It looks as if it narrowly missed being much worse than it was. If the car had been a second or two later I think it would have dead-centered the side of that bus... no telling how many casualties might have occurred.

But what did they use for a ramp? {I haven't watched the video yet}
Looked like he hit the K-Rail (Jersey Barrier) and it launched. Possibly more sloped than most of the barriers I'm used to.AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 8:08 pmBut what did they use for a ramp? {I haven't watched the video yet}
================
Now i have watched it.
Who was driving that thing - Hal Needham?
Yep.
Whether it's the lanes of one road, or it's two roads running parallel, he clearly launches up the grade separation.
There's about a mile-long stretch of I-90 in Montana where the eastbound and westbound lanes are on opposite sides of the valley, with the river between them. Granted, it's a pretty narrow valley in that area...AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 10:42 pm In SOuth Carolina there is (or was - it's been a long time since i was out that way) a stretch of US 29 where there's a mile difference in distance one the southbound and northbound lanes between Greenville and Spartanburg.
In North Carolina, there's a couple of miles on I-85 where the northbound lanes run to the left of the southbound ones.
Well, that would be because with the distance, people have to be more deliberate in their rubber-necking...
They can probably make her a lava cake.
Hey! How dare you insult my "national" dish!!!

I know what you mean... I still haven't organized my tools and various equipment (camping, sewing, etc) since moving into my house last summer, because I have yet to clean out the workshop from all the stuff that was left behind by the previous owner (he used to collect all sorts of odds and ends, as well as various scrap wood pieces, which he repurposed into various objects, in a very artistic manner - that guy was very skilful with wood...) When he left the house, his nephew came to "clean up" the place, including the workshop... he ended up taking all the tools, but leaving all the mess behind, including close to ¼" of sawdust everywhere back there... The guy even left with the mailbox! (A mailbox which his uncle, the former owner, had made, which looked like a little house...) I ended up taking the box in the back, which was used for clothespins, as my mailbox. It too, was made into the shape of a house, with two little windows and a door, and actually ressembles my house.
Cat knows it's not supposed to be up there. It put THAT MUCH EFFORT into getting, opening, and eating something it knew wasn't for it.
Open the workshop door, and use a leaf blower. Wear a face mask.I know what you mean...

Meanwhile, I still have to delay doing some stuff, because I don't know where a particular set of tools or piece of equipment will be...
