This video is from the scene of a highway accident in Chile three weeks ago. A recovery crew managed to flip the overturned tractor trailer back upright, but didn’t think about what would happen to the truck afterward.

    Wow. Easy enough mistake to make, though it was a dumb one as well. I just hope no one below got hurt by it coming crushing down.

    The manufacturer of that trailer should use this as marketing materials though. Demonstrating the ruggedness and durability of their products.

    i always hear stories about this kind of things happening in my country, as if we are prone to bad luck or we are careless or something...

    Also, that troll stamp is so cute!

    Don't run away. Get the shot! I guess I will just have to imagine the connection between the first scene where the truck starts to move and the next scene where it crashes into the truck down the hill.
