March 1st I-80 pileup video in progress

Just as it's a miracle Crete Schaffer that went by obliterated his, and the truck that's wtf smashed at the beginning of the whole mess is Knight ( Volvo).

 

It's a business.

1) I'm sure the state gets some of the revenue the towing companies make.

2) Wyoming is a poor state. Residents and the State need to make money somehow.

3) Lawsuits will happen and lawyers will make money.

 

who is left intact, and who smashed other vehicles to pieces at those unsafe speeds is possibly both a bit of luck and skill. Neither lessens the fact that in those conditions you don't drive that fast. It is a fatality in the waiting. Sadly at least 3 dead, it's possible there could end up more.

 

Which begs the question, "would you rather be lucky or good?"
Not hatin' on LS at all, but that dude was going waaaaaayyyy faster than common sense would tell you to go in those conditions and in that situation.
Jus sayin

 

Good.

 

Dude was lucky.

 

I'd like to see DOT report on how many of the 140 were on their phones at the time of impact.

 

139 of them

 

So says someone that never drives in the snow.

 

Ok, look, I do drive in snow and I did last week when that big storm came through the midwest.
That said, I do avoid the snow like truckstop hookers; so its kinda fair.

HOWEVER, from the video its pretty clear that they were driving on ICE....
Should have never been there. Let alone that fast.
If you look at the beginning of the one dude's video, he was doing 38 mph............38 mph says, (to me anyway), "you need to park".
Simple as that.
And LS and the other dude are coming around, admittedly, while the dude is stopped.

But, dang Dave, what does it take to tell you to stop?
That's all I was saying
