Semi Truck Blown Over By Wind ! ! !

[DONJK66]

Please search DEFORMABLE KINGPIN that explains a simple to understand solution to forbid a tractor to follow into destruction during rollover events. The concept is the same as to why you have fuses or circuit breakers in electrical systems in your home, office or car -- a failsafe -- to prevent further destruction harm & deaths during IMMINENT Trailer Rollovers Donald J. Kaleta

[Lerdo72]

Wow! Gr8 video. Right place, Right time.

[rtfk101]

0:32 the truck just wants to go to sleep

[TheMakaveli96]

just think how scary that must be

[Tesseract0]

WE MUST REPLACE ALL DRIVERS WITH ROBOTS SO THAT DEVASTATING ACCIDENTS LIKE THIS NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

[KnoobKnight]

@Tesseract0 Devastating? oh yeah, real devastation right here. Whew. Truck tipped over, big deal. Im sure his company had insurance and I dont believe the driver would have been injured aside from a bruise or two from thunking into the door handles. Devastating this was not. lol!!

[Adrianair747]

i hate when people steel other peoples videos

[sinsemillaman]

Inception XD

[Dracoti]

lmao

[TheseNuts86]

The driver wasn't smart at all. He just passed a truck that was already down and didn't learn from his mistake...SMH.

[borrado4]

Stalag58 it was ur fat sister been hump by a fat lob...

[FUNNzilla]

ownt!

[sauske248]

I sure hope the driver was ok!

[paratuupke]

well if its a brigde where he is driving over with that windspeed.....

In Holland the bridge is closed with more than 100km wind...

[keokiracerhalsteren]

@paratuupke Not the Moerdijkbrug, only in Zeeland they close these things, like the Zeelandbrug or something; these bridges remain open for traffic.

[BrambledownKent]

Truck wos empty not loaded

[gooddude321]

Was the "Slo Motion" really needed?

[Ometopada]

He was empty, that`s why he tipped over.

[headcase01]

Reminds me of when my dog peed on the tree out front and lost her balance.

[skate1bmx01]

why the fuck dident he floor it?

[canjeremy]

I voted for the Chuck Norris comment

[AliEnosDesch]

@canjeremy Me too (and yours).

[yeahmitch]

justin bieber rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thefatassunicorn]

@yeahmitch fuck off and put your beiber shit everywhere! comment on something that has something to do with this fucking idiot

[louiusianajt1998]

@thefatassunicorn dont worry about him, he pust shit up like that to mess wit you.

[thefatassunicorn]

the driver must be fat

[thepricylon]

@thefatassunicorn  WHAT??, If he was fat, the truck wouldn`t have tippet over xD

[jaymonsterr]

lol.

[undeniableee22]

is it ironic that the song playing in the background is "all good things come to end"? xD

[qwertyismymom]

i love how the driver passes a truck that's already blown over

[Fireice1337]

I hate how people slow down a video clip which is like 20 seconds long. I truck tipped over so slowly I could clearly see it flip. No need for 'slo-mo'.

[iDJCrysix]

LOL I wonder what was going through the drivers head when it started to tip and the second on impact

[extremeheadbanging]

shoulda put his foot to the floor instead of braking

[Style1130]

in case no one noticed! there was another truck sitting on its side in the beginning of the video.

[MrMooseheadbeer]

That's pretty crazy how far the rear wheels tiped up before the front wheels when't..

[05candyman]

how u fucking windy was it jeez

[bizzle187]

@George15627 no, he was obviously in a car.

[Psyshimmer]

@George15627 He's probably in a car, which has much less wind resistance than the side of a semi truck..

[PodzniakovisElite]

I like the Nelly Furtado.

[bj99ful]

The driver must have seen the other semi blown over; why did he proceed?

[youace101]

The surface area of the truck's side give's the wind more of a push as it hit's the surface

[webtimez]

This is intense, I wonder how fast the wind was blowing

[stopglobalswarming]

That would have been some awesome drift it if had righted.

[nwbxvcmqlskdjfhg]

Driving is hard without wind! I hope nobody was hurt!!

[SinSizzerbb]

hahaha cyclone.. dude its in the netherlands on the dam/dike whatever.. always windy there.

[scallly64]

My advise is Simple!! Don't drive along side a tractor trailer in ANY CONDITIONS unless you have to....please people this is common sense...it usually is the responsibility of the City/town/ Village etc.. to close a bridge due to high Winds..or let motorists especially new drivers no about reduced speeds in certain situations..safe travels

[flash21502]

Actually he could have stopped, then turned the tractor on a 45 degree angle. It would have been less likely to tip, but thinking of something like that under the stress he must have been under.....?

