12:40 i just want to highlight something here. the effect of "someone call 911!" versus "you call 911!" the guy in black that ran over to help get them out originally just yells "call 911 now!" without directing it to anyone. a few seconds later, realizing everyone was just looking at the crash, he makes eye contact (presumably) with the guy in the pinkish pants and asks him "can you call 911?" the guy in the pink pants immediately pulls out his phone and starts dialing. it is important in an emergency to DESIGNATE someone to call 911. if you just say "someone call 911" no one is going to, because everyone is going to assume someone else is calling.

The law might stay the same but interpretations change.
HAZARD LIGHTS..... that's what people are NOT turning on. They are suppose to be turned on anytime you are stopped on the road or side of road no matter the reason. They let signals to other drivers to use caution or to slow down for wrecks or for any car that is moving too slow or stopped (wrecked, pile up, broken down, flat tire, pulled over by cop, and any other reason. Why are they NOT being taught and used?
Because they dont show up in the text app of the phone youre looking at while driving on the highway and only look away from every 30 seconds so no one will notice anyway...
When I first delivered a semi-load in a reefer in Chicago (lots of low bridges) a taxi driver there gave me some good advice. He said if I ended up in a situation where I was about to go under a low clearance bridge I should just stop, call the police, and they would help me back out of the situation. He said they would rather assist you than you attempting to sneak under the bridge. He gave good advice. BTW, he also told me that towing companies would offer home owners near a low bridge $1000 to call them when a truck got sandwiched under the bridge. These accidents end up being quite profitable for towing companies if they are first on the scene.
I just can't put my head around why big trucks stop at the rail crossings just because they are blocked by a skinny gate pole which they could easily break through. Instead they just freeze there until the train come crashing into them.
When this happens, it's usually because the crossing forms a large hump and has "grounded" the long vehicle, preventing it from dragging itself all the way through the crossing.
It always astonishes me, how some morons think that the damage from breaking a barrier will be more than from being hit by a train. BTW - I know this level crossing very well. There was no excuse. The limit was 50km/h, the visibility is virtually perfect. He just wanted to outrun the train.
Generally the most those gates do is maybe dent a bumper or crack a windshield, they are meant to break. It astounds me that people don't know this. That or they think some small damage and possibly a fine is worth having a totaled vehicle and risking their life.
I have seen some gates with springs like a swinging door. You are to drive through them, and the gates at worst will "key" scratch down the side of your car. Once past, the gate swings back in place. Usually, the spring is in the direction of traffic flow. However, I have seen a few that are double sprung like a bar door.
What's with people speeding in the winter time, when the roads are slippery. It doesn't matter what snow tires you have, it won't stop anyone from slowing down quickly.
What's wrong with the idiots not moving their cars to the side of the road? Why would you just leave it blocking the road? They're the reason so many more cars crashed.
People tend to forget that a tire has the same surface area touching the ground as the average shoe. So if you as a person slide a 1.5 Ton car will slide for sure.
Believe me, there are drivers here who ask the same question! “Hey numnuts! It’s ice! It happens EVERY year! Stop driving like it’s July!” Though, to be fair, I believe we’d had some light precipitation in the evening the night before and in the early morning hours that day. The highs a few days earlier had been well above freezing (low 40s to high 30s), melting what was on and next to the freeway for four days before dropping into the single digits on the 12th. At least when it’s actively snowing, people generally pay closer attention. Generally. There are still supremely stupid drivers.
Here are the reasons, I think, why people drive like that: some don't adjust to weather conditions, they think they can drive like the roads are dry. They don't compensated for cold or wet roads; they don't pay attention to weather forecasts; SUV drivers think SUVs can do the same things what they see in those car commercials (which are controlled conditions); and, most of all, they are usually not paying attention driving and maybe doing something else, like being on the phone, watching social media.
@@Bjoery Sadly some of these people even arrives literally inside your home with their cars. Staying inside is not even safe. Heck, think about that space trash that fell from space straight to a Florida home.....
13:42 - I'm sorry, how do some people get into minor fender benders and leave with broken bones, but these guys fall, upside down, off of a 2 story dropoff and can run away from the crash seemingly without serious injury? You know they weren't wearing any seat belts, either.
