I just watched it again and didn't see any knocked over barriers???
Don't tell me you're talking about the tiny amount of rubble right by where the road ends. Just don't.
There should be a full road block well before the end of the road.
When I was driving through Mexico 15 years ago, in the rural areas it was super common to have a huge hole in the road, like they'd dug up part of the lane to repair it, with no warning whatsoever. Sometimes people (I assume the first to crash into it) would put a small stone in the road 40 or 50 feet before the obstacle, but that's super easy to miss in the dark.
One time, during the day thankfully, I was crossing a bridge. The entire right lane just stopped. The concrete had crumbled away into the river below. You could just squeeze by on the other side of the road, but it was dicey. No markings whatsoever.
Was traveling in Mexico on a surf trip, on a mountain road, and we came across a big hole in the road, it was basically our lane had disappeared, and there were some small rocks painted white surrounding the hole. We stopped and looked over the edge, and it was about a 100' drop into the jungle. Scary stuff. Our van would have easily went fit through the hole. This is one of the many reasons you don't drive at night in Mexico.
I still think this is the U.S., we have been failing at alot of things that are not supposed to be the way they are. If tankers can keep derailing all over the country destroying neighborhoods and the govt doesnt care to stop it immediately like it has the power to, I can imagine this existing in the U.S.
Y'know whats crazy. I explained this in detail and how Biden didnt repeal hardly any of the rollbacks because wealthy corporations that support them both crave those lax business laws that gives more ppwer to busjnesses and strips protections on citizens.
Fuck 🍊🤡 and 💤☕️, and anyone who likes em.
The National Transportation Safety Board’s chair said an Obama-era rule the Trump administration nixed would not have prevented the derailment of a train in Ohio, as some partisan commentators inaccurately claim. The rule requiring a new electronic braking system for certain trains carrying hazardous cargo did not apply to that train. - FactCheck.org
The more you know.
This actually happened to a family friend of mine. He was driving back home in a nice neighborhood durinng the hurricane at night and drove off a collapsed bridge. There were no barricades or signs that the bridge was gone. He unfortunately drowned and it was heartbreaking. Things like this need proper signage and barricades.
Edit: The bridge had been collapsed for a number of years. There were houses on either side of the road right next to the former bridge, so it was not obvious that something was wrong.
Had the bridge been blown out by said hurricane? Not really a lot that can be done about that. Even proper signage probably wouldn't stand up to anything past 3.
Something like this happened in California recently. Driver just drove around all the barriers/closure signs earlier in the road. [Picture of the incident is full on FAFO](https://www.kcra.com/article/driver-lands-in-sinkhole-despite-road-closure-signs-tracy-police-say/42678145).
My guess is there’s a parallel road next to this one and this person ignored signs/barricades and drove on this closed road. There’s no way the authorities left open a road with missing sections.
Impressive and or lucky that, especially on a Harley. Was racing a mate in our cars one night on a road with no barriers or street lights, side by side coming up on about 110mph when without warning my lane just switched to dirt and within tens of meters went from level to a 20/30 degree downward slope. So lucky I somehow got it back on the tar without losing control or clipping the back of my mate as he passed.
That is a problem on motorcycles. One day on favorite curve leaned over to enjoy the rush of taking a curve at higher speed. The road was covered with gravel fallen off a truck . Had to straighten up bike without crossing lanes into on coming car. Ride safe fellow biker.
Had it happen in Iowa also. Got up for work at like 5 am and turned down the road and the road was gone. They had removed it durning the night and forgot to put up any signs or road blocks and felt my car just drop on a badly lit road. On my way home they had barriers and signs posted and I was like "Where the hell were those at 5:20!" Guessing I wasn't the only early worker to have a heart attack that morning.
Something similar almost happened to me while I was in Thailand. I was walking on a sidewalk along the beach at night, no street lights or buildings nearby so it was very dark. While I was walking I suddenly had a sense that something wasn’t right up ahead so I very slowly moved forward and found that there was a massive construction hole right where the sidewalk was. No warning signs or barriers.
Fuckin hell. This is why Jersey barriers exist. I work along side alot of road construction crews and whenever I visit their sites you notice the standard road closed and detour signs but then as you get to the actual worksite, you'll have barriers, fences, lights etc set up to ensure no one can mistake it for anything other than an active construction site. Seems common sense.
Another Clark Griswold moment. Rusty:”Dad you must have jumped that car 50 yards” Clark: “that’s nothing to be proud of son” Clark (whispers to self) “50 yards hmmm”
Probably because title is BS, the person already went around barriers that would have been placed well before the video started. We had some kids do this near where I live, drove around barriers and drove off a new overpass under construction.
For me because the video doesn't really show a stupid idea. Just looks like a normalish road at night, frankly. If they'd *included* the signs warning someone not to go on it, then sure. But I've seen far too much he said/she said on reddit to just fucking trust a title these days. I want the proof in the video
This reminds me of that college student who pretty much did [this in Pittsburgh](https://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/this-week-in-pittsburgh-history-bridge-to-nowhere-finally-opens/#:~:text=On%20Dec.%2012%2C%201964%2C%20Frederick%20Williams%2C%20a%2021-year-old,at%20the%20north%20bank%20of%20the%20Allegheny%20River) a long time ago.
Something like this happened near me - flash flooding took out a culvert, a car drove into it in the middle of the night and the driver died, then another car full of drunk teenagers landed on top of the first car a few hours later (killing one of them).
They actually do this shit in mexico. Saw a mangled up car on a pile of boulders one time in middle of nowhere between a 50 yard stretch of missing bridge in baja.
…but but but this worked for Sandra Bullock in the movie Speed! The vehicle was supposed to defy laws of physics and gain a course correction in an inclined angle to jump over the missing road.
They turned off the high beam not to blind the oncoming driver, then was too late to see the missing bridge. A classic example of bad things happen to decent people.
This almost happened to me a couple months ago!
My city has been doing road work on one stretch of the highway for years. I was doing a DoorDash delivery and it took me to a little neighborhood right next to the road work. Unbeknownst to me, the entrance ramp it was off of was actually closed, but they'd left just enough of an opening for the people who lived in that neighborhood to get through. So I go to the address, drop off the food, and come back out on the entrance ramp. It's one way, of course, and there were no signs to direct me otherwise, so I started continuing down the ramp. It was dark and suddenly the road ahead of me looked even darker. I stopped just in time to not fall at least two stories to the ground. I spent another 10 minutes backtracking and trying to find a route out of there before someone saw me, took pity on me, and told me I could just go out the same way I went in, going the wrong way down a one-way road. How was I supposed to know that without signs? And there weren't any cones or anything to warn people that the road just doesn't connect to the highway.
You don't need signs- that's what any drivers (re)education course in the UK will tell you.
You have eyes 👀 and lights 🔦. If you can't see what is in front of you, slow down until you can.
The people that drive poorly like this are the same ones that hit someone and claim "they came out of nowhere". No - driver was no paying attention. The main thing they should be doing when driving is paying attention.
This is like my worst nightmare. There’s a drawbridge that I cross to go fishing and I’m always so paranoid it’s not completely down and I would blindly drive over the edge and smash into the freezing water at the bottom. Fucking terrifying to me every time I cross it.
There's a mountain top in Alaska just like this. But they have reflectors everywhere. It's to prevent "light pollution" so everyone can still see the Aurora Borealis.
Is this in some war torn country? seems strange there's literally no warnings or barriers in place. Ez lawsuit win depending where it is.
[удалено]
look at the bright side... You land on the car before you, so it buffers the fall a bit
Three more csrs and we got ourselves a new bridge
4th car went through smoothly
https://what-if.xkcd.com/160/
What bright side? Bro it's night time.
No no, I think they mean the high beams coming at you /s

