Another Reason Not To Walk To Work
How would you like to be this commuter in Russia who was running a little late to work yesterday. He walks to work and as he approaches a crosswalk the light starts to turn and so he starts jogging. The problem he faces is a bus that is headed straight towards him. The bus lost its brakes and ended up causing a 19 car accident. Think maybe this guy needed a drink after this?
Saw this earlier today - how lucky IS this guy?? I watched and wondered if I would have just frozen instead of speeding up
ReplyDelete*LOL* Holy shit!
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I walk to work every day and I walk right through downtown. I think Calgary has north america's highest percentage of poor drivers. Not a week goes by where I don't have a new story about almost getting hit by a car when I was crossing the street when I had a green light.
I would never run out at the last second though. That's just asking for an accident.
No comment about Russians and needing a drink ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat he needed was a change of clothes.
ReplyDelete@sunnyside - That's exactly what I was thinking!
ReplyDeleteHarriot,
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! I NEVER cross when the light is going to change. Calgarians don't know the difference between Merge and Yeld either.....
Yeah, I was going to say a drink and some new pants but Sunnyside beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best youtube video I've ever seen. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteJust needs the Tetris theme to it. The bus is like the long piece you're always waiting for but lands in the wrong spot.
too soon?
