Truck Accident That Killed Rafters in Canyon Sparks Truck-Canyon-Rafter Reform Debate

[cyanmanta]

What frivolous arguments. The obvious course of action is to simply ban the use of all handheld electronic devices while canyon river rafting.

[HanzSygnal]

2:12 is so fn funny

[TheOriginalPoopBalls]

they spelled nitrogen wrong... its not nytrogen

[Jcolinsol]

@TheOriginalPoopBalls

Bill Nyetrogen. Science guytrogen.

[ScientificExploits]

"They Just Let The Trucks RAAAAAIN Down!"

[The1211deep]

fat lady' voice is kinda annoying

[scottg4520]

3 hours? gosh, do i have to watch the whole thing?

[cd949604]

lol

[Wasabifold]

This sucks.

Why haven't they released that three hour in-depth special yet? I would pay to see that.

[JackMProductions]

TRUCK COMING!!!!!

[mikedamat]

This satire is no more different than shark week.

[greg5566]

I LOVE THE BLACK LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[biglooneytic]

George bush doesn't care about truck drivers!

[HaiDoggie]

@biglooneytic

Well, George Bush isn't exactly president anymore, is he now.

[KenFan4life]

@HaiDoggie that's what bush wants you to think.... obama is george bush's other mask.... legend has it, a george bush can the form of any semi african man it wants.

[degnaw]

Are you concerned about trucking, rafting, debris, rivers, being near roads, or being in canyons?

[MrTearsintherain]

If this had actually happened, the rafters next of kin would have received a bill demanding payment for the gasoline they got.....gas aint fer free y'all ;-)

[911Playmaker]

Is this a joke? Haha

[tomitstube]

why don't put up signs, "falling trucks"?

[ajnode]

lol sosososososososo good

[mynameisfez1]

TRUCK COMING!!

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Another brilliant In The Know! Fastically demontrates the media reactions to something purely accidental and couldn't be stopped anyway. Plus Nancy is an absolute badass!

[nate252]

one of the clips at the end of the falling truck was from groudhog day :)

[BardOfShwa]

I love how Duncan always begins to say something that sounds like the voice of reason, and then instead turns out to just contribute to all of the foolishness.

[Delicoms]

This onion made my life worth living

[Chancechan]

He should have screamed 'Truck coming!' XD

[kamikrazeeful2]

Oh gosh, I miss the Onion like this...

[lunatic656]

TRUCK COMING!!!

[punaniswabber]

no one is gonna watch the hall of game awards

[thehymner]

the government should be held responsible for not providing some anti-aging time machine and we should sue the hell out of them if our grandparents die of old age.

[ebturner66]

I'd say hang the man if he hadn't already died from German measles. Classic.

[u0455294]

174 people drive tractor trailers with one tank of nitrogen and one tank of glycerin.

[zerk666]

so be careful everyone...

[Spardeth]

Is it just me or does Juliana McKannis look like anorexic version of Lisa Marie Presley...

[WheatThin55]

haha I love the still to come at the end

[jensbolle]

rocket cars lol

[bandguy360]

this is family guy type humor

[norsef]

Clifford Banes y u no honour your commitments?

[TMaStAA]

TRUCK COMING!

[Riketz]

This is an amazing parody of the BP oil spill. Well done, ONN.

It's great to see someone realize it was an accident with a single contracter fucking everything up.

[lisamaria1972]

hahaha! He should have yelled "TRUCK COMING!!!"

[Greatkingrat88]

"Palin's new book to focus on hardships of being useless"

...I lol'd.

[normanthepig]

You have been waylaid by bandits.

[epayne6]

I know that if I just keep watching, one day Clifford Banes will show up. I JUST KNOW IT! :)

[TheLeviathanZero]

@epayne6 Clifford Banes showing up.. It will probably be a recording of him saying a few words before he gets caught up in some random situation like getting hunt down by a bunch of little girls who wants to sell him cookies

[epayne6]

@TheLeviathanZero Don't say that! Clifford Banes will come! No Girl Scouts can stop him! An army of Girl Scouts can't stop him! HE WILL COME!! I JUST KNOW IT!!!!

[Ibledue]

@epayne6 He showed up in one (I forgot) but he said he was wearing a latex mask of Juliana McKannis :P.

[SalientK]

@Ibledue I think it was the one about bringing kids to R rated movies where people masturbate.

[BenAndJoshInc]

TRUCK COMING!

[thedrummerization]

these guys are like todays republicans they just make up shit, or they blow it out of proportion, lmao

[ataraxic89]

@thedrummerization you know this is fake.. It satire, they are making fun of all news organisations overloading us with a bunch of bullshit to get ratings

[thedrummerization]

@ataraxic89 duh i no this is fake, i love it

[Raphinater]

@thedrummerization all political parties are pathetic lets not act like the right is any better than the left or vice versa.

[doughnutboy99]

pause at 0:39 LOL its old Dora!

[citizenlizard]

I love the 3 hr report segment at the end...lllllllllllllllllloooooo­oooooooooooooollllllllllll

[AquaMarYne92]

wow the last line~ i can't stop laughing

[ClefableKing]

I'd watch the special for 3 hours.

[bcpsleeperkid4]

this is exactly like so many people who feel that every tragedy is caused by some safety issue that must be changed. there's a degree of risk in anything we do. sometimes people are just really unlucky and we should just say "that fucking sucks" and move on. we don't need reform for every freak accident. it's not feasible and it's not worth the trouble.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

even though this is fake. we still need stronger guard rails to stop an 40 ton truck from going over. the truckers carry our stuff to stores why not protect them

[LolsitzGeorge]

@countrymusicgtavboy2 I STRONGLY AGREE WE NEED IRON MAN TO SAFELY GUARD OUR TRUCKERS. for god sake its a fking accident what do you know of that can stop a 40 ton truck going 60 mphs? should we follow chinas example and build the great wall around every highway and bridge and such?

[jxsilicon9]

@countrymusicgtavboy2

You would probably have to have some huge rails sealed in place with cement.Because it could just flip over the rail.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

ahahahahah this is is too funny they thing they know things about trucks and accidents. yup ill stick my head out the window of a falling truck and yell TRUCK COMEING!!! what am i supposed to do as i fall open a damn parachute? and what happen the the driver?

[MrChristo93]

Wayliaded by bandits. My favorite so far.

[DontYaKnowProd]

i would watch that 3 hour special

[darthspeaks]

I love The Onion.

[sherbanan]

Truck falling in canyons early warning detection system LOL

[gifted4]

the freaking preview is hilarious

[Dacadvid]

Can't wait for that new Palin book to come out. Should be as interesting as the last one.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@Dacadvid good we need something to start my bonfires.

[Sabohaque]

Oil spill?

[july7nyc]

Clifford Banes is never there because of some random crazy reason! Lol!

[hydrosav2007]

V The two homos talking about each other below with all the hehe, come out of the closet already, stop flirting with other men on the internet... Tisk tisk!

[7255202]

wow that chick near the end looked like she got laid this morning and drunk all night.

[Roflshamans]

173 people had flaming oil trucks rain on them while rafting in the Grand Canyon.

[Apocol0id]

You know, I still know it's fake, 100% fake, but still, I can't help but feel like punching them in the face.

[strilight]

ONN has truth in it?

[Lydiaalice8]

White water rafting is a very serious pastime ! Truck drivers are not ware of this !!!

[Lydiaalice8]

The danger of white water rafting is very real ! Truck drivers just are completely oblivious of this !!!

[SureTruth]

I need one of those helmets that give a warning if a bullet is approaching.

[callishka]

The old lady is the funniest, every time. Moral outrageeeeee

[yrtsg]

yea but really? a falling gasoline truck alarm? this is a joke right

[Quint37]

@yrtsg No, it's completely real

[yrtsg]

@Quint37 i understand the story is real but wtf are they retarted? what are the chances of another gasoline truck to fall. i understand they need to have a fence or something but a "falling gasoline tuck alarm" that's stupid

[Quint37]

@yrtsg No, this is all a joke. It's the Onion. I was just fucking with you.

[mjohanss1975]

@yrtsg no actually they will have every canyon fitted with falling truck alarms that will go off every time an object exceeding 5 tons in weight starts falling down a canyon. They will have that installed at about the same time as the "bullet-alarm" they will have fitted to everybody's head by 2011. Everybody in 2011 will be required to wear a helmet that lets out an alarm a fraction of a second before you're struck if somebody fires a gun directly at your head.