[scottn999]

fake

[justinharker]

@scottn999 fo sho

[db2800]

Just a truck! Body job in fact not truck and trailer

[phb2911]

Wow... I had no idea this was possible!

[deathmetaldude468]

lmao abit late use the brakes

[Lelzer16]

wwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeee hahahahahahahaha

[clinehar]

moral of story... dont fuck with mother nature lol

[foxacoustics]

I live in Louisiana and when the winds are bad the radio stations notify people that motorcycles, glass carriers, and tractor trailers are not allowed on certain bridges.

The video didn't show it but that may have been a bridge that's several miles long and if the trucker met up with the first flipped rig a mile down the bride he has no way of backing up with traffic behind him. Stopping at that point won't help either because the wind will blow a parked truck over just as easily.

[anubisthagod]

If only he turned A lil left, wonder if they might have changed things lol

[mageac]

@anubisthagod probably on its side in the ditch then :P

[hppyadam]

WHAT A DUM ASS YOU CAN SEE A TRUCK ON ITS SIDE AT THE BEGINNIG WHY TRY TO GO..

[dinamikanada4x4]

@hppyadam hey dumbo,when you see car in an accident do you abandon your car and go on foot,or you continue hopeing nothing happens to you...

[hppyadam]

@dinamikanada4x4 Hay dick head you see a truck on its side on a brige you stop till the wind dies down.nuff said.

[keokiracerhalsteren]

@hppyadam Its kinda impossible to drive the truck backwards on a highway with a 10 km traffic jam behind you...

[MyHappyshit]

@keokiracerhalsteren dont go in the first place.

[keokiracerhalsteren]

@MyHappyshit why not?

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

lol he hit the brakes like the brakes work for left to right, he should hit the brakes and pulled the parking brake before he got on the bridge lol. When he hit the brakes was off too, his best bet then would be to hammer down and crank it left to use the tractor as a kick stand to keep that reefer on the ground.

[plumb4six]

being an experianced driver of a comercial vehicle and not student driver or recent graduate from a driving school , Number one rule, KNOW THE CONDITIONS AND WHAT CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN TO YOUR VEHICLE!!!

This driver and the other one showed have already known the weather conditions either by radio, c.b. , etc. we know he/she was empty , also notice the speed they are traveling, im guessing under 25mph there is no way that vehicle  would tip over at that speed unless the gust was over 70 mph.

[plumb4six]

Cont. At that point, even standing still it would still tip over. Next part, whoever commented on turning into the wind is wrong with this situation, parking and facing the wind will keep you upright. This situation you turn the direction that your falling over to get the wheels back under the vehicle. In reality, you would not drive in these conditions. No load is that important, and you will get fired for tipping over your truck but not for being safe and not moving.

[pauljacksonmusic]

Going going going... gone!

[embryocrunch]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­U!

[thamistah63]

Of course it wasn't loaded >_> c'mon a fully loaded semi comes around in 32 thousand pounds in merchandise...

[yoshihawv]

If you find this happening to you, turn it into the wind if you can, and you will have a small chance of saving it. Better--do a better job of checking the weather before you drive out..

[09Alpacino09]

WTF.. why was it so windy?

[legojake1]

hey i remeber this song its on a video of mid town madness

[potatoewarrior]

ur slow-mo sucks :(

[Jesant13]

@PictoDD Okay?

[rayjohsonfan1]

i like how the person video taping this dosent even say anything like oh its falling over thats cool

[debull1]

my dad is a truck driver, he hates wind. he hates driving in Kansas most he says

[Raymel2366]

This looks like that truck driver with his truck was in the 'real' windy city. I hope he is okay and in good spirits currently. But this video is an example of dealing with extreme weather conditions like that, and for me, it is a wake up call, because I am currently a truck driving student and it is no question of a doubt a pitiful situation you don't want to be in whatsoever, and you don't want to say this in the old saying: 'Uh-oh! Better Get Maaco!'

[laynecaffy]

passes flipped semi* o gee i hope that doesnt appen to the guy in front of-*semi in frontflips*......owell

[gtiffany79]

For some reason I am always amazed at how many stupid youtube viewers there are...he probly was empty or very light, his steers didn,t want to leave the ground, anyone with an ounce of common sense can tell you thats where what little weight there was, was.

[Tjrosenberry]

CNN reported that truck as unloaded......then again is CNN but if it was FX the truck would have been loaded with babies and hearts on the way to the hospital for patients who need them.

[hataCONTROL187]

@Tjrosenberry hahaha

[AlexKryocek]

This is why you always want to make sure your cargo is very bottom heavy. Even if it was though... it still could have toppled.