When someone is drunk their bodies are very relaxed. If you aren't drunk you tense up and the natural inclination is to lock your legs and arms when you see you are about to crash.
Humans are like phones when it comes to damage. you can drop a phone 10 feet and wont have a scratch. set it down on the couch and the whole screen is suddenly broken.
When it comes to winter weather, it's not the snowstorms that scare me, it's the ice storms. Snowstorms causes some slick conditions but are tolerable just for as long as you go slow and avoid those black ice spots as much as possible. It also helps if you have 4-wheel drive for going over hills. Ice storms (the kind where you see icicles coating the trees) create very scary road conditions where you feel like you're on black ice the whole time. There are also branches falling onto them due to the ice weight.
In local slippery conditions, it is usually the 4 wheel drive vehicles that end up in the ditch or cause an accident. Too many seem seem to believe that they are immune to the conditions.
The Minnesota truck flips were about 2 miles north of our home... Road construction later that year caused two fatal accidents in exactly the same spot as the truck spanning the highway.
It's unbelievable that these moments were captured by traffic cameras! Each situation has its own surprise, making me wonder how many other strange events have happened that we haven't seen yet.
As a survivor of a car-train accident 40 years ago, I still stop or slow down at every railroad track, even if I know the tracks have been abandoned. For your information, the conductor said to me, "If I had been a second slower, my car would have gone under the first car of the train. I bounced off the engine part of the train, which probably saved my life." It was not my fault, since the train warning lights were not working. My Toyota was repaired, but it never ran well afterward. I just had a few minor bumps and bruises, thank you.
2:50 Oh I remember this VIVIDLY! I had started my own flight training in Waterloo, ON in August that same year. The flight centre was ABUZZ about this landing. It was literally perfect in EVERY way possible because they kept the plane above the overpass, below the sign and even PULLED OVER! Buttonville airport is now closed down. I had the pleasure of doing a touch-and-go on its surface prior to demolition. The plane involved was a flight school plane based at Buttonville. When you fly planes like that, there is always a risk. They are used by so many different pilots, and information about how a plane behaves doesn’t flow back to maintenance or forward to the next pilot very well. Thankfully, the 1974 Piper PA-28-151 Warrior had an instructor on board at the time the engine quit which is one of the reasons this ended so well. The plane has since been repaired and continues to successfully fly today.
My ears perked at the first Minnesota clip and then they kept coming! Yes, I remember all of those being on the local news. I’m surprised you didn’t have the clip of the truck that flew off a highway 694 overpass near Brooklyn Park after hitting a patch of ice and losing control in January 2014. That was caught on a traffic cam too. Looked like a stunt from a Hollywood movie.
I am that point of the video and as I am not American, I cannot understand the sentence, 'Lakeville Minnesota, is the largest city of Dakota county.' Like is Minnesota a county itself? PLease help me if I am just uneducated 😂
@@Replicanna-rl6zg, each state is divided into counties, not unlike England or Ireland. The counties take care of their roads that aren’t under the jurisdiction of the state or individual cities, but also manage water, utilities, and other services. They maintain a sheriff’s department and run branches of state departments (like motor vehicles, emergency services, libraries or revenue) as subdivisions of the state government. The counties also run the elections whether they are local, statewide or national. So Minnesota is the state. When we name locations here, we use city and state. Lakeville is a small city just south of Minneapolis and St. Paul in Dakota County and is considered part of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. It is a big enough city to have its own police department, but the county sheriff’s department also has jurisdiction. St. Paul is in Ramsey County and Minneapolis is in Hennepin County. The Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area actually involves 7 counties, including Hennepin, Ramsey and Dakota. Does that help?
That plane really was lucky! It's amazing how the circumstances lined up for them to land on the 407 instead of the 401. Do you know any details about the landing-like what kind of plane it was or what caused it to make that emergency landing? It's incredible to think about how much worse it could have been on a busier road like the 401!
The worst thing you can do in a truck pulling a van in high cross winds is to stop. You are now at the mercy of the winds. I've seen lots of trucks blown over that way. Keep a hard pull on the trailer . I've seen lots of daylight under the rear trailer tires but they have always come back down . If you feel you must stop, do it in a way that you are facing into the wind.
