    He could have stood off to the side and flapped his arms like he flaps his gums. I don’t know how someone can watch an incident take place and say nothing. Be a GD man and go over and say something.

    The guy filming would have been able to do nothing to save a car
    That driver was either high or didn’t care
    He clearly knew exactly what was happening
    There’s no way he left thinking he just did a great job getting out of there and the boys on TTR would be impressed with his skills!!

    Did I miss where this happened at..???
    Because the back ground and the streets remind me alittle bit of the older part of down town Omaha..
    But the guy running his pie hole is not a from the Midwest

    That’s Portland Maine not Portland Oregon. I’m also pretty sure the ford was in a no parking zone. Doesn’t justify it, but it is kinda poetic.

    Looks like the company is out of Maine and the truck doesn’t look like it should venture too far away from home?

    But I heard stretched trucks were better.

    that dude knows what’s going on but doesn’t give a flying f.

    i thought it might have been a new guy panicking but after seeing all of it, doesn’t seem that way

    Considering that the clip starts after the "driver" has already hit at least 1 car and a building, I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt that he tried to intervene first.

    At a certain point, all you can do is make some popcorn.

    Not to mention there's probably damage to the building by the looks of the trailer.

    The driver's just straight up an ###hole. You hit something you stop. Don't keep going. They knew full well what they were doing.
