1. Pretty amazing video
Just listening to the crunching, crashing noises made me sick to my stomach. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt.

2. That video was going around like wildfire today
at least here in Oregon. That first moran is completely insane or was having a coronary while driving.

I know that hill, it's a real bitch. The angle of the camera doesn't do it justice in this video. I really thought the sound was incredible though. You know how quiet it gets when it snows, and loud things like shouts or crashes seem to amplify in sound. Of course if you are in any one of those vehicles you get that nice overwhelming CRUNCH too, but the video really captures it. I wonder how many cases of whiplash are inflicted in that short video?

4. that's much more than they showed on the news!
We got smart and told the boss, no work today. He thought we were being wimps until he slid down a curvy hill trying to get to the client's house. We tried to tell him. :shrug:
