January 10, 2007: Amazing, terrifying crash [not graphic]



I thought it would be funny to label this not graphic. Wolf sends along these shots, which apparently document a crash that happened a few days ago, discussed on a Mustang (Ford) fans forum.



Now, first, you have to realize that the truck is facing the wrong way. Look at it.: it's facing towards where it first crashed.

The truck must have hit a barrier or two, launched itself off of a guard rail, jumped! Jumped a massive storm drain! And either spun or tipped or both, in such a way that it was facing the other way. Somehow it wound up sitting on a ridge, and not at the bottom of whatever that ridge sits on top of...

Which is...



Whoa.

Nah, he's been flying high for so long, I think he's due for a big crash. I mean, he's driving by the seat of his pants, it will be his downfall. He's due to receive his comeuppance any day now, or in this case his godownance. After all, you know what they say: pride cometh before the fall. Etc.

The rescuers are probably using the Jaws of Life to pry the drivers hands from the steering wheel.

Good God. It's amazing how bad acrophobia can be; all it takes is these three pictures, and my palms are still sweating.

That driver is one seriously lucky *ucker. Forget playing the lottery, all the luck got used up there.
