    When I worked for Tango in 2010, I saw a you buck who worked at the paper mill 30 miles south of where I live, slammed into the back of a stopped log truck right outside the plant and was impaled through the head right as I made the turn to the truck scales away from the employee lot. Not something I cared to witness because you don't forget it. #### like that is exactly why I don't watch the Final Destination movies anymore.

    Does anybody remember the welding gas straight truck that turned over or something in the DFW area, 7 years or so ago? Launched a large gas bottle through the air, which went through the windshield of a car, killing the driver.

    Several years back, believe it was in the mid 80's, a log truck had left out before daylight going down a two lane US highway here in Arkansas to a paper-mill. He had his red flag on the end of the logs with the taillights up under the logs & could hardly be seen when it was dark. A car come up behind him driving much faster than the truck. The logs when though the windshield of the car & I do not have to tell what happned to the driver. It was a very ugly sight.

    They estimated the truck was going 55 to 60 MPH & the car, either a Carmo or a Firebird was way over 100 MPH when it over took the truck from behind.
