I actually looked this vid up about a year ago. It was a guy and his young son. He managed to get his passenger side door open to shove his son out of the way and he was able to squeeze into the passenger seat before the roof came crashing down. It completely squashed the driver side of the truck.. it is completely amazing to me how close he came to instadeath.
From the local news station where it happened:
“The accident happened at the Texas State Bank in Center City, Texas, on July 2nd. As the canopy comes crashing down it clips the truck but fortunately the dad and his 10-year-old son were not hurt.”
That’s what I wondered too, but if look at the video a second time in slow motion (clicking the play-pause button several times) you can see the roof collapse just before the cab instead of squeezing it. I think this is the driver’s mistake : he was probably aware of his height but understimated the width of what he was towing.
if you look at the video closely, you can see that it only hit a small part of the driver side of the car. he wasn’t trying to pull in, he was going to the other side of the parking lot but a corner of the trailer got caught.
I didn’t realize how bad it actually looked until I watched it again, but if you look at Dragonwriter’s posts up there ^^^^ it appears everyone walked away from it.
NS, I think you will sympathize with me. These are the types of ‘professionals’ I work with. The whole sentence you see here was written in the Subject line of the email note. The.Whole.Damn.Sentence. Body of email? You guessed it … BLANK.
“The role that adds NBAL to security roles in production will be updated soon. No need to ask for further security. I will let you know when it its done.”
I, too, feel your pain, sweetie. One of my job duties is to read a trade magazine that is — I’m not kidding you — so full of typos (even in the damn ads!) that I have to stop and correct them (in my head) about every other paragraph! It’s maddening! This is a very widely-known publication. You’d think they’d proofread it before it gets printed every other month!
Confession of the day: during my walk yesterday, one of my googies dropped ‘it’. I usually carry plastic bags with me. Apparently I dropped the bags at one point when I pulled a tissue out of my pocket. I left the ‘drops’ and I feel bad. Fortunately it was on the grass but still…
Good thing the edge of the roof there just caught the door and didn’t actually flatten the cab of that truck. Hopefully he survived to fail another day.
Why in the hell do you stupid people never comment on the video or picture, but instead you losers always “hug” and “squeeze” and joke around and write all that other stupid stuff? Get out of the house and make a freakin’ friend or two!!!! Comment on the dang video or stfu!!!!!! Video was awesome, btw.
Seriously though guys, take it to IRC. These are video comments. People read them to see if the person died or was secretly a man. They don’t care about your wordplays (clever as they may be) or how 95% of you are men trying to court the 5% which are women*.
And just how many comments can one make about a trailer that hits an overhang? We have made friends! And we “meet” here to talk. What on earth could be wrong with that?
I have a ghost myself in my house. Hes quite friendly. Try treating the eye tea and crumpets. They like that. I know my ghost does. And if I don’t get him tea or crumpets he’ll probably sodomize me and my parnets while we’re asleep and then burn down the house leaving us all to burn to death chained to our beds with semen in our faces… Was that too far?
That’s not remotely funny. You’ve been making strange comments ever since you started posting here a few days ago. You might want to consider lurking a bit more to get better acquainted with the humo(u)r here.
Doesn’t anyone else realize that this video showed someone being crushed to death? The heavy corner of the roof flattened the driver’s side of the cab and even bent the truck’s frame.
Jason is right. Either comment on the video or go to a chat room to talk to one another. Most people don’t want to wade through 100 friendly hellos to get to relevant comments. I realize you’re not trying to be rude but it’s the main reason I rarely bother with reading comments on this site.
Their roof was plenty strong I’m sure. The problem is those roofs aren’t intended to take the horizontal stress of 2 tons of metal ramming into it sideways!
I have no problem what-so-ever with you guys chatting completely randomly and having your version of fun, but for the LOVE OF GOD. All I ever want to see is some comments on the actual video or image.
But can I? Apparently, no way.
It amazes me that so many of you post literally hundreds of nonsense, random comments and seemingly see nothing wrong with that at all. I mean, do you understand how annoying this is? To scroll down and down and down and not see a single legitimate reply? Just … crap. Waste of time crap.
I just want to see information or comments on the video. Please.
You know, Jimbob solved the big mystery a while back, that is if you didn’t know about the video before today. It’s at a bank in Texas, and according to NBC/AP, the father and son escaped without injury. It does look pretty bad though.
Normally I am liberalism all the way, but I think showing this video (especially in this way) is really disrespectful. It looks like the person in the car was pulverized and suffered great injury (if not death).
This is my home town! The guy and his son were passing through town (and they both survived). The brick columns supporting the awning were free standing with the awning just sitting on top. It’s a surprise that a strong gust of wind didn’t blow it down before this!
Failblog should remove this video. The person was clearly crushed in this incident and most probably died. This is not a pleasant video to watch. PLEASE REMOVE IMMEDIATELY.
So who ends up paying for this mess? Hope the driver doesn’t weasel out of it because ‘oh I cud’ve been hurt.’ Oblivious drivers like these can kill others and deserve our scorn. Scorn!
Look very closely, the end of the roof is shown knocking off the side mirror. This must mean that the roof just barely missed the cab. Sorry to disappoint any sick people out there, but the passengers didn’t die, their truck just got owned…
Actually im pretty sure it flattened the roof of the truck. Look closely and also watch the video frame by frame and it looks like the truck got crushed which probably DID kill the passengers. It doesnt make me a sick person to say this, its just that it looks like thats what happened.
I don’t care how “funny” someone thinks this is, though it is an epic “fail.” But to witness what could have been a person getting killed or at best horribly injured, is no laughing matter and very disturbing. I vote “FAIL” for FailBlog posting this without finding out how the driver fared.
Did he die? Lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

