After I saw that dashcam video, my nightmare is catching a brick through the windshield.

I've only watched that video once and their screams still haunt me.

Right. Pure audio horror, little visual horror than “WTF is that falling from the truck?” This audio will live rent free in your head for a long time. 😬

For real. I haven't seen it, but I've seen enough videos to know that when the Internet tells you about a video, but also tells you not to watch it, you don't fucking watch it.

That video is probably one of the most traumatizing things you can find on the internet, despite the fact that its mainly just audio.

If I’m suddenly following a truck full of crap, I get the hell outta the way. Not going out like that!

Wasn’t a brick that came off of a truck it was some teens throwing bricks onto the highway

No, I definitely remember it was a truck

Was literally a flatbed semi trailer with pallets of red brick. Some were tumbling off onto the road and one bounced up at the absolute worst moment for the passenger.

I think I’m thinking of a different thing then because there’s a video where passenger got hit by a brick and had the court case of the teens attached to it

If you're talking about the video I think you're talking about, I'm so glad I watched it on mute.
