    @ 3:56, anyone notice "Subhanallah" in the closed caption? All I needed to hear, but we can't blame this on non-English speaking drivers, all this shows, is our society is too busy, and can't handle situations like this. The dust storm pileup and these show, the drivers today aren't drivers at all, like the driver making the video, I feel is going too fast for a covered road, especially while filming another disaster. There's no way they can stop, and just have no experience on what to do when these situations come up, except, "Subhanallah",,,yeah, where's your messiah now, eh? All I see here is an insurance nightmare, and no wonder there are big holes in the supermarket shelves, their products are in a pileup in,,,where now? Doesn't matter, we all pay for this, and goes seemingly unnoticed, but make no mistake, these crashes are taking us down from the inside, and until some device is made to shut the truck down when conditions are like this, this will continue, and it shows, it's not just snow, dust storms happen all year. We obviously can't count on these bozos to make the right decision.

    Same story every year, drivers driving too fast for conditions trying to make up for lost time. You're not going to beat mother nature. The Cowboy Cafe in Lyman, WY always a great stop with good food to check the weather before going over the Sisters.

    See, that's the thing, these drivers, if you can call them that, are in their own worlds. With no communication, pretty tough to know what's going on up ahead, so this is always a total surprise. Years ago, with the CB radio, we knew all about this stuff, and yes, picked a spot to hang out. All hail the CB radio :cheers:,,,
     
    mjd4277, DannyB, Tall Mike and 7 others Thank this.

    Well, I'll tell ya', people like us would certainly freak out, but we have the luxury of having people that are trained to do this sort of thing, and have halos above their heads! :thumbup:
