Truck crash

[Alcan]

This one's worth a repost:


Look at the picture below and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail (right side where the people are standing on the road). His truck left the road, traveling from right to left. He flipped end-over-end, ACROSS the drainage outlet and landed on the left side of it.





Not that big of a deal, you say? Maybe not until you scroll down and get a different perspective of the crash site.

Ya think maybe his Guardian Angel should have gotten overtime pay for that one?

Hmmm, I'm wondering if it's a photoshop...something doesn't look right to me. If it isn't, then the guys standing on the passenger side of the truck, without having any kind of fall arrest visible, sure have huge brass balls!

Whoa. Incredible. Hadn't considered photoshop, though.

How is the driver?

It's a fugazi, nobody would be standing on the passenger side of that truck

They're not wearing safety harnesses so you could be right! But otherwise, he's one lucky guy!

I would be buying a powerball ticket if that were my truck.

That's one lucky guy!

[MonBK]

The truck is also pointed in the wrong direction?

[77T]

[Cesium133]

Whoa...

[cop414]

That's what we'd have called at work as having a "high pucker" factor...

[skprd13]

Holy smoky I guess the sphincter got real tight when he went over the rail! Lucky bugger I hope he went to church the next day and said a few blessing!

And a few more pix courtesy Urban Legends and Snopes.

"We have verified that the roadway seen in these pictures is Highway 59 (i.e., State Route 59) near Hurricane City, Utah."

Analysis: True. Notwithstanding some initial skepticism about these images when they first began circulating in January 2007, they are authentic, unretouched photographs of a real accident that occurred on State Route 59 near the city of Hurricane, Utah on December 30, 2006. According to a CNN report, Hurricane police chief Lynn Excell has confirmed the entire sequence of events.

The vehicle, a 1991 GMC pickup, was going an estimated 83 miles per hour when the driver lost control, skidded 92 feet onto the right shoulder, swerved across both lanes of the highway onto the opposite shoulder, then crashed through a barricade, striking the culvert below with such force that the truck sailed through the air, flipping end over end, landing upright on a narrow, unpaved right-of-way 20 feet away, approximately one foot from the edge of the deep ravine shown in photo #3. There were no critical injuries.

A police spokesperson described the incident and its miraculous outcome as "amazing."

It didn't look photo-shopped to me at all. Yea, some are pretty good, but those guys may have had plenty of ground to gain footing on the passenger side.