"Grandma" should never be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle again! She missed her chance by not starting when she was still reasonably with it!
great video! the editing was top-notch and some of those moments were jaw-dropping. however, i wonder if these cameras are actually more of a distraction than a safety tool? sometimes it seems like people are more focused on avoiding getting caught than actually driving safely. what do you all think?
It’s crazy seeing just what police officers do. I know people think some are bad or all of them are bad but I know that can’t be all true, officers are people too and if you are one I have so much respect for you
I'll never understand the clips that show people stuck on a railroad track, because they can't seem to get past the railroad track safety arm thing. Just about any vehicle, big or small, can accelerate past those barriers. Its just flimsy wood. Its not some huge metal barrier. Sure, you may get in trouble for destruction of railroad property, but considering the alternative.....I'll take the fine. Now the one in this video does appear to be a metal pole. But its still no match for a vehicle. You could accelerate past and bend it out.
Driving compels us to be responsible, mature, and polite. If you ignore the laws and our responsibility for common decency -- you'll pay the price. Have a nice day! * Cav *
In the 9 trailer flips, I see the camera shaking, and I see the trees whipping in the wind, but the grass is Sooooooooooooo short, that I can hardly see much of any movement from it.
That low bridge reminds me of a trip to a barbers short back and sides and a bit off the top. The police had no idea how the hole appeared in the road but they're looking into it. 😊
So I have to chime in here as a truck driver and say that when i see that many trucks blowing over I first feel bad that it happened but then that feeling is eclipsed by my annoyance due to alot of them being completely avoidable. Now sure, there are unexpected and unavoidable circumstances but mostly it's truckers putting themselves in potentially dangerous situations trying to "keep on trucking". By doing proper trip planning, which includes checking and being aware the weather conditions on your route, you can avoid almost any weather related incident. If you know that you are empty or running a light load and the forecast is for high winds then keep the truck off of the roads...it's that simple. I know that no one wants down time but waiting a few hours for winds is better than laying the truck on its side and damaging it, the load, possibly you or other motorists.
This is why they run. In fairly built up areas with decent resources, it's fairly shocking tbh, that poor old man did not deserve that kind of injustice. "Protect and serve" 🤔

Back in the late 1970-80s, I believe, on the Hwy 394 through Minneapolis. A Volkswagen cut off a bus who had to swerve but since the road had frozen early that morning, it was all black ice. On the opposite of the road, motorists saw the pile up starting and slowed down to watch but, unfortunately, the same thing started on that side after that. 301 cars were involved in that accident and the insurance companies had to pay through their noses. I believe it almost forced a couple of them into bankruptcy.
I doubt if it affected the insurance companies that much - unless some of the insurers were small local companies. The usual large national insurers make billions of dollars every year. Even at $100,00/vehicle, that only comes to about $30 million.

Didn’t even get the right Cherokee for the reference picture. They said it was a warrior and showed an arrow. As well as calling it a Pipe instead of a Piper.
Great video! The moments you captured are seriously mind-blowing. But I can't help but wonder, do you think traffic cameras really make our roads safer, or are they just a way for cities to boost their revenue? It's definitely a hot topic!
Brooklyn Park is a suburb of Minneapolis. If you put the correct street address and ZIP code, but wrote Minneapolis instead of Brooklyn Park, your post would still get there. So yeah, part of a large, Midwest metropolitan area. Jesse “The Body” Ventura was mayor of that city before becoming our governor in 1999.

The worst thing you can do in a truck pulling a van in high cross winds is to stop. You are now at the mercy of the winds. I've seen lots of trucks blown over that way. Keep a hard pull on the trailer . I've seen lots of daylight under the rear trailer tires but they have always come back down . If you feel you must stop, do it in a way that you are facing into the wind.
... which is not possible on a long stretch of highway.
21:10 Wow, imagine looking like that at 63 years old. Impressive. 👌
And Argentina obviously has different SUVs than the rest of the world.
I don't think that was her. Maybe just some video used for this purpose. ???
🙂
It's a small Volkswagen Gol III built by Volkswagen do Brasil.
@@SiqueScarface actually it's a VW Polo V which is even smaller than the Golf III (but only by a little bit)
@@aviation.001 It‘s a Gol, not a Golf. You find them only in South America and Mexico.
Love the map & location bit .
So two different Cessna aircraft miraculously turn into a Piper in a matter of seconds. No wonder it had engine trouble!