[AlexKryocek]

This is why you always want to make sure your cargo is very bottom heavy. Even if it was though... it still could have toppled.

[timfoxxy]

The music strangely fits in with this video...lol

[bleepbleep1234]

0.3 seconds fuck this Im turning back!!!!!

[muddybanksangler]

he should of turned with the wind i know this i play video games

[mustange550]

OH Shit!  We are tippin put the breaks on quick..

[gottog88]

He never should have been out there or placed in that position. If the wind is that bad, PARK. I hope he was ok

[Gofannon1985]

The truck was drunk!1

[JAD0577]

WHERE THE F> WAS THIS?!?!?!?!?!?

[RayVal53]

How awesome would it have been if after flipping over, a bunch of mummies would have fallen out of the back of that truck?

[diamaus]

why do all good things come to an end? :))

[440x]

there a place in newfounland famous for this kind of stuff the area is known as "wreck house".trains,big trucks, vans have all blown over in this area. the locals have even been know to ancor there house to the ground

[HonestEdw]

Doubles,empty trailers,in high wind,are easily blown over.I've been blown into the other lane several times.Its safer to follow trucks than to pass.Were in a hurry too,But Ive heard of trailers being blown over in a parking lot.

[Those2menoverthere]

Truck tipping. (reference to the movie CARS when Lighting McQueen goes cow tipping with 'Mator or how ever you spell his name)

[Lojikbom]

Correct me if I'm wrong, best way out of this is to speed up? The trucker brakes instead.

[mpwelk]

I highly doubt it was loaded at all.

[elijah5674]

Almost had this happen twice...once in southern Alberta coming home in 1997 (tore the tarp right off the trailer...walking floor, and loaded), and once in central Saskatchewan in winter (empty heading for a load on slippery roads...almost got put into the opposite ditch and hit a dry spot and powered through at the last second) talk about pucker factor

[Gl1tChXbLiTz]

do people just drive around with a video camera taping everything? no offence to this video its amazing 5/5, but seriously.

[chapotiyo]

thats for entertaining

[Gl1tChXbLiTz]

haha, i guess so.

[hasickubin]

this hapenned in Slovakina couple years ago...it was on the bridge through river Danube in Bratislava, Slovakia

[navonechile]

This is frecuent in Patagonia. Daily winds of about 120 km/hr. Great vid

[decxtar2]

you stupid dicks if its not wind then what the fuck is it cuz it aint no reason 4 it to just tip over like that u retards plus u could hear the wind 5/5 for me

[oscarfish38]

I have it on good authority that the wind will bring you to an almost halt before tipping you. Weight is a factor only on how the truck is loaded. Many a 44t grossed truck have gone over. if the load is top heavy or unevenly distributed the chances of a flip are increased. The safest wagons are bulkers & tankers in heavy wind.

[WeMustBeStopped]

True.

[stevekatkus]

I have seen this happen in front of me a few times already up here in Alaska

[WeMustBeStopped]

I doubt it was "fully loaded"...and if it was, it was probably pillows or skids of napkins.

[broncrider49]

@WeMustBeStopped it doesnt matter what its loaded with whether its bricks or pillows. i seen a 7 or 8 trucks blown over in the santa anna winds in cali. and two of them were haulin doubles.

[WeMustBeStopped]

I have a cdl and have taken some pretty scary trips with light packs before and, yes, it most certainly does matter what your weight is when dealing with wind shear. I'm not saying there isn't a strong wind that can blow over a heavily loaded truck, I'm only saying this chap here was probably hauling empty.

[Royalhighlander]

Yup down by the jct of I-10 and I-15 is nasty sometimes

[libamax]

Chuck Norris farted

[FreeDownloads1]

omg 5/5 stars so cool

[shastafishfreak]

the tanker was not ground properly cause of fire satic

[angrygreek1985]

I doubt the truck was fully loaded...and if it was maybe it was full of pillows. But either way, that still sucks.

Tippling a truck back on to its wheels safely and properly is a shitty thing for tow truck drivers to do....nevermind in a freakin cyclone. Truck was probably left like that for hours or more.

[jagkeum1212]

lol that was funny was like if i animal feld over to his side lol

[TannenBomber]

hhhhhhhhhhh-----HAHHAHAHAHAHAH­AHA

[wwkkss13]

its not funny

[catchcassenova]

nice one man but i would like to know which vehicle is having camera... what happened to that vehicle?

[Wired4Fun]

I HIGHLEY doubt that truck was "fully loaded"

[DrummerMan1966]

That is Trucked UP!!

[FLICKERhah]

wow what a crazy driver!

