First time I watched, I kinda jumped in my seat a little, then I watched it again and started laughing.

Seriously, as long as everyone's alright, Im going to laugh at it.

Yeah. No fucking kidding. That scared the hell out of me rather than making me laugh. Shes lucky. That could of speared her real fucking bad. Whatever vehicle that 2x4 fell off of is going to get sued out the ass.

Crazy part is from what I can tell that 2x4 was just laying on the side of the road and the trailer ahead of her kicked it up when it ran it over.

It kind of looked like to me it came off of the flatbed truck. If it did, the owner of that flatbed company can kiss his company goodbye. Either way, still some scary shit. I always get a little freaked out when a stone chips a windsheild when I'm in a car.

This applies to tons of videos on the internet.

plus it looks like the trailer in front of her ran over the wood causing it to fly up.

that person was tailgating so close that they couldn't even see the road ahead of the car in front of them. when you're following a trailer you stay back.

Once a friend and I were on like a 5 lane highway with pretty heavy traffic, I was in the passenger seat. So we're just cruising along, when suddenly I see this white rectangular thing pop out of the back of a truck to our right and a little ahead of us and it starting flying right towards our car and ended up landing on the hood. My heart stopped for a second while it was in the air, turned out it was just a strip of like card stock type stuff, but in the air it looked like a piece of hard plastic or something. Scared the shit out of me for about 2 seconds.

That video is ridiculous. I would have freaked out pretty hard.

Play it from :32 and you can clearly see it sitting on the side of the road. The back left tire of the truck in front of the car ran it over and kicked it up into the windshield.


That would scare the absolute shit out of me, but I laughed just because of how crazy and unexpected it was.

And this is a great reason as to why you give some fucking space while driving.

I dont think that was real, why the fuck would someone just be filming with their phone randomly and be perfectly aimed to see that? Also, there weren't any glass shards inside...

Come on now, that sounds like some 9/11 conspiracy shit - ala "where's the plane wreckage maaaan?"

There were plenty of tiny glass shards. Looked pretty fucking real to me.

Seriously? There are thousands of photos of said wreckage...



And is screaming a requisite for something like this? Does everybody scream when something out of the blue happens?

the wierd thing about this is that the 2x4 wouldnt even be moving laterally, it got popped straight into the air, and while it was suspended this guy's car drove into it and the speed of his car is what makes the impact so violent. totally irrelevent to how scary that is, but kinda neat to think about.

what scream? you dont have to scream when you are scared like so suddenly, i know i dont scream i just become shocked as fuck for a second. that sound was most likely her tires skidding because she probably just slammed her breaks on instinct

But there is no reaction at all. She doesnt say anythin or the the camera doesnt get dropped or anything. Seems a bit fake to me

she breaths nervously at the very end, right after she lowers that camera. you cant see her face so i guess thats all we have for a reaction.

but youtube is meant for real videos, the trolls have ruined it. even i was skeptical and it seems like now youtube is just filled with people who are just trollin