[yrtsg]

@mjohanss1975 you have a very creative mind. now stfu

[mjohanss1975]

@yrtsg think u get to tell me to stfu? make me hehe

[yrtsg]

@mjohanss1975 it's a free country so yea stfu. and i can't make you but i can keep telling you so stfu hehe

[mjohanss1975]

@yrtsg free country? u realize we are not in any country now...we're on the internet hehe

[yrtsg]

@mjohanss1975 i am pretty sure that if you're living in a country where you can use the internet it's a free one hehe

[mjohanss1975]

@yrtsg hehe nope cuz i'm living in Thailand right now and they got internet but they do not have freedom of speech. Say something bad about the King here and u're in the slammer for the next 15 to 20 at the notorious Bangkok Hilton where u share a cell with 60 other guys with just one bucket to piss in hehe

[yrtsg]

@mjohanss1975 well i see you using your freedom of speech right now and you have pretty good english

[DeAnZcUtEe]

id say HANG the man!! ....if he hadnt already die from german measles.... LMAO!!!

[MrTyWebb1]

"I'm Juliana Mckannis, filling in for Clifford Banes who was way layed by bandits." They wrote something else in the subtitles

[rhfyr91]

The government let those rafters get killed by those truck pieces!

[Xalimata]

that Clifford Banes is one cool guy

[STEProductions]

The government let those rafters get killed by those TRUCK PIECES!!!!! ahaha I love the black lady.

[theartofnotbeingseen]

@STEProductions if you really want to see her in action, search "violence in our dreams." she says something that will make you want to vote Nancy for president.

[Byrnzi360]

The quality of this onion news program always deteriorates whenever Clifford Banes isn't hosting it...

[tinamoul]

Clifford Banes has one hell of a life.

[redstone117]

@tinamoul Clifford Banes is... the most interesting man in the world

[salvo711]

How in God's name do they keep straight faces in these videos? Jesus Christ, this is gut-bustingly funny.

"That road was just an exploding truck falling rafting accident waiting to happen!"

[GrantC25]

"he should of screamed truck coming"

"THAT'S RIGHT"

Hahaha

[pwnttothemax]

i don't often agree with the liberal media, but the onion has it dead on with this issue. "truck coming!" should be the new "stop, drop, and roll."

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@pwnttothemax cuse when im on fire i wanna roll on the ground and light everything else up. FUCK THAT I WANNA YELL AND LOOK FOR A DAMN WATER SOURCE!!!!

[hatecrew77]

good news everybody, there's now a truck falling into the canyons, early warning system set up on that very road now:D (in some spots)

[AVLAZZO]

Truck coming!

[icepickmeetstemple]

"...hauling one tank of nitrogen and one tank of glycerine". Too funny

[MOPEDBRAD]

Faek!

[rachelallencamus]

they just let them trucks RAIN DOWN!!

[naphtha132x]

Sarah palins book XD !!

[benzieproductions]

if he hadnt already died from german measles

[metalcharger17]

"herp durpa durp durpa derrrrrrrrr" is what the fat lady sounds like

[chickennugget882]

Hahaha. "Sarah Palin's latest book to focus on the hardships of being useless."

Too much.

[horisbeccham]

"truck comin'!"

[TotalGraffiti]

@horisbeccham lol

[Fitzcard]

The fat lady is funny, but the black lady is the funniest one of the group always.

[cometkite]

Very clever satire. This is one of the Onion's best clips.

[PringlesLover123]

They're amazing actors,all of them. Still hoping some random billionaire will pay for the Onion to get their own actual TV station?

[GarlicPudding]

"Hangf the man!"

He was governor in 1916.....

I LOVE THE ONION!

[ALPHADESIGNTAMPICO]

DAMN! All that editing work just for fun on youtube?! It's just awesome!!!

[TechSupportx86]

F5, Skip the ads

[CotaLax3o3]

i say "HANG THE MAN" !!! ROFL

[thepeacecat]

ending is hilarious!

[wolvebuck]

"They just let the trucks rain down!"

Pure comic genius.

[piip4]

I hate when this happens. I lost my arm last time a truch fell on my raft. I thought it could never happen to me twice...

[bubbybubbubble]

im one of the 2%

XD

[satanasfiend2008]

/facepalm

That shit sounds so stupid

And yes, trucks will dominate the world and enslave humans :(

[cjgparas3]

HANG THE  MAN !!!!!!!!!

[VelaToNorma7]

one day, falling trucks will enslave humans

[justtrytostopus90]

"TRUCK COMING!" XD

[olivemike81]

This is so true, even though it's fake. One freak accident and we get people wanting to spend billions to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Akatu98]

FAKE. Haha, just kidding. I love people who think that the Onion is for serious. Which it is. Or is it?