A truck/caravn combo goes into an overhang.
Seriously.
LOL!
I hate it when that happens.
And as you can probably guess from the below comments, the overhang falls on to the truck.
As you will also see, as you actually read the comments, fortunately nobody was hurt.

I think we both made comments about the care trolls when this was a “new” video.
After a look at the old comments, maybe not. I must have been relatively new then. My deepest apologies!
But what is a seat beat?
FB comments have certainly changed a lot from August ’08!
You were “new” here once?
I thought that you were part of the original code.

The only thing injured was the driver’s pride.
I love it when you come play with us on FB, LCB! You’re one funny lady!
Although my lolcats have all been stolen, AGAIN.
Den mother yelled at him later.
Yes, but after the cub scout meeting.
Was that at the mane branch?
Actually if I recall from last time this was shown, the driver managed to get out the passenger side of the car in time to avoid major injury.
Did he die?
Don’t be such a fecking idiot!!!!
OoOoo LeiLei, is that ‘feck’ in reference to Almost Famous??

Is that a movie? If so, speak to LGB…she will tell you what’s up with that.
I hope you do!
Still alive.
You can clearly see that the canopy crushed the cab. I am not so sure what’s so funny about this. :[
I was equally concerned when the whole fu©king roof comes down on the cab.
I wouldn’t like to bet on anyone laughing if they actually saw this IRL.
From the local news station where it happened:
“The accident happened at the Texas State Bank in Center City, Texas, on July 2nd. As the canopy comes crashing down it clips the truck but fortunately the dad and his 10-year-old son were not hurt.”
Nice to hear no one got hurt – last thing wanted to do was laugh.
Have to wonder/blame the guys who build that overhang. *That* just shouldn’t have happened.
That’s what I wondered too, but if look at the video a second time in slow motion (clicking the play-pause button several times) you can see the roof collapse just before the cab instead of squeezing it. I think this is the driver’s mistake : he was probably aware of his height but understimated the width of what he was towing.
(No one was hurt, Leila…see my post above!)
*squeeze*
I did.
Thanks again.
*squeeze*
if you look at the video closely, you can see that it only hit a small part of the driver side of the car. he wasn’t trying to pull in, he was going to the other side of the parking lot but a corner of the trailer got caught.
If you watch the video, it merely skims the drivers side door…the camera isn’t so lucky.
*winces*
*waits for the ubiquitous “old” and “Fail Bog fail” comments*
Shopped!
The “Ca” is a darker font than the “mera02″ in “Camera02″ (that is, until disaster strikes)
BUUUUUUUKKIT!
It fell in the Fail Bog. Sorry.
how weak a structure has to be to collapse so easily oO
When it’s been built by the lowest bidder? It’s really not all that much of a surprise when it collapses after being hit by almost any vehicle.
Well, It was a Dodge Ram truck. And he did not dodge it, so the trailer rammed it.
how is that funny? there is no way that person survived….
yeah was not a smart thing to do, but man, have a heart.
I didn’t realize how bad it actually looked until I watched it again, but if you look at Dragonwriter’s posts up there ^^^^ it appears everyone walked away from it.
Of course they did. They couldn’t very well drive, could they?
Well no, but their wings were severely damaged as well. So flying away was also out of the question.
And from the looks of it, the teleporter was crushed in the collision. Darn the luck.
Don’t worry. Scotty will fix it. Won’t you, Scotty?
Oh, yeah. That’ll buff right out.
beam me up?
Sorry…red shirt…it’s in the script.
Oh yes, that goes without saying. As does the fact that the overhang fell right on top of the pool dashing any hope of swimming away.
The Segways were also damaged in the accident.
No scooting for them.
The wind was only a measly 5 mph that day.
Alas, they couldn’t drift away.
Their sense of rhythm was compromised so they can’t waltz away.
The deck was destroyed so they couldn’t shuffle away.
The cannon was damaged and they couldn’t fire away.
They were out of bubble bath, so Calgon wouldn’t take them away.
DING! DING! DING!