The 🍊🤡 rolled back the regulations for train safety. Talk to him about it.

To be fair both democrats and republicans are responsible for the current regulatory state republicans more so.
Oh you mean the regulations that had zero impact on the recent derailment in East Palestine?
Down voted because instead of speaking out of your ass you said a fact. Gotta love Reddit 😂😂😂

By the cars that already fell in the hole.
All stacked up like simpsons tire fire.
So no barriers

Maybe the signs and barricades were also blown away!
Unfortunately that was not the case. The town was negligent and the bridge had been collapsed for multiple years.
Had the bridge been blown out by said hurricane? Not really a lot that can be done about that. Even proper signage probably wouldn't stand up to anything past 3.
Unfortunately no, the bridge had been collapsed for years.
Certainly won’t be an easy lawsuit win here in India. The government (administration) won’t want to admit any fault
If you would still be alive.
Driver should be ok, hopefully they wore a seat belt and had a car with airbags.
It’s drowning that you have to worry about
Just roll the window down to alleviate the pressure and push the door open

Easy lawsuit as long as you survive
What's they I always dig out at least 50ft under my fallen down bridges and plant metal spikes..
Could you imagine being on an overpass about 60 feet up?? You're done.
Uh, boss, I don't think we put the road signs up yesterday.
r/notmyjob
Why, boss?
Boss you are literally the county's road safety superintendent. It is your job
Uh boss, I think we lost one piece of the bridge puzzle
YOU WHAT?!?!

