In Boston, Storrow Drive is a busy road that runs along the Charles, but has a lot of low overpasses because of the bridges that run over the river. Trucks hit the overpasses from time to time. Two trucks today have already hit overpasses

In Russia (where else) they apparently have some kind of badass trapdoors in addition to the barriers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCN135SdnBg&t=25s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_0_o1N9hBw

Dunk Bot 3000 posted:That's not even one of those awful trains that feel like they're 10 miles long, dude risked his life so he wouldn't have to wait 5 seconds. If he had just kept walking instead of running the train would've been gone by the time he got to the tracks what the gently caress. I went to a college where the campus was bisected by freight train tracks, and of course my dorm was on one side and the dining hall was on the other. I would get SO MAD when I got stuck waiting for 87 tanks of corn syrup to pass by but it was never urgent enough to risk death. The engineers would get even madder when kids would run across the tracks in front of the train. You could hear them cussing at the "dumb motherfuckers". A few years after I left a kid tried to jump onto the train and ended up getting his leg run over.

Hey man, don't poo poo talk the hillbilly first aid kit! There's probably a bottle of shine in there that'll help take the edge off that cranial trauma. I didn't get the impression that they were siblings.

It seems she was trying to go back in her house when the one in pink chased after her. Its always funny seeing teenagers film fights, cheering on the aggressor, then suddenly are are like silent and shocked when the tables get turned. It made a pretty sweet sound when she got bonked on the head too.

One of the comments is someone praising the shoveler for managing to throw the shovel and have it connect. It's practically point blank range, if she'd kept hold of it it would've still hit. The whole thing sounded really dumb, but I admit to laughing for a brief moment at the sound of it hitting her head. The potential brain trauma killed any amusement though.

Boston is what happens when you go from several hundred thousands horses cruising your streets to several hundred thousand cars cruising your streets. Fun fact: The (number that I've forgotten) horses in New York city in 1898 produced around 2 million pounds of horse poop every day. Where did 2 million pounds of horse poo poo go every day?

Trucks hit the overpasses from time to time. There's a train trestle in North Carolina where this happens enough that a guy started filming it. Check out his website. The best part is when they put up a new sign and someone immediately smacks it. (e: Here's that one) e2: VVVV  I wish there was sound to go with that, because I bet that guy's voice went about 2 octaves higher than he's normally capable of, yelling when Scream Mask Guy scares the gently caress out of him.

Where did 2 million pounds of horse poo poo go every day? Probably got dumped in the river. I went tubing on the Hudson River way up north in the Adirondacks, where it's beautifully clear and pristine, and there was a little boy from New York City crying because he didn't want to get in the Hudson.