It’s maddening! This is a very widely-known publication. You’d think they’d proofread it before it gets printed every other month!
They survived. Watch it again. They caught the corner of the structure. It looks like it slides down the side of the truck.
I hope he died
I feel sorry for that guy
This is a fail I can’t understand. The people didn’t survive, did they?

Well, this has bean earlier on failblog. :/
No sh!t, Sherlock.
It’s the Friday Rewind.
ie, a rewind to past fails. On Friday.
Ah, that explains a lot. =)
did he died?
Ask it to the driver.
i hope the driver wasn t hurt, looks really bad
good thing this happened across the street from an auto zone!!!
Snipe!
Good eye, mate.
He scoped that one out pretty well, I’d say.
I can’t believe I missed it. I guess I was too busy rifling through the comments.
I barrel right through them sometimes, too.
Lol! Your stock just continues to rise in my book, LGBee.
It musket pretty high before you sell!
Nah, you’re a keeper -nothing could ever trigger that sale.

Good thing the edge of the roof there just caught the door and didn’t actually flatten the cab of that truck. Hopefully he survived to fail another day.
Oh my goodness! That structure is a piece of crap

Seriously though guys, take it to IRC. These are video comments. People read them to see if the person died or was secretly a man. They don’t care about your wordplays (clever as they may be) or how 95% of you are men trying to court the 5% which are women*.

Interestingly he has mentioned the fail either.
There’s a fail? Where?
I think I saw one up there ^^^^^ somewhere. Not sure.
*lifts an arm and smells*
Yup, not Sure. Its Secret.
That’s not even funny. The roof fell on the cab of the truck D: If the guy wasn’t killed, he was probably really hurt.
No, he wasn’t, if you had bothered to read the comments, you’d know that.
Comments? There are comments here? Where?
Oh right, because I should believe the comments people make on here? Lawl.

Yeah, I’d like to laugh but seeing what happened to the truck I find it likely that the driver died. Way to bring me down Failblog.

Jebus!!! It looked like the dude in the truck was crushed to death!! god that was horrible!!
Did anybody else see and eye really close to the screen just before it ended? O.o I dunno if it’s just me but I’m seriously spooked now :S
The eye will haunt you when you sleep. And when you’re awake it will be hiding from under your bed and inside the closet both at the same time.
o.o Thanks for that. You really put my mind at rest >.<
I have a ghost myself in my house. Hes quite friendly. Try treating the eye tea and crumpets. They like that. I know my ghost does. And if I don’t get him tea or crumpets he’ll probably sodomize me and my parnets while we’re asleep and then burn down the house leaving us all to burn to death chained to our beds with semen in our faces… Was that too far?

Whoever thought that a holiday could go THAT WRONG?
Well that guy clearly died
i bet they were really pissed when it didn’t kill them so they had to pay for a new one and didn’t get the deposit
It looks like it killed this fella. I mean if you watch it, it looks like the roof smashed the car right where the driver is.
The Dude Was Totaled
Doesn’t anyone else realize that this video showed someone being crushed to death? The heavy corner of the roof flattened the driver’s side of the cab and even bent the truck’s frame.
READ THE BLASTED COMMENTS!!!!!

