That is scary.  And we don't know what all is on the highways just as dangerous.

Several years ago a warehouse full of various types of gas canisters caught fire in Tulsa. I heard there were canisters flying for blocks. Of course with all of these "bombs" flying around the firemen couldn't get close til things were pretty much burnt out.

I worked for Sherwin Williams in  the mid to late 90s. They had a huge warehouse fire in Ohio, 55 gallon drums of paint were shooting a couple  of hundred feet in the  air. All started because an aerosol paint can was run over by a forklift in a trailer. They used the fire dept video for safety training, it was hours before they could even get close. Couldn't use water on the fire because of contaminating the ground water. Building was a total loss.

I was in Taiwan just after Christmas this year,  and saw this.  An accident waiting to happen.

Cant see it on the picture but the guy was smoking as well.  Yes Just a single strap holding the 100'lbs ers to the seat.

I suppose the truck was a complete loss?

Wow.. this reminds me of the family of 5 we saw in Mexico one year on a scooter. Not a motor cycle, a scooter. It was Dad,kid,mom,kid and mom was carrying a little one on her hip. Oh yea and no helmets.

I saw this (Peabody's) video a month or two ago. It was apparently taken in Russia, where almost everybody has a dash-cam. Not sure what the reasoning is behind all the dash-cams, entertainment or proof of liability? If you look at the road signs (before the crashing and explosions start), they appear to be in cyrillic.

However,  having been hit in the driver's door (Mazda 323) by a Kenworth turning right from the left lane while signalling for a left turn...and in an illegal turn...I don't trust "professional" truck drivers very much, and do my best to stay the heck away from them. They're not as good as they used to be, for sure.  Steve
