Re: Incoming Tanker Truck of Death
He gave them plenty of warning, they all turned, "fainting goat" and just stood there. He drove the truck right off a CLIFF trying to avoid them, so id say he did more than most would have!

Re: Incoming Tanker Truck of Death
I can understand the faulty brakes but what about the horn? They could have heard him mile away if the idiot used his horn. |

Re: Incoming Tanker Truck of Death
I heard his horn as soon as the truck came into view. He laid on the horn.

She was running straight like she was going to outrun it. A hard left would have saved her.

Re: Incoming Tanker Truck of Death
If it worked. Someone did sound a city horn nearby but it was not enough. Yes, a truck air horn sounding at the first appearance of trouble, might have changed the outcome. It takes precious time to recognize the problem, troubleshoot, think what to do, react, respond.

Re: Incoming Tanker Truck of Death
Single horn literally 10 seconds before he start mowing down people. People walking in the front didint even look back to such casual honking. He could have saved lots of people if he didint stop honking. |
