would the improvement be if everybody talks about the fail in a normal way?
The shortage of proporly trained truck drivers is making interstate travel more dangerous every year. Why don’t we all start a petition to further restrict the hours semi’s can be on the highway. Can i get a Safety!!!? Anybody? Not even One?
Yes, I quite agree. Furthermore, we should all petition our congressmen to enact new regulations, requiring truck-inspection stations immediately prior to any underpass.
I’ll try to react normal, sophisticated and mature on the next fail. Just to make it really boring. Let’s see how that goes.
I can try with a past fail, hmm.. smoething comes to my mind, ah! The “without the washer fail” I could post a comment saying: “There is a sign and a screw trying to have sexual intercourse with a bolt, but the bolt apparentely doesn’t want to. Let’s eat healthier, shall we? And respect homosexuals.”
Storks can be frightening to children because they’re nearly as big as the kids themselves are! That’s why us zombies resort to biting to breed – it doesn’t involve scary large foul creatures, just scary large foul *smelling* creatures!
You mean to say, “And someone happened to be randomly driving a truck down the highway in an obviously retarded fashion, when someone with a camera noticed and started filming.”
Something similar happened in San Diego a year ago. The truck’s hydraulic lift was up and everyone was trying to tell the driver, but he was an idiot. Lucky for him he smashed one of those huge overhead freeway signs, and not a friggin’ overpass!
I can’t believe this happens this often – that truck would drive horribly with the back up like that, wouldn’t it? Besides, don’t these drivers ever look in their mirrors?
“Hmm, I thought the box back there laid down on the back of the truck, not stood up like that. Oh well, maybe I just never noticed before.”
A truck went through a downtown with the bed up and caught the network optical fiber that nationally authenticated cell phone accounts and allowed them to connect and dial.
It’s.. umm.. yeah, what is this, really? Does the government play some sick games with our minds and make us believe that we really are nice people studying, working or anything? They are all photoshopped, Auchrain. All photoshopped.
Let me try to reconstruct the whole video with my own, wisely picked words: Guy shoots a video because he knows that something WILL go wrong, everything is dead silent, BANG, follows the truck with the camera and laughs a little evil laughter. Nice one.
Spring cleaning. Everything in it came out, and then I scrubbed every surface. My step-father walked in while I was standing on the counter scrubbing the tops of the cabinets, his only comment was that the place smelled like bleach. i was tempted to throw my bleach soaked sponge at him (he usually wears all black).
Yes, we do, and it is indeed 37. And it goes up by twelve every 6 years. Odd behavior for an annual magical number, I know. But that’s part of the magic.
I'm afraid my youtube doesn't work right now. I believe I have figured out what happens here. A dump truck has the back up and runs into a bridge, right?
Hypercritical fail: While there are places where parallel highway lanes travel in the same direction. Unless this was one of them, someone was driving the wrong way.
yeah truck driver/operator fail but i also think its a “hey, lets be considerate and try to get this poor clueless driver’s attention. maybe he’ll notice us yelling at him and notice what’s wrong. so he’ll pull over before he goes under the underpass and distroys his rig and possibly looses his job because were not a couple of assholes with a camrea and laugh at other people’s expense.” fail.
I’m dead and I’ve never driven a truck like that, but I can guarantee you I would have noticed something was wrong long before reaching the highway. That truck’s trailer would have been rather top heavy with it’s box upright like that and if you glanced at the mirrors even once you would have likely noticed it looked … wrong. “Hey, isn’t that box supposed to be laying down, not standing up like that?”
.
With all that in mind, tell us again how you would have made a total fool of yourself trying to get this putz to acknowledge reality on the highway at 60 MPH when the rest of us were busy laughing our dead heads off!
I’m among the living dead and I’ve never not driven a truck like a different type than that, but I can’t guarantee anyone that I wouldn’t have been oblivious to the fact that nothing was right shortly after reaching the highway. That truck’s trailer wouldn’t have been rather bottom heavy with its box down like it wasn’t and if I didn’t glance at the mirrors several times I would have likely ignored that it looked…correct. “Hey, isn’t that box supposed to be upright, instead of not laying down like it isn’t?”
.
With all that set aside, tell us again how I would have made a total fool out of me not trying to get this putz to ignore reality on the side road at 35 MPH when I was idle crying my fool elbow off!
Ninja: Thanks, glad you liked!
Avis: Sorry; my fingers wouldn’t stop.
*realizes that, while some may like, others are being caused pain. Retires to bed for the evening for the overall benefit of the “EFBE-dotto” community.*
It says:
“Speed limit 60 kilometres per hour” (the upper sign.. red circle with a 60 in it)
The other sign says something about two streetlanes in the way the car is driving, while 3 streetlanes in the other way. The line below the arrows is not readable. It states the distance until this sign takes effect, OR how long this sign is in effect.
The video was taken in either germay or austria, one of the people you are hearing sais shortly bevor the crash “der reisst die Brücke ein”, if I get this right.
I would say the car is on the Autobahn, but on a construction zone…
Hey, I’ve got a clickie for everybody. As you may know, Bea Arthur passes away over the weekend, but you may not have seen was her “Sex and the City” spoof. Wait ’til you see who plays Big!! He shows up at about 4:20 in the vid. It is about 5 1/2 min long, so patience please!
Again, as always, this is assuming the link works.
That’s in Romania. A similar event (same type of vehicle making the exactly same mistake) killed a few people when the bridge (another bridge) felt on the next car.
That happened near where I live. A section of the overpass did come down and landed on the hood of the car traveling behind the truck.
Luckily no one was killed.
Don’t those trucks have a light or an alarm telling the stupid driver the “bed” or whatever that part is called…is UP?
Hello, technology is your friend!!
I bet I could make a lot of money if I INVENTED that…
LOL the fail is that u guys actually are so uninformed that u still consider this a fail, this is a bridge crash test and it is done all the time for new bridges, omg , failblog members FAIL !
That’s not funny at all. A similar accident happened in my country a few months ago, only the bridge was a light people-only bridge. And it collapsed over the cars below, killing a lot of people. So i can’t laugh when i see this, and i can’t understand how the people filming this can. This is a serious accident and they are lucky that the only damage was to the rig, because if the bridge failed, they would have been among the victims for sure.
I don’t drive so correct moi, but shouldn’t one of these drivers have been going the other way down the road? I mean, there’s a barrier in between the two vehicles so like doesn’t that mean one lot of traffic should be going in the opposite direction? So is this, like fake?