Shoulda went faster
He's doing that now, still hasn't hit the bottom.
Bob hope could jump that in a golf cart
Pull off the Dukes of Hazard.
Inform us as to where this is for the longevity of the human race.
I'm going to have to say that looks like an earth road.
That certainly narrows it down.
I’m inclined to agree, the roads on the moon don’t have the same feel
Or immediate gravitational effects.
"I never drive faster than I can see, and besides, it's all in the reflexes." Jack Burton
So. . .sub-light speed?
Ah Big Trouble in Little China reference. Love it when I see these. They are very far a few in between
Indeed!
I have to imagine there was a road closed sign that this chucklefuck already went past
The road looked fine... until it wasn't.
My guess is there’s a parallel road next to this one and this person ignored signs/barricades and drove on this closed road. There’s no way the authorities left open a road with missing sections.
You really have way to much faith in the "authorities"
Yes, and less faith in average people.
This really depends on the country they are in lol.
that's exactly it, you were supposed to imagine that there was a road closed sign.
Floor it for more air next time.
12th rewatch and still hasn't made it. Hopefully the next one takes the cake
Seems like road don’t work ahead
Uhhh yeah, I sure... uh...
This is why I always reverse everywhere. *<{taps head}>*
Thanks for the nightmares.
This is absolutely nightmare fuel.
i have 100% had this exact nightmare
Plop! and he hit the river bed. Door's jammed! Door's jammed. What a strange fate.
Cruising one night in Georgia on our Harleys ,dark suddenly paved road dropped about one foot NO barriers kept bikes up but on gravel about 65mph !
Impressive and or lucky that, especially on a Harley. Was racing a mate in our cars one night on a road with no barriers or street lights, side by side coming up on about 110mph when without warning my lane just switched to dirt and within tens of meters went from level to a 20/30 degree downward slope.

While I was walking I suddenly had a sense that something wasn’t right up ahead so I very slowly moved forward and found that there was a massive construction hole right where the sidewalk was.

Downvote for ending.
Happened recently in my city. Kids drove past a closed road sign and ended up in a huge pit dug for sewer drains. Killed all of them.
Fuckin hell. This is why Jersey barriers exist.

New fear unlocked. Holy shit that's scary
So it didn't fly over like in 'Speed'?
Maybe you should have bought a squirrel
Not to mention the bright ass light on the other side likely blinding the driver even further.
Video ended too soon! Could’ve been 5 feet, could’ve been 100 feet
You can see the ground at the very end. Looks closer to 5 feet

Then slow the f down
You can't slow down a several ton object instantly, you should have known, you yourself weight approximately the same you smartass

What is that light moving in front? Is it a bike? Then how come it didn't fall over?
My literal nightmare.
Hope he's ok, the driver couldn't do nothing about it
Well u need to stop speeding
New fear unlocked.
I have had this exact dream dozens of times throughout my life and is it possible to have ptsd of something that hasn’t actually happened?
Nightmare fuel
Oh shit! That caught me off guard
Looks like the signs are knocked down. Right at the edge
My worse fear tbh
They can’t park there.

Thats pretty normal in Mexico 😗
This same thing happened in Ontario last year. It was near Barrie. I think 5 or 6 young people died.
I thought one of the Duke Boys was going to give a rebel yell.
Something like this happened near me - flash flooding took out a culvert, a car drove into it in the middle of the night and the driver died, then another car full of drunk teenagers landed on top of the first car a few hours later (killing one of them).
Damnnnnn that was totally unexpected! Hope they’re ok!
I have had this nightmare so many times.
Looks like those Duke boys got themselves in a whole heap of trouble
Fuck I literally had a dream about this happening to me the other night…. Except i started falling about 1000ft to my death.
Oh hey it's my Recurring Dream #32!
Legit gonna have a nightmare about this. One of my worst fears
Horrifying
No road signs because there’s no fucking road 😵
They're looking for the Candle Supply
They actually do this shit in mexico. Saw a mangled up car on a pile of boulders one time in middle of nowhere between a 50 yard stretch of missing bridge in baja.
Should’ve pressed R3 right before if they had the car bounce code
…but but but this worked for Sandra Bullock in the movie Speed! The vehicle was supposed to defy laws of physics and gain a course correction in an inclined angle to jump over the missing road.
maybe that's the road
I bet the car on the other side was like " I don't remember a steep hill being up there" .."oh"
They turned off the high beam not to blind the oncoming driver, then was too late to see the missing bridge. A classic example of bad things happen to decent people.
So are they alive ?

Not really. You're responsible for driving slowly with limited visibility
You're not supposed to speeding that fast in a completely dark road.
You don't need signs- that's what any drivers (re)education course in the UK will tell you. You have eyes 👀 and lights 🔦. If you can't see what is in front of you, slow down until you can. The people that drive poorly like this are the same ones that hit someone and claim "they came out of nowhere". No - driver was no paying attention.

I think there is a road signs but got knocked down .

this is a great example of adapting speed to visibility.
This is like my worst nightmare. There’s a drawbridge that I cross to go fishing and I’m always so paranoid it’s not completely down and I would blindly drive over the edge and smash into the freezing water at the bottom. Fucking terrifying to me every time I cross it.
This looks like a bad dream, minus the get to wake up unscathed part.
Wow you’ve captured the nightmares that make me wake from my sleep on camera
Shoulda just put some skull and crossbones signs up
This also happened In barrie ontario last year . 6 people died.
I have nightmares about this exact thing happening all the time.
