Lucky it was found before it was jarred loose into traffic...

No doubt. Wasn't that the cause of the video where the woman takes a brick to the face on the interstate? I've never seen it but people talk about it as if it is completely horrific. Imagine that stone getting whirled around to escape velocity and fired to the rear. shudder

Bricks, rocks, bolts, nuts, bits of cars that fell off, the piece that took the Concord out on a runway...

happens way too often.

I had the misfortune to see that video in its early days, if I could go back in time and stop much younger me from watching it, I wouldn't even stop to think about it.

But unless someone invents a time machine, the sound of the guttural screams of someone realizing they just lost someone they loved forever will stay burned into my memory.

Yup. I watched it and I urge everyone to not do that. I watched it years ago and I can still vividly hear it all.

It was a truck carrying bricks, presumably loose bricks. One fell off, bounced and goes right through the windshield of an oncoming car in the opposite direction. The video is a dashcam of said car. All you hear is the driver or passenger screaming right after.

Happened in Russia I think

Isn’t there also one from the states where some kids threw a brick off the overpass and killed someone’s wife

It's not as rare as it should be. I remember it happened in TN a few years ago because it hit a Nissan GT-R. The driver died.

Right after I moved to Boise, there was an accident on the freeway where some truck hauling steel pipes had one come loose. Went right through the windshield of the person behind them and impaled them. Some real Final Destination type shit.

IIRC you don’t even see the woman. Just the screams and despair of the family in the car with her. Dismal stuff

We have a road through our neighborhood with roundabouts at the entrance and exit to the neighborhood. For some reason semis like to take this road and many of them just drive right over the center sections of the roundabouts. One of them is full of rocks this size and the semis have a tendency to throw them out into the road and it is really obnoxious.

Boring way: release the air pressure in both tires

Fun way: AIR HAMMER!

Right way, wrap a chain around the rock, then around the frame of the truck, drive forward or backward, whichever makes the rock go away from where you hooked the chain to the frame.

I remember the first time this happened to me, I had to call someone and ask what the shit do you do. The chain was what they told me. Thankfully I had some.

I usually just jack them up and loosen the tires. Easiest/safest way.

BrianWantsTruth t1_j6g6ves wrote

You put a chain around the rock, hook up the chain to something stationary and drive away from the rock.

phormix t1_j6irv88 wrote

Or just take off the outer tire and then put it back on again after the rock falls out?

Ince picked up a thunking noise from a back tire driving down s dirt road. Quit if I slowed to a certain speed, but started up again when going faster.

Picked up a pair of pliers in the tread. One grip would fly out and hit the fender when going fast enough.

They better be very careful when removing that. I think I'd be tempted to take the air out of the tires first. Relieve some of that pressure so that it did not shoot across the room

Man this brings back scary memories. Had a family member that was a trucker went with him alot when i was younger and you really see some crazy shit on the road. I saw everything from a fladbed getting rear ended at a stop light of all places. It was funny to cuz like no one ended up hurt granted the car was toast. The truck was good though it just needed a new wire for its tail light and it was free to go! Also seen bolts fly off the wheels. That was one sketchy trip i wont soon forget.

This is what killed my younger siblings Elementary school Principle in the 90’s.

Driving down a Souther California Freeway, he was behind a dump truck, one of these came rocketing through his windshield. Killed him instantly.

i was on my bike once and heard/saw this with a smaller rock. it was about softball sized. the truck was ahead of me, and i stupidly didnt stop and let it go, but was lucky and saved by the mudflap which blocked it after it dislodged.