[tittostang]

damn that suck balls, BIG TImE!

[cdh77511]

That must have been wind 50 mph or higher. They weren't going very fast at all.

[Gyufikaaa]

Fékezés helyett oda kellett volna lépnie a gáznak,és akkor nem borult volna fel,mert a pótkocsit egyenesbe húzza..

[GeneralG1810]

That actually lookes like the second victim look at the start of the vid, I rekon the other truck was probably tipped the same way

[GashR87]

a truck should never haul something more than it weighs

[natureperson420]

it was wind

[supersnot4]

wow man, probably the most idiotic comment i have ever read on youtube.

[insonita55]

even with the little correction he did by turning the wheels ...he probably could have save it...by turning fast left and face the wind with its back.

[oldstumpcutter]

I collect oxy-morons. I'm stealing "face the wind with its back" from you. Thanks.

[Jesant13]

I hate it when people argue in the comments section, Google needs to develop a system for YouTube where you can report immature comments and users can risk getting banned from the site.

On-topic though, there was really nothing the driver could have done. The wind was too strong and it got hold of the trailer and flipped it over, flipping the truck itself over as well. I hope the driver was uninjured.

[chwparker]

@Jesant13 While they're at it, they could also eliminate the ones of people who whine like little babies over something that doesn't really affect anything.

[paulderbyshire1919]

For all saying thts not a semi can you explain to me the tail lights on the tractor @ 0:59 ???

[paranormalcrazy]

cool

[subwoofspeak]

if only the truck could jettison the container

[alekscooool]

slow mo

[demarcor38]

yikes!!

[Frosmoke]

stupid mexicans

[Homiezproductionz]

pinche gringos

fuk u!!!

[stack100million]

fuck you frosmoke u a pussy ass mf it wouldnt be the drivers fault no matter what race he was bitch

[elsanchokaki]

what does this have to do with mexicans?

[elsanchokaki]

wow,you are an idiot

[lilhopper0074]

That would be scary..

[imsophialea]

ummm...not a tractor trailer, but still.....what a horrible day on the job! (and loaded LIGHTLY in my opinion)

[johncastro27]

or loaded too heavy on one side

[ulug89]

no nothin in the truck if there was enything heavy truck should not turn over )

[johncastro27]

yeah youre right i should know better i work in a warehouse

[Jm42086]

why isnt that a tractor trailer... looks like one to me.

[mophoplz]

He should have turned to the right. :x

[lilhopper0074]

yeah, and hit his brakes sooner...

[BaconGod94]

wtf are you guys talking about....thats not wind...duh...ITS CHUCK NORRIS :O!

XD

[lilpopi48]

lol

[smurfyhandy]

HA!! and that was the second truck ... apparently ....

like god is playing legos

[bjorngroen]

By the way, this is a tractor trailer or a truck and hanger if you look at the orange/ yellow plates on the doors. Trailers have a yellow sign with orange borders, when it was just a truck or on the tractor only its a yellow sign with diagonal orange stripes. These are manditory in europe so other drivers from behind can see if its just a truck or a semi that they are passing.

[bjorngroen]

I've seen this. This is on the Moerdijk bridge in the south of holland. There were storm warnings out. for not passing the bridges due to heavy storms. only fully loaded trucks were allowed. this one was empty. Dozens of trucks still tried to get where they wanted to be, that day dozens of trucks were blown over throughout Holland. I was driving that day too with a tanker on which the wind couldnt manipulate.

[pivotkid85]

it wasnt by the wind, the driver did a sharp turn to the right which caused the truck to tip sideways and eventually fall. if it was the wind your car would have probably just gone flying off the bridge!

[macmurati]

ya if think ur rite but maybe this dudes car has much more downforce, either way ur still rite lol

[123456789and10and]

oh im sorry i didnt see the turn, maybe thats because they werent turning u idiot if they were u couldve seen the side of the trailer. its called common sense and u dont have any

[interstate5trucker]

Ummm, that is not a semi-truck, it is a straight truck or a bob-tail. A semi-truck has a fifth wheel and pulls a trailer. Also, how do you know it was fully loaded? Fully loaded with what? Potato chips or lead bricks?

[CoochieMan215]

It is a semi truck.  didn't you see the tail lights on the tractor?

[stevebabbar]

was tht a hurricane

???

[TwinTippah]

omygod

this in a hurricane?

[intheshitter]

man thats insane

[gixxer4646]

@ 0:05 u can see another truck rolled over and @ 0.15 the emergency car.

Why they didn't close the high way!?

[bluebutdude1]

steer left to make it stop tipping also call 911

[TheKuween1]

So thats what that looks like. Cool
