My Dad’s friend in college had this happen, except with a plumbing truck and pipe, and it decapitated his wife and daughter.
Thanks for the nightmares.

The final destination scene was one thing but do you all remember that real video where it was I think a brick that just obliterates one of the occupants, you don’t see much but you hear the reaction from the other passenger and it fucking haunts you for years.
Yes I saw that one. And the 2x4 one. The 2x4 one I think they live but it came really close
At least it isn’t a brick.
I know exactly what this is referencing and I’ve never watched the clip. The comments at the time were enough to properly disturb me.
The opening setpieces were always so well done in those first three movies
What movies?
Final Destination? Darn I didn’t know this place had underage people in it.
Either way though check 1, 2 and 3 out, they’re not high brow masterpieces or anything, but decent 2000s blockbusters, especially if you’re someone that goes on or around planes, rollercoasters and subways a lot and makes regular visits to the dentist.
2003 was 21 years ago, bub.
I’m 19. And I don’t watch movies and series at all and am not American, so maybe that’s the reason why I haven’t seen this before.
The cultural penetration of this scene has become visible when on the highway and you see a truck carrying logs and how everyone avoids being directly behind it.
That’s actually pretty smart though.
And a good thing too, those log-truck drivers need all the room they can get on icy mountain roads.
Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.
I can absolutely confirm this. Always joked about it until we found ourselves out in the PNW and that joke became very real very quickly.
Yeah, Oregon doesn’t think this shit is funny at all.
What’s that?