[Emil246]

Kill all humans!

[amsmith1221]

As I walked into last week's staff meeting in New York, I observed a truck 22 stories down dirving up Fulton St and I called out, "truck coming" and there was no reaction from the room participants. What action should i take to ensure people take the appropriate action to avoid what happended to the canyon rafters???

[DeathBalance6]

Its a testament to American and Global ignorance to the media. People who believe this is true are use to being spoon fed lies. They don't ask questions and when something like this comes up with professional actors on youtube. They automatically assume its real.

Quite sad, western civilization is falling.

[CultureCunt]

satire's a falling truck, reality's a dumb tourist

[microKORG17]

how can 171 peolpe not like this lol?

[Simon5005]

This stuff is hysterical! Who are these people and where did they come from??? And I can see from the comments here, there are a lot of incredibly stupid people trolling through YT. If you can't tell the difference between reality and satire, then you're a major threat to society!

[XxEAZYxExX]

Southwestern Ecapes LOL

[BVfootball51]

i love satire

[MrNumberFour]

TRUCK COMMIN !

[Erilis666]

no way man, no way this has got to be fake man... naw, hey! HEY! THIS IS FAKE GUYS! it's gotta be fake... this has got to be fake, aw, no way.

[lordgluzman]

@Erilis666

NO SHIT SHERLOCK.....

[Inediblehulk]

This is an outrage! "Yes, We Can" not "Yes, We Canyon"! Our founding fathers were hard working rafters and someone's gotta pay!

So glad to live outside the U.S. but close enough to watch what they're stuck with.

[danielknower117]

@Inediblehulk you're a retard if you think this is actually real

[bill12341234]

@danielknower117 I'm pretty sure the inediblehulk is joking as well...

[Inediblehulk]

@danielknower117 Nice try, buddy. The Onion is the most credible news source online today. You can tell they' re telling the truth by the authoritative tone they use to tell it. Plus, just look at the sweet flashy graphics! You're just a rafter hater, and if you don't support the rafters, the canyons win. Go back to your phony BBC. USA! USA!

[danielknower117]

@Inediblehulk Haha okay okay, i just missed it the first time give me a break. sometimes its hard to tell when people are being idiots or pretending to be idiots.

[ValarMorgoth]

@danielknower117 So why would you miss a chance to be an idiot yourself, right ?

[mancamiatipoola]

"He should have screamed: TRUCK COMING !"

I LMAO at that one :D !

One of the best ONN shows ever, i laughed throughout the whole thing :D !

[davelantor]

@tdt5000 you forgot the one on the top of the "bias brainwashing news channel" list

The FOX news.

[bassmanboe]

it's funny until it happens

[789shadow]

Poor Clifford Banes.

[freakinawesomeguy32]

I LOVE THE HEAVY LADY!!!!!

[jWestdd]

Come on PEOPLE ... this is a YouTube channel, what do you think? Please understand the difference between REAL journalistic news (NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC -- you may not agree, but the material is FACT BASED), opinion shows (what the Fox station call News: O'Reilly, Hannaity, Rush, Glenn -- this is NOT REAL News, just biased half truths), and FOLLY .... this YouTube Channel. It is amusing, but NOT REAL. People please be reasonable and think before repeating what you see and hear..

[m3n3t3k3l]

My grandfather died this way. It's no laughing matter. 

[SirMikeCoolStuff]

In Soviet Russia rafts kill truckers.

[UHeardMe1stTime]

"THEY LET THE TRUCKS JUST RAIN DOWN!!!"

[ValarMorgoth]

These americans raise fuss about 1 (one) accident like it is happening every day.

[ParamoreWorshipper]

@ValarMorgoth

Hah, you are a total idiot.

[cjgparas3]

people this is real, stay away from the canyons , the probability of this thing happening is VERY VERY high. Be safe.

[smashingpumkins1595]

@cjgparas3 kk thx cause i was gunna go to the grand canyon but i got scared from this video so my family went with out me you probably saved my life

[prophetslostme]

@cjgparas3 we need protective guard rails that would be able to stop up to 20 ton trucks so this doesnt keep happening

[ElveeKaye]

"They just let the trucks RAIN DOWN!!"

I KNO, RITE???

[SuperjailOx]

Truck Comin!

[t2491tom]

that fat lady is way too fucking funny