serious question..did he die? HONEST
well i think its no very funny to just show the death of a person
thought failblogs better =/
Roof construction fail.
Jason is right. Either comment on the video or go to a chat room to talk to one another. Most people don’t want to wade through 100 friendly hellos to get to relevant comments. I realize you’re not trying to be rude but it’s the main reason I rarely bother with reading comments on this site.
is the driver die?
He’s dead right ?
Lol, wth?! Camper WIN!
Most people here don’t really read comments do they?
Did he die?
did he died
Are you completely blind? Of course, he died!
So let him rest in peace…
Hope he/she/it was Ok…
1 dies and many laugh. What a bunch of stupid lamers here with stupid comments too. This was on Ogrish a long time ago.
Now seriously, the dude is on the highway to hell. I bet that the gas station/etc. has learned about the strength of their roofs.
Their roof was plenty strong I’m sure. The problem is those roofs aren’t intended to take the horizontal stress of 2 tons of metal ramming into it sideways!
There’s no way anyone could have survived that.
And if I’m wrong, well, that’s just lame.
I have no problem what-so-ever with you guys chatting completely randomly and having your version of fun, but for the LOVE OF GOD. All I ever want to see is some comments on the actual video or image.
But can I? Apparently, no way.
It amazes me that so many of you post literally hundreds of nonsense, random comments and seemingly see nothing wrong with that at all. I mean, do you understand how annoying this is? To scroll down and down and down and not see a single legitimate reply? Just … crap. Waste of time crap.
I just want to see information or comments on the video. Please.
I completely agree. I appreciate their community, but that’s what forums are for. Not blog post comment threads.
thats not a gas station its a bank
Oh, hey there 2008 video. It’s been a few years since I saw you last. Welcome back!
You know, Jimbob solved the big mystery a while back, that is if you didn’t know about the video before today. It’s at a bank in Texas, and according to NBC/AP, the father and son escaped without injury. It does look pretty bad though.
Is he… dead?
the airbags protected him form the race horse
Really? REALLY? R-E-A-L-L-Y? Wow.
That happened in my town once, and the driver said he wasn’t going to buy gas, just stopped to ask for some information
Seriously .. did he die?
Whats what i was going to ask…
that roof tasted vengance and hit a 32 GOOD FIGHT
This isn’t even funny, that person is probably dead!
Failblog took out my comment of this site. Crappy censorship! At least Amazon, Digg, and others leave in ALL comments, good or bad about their sites.
Did he died?
his whole truck cab was smashed to the ground…. if he didn’t die he must be some where stuck in a bed for the rest of his life….
did the guy who got gas who drove under the awning with the camper died?
Yes. It was in all of the papers tomorrow.
Old as hell.
This must have been in mexico, their lack of building codes makes some of their building collapse at the touch of a feather.
Think it crushed the guy inside?
hmmm,
they guy is obviously crushed to death…. doh
its not funny to see people die
This doesn’t belong on FailBlog. This belongs to DR.
Bad luck his kind is dying out.
They would be a good source of fun.
0 survivors…. its not a funny video….
Is this old vid the original “did he died”-provoker?
The Flintstones have seen this one
um… but they’re dead…
well he’s dead
if a roof collapses in town dose it make a sound
Normally I am liberalism all the way, but I think showing this video (especially in this way) is really disrespectful. It looks like the person in the car was pulverized and suffered great injury (if not death).
totally agree
soooooo he died?
This is my home town! The guy and his son were passing through town (and they both survived). The brick columns supporting the awning were free standing with the awning just sitting on top. It’s a surprise that a strong gust of wind didn’t blow it down before this!
Did he die?
Failblog should remove this video. The person was clearly crushed in this incident and most probably died. This is not a pleasant video to watch. PLEASE REMOVE IMMEDIATELY.
yeah… um…. ok…. don’t you guys think that the guy in this car would of been splatted? but maybe not, i saw it on you’ve been framed!
I’m laughing but it’s not funny. Way to die. Jesus!!!
There is no way the driver made it out of that alive
No seriously, that guy’s dead! Slow down the video, you can see the rear tires POP on the truck!
So who ends up paying for this mess? Hope the driver doesn’t weasel out of it because ‘oh I cud’ve been hurt.’ Oblivious drivers like these can kill others and deserve our scorn. Scorn!
Look very closely, the end of the roof is shown knocking off the side mirror. This must mean that the roof just barely missed the cab. Sorry to disappoint any sick people out there, but the passengers didn’t die, their truck just got owned…
Actually im pretty sure it flattened the roof of the truck. Look closely and also watch the video frame by frame and it looks like the truck got crushed which probably DID kill the passengers. It doesnt make me a sick person to say this, its just that it looks like thats what happened.
More like masonry fail. What a rickety structure.
that’s what you get for letting your retarded cousin build a roof-thingy over your gas-pumps!!

DID HE DIED?
Did he die? No, I’m freaking serious.
I don’t care how “funny” someone thinks this is, though it is an epic “fail.” But to witness what could have been a person getting killed or at best horribly injured, is no laughing matter and very disturbing. I vote “FAIL” for FailBlog posting this without finding out how the driver fared.
This is definitely not funny. The guy/woman in that car didn’t have a chance to survive.
THEY LIVE!
did the driver die?? cuz that truck got pancaked
what teh hell oO
You might be a redneck if…
Did he die? Lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
Is it just me that thinks this looks horribly deadly? I mean, did you see how easily that roof smashed the entire cab!? Man…
Looks like the woman was driving. Only a woman can drive like that! Jeez. If it was me I’d revoke all women’s driver licenses.
What the frick’s wrong with you you sexest motha f*cker! Not only was it a MAN driving, but what does ONE person have to do with a WHOLE gender!!!
this is very sad not funny
outsch
To those who say it’s sad and not funny: stfu. Thanks
that’s got to hurt
God, I’m just happy that it was a bank! At first, I thought it was a gas station, and that would have been awful!!!
OMFG! Did they die ? WTF ? haha
The one time seatbelts would kill you