Copy pasting?

Nope.
Fast typing… He’s special.
Oh, a selfmade cab-truck!
OMG! That’s awesome… If I was the guy taking the video, I think I would have pulled over before the overpass, would have been worried that potentially it could have collapsed on them when the truck hit it…
Bet his insurance premiums go way the hell up…
Right. I think it is a bigger Fail just to film it, instead of helping or reacting right..
Considering the circumstances, filming and laughing at the jackass was the only appropriate response.
The bridge certainly wasn’t hurt.
The truck driver probably only has bruises — he had enough mindfulness to hit the brakes (it stopped way too quickly for coasting). This suggests the driver is in good operating condition and conscious.
However, anyone behind the truck might be in for a rude surprise. But, what are a bunch of people in a fast moving vehicle going to do to help a pile-up behind the wreckage of the truck’s payload? Stand in front of the wreckage with their hand up? Remember, we’re talking about very heavy vehicles, all in excess of 2800 lbs, and all moving in excess of 60MPH who need to come to a complete stop in a hurry. Are YOU going to stand in front of a situation like that? Please demonstrate how it is to be done.
They could call the police on their cellphones, but the video ends shortly after the incident. How do you know they DIDN’T do this?
Think with your brain, and not with your knees, please.
Why do you care so much?!
let them eat care!
*pulls up pant legs and stares*
*wonders how to think with your knees*
*thinks on his feet*