And two different Pipers. The 2nd one was an Arrow. The first one was a Warrior and a Pipe if you believe the narrator.
First decent commentary that I have come accross.
How do you not see a massive hole in the road
Don't you have Chinese drivers in your neighbourhood?
Looking at your phone, maybe?
Distracted by a pretty girl on the side of the road?
he was either fapping or texting or ... sexting while fapping.
It happens.
This channel is excellent! Never change.
"Grandma" should never be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle again! She missed her chance by not starting when she was still reasonably with it!
All those trucks just on their side is so goofy
Russians roads are chaotic, is there just no rules?
great video! the editing was top-notch and some of those moments were jaw-dropping. however, i wonder if these cameras are actually more of a distraction than a safety tool? sometimes it seems like people are more focused on avoiding getting caught than actually driving safely. what do you all think?
"Hey look out for that huge hole in the middle of the roa.....yeah nevermind".
It’s crazy seeing just what police officers do. I know people think some are bad or all of them are bad but I know that can’t be all true, officers are people too and if you are one I have so much respect for you
"ice strikes when you least expect it" LOL It would be better called artificial stupidity.
These traffic camera moments are wild! I couldn’t believe some of these actually happened on the road 😱🚗
I'll never understand the clips that show people stuck on a railroad track, because they can't seem to get past the railroad track safety arm thing. Just about any vehicle, big or small, can accelerate past those barriers. Its just flimsy wood. Its not some huge metal barrier. Sure, you may get in trouble for destruction of railroad property, but considering the alternative.....I'll take the fine.
Now the one in this video does appear to be a metal pole. But its still no match for a vehicle. You could accelerate past and bend it out.
Of course, if he were that smart he wouldn't have ignored the crossing signals.
@@Fred-mp1vf That's a fair point.
The beam wasn't meant to prevent accidents, it was meant to protect the bridge.
How many blown over trucks were loaded, vs unloaded ?
I bet the ones that got blown over were carrying light stuff like paper towels or toilet paper.
Very clear information, i like it 👍🏼👌
Driving compels us to be responsible, mature, and polite. If you ignore the laws and our responsibility for common decency -- you'll pay the price. Have a nice day! * Cav *
@11:30 They have better clearance now😅
The granny doing the test, did do something right, the hazard warning lights were on.
Thanks for an enjoyable 25 minutes.
Coincidently, they were all single and end up dating eachother, a Valentine's Crash Date. 😂
Very Nice Video 👍👍👍
12:05 POV: Me every time I try to complete a stunt jump in GTA5:
In the 9 trailer flips, I see the camera shaking, and I see the trees whipping in the wind, but the grass is Sooooooooooooo short, that I can hardly see much of any movement from it.
People need to pay attention to the surrounding area.
And to slow down!
Wooooow nice transition 👍
21:30 thats no suv, thats vw polo!
IKR? Shame
I love the way he words it all
The Argentinian grandma still drives way better than most people in California.
Try Utah
That low bridge reminds me of a trip to a barbers short back and sides and a bit off the top. The police had no idea how the hole appeared in the road but they're looking into it. 😊
Wowwww.. crazy. Thank you
@0:20 "...caught on camera."
Thank you for pointing out that those scenes were from cameras. I thought that they were cartoons.
@12:10
That moment when Google Maps fails you.
MINNESOTA MENTIONED
So I have to chime in here as a truck driver and say that when i see that many trucks blowing over I first feel bad that it happened but then that feeling is eclipsed by my annoyance due to alot of them being completely avoidable. Now sure, there are unexpected and unavoidable circumstances but mostly it's truckers putting themselves in potentially dangerous situations trying to "keep on trucking". By doing proper trip planning, which includes checking and being aware the weather conditions on your route, you can avoid almost any weather related incident. If you know that you are empty or running a light load and the forecast is for high winds then keep the truck off of the roads...it's that simple. I know that no one wants down time but waiting a few hours for winds is better than laying the truck on its side and damaging it, the load, possibly you or other motorists.
Almost every flipped truck I see _in videos_ has their trailer tandems forward. Makes it too easy to tip.
WOW! The cops let that first guy get away after he killed someone, smh That's a lousy police force!!!
