I've looked around and haven't seen much of anything else, aside from what you described. I've got 2 other videos of the Expedition as well, one of them shows primarily the inside and the stretching of the seat belts.
You know this the only actual video of a crashed 03-06 body style expedition? All the others are dumb ass people either driving off in a ditch. But somehow it still got 5 stars with no proof xD
We were towing a boat, so when we were hit from the front, the boat came up off the trailer and went through the back. Then it jack-knifed and the boat went flying across the road and came to rest in the opposite lane. Thankfully it didn't hit any other vehicles in the process.
we were going 50mph and im guessing the jeep between 30 - 40 mph. it had just got into our lane from behind very slow moving traffic. the speed limit was 60mph and was a mountain two way highway.
good question oxymoron2727. looks like a tranny to me. i didnt get to look to closely. my wife took the video and i wasnt able to get around good enough to look. wish i did. i wanted to see underneath. its long gone now.
we're all doing fine from the expedition. my girls walked away almost unharmed but a little nervous in the vehicle at times these days. wife, leachz, has healed from her injuries. brother in law is able to use his arm and hand now but still has some pain. myself, my femur has healed for the most part. been walking but still got some building up to do. not allowed to run or jump. i know one had broke both legs in the jeep, one had minor scrapes and one i dont know. prayers to the 3 that died.
The boat was 20'. We didn't get any video of it because it was in a different area of the wrecking yard, so we didn't get to see it. It was totaled as well, though.
I don't know if there was blood on it. It is hard to tell in the video, and I didn't really try to look all that hard. We definitely plan on getting another Expedition, though!
next time we post something, we should have some more details on what we are looking. for example, the buckling of the lower frame when we close up on it. also i wouldve like to take video of underneith the expedition to see where the drive train ended up. i guess i couldve helped suggest things while filming but i think i was just dealing with more pain than anything at the time.

We actually got another one a couple weeks ago. I feel much safer in it now than we did in the van we were driving.

if you were hit in the front, then why is the back banged up too?

I'm glad you and your family survived. That is how important seat belts are.