*puts way too much faith in his toenails*
sofaking, you’re sofaking stupid.
Well, yes...but this not exactly the time and place for that.whahaha LAWL
xD I laughed my ass off xD
sofaking stupid.
nice one man KUDO’s to you
Teach us how to pull up the stairs, please.
(I can only do it in the attic!)
Lol I want to learn to do that. It might come in handy next time
I get a brain fart.
Seriously, what kind of person sees a car accident and chuckles?
are you kidding? lol. what could be more funny??
Exactly! He shouldn’t be chuckling, he should be laughing his head off.
Remember, kids, it’s only fun & games if someone loses an eye.
Has anyone seen my eye? I seem to have lost it.
*is having fun and is liking the games*
WOOHOO!!!(Nests won’t level before that comment)
(Levels won't comment above these nests)And then its more fun and games looking for the eye!:D
when the car accident is that stupid.
*Chuckle*
Germans, obviously…
Overanalysis/way too much time on your hands WIN.
> The bridge certainly wasn’t hurt.
Actually, it was probably rendered completely useless.
or just imagine standing on it at this exact moment. o_O
um actually that happened on the highway XD like five minutes from my house…
sadly the driver was killed….an the road was closed for like a week
and people had to leave their homes cause of a gas leak because of
the accident…x.X yea its funny but not really..
No, it actually happened five minutes from MY house in a different state, and the driver was fine because he remembered to wear a seatbelt.
actually is happened 1 minute from MY house in an eastern state, and the truck driver was both dead and alive because it was schrodingers cat
Actually this happened IN my house, and the truck driver was a house centipede that’s been living here for some time and he’s fine, dead, not at all well, and growing old with dignity because he’s really a turnip dressed for success.
Actually, I was the REASON for the accident.Actually, I’ve been alive forever and I wrote the very first song.
Actually, I've also been alive forever and I invented pizza.Actually, I…forget it. I can’t top inventing pizza!
*concedes this thread to Ninja*
*celebrates with somersault*

lololololol
hah! nice, melivorous

It happened negative 24 minutes from MY house in a welfare state.
And the driver now salivates at the sight of bridges because he is one of pavlov’s dogs.
Toonces is actually Schrodinger’s cat?
Quantum Physics WIN!
LoL!!!
I bet the truck was filled with poison then…
actually i was the truck
i drove by myself
meow meow meow meow
That’s a pretty long winded, weak argument. Truth is- you could never predict what this situation could have resulted in. And in any case- why not attempt to alert the driver simply for the sake of preventing damage? Unless you think that’s somehow a positive result?
Don’t get me wrong- I’m always up for a good FAIL. But this crosses the line of simply being an upstanding citizen in a society, and doing the ‘right thing’.
meh.
munch, no one is asking them to pick up a truck so who gives a shit what it weighs?
hahaha and what would you have done to help? Stop the truck..there isnt much they could have done and screaming dosent really fix anything…i just think the truck driver is a dumbass.
I think it was too late, but yeah, maybe warn him sooner.
Damn bridges always getting inna way…
And always getting their way too. I really hate these damn bridges!
Still, that’s what a douchebag would do. :/
Until my company gets a faster connection….yes. Hey now I can say I was once first, probly won’t ever happen again.
If by first you mean 8th. Then, yes, you were finally first.
Do you notice any similaritys in the name of sofaking and the person whom wrote first post?
The fonts are remarkably similar, if that’s what you mean.
It was my first and last time saying first. I was overcome by excitement.
*takes out troll stamp*
I’m sorry, sofaking, but I’m going to have to do this. We warned you.
Hey Bondfan do me a favor and don’t reply to any of my posts! If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it. Unless of course you can be nice to me and let bygones be bygones?
Alright, we’ll let you off this once. But please, for the sake of all of us, don’t say f*rst. Seriously.
In his defense he didn’t actually say first; he said tsrif.
Hold on… Maybe we could use the washable ink this time.

Wow, might this be an actually clever first post?
hahaha, i love the first comment. did anyone get it besides me?

Wonder how far the driver flew out the windshield?
Bridge, meet truck. Truck, meet bridge.
Hi =) where’s truck?
Watch out Bridge!!!
*Crash*
Huh, you seem remarkably unscathed.
I aint afraid of no ghost
*cue theme tune*
There’s a ghost?
In the machine.
Isn’t it from the machine?
*starts to sing Ghostbusters theme*
Something strange going on. . .
I got Mookie’s reference :/
*cheers*
Seems I didn’t. I thought she was referencing to the term ‘Deus ex Machina’.
That’s “god from the machine”.
I thought she was referring to an album by the Poice.
Welcome my son….
Welcome to… the machine.
Ah yes, the above comment was ‘ghost’ not ‘God’. Damn.
Well, If it’s the Holy Ghost, then you’re both right.
Oui!
Non!
Peut-être!
I just went to check my sources. I didn’t get it.
*uncheers*
First lesson for playing pool billiard: If something good happens by pure chance – never admit it.

