On a related note...

"What's the sound made when wheels fall off passenger jets after takeoff?"

Boeing! Boeing! Boeing!
Oh, I thought it was playing Steely Dan (or was that you). If you were playing Primus you may have had more stressed results:fingerscrossed:

Reminds me of the time (90s) a very lifted truck in front of me on the freeway broke it's drive shaft. It was banging around underneath still connected on one end, beating the crap out of the underside of the truck, then it broke off and came right at me. Somehow it decided to go off the side of the freeway without hitting anyone.

Once I was on interstate 27 following semi. Rear leaf spring came out and I couldn't swerve due to traffic. Drove over sliding spring in my Chevy luv pickup at 65 mph somehow spring stayed flat on road and I cleared it. The rear axle of semi veered off road entering at least one motel room.....

You can edit videos on Youtube. It will be compressed by default, then just trim the segments before and after what you want to keep.
Thank you for the YouTube suggestion. I've never uploaded/posted any videos before, they make it pretty easy, and I've gone back in and shortened them

Wow the video is crazy!

Honestly though my attention was actually first drawn to the Steely Dan playing on the radio... 😂😎

I've got to figure out how to shorten/compress my dashcam video, but here is a screen shot of a wheel & tire headed my way today, from the trailer in the center lane,,,,,,

Had one of those coming at me from a tractor trailer on a motorcycle a number of years ago.... Fortunately, it passed over my head/helmet during one of the bounces.

Hell of a shot...but I think you meant from the "right" lane. That solid white doesn't look like a lane. :cool:

Agree! Watching both videos, the far-right lane that is more evident in the rear-facing shot is an exit lane. At the moment of loss, it's only 2 lanes wide.

What speed would you estimate the truck & trailer?
At least it was not a steel coil.

I was at 69mph at the time, I'd say the truck & trailer was about 65. I was catching him, but not that quickly.
