2. Well, if the driver was an athiest before I’d wager a bet he/she was thanking some deity after they cleaned their shorts.

3. …bet his truck seat was wet.

4. …and stinky.

5. …i’d also like to thank the engineer who had the brain fart of running a road so close to the edge.
   unless of course that was due to erosion it is so close

6. Here’s the spot in Google maps: tinyurl.com/yruhql

7. …i’d also like to meet the guys who had to do the form pre-fab work for the concrete spillway…
   “You do it…”
   “No you do it…”
   “No you do it…”
   “Hey Mikie…”

8. Well, the funny thing is, he may be a local, knew about the perilous gorge, and decided to end it (his life) there. Were he an irrational thinker, he may think he was not so lucky in this case, but I’d hope he’d think differently about it all after coming through that.

9. Since there is an outlet pipe right there, tomax7, I doubt there’s been much erosion.
   And after looking at some aerial photos of the area, it looks like it’s hard to avoid having steep drop offs on some of the roads. It looks like they’re climbing up to tablelands.

10. Bubba and Louise

11. Big deal. Wile E. Coyote has been through many, many scrapes similar to this and has returned to Road Runner-hunting with nary a scratch, albeit unsuccessfully.

12. So now we are publishing six month old stuff from Snopes that just arrives in the inbox. Wow. Colour me totally underwhelmed.
    And to think I voted for this blog in the last two years of the Weblog Awards.
    Time for me to find some other Canuck source of reading material methinks.

13. You do that.

14. “Time for me to find some other Canuck source of reading material methinks.”
    Uh, please leave. Don’t ever come back.

    Mind that screen door on your way out.

16. The barrier would have stopped a truck doing the speed limit.That truck demolished the barrier and still had enough momentum to do an end over end over that culvert and land on it wheels on the other side.Does a 100mph plus sound about right? A stronger barrier,why,to protect idiots?

17. spike 1, the unpolitically correct truth.

18. …maybe he saw those “Airborne” regiment ads for the military and tried it on his own?
    The more I look at it, yeah, it was a suicide run, or the guy was totally plastered, I mean totally, and almost literally.
    Judging from the garbage at the bottom of the cliff, this may have been tried by others?

19. …i’d also hate to be the people in the picture of the town living down below, can you imagine how many kids/drunks probably throw rocks or pee on a Saturday night from above?
    All together now let’s sing:
    “Raindrops are falling on my head…”
    Hope they are low rentals down there, cuz the optics, err view isn’t the best you know.

20. …or the paramedics in the picture by the passenger door.
    “I SAID OPEN THE LEEEEEEEEFFFfffttttttt dooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr……”

21. ..nix the suicide run, he could have done it coming from the opposite direction. Obviously looking at the satellite picture he took the corner too fast.
    But had to be really going fast as that is from an uphill direction.

22. Never ever let TED KENNEDY drive

    Not a fan of history?