*rolls on up*
*chalks one up for WN*

I never like to say I know something I don’t :/.
But in the future… *will have to keep yapper shut*
No, you’re doing the right thing.
*grin!*
You can bank on Dragon coming up with the best pun.
*wishes he could pocket Dragon’s puns*
OK, this is killing me. What the *&%# did Mookie’s comment mean?
Get a grip man! I think her comment was referencing a Police album. Or a Poice if I read Dragon’s comment right. :S
What was wrong with that speing of The Poice?
I wasn’t actually sure if that is what she meant, being that Police and Poice have a difference of one letter. I wasn’t familiar with the reference so I restated what Mookie seemed to agree with above.
I don’t have that Poice album, I guess.
*grips self*
Can I let go now?
I was attempting to respond while keeping the pun run. I think it failed. Oh well. You can let yourself go now.
Has it come to rest yet?
I think we are still trying to bridge the gap.

That made me snooker.
It is a bumper crop of puns, isn’t it?
Hopefully we haven’t tabled them for the time being…
We could always wipe the slate clean and start over.
Too many people would baulk about starting over.
Plus it would tip the whole cosmic balance.
Someone say something about rising from the dirt? Are we there yet? I thought we were waiting for the older zombies to claw their way up …
NO ONE IS EVER PREPARED FOR THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
*breaks glass*
*stares at the rack and ruin*
I have a feeling someone will get framed for this mess.
CUES!! hahahaha
In the other viewing angle you can see the driver was watching Ghostbusters 2 at the time.
*looks at Jason to see if he believes him*
I see white again…
I see dead people…
I see France.
Oh. Wait.
That was yesterday.
Is France no longer there?
I was about to come up with a conspiracy theory about what happend to France. Then I read your name.
Errr. . . Um, yes. There is nothing to see here. . .
We did not get any messages, and captain Blackadder definitely did not shoot this plumb-breasted pigeon.

Hi Avis!
Hi!
Patrick is a shorts wearing starfish from SpongeBob Squarepants. I know a guy (named Patrick) with a t-shirt with that character and name on it. He joked that it meant that he’d always remember his name.
And, like Spongebob and the King, he likes square butts. And he cannot lie.
Ah. I have never seen a SpongeBob. Thank your both for the clarification.
We prefer to be called the living impaired, rather than dead people. Zombie is also acceptable. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I can’t watch the videos at work and always forget to look at home. That’s pretty awesome though.
Yep, it is. I had the hono(u)r to present a fail – I missed it. Saw it the next day…
I see many fails in life… I only lack the quality camera needed to capture them.
It was unfort(u)nate that Arth(ur) missed it, but, as I recall, a party was held in his hono(u)r.
‘Twas seen and appreciated. B(u)t I wo(u)ld have loved to be there…
I would be pleased and hono(u)red if you would share my party, Arthur.
*squeeze!*

That is impressive failure right there.
This is why I don’t drive a truck. Well, one of the reasons.
Because you are worried about being dumb enough to leave the back end up and smashing into a bridge?
Yes.
Fair enough!
It’s hell on insurance rates.
What other reasons?
Everyone asks for help moving.
Bodies?

Ah.
Can you guys react normal?
Probab not.
I wouldn’t count on it.
I don’t even want to try.
If I wasn’t writing nonsense on here I would be lighting fires…….hooray failblog!!
What would be the point in being normal?
Exactly. Just like all the “your comments are not related to the fail” folks. Where would the improvement be if everybody talks about the fail in a normal way?
I would like to answer that question in two ways.
I’ll bite… Huh?
Clickie
Ah. I miss Flying Circus. It has been way too long since I saw any of them.
I don’t think there is a normal way to talk about such strange events. Is there? Crazy events = crazy responses.
“The truck hit the bridge.”
“Yes. What a bad accident.”
“Did you hear the sound it made?”
“Yes. That was loud.”
…
Kinda like that maybe?
Thanks! Now I remember why I avoid the normal.
The shortage of proporly trained truck drivers is making interstate travel more dangerous every year. Why don’t we all start a petition to further restrict the hours semi’s can be on the highway. Can i get a Safety!!!? Anybody? Not even One?
Yes, I quite agree. Furthermore, we should all petition our congressmen to enact new regulations, requiring truck-inspection stations immediately prior to any underpass.
Okay, that’s enough seriousness for now.