Yeah😢😢😢
This is why they run. In fairly built up areas with decent resources, it's fairly shocking tbh, that poor old man did not deserve that kind of injustice. "Protect and serve" 🤔
It should be possible to find him with the numberplate
Keep defunding the police less training less money for better equipment and also department policies and slap on the wrist policing it's sad
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Stolen truck.
Every time I hear about a car accident, it reminds me to always drive cautiously.
7:10 That's a bus which got rear-ended, and it's a tram, not a train
It's a tram, which is a type of train.
The last clip I’d have been the one to do a face plant in the mud. Great video. Thank you
IM sorry but we don't need narration, it drags it out, just the footage will do.
I get your point but, as a blind individual I find it to be very helpful actually in me knowing what's happening.
u could literally just go find someone who doesn’t narrate it, like, grow up.
@@BrotherTimothyClarkhow do you type and read text
@@WangerSolozzz aHere's to hoping RUclips tagged the correct person.
That's a good question, I use VoiceOver with is a screen reader. It reads what's on my screen. I type in braille via something called Braille Screen Input.
These are both IOS tools made by Apple.
*which* is a screen reader
Notice how the trucks at the can opener bridge are running red lights?
Back in the late 1970-80s, I believe, on the Hwy 394 through Minneapolis. A Volkswagen cut off a bus who had to swerve but since the road had frozen early that morning, it was all black ice. On the opposite of the road, motorists saw the pile up starting and slowed down to watch but, unfortunately, the same thing started on that side after that. 301 cars were involved in that accident and the insurance companies had to pay through their noses. I believe it almost forced a couple of them into bankruptcy.
Couldn’t be 394 because that didn’t open until 1991. Are you talking about the ice storm in 1982 or 83? I forget which, but I was in college.
I doubt if it affected the insurance companies that much - unless some of the insurers were small local companies. The usual large national insurers make billions of dollars every year.
Even at $100,00/vehicle, that only comes to about $30 million.
When i passed my test, my dad told me "you are about to become either the worlds smartest or dumbest guided missiles, and highlighted to me a recent tragedy, how much damage a speeding car can do to a queue of people at a bust stop...... that moment has never left me.
Why are so many of these in Minnesota?
Idk but I ain’t complaining
Comes out of nowhere? Ridiculous phrase. No thing can come from nowhere. The taxi most definitely came from somewhere.
According to atheists, the universe came out of nowhere, along with all of us.
@@Fred-mp1vfbs no one’s claiming that, still, anything is better than believing in imaginary beings and not being capable of thinking for yourself. Tosser.
Guys wake up there’s a plane on the highway way! 😂😂😂
whats the point in watching the vid when you show most of the bits in the first 30 seconds...
My thoughts exactly, just ruins any surprise of watching it all.
3:00 It's always fun for an aviation enthusiast when you see a video that shows just random airplanes that look nothing alike. Like a Cessna 150, a 2 seat high wing tricycle gear configuration, a Cessna 140 (a tail dragger version of the 150) and finally the airplane that is the subject of the vide, a 4 seat low wing Piper.
Didn’t even get the right Cherokee for the reference picture. They said it was a warrior and showed an arrow. As well as calling it a Pipe instead of a Piper.
Plane was ticketed for unpaid toll
You sure have a strange definition of SUV. 😂
The narrator amd writer really should watch the video, the tram one is so had.
Narrator is ai voice shit.
great video!
Hi
I was so scared for what would happen in a serial car crash nicknamed "the valentine massacre 2". Glad to see that everyone survived that one.
Came here for the thumbnail explosion. 😡
Best to leave with a thumbs down, hopefully some algorithm drags it to the bin.
RUclips needs a thumbnail clickbait button.
Great video! The moments you captured are seriously mind-blowing. But I can't help but wonder, do you think traffic cameras really make our roads safer, or are they just a way for cities to boost their revenue? It's definitely a hot topic!
wOw! A LaRgE CiTy oF 80,000 PEePlE. I wonder how they would characterize-- oh, i don't know, say a city that's ACTUALLY large. SMH

Brooklyn Park is a suburb of Minneapolis. If you put the correct street address and ZIP code, but wrote Minneapolis instead of Brooklyn Park, your post would still get there. So yeah, part of a large, Midwest metropolitan area.
Jesse “The Body” Ventura was mayor of that city before becoming our governor in 1999.
Thanks
