What happened to the guy in the Semi? That looked like a flat tow to me.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm thinking Death happened to that guy.

 

[Jack]

I was wondering ... at what point did the wrecker operator decide -- to put his hands up, and step a w a y from the controls ... ?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Probably when the controls were yanked outta his hands.

This from the YouTube link:

Truck loaded with fish went to hælvette, the trucker got away with a broken arm and some cracked ribs. The towing truck got smashed to pieces, so he was lucky to react so quick and get out in time.

 

[sotc]

Looked to me like he was towing it up the hill as an assist since he stepped out of the cab, the boom and out riggers were stowed. Quick thinking tow truck driver to step out.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Damn scary stuff. Man he bailed just in time!

I'm thinking Death happened to that guy.

You guys need to learn to read Norwegian

I worked up there for a while in my youth, so that is one skill I have:

Broken bones, currently in an intensive care ward.

 

[woodworkingboy]

It sounds painful in any language.

 

[Paul B]

Neat.

30 thousand bucks apiece? Sounds like a blatent case of the military getting ripped off pricewise, as usual.

Lordy!

 

[Paul B]

I think it was $13,000 but I hear ya. lol, my pocket video camera can take a 2 meter drop, is waterproof to 10 feet and is dust proof. $88 plus shipping. too bad it isn't self motile.

 

[woodworkingboy]

$13,000, MB. Still enough left over for 17 grand toilet seats.

 

[Burnham]

I believe it was $13k, but that doesn't really change the point you make.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ah, I thought 30 grand was a tad over the top...

But still... CRIKEY!

 

[woodworkingboy]

There is a saying though, if something isn't selling, raise your prices.

 

[Burnham]

I'll bet the guys serving in Afghanistan will think they are worth every penny.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well of course. I wasn't trying to be disparaging; I just think the military always getting ripped off from manufacturing overpricing.

 

[woodworkingboy]

This is pretty cool, nothing but plain old dog hair.
