Kent's worst nightmare

wow that car took two swipes at the rig (well maybe lost control but definitely nailed the truck 2X), then did a 90° bank! Didn't know a liddle car could pit-manuever an 18w-er!
 
And here I thought this was going to be "To catch a predator trucker/pilot" :D
 
The trucker should have held course and taken the goof out of the gene pool.

In any case, we can be sure the screams are about how dangerous dem big trucks are.

The article that says "The truck driver over-corrected" is wrong. The trucker had no choice on his course - This is almost exactly what happened in my accident. If a car hits the front end of a truck the that hard, the truck is going to lose control. BTDT.

What I can see in this video is that the truck driver "flies the plane all the way into the accident" (er, drives the truck). You can see he's attempting to prevent the rollover, but his steer tire catches on the barrier long enough for the trailer to bring him over. He did everything he could.

I just want to know how the hell the car managed to hit him TWICE. It looks like the car didn't hold his lane coming out of the curve, and then after hitting the truck the first time just panicked and overreacted - First pulling too hard to the right and then overcorrecting right into the front end of the truck.
 
OBTW, this isn't my worst nightmare. In my worst nightmare, the truck is full of iPads. :rofl:

They'd have a hard time doing that, since Apple's market cap is now larger than Microsoft's. :D Apple is now #2 behind ExxonMobil in market cap, having surpassed Google, Wal-Mart, and Microsoft in the last few months.