Define “normal”.
Not an adverb.
I can talk IN Normal. Normal, Illinois. I will take me a while to get there, though.
Is it worth the effort?
It would be a Blooming(ton) pain in the arse, honestly.

I’ll try to react normal, sophisticated and mature on the next fail. Just to make it really boring. Let’s see how that goes.
I can try with a past fail, hmm.. smoething comes to my mind, ah! The “without the washer fail” I could post a comment saying: “There is a sign and a screw trying to have sexual intercourse with a bolt, but the bolt apparentely doesn’t want to. Let’s eat healthier, shall we? And respect homosexuals.”
There is nothing funny about a bolt attempting to rape a nut. Of course, normal is rarely funny too.
i loled
Well it’s only in your nature.
Which makes it normal.
The day the lols stop lolling…..I don’t want to live to see that day. *sheds single tear*
That will be a sad sad day indeed.
*offers tissue*
*Takes tissue, saves it for later veiwing of Brazilian Paranting Fail”
Is that the one where the Pa is ranting at the kids?
DragonWriter! *squeeze*
Malicite!
*squeeze*
How are you?
*examines self*
*takes inventory*
*runs diagnostics*
I’m just peachy, thanks! And you?
I am hot as Hades and twice as sweaty. I kinda need shower and I work in an air conditioned office… but otherwise I am peachy as well!
If I get my billables in today, I am going to try and depart early.
Look at the bright side – you can’t smell as bad as I do!
(can you???)
*SQUEEZES* Malicite temporarily, in Dragon’s absence*
Uh-oh. I’m apparently invisible.
Hmmm….
*starts plotting*
*group squeeze*
I love all the love.
No…its the one where the dancers are showing children where babies come from and they all look horrified.
Storks can be frightening to children because they’re nearly as big as the kids themselves are! That’s why us zombies resort to biting to breed – it doesn’t involve scary large foul creatures, just scary large foul *smelling* creatures!
what are the people in the car saying? they seem remarkably apathetic.
Something like “It’s about to crash” and then the sounds which I don’t need to translate.
In soviet russia, truck drives you!
In Soviet Russia, blog fails you!
*throws tear-gas grenade towards ohno and Achwel*
*gets caught up in the gas and can’t see for tuppence, crashes into wall and blacks out*
BFF!! So sorry. You okay? Didn’t mean to nail any innocent bystanders there.
*runs by and drops off gas masks*
*realizes he can’t even abbreviate “GeneralBondFan” properly*
^GBF
*shows off by running through the gas repeatedly*
Sometimes it’s nice not to have to breathe.
…and someone happened to randomly catch this on video after just taping that truck traveling down the highway for the past 4 hours… (-_-)
Lol. At first I read that as ‘tapping’.
*taps Cloral*
*taps that ass*
You mean to say, “And someone happened to be randomly driving a truck down the highway in an obviously retarded fashion, when someone with a camera noticed and started filming.”
Nothing else to do while merged to two way traffic and following an RV doing the speed limit and the other side is closed for construction.
Something similar happened in San Diego a year ago. The truck’s hydraulic lift was up and everyone was trying to tell the driver, but he was an idiot. Lucky for him he smashed one of those huge overhead freeway signs, and not a friggin’ overpass!
You’d think with so many idiots behind the wheel, they would make you take in IQ test before a driving test.
Or at least a pregnancy test.
I can’t believe this happens this often – that truck would drive horribly with the back up like that, wouldn’t it? Besides, don’t these drivers ever look in their mirrors?
“Hmm, I thought the box back there laid down on the back of the truck, not stood up like that. Oh well, maybe I just never noticed before.”
buba was here.
(buba is Killroy in disguise)
So. . . Killbuba?
I only injure, sorry.
I’d kill him, but the other zombies have overruled me. We don’t want him either.
A truck went through a downtown with the bed up and caught the network optical fiber that nationally authenticated cell phone accounts and allowed them to connect and dial.
Bet you heard that on the groomer mill?
Shave my rear and show me if i’m lying.
Sounds like a date.
Your trimmers or mine?
Holy craps! All funny comments aside, I can only imagine how it would have turned out during heavy traffic.
Pretty heavy, I suppose?
That definitely wouldn’t harshed my mellow.
would’ve*
What’s this?
A blog.
Only to the uninitiated, Arthur.
*eyes Auchrain*
Um, Arthur, like you said.
*Laughs histericaly at the simplicity of Arthurs answer* Man I must be tired.
It’s called a comment box.
It’s.. umm.. yeah, what is this, really? Does the government play some sick games with our minds and make us believe that we really are nice people studying, working or anything? They are all photoshopped, Auchrain. All photoshopped.
Oh, and this is a blog. A very failish one.
lol… a shame it’s on low quality.
*SNIFF*
Ahh, the smell of a fresh fail in the morning. . .
*SNIFF*
Here, it’s the Late Evening Final fail.
Let me try to reconstruct the whole video with my own, wisely picked words: Guy shoots a video because he knows that something WILL go wrong, everything is dead silent, BANG, follows the truck with the camera and laughs a little evil laughter. Nice one.
It appears that it’s the driver of the car, not the passenger, who is videotaping, which would make this a double fail…
You can’t determine this from the video. It could be an SUV with the video taping done in the middle row of seats.
Oh, you mean one of those Eco-Smart SUVs?
Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Or onomatopoeia?
Auto-asphyxia?
*Cloral thinks Avis missed the earlier fail*
I just got here a few minutes ago. I have been bleaching the hell out of my kitchen.
s’up with your kitchen, Avis?
It’s clear now.
And it has a remarkable lack of hell.
When did you take up neurology? I need to find a new one.
Spring cleaning. Everything in it came out, and then I scrubbed every surface. My step-father walked in while I was standing on the counter scrubbing the tops of the cabinets, his only comment was that the place smelled like bleach. i was tempted to throw my bleach soaked sponge at him (he usually wears all black).
I thought an oxymoron was an especially dumb teenager.
How much dumbass do you have to be to be driving at highway speeds with your dump up.
lots?
I thought his question implied quantity as well….I say 37.
Ah, the magic number…
Don’t you mean 42?
Not for another five years.
I had no idea we had an annual magical number.
Yes, we do, and it is indeed 37. And it goes up by twelve every 6 years. Odd behavior for an annual magical number, I know. But that’s part of the magic.
Yay for not having to sit through an “Overpass Win” moment
“CLICK TO VOTE!”
When do you HAVE to sit through it?
Remember, Enraha!
seems to me like the ultimative fail!
Well, at least we can be relatively sure that wasn’t faked.
I'm afraid my youtube doesn't work right now. I believe I have figured out what happens here. A dump truck has the back up and runs into a bridge, right?Your Ninja intuition is spot-on!
You can never expect too much or too little of a ninja. That is the way of Ninjitsu.
A ninja is never late, General BondFan, nor is he early.
He arrives precisely when he means to.
Yes!Hypercritical fail: While there are places where parallel highway lanes travel in the same direction. Unless this was one of them, someone was driving the wrong way.
Ummmm…..
*leaves dicitionary open to the page that has “frontage road” on it*
*remembers Santa Monica Blvd and Little Santa Monica Blvd*
yeah truck driver/operator fail but i also think its a “hey, lets be considerate and try to get this poor clueless driver’s attention. maybe he’ll notice us yelling at him and notice what’s wrong. so he’ll pull over before he goes under the underpass and distroys his rig and possibly looses his job because were not a couple of assholes with a camrea and laugh at other people’s expense.” fail.
I’m dead and I’ve never driven a truck like that, but I can guarantee you I would have noticed something was wrong long before reaching the highway. That truck’s trailer would have been rather top heavy with it’s box upright like that and if you glanced at the mirrors even once you would have likely noticed it looked … wrong. “Hey, isn’t that box supposed to be laying down, not standing up like that?”
.
With all that in mind, tell us again how you would have made a total fool of yourself trying to get this putz to acknowledge reality on the highway at 60 MPH when the rest of us were busy laughing our dead heads off!
I’m among the living dead and I’ve never not driven a truck like a different type than that, but I can’t guarantee anyone that I wouldn’t have been oblivious to the fact that nothing was right shortly after reaching the highway. That truck’s trailer wouldn’t have been rather bottom heavy with its box down like it wasn’t and if I didn’t glance at the mirrors several times I would have likely ignored that it looked…correct. “Hey, isn’t that box supposed to be upright, instead of not laying down like it isn’t?”
.
With all that set aside, tell us again how I would have made a total fool out of me not trying to get this putz to ignore reality on the side road at 35 MPH when I was idle crying my fool elbow off!
Do you know how much it physically hurt to read that?
I thought it was hilarious. Sparky, you rule!Ninja: Thanks, glad you liked!
Avis: Sorry; my fingers wouldn’t stop.
*realizes that, while some may like, others are being caused pain. Retires to bed for the evening for the overall benefit of the “EFBE-dotto” community.*
Don’t get me wrong, it was funny! Sometimes funny hurts I guess.
So, what’s the sign that slips past at 11 seconds? Snakes in the road??
If you can read this, you’re about to be featured on failblog!
“Neither of those two”
It says:
“Speed limit 60 kilometres per hour” (the upper sign.. red circle with a 60 in it)
The other sign says something about two streetlanes in the way the car is driving, while 3 streetlanes in the other way. The line below the arrows is not readable. It states the distance until this sign takes effect, OR how long this sign is in effect.
The video was taken in either germay or austria, one of the people you are hearing sais shortly bevor the crash “der reisst die Brücke ein”, if I get this right.
I would say the car is on the Autobahn, but on a construction zone…
Hello? Anyone else here?*steps out of the shadows*
Hey! That's where I was.*reaches out, grabs the Admiral and pulls him back into the shadows*
I’m not done with you yet. *grin*
*traces your silhouette with hands*
*removes all traces*
*takes no umbrage*
*drapes arms around your waist*
Hi Lloyd.
Little slow tonight, isn’t it?
BWAHAHAHAH
All work and no play….
Hey, I’ve got a clickie for everybody. As you may know, Bea Arthur passes away over the weekend, but you may not have seen was her “Sex and the City” spoof. Wait ’til you see who plays Big!! He shows up at about 4:20 in the vid. It is about 5 1/2 min long, so patience please!
Again, as always, this is assuming the link works.
*sigh*
“passed”
Bukkit please?
That was great, Avis; thanks for sharing that!
Glad you liked it! I thought it was worth sharing!
*hands Avis the bukkit*
I really need to empty this thing.It changes magically for the next person anyway so….
*KERSPLORTCH*
Ick.
that reminds me of

