India. A container lorry driver swerved to avoid a biker entering the road from the left side. The lorry hit a road divider, causing the heavy container to dislodge and fall onto the victim's car.

The motorist, D.A. was commuting to his workplace at an IT firm in Bengaluru and was crushed to death.

Oh, so cute, a crush video for Valentine's day.

In IT terminology he wasn't crushed, he was compressed.

These days it is common for software to be deployed in containers using technologies like Docker or Kubernetes. It appears that there was a "container escape" vulnerability that caused the container to crash, ultimately leading to the compression of the software engineer.

Compression is a process where entropy is removed from data so that it occupies less space. Entropy is randomness, and that container crash was a pretty random event. Unfortunately the compression in this case was lossy, meaning it cannot be reversed so as to reconstruct the original input. Lossing compression is typically used with images and video, the sorts of things that are displayed in a Graphical User Interface or "GUI". I can assure you that the software engineer is now very GUI indeed.

Once his process was killed, he went into what is referred to as a "zombie" state waiting for the kernel (nothing to do with Fried Chicken) to reap him. Once that is done, any resources he used are reclaimed automatically by a garbage collector.

If only he had been backed up, this would not be the end of him.

That’s a heavy squish right there. Maybe you wouldn’t die if you were in an armored truck but I don’t know any single car that would survive this.

It appears that the car had excellent crumple zones incorporated into its design.

what does it matter if he was in a relationship or not??

In an incident in Suratgarh, Rajasthan, a loaded container fell from a truck onto a Mahindra XUV700.

Both occupants survived with minor injuries. The car was drivable after the accident and was taken to a service center. (vid)

In another serious accident on the Bangalore-Chennai Highway, a Mahindra XUV500 was hit and completely destroyed by an overloaded truck. The driver miraculously escaped unharmed, which was attributed to the vehicle's robust construction.

In another incident in Bengaluru a massive, 10-ton, illegal billboard fell onto an XUV700. A couple inside the car survived the accident.

Also people inside a Tesla model Y & model 3 survived after a tree fell on top of it. Trees are usally not a sheavy as loaded containers but those Teslas were tested and can resist 19,000 lbs.

Volvo XC90's and Volkswagon tiguan are pretty robust also.

It's great to have such a fountain of knowledge around, from the reason of the omnipresence of motorcycles in Vietnam to the explosives used by terrorists, passing by the sturdiest cars in the world and every other interesting documented input that Kellyhound gave us in recent times

Thanks !

A Volvo would probably take it pretty good.