Those guys videotaping sure are a bunch of idiots!
That’s in Romania. A similar event (same type of vehicle making the exactly same mistake) killed a few people when the bridge (another bridge) felt on the next car.
all you truckers should throw your bird up high in the sky on abirdinthesky.com
Why are they traveling the same direction… on the other side of the highway?
That happened near where I live. A section of the overpass did come down and landed on the hood of the car traveling behind the truck.
Luckily no one was killed.
Don’t those trucks have a light or an alarm telling the stupid driver the “bed” or whatever that part is called…is UP?
Hello, technology is your friend!!
I bet I could make a lot of money if I INVENTED that…
Whoops!
Hoops!
the same story here:

WTF
Haha that evil laugh xD +5
epic fail!!!
LOL the fail is that u guys actually are so uninformed that u still consider this a fail, this is a bridge crash test and it is done all the time for new bridges, omg , failblog members FAIL !
Crappy camera win!
That’s not funny at all. A similar accident happened in my country a few months ago, only the bridge was a light people-only bridge. And it collapsed over the cars below, killing a lot of people. So i can’t laugh when i see this, and i can’t understand how the people filming this can. This is a serious accident and they are lucky that the only damage was to the rig, because if the bridge failed, they would have been among the victims for sure.
Quick, what’s the fastest way to total a rollback?
*rock hauler
Don’t look at me like that, it’s 3:30 AM. >:[
OMFG that looked cool! and yet it could have looked a little more extreme if he weren’t wearing a seatbelt
LOL, i donbt want to drive in my car behind that thing xD LOL
Alex, you just whine about nothing, no people were ingured here.
It’s in Germany 100% as they speak german – (duh) without austrian accent but rather a local accent of the south-western part of Germany. I live there
I don’t drive so correct moi, but shouldn’t one of these drivers have been going the other way down the road? I mean, there’s a barrier in between the two vehicles so like doesn’t that mean one lot of traffic should be going in the opposite direction? So is this, like fake?
what assholes they could at least pretend to try and warn him
I was in the car driving to six flags when this happened, I think I was like one car ahead of the guy taking this video… :O
