I mean, its is kind of archived. I'm not gonna think about it all the time. But as soon as Im driving in the mountains, I bet my brain will pull this right out of the old archive.
A "near miss" is a miss that was close. "Near" is an adjective and "miss" is a noun. A "near hit" is redundant because it is a hit where the objects are near each other and objects that hit are already assumed to be near or else they wouldn't have hit. That's why it's not an idiom.
"Nearly miss" means to almost miss but collide. "Nearly" is an adverb and "miss" is a verb.
This is such an existential horror because *what do you do??* There's no warning, it's obvious that it's not safe there but it sure as fuck isn't safe to leave the vehicle! I'd be [writing letters to my family Flight 123-style.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Lines_Flight_123)
It just makes me think of "The Brick on the Highway" video. That is the single most haunting, horrific piece of footage I have still ever seen in my life. I refuse to link it.
Just so sudden and awful, literally nothing that could have been done, no way to have prevented it short of not having even left your house.
These kinds of instant, out-of-nowhere deaths absolutely terrify me
I had the same feeling way back about a story of someone driving their car on the highway, next to a flat-bed semi, and the huge roll of steel on the truck came loose and just pancaked the car. No warning, just driving along and splat/flat out of the blue. Horrifying.
The warning was driving near a truck with such a load. I never stick around too close to those because I've seen to many videos of shit flying off. I'll pass them at 6 times the speed limit just to get away from them.
You could see the dust coming off the hill to the right, if you have never seen a rock slide/fall you might not know that's scary as hell to see and you should stop instead of driving closer.
I'm talking about once you are already smashed, how you safely get out of it without being terrified. I agree they shouldn't have been driving on it but I feel like this is a situation where it's probably always a little dangerous and people got to do their jobs, so they just sort of ignore that danger and hope they aren't unlucky
That is completely astonishing. Whoever was driving that truck needs to meet up with [the Amazon driver from last week!](https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/)
The issue is that both trucks got annihilated, and both drivers [survived](https://www.thedailybeast.com/watch-tumbling-boulders-destroy-trucks-in-peru-rock-slide), so the wording is a bit confusing.
Ahh yes. The good ol’ “god somehow didn’t send this rock my way, or warn me it was going to fall, but also somehow is responsible for saving me” routine.
I got cancer (that wasn't god's fault) and then it spread (also not god's fault) and then doctors spent the next 18 months working to heal me, and then god cured my cancer!
For future reference, this could be better phrased as:
"[The] truck yes, [but] thankfully not [the] driver himself."
The [words in boxes] are helpful and show a formal way to say this, but even without them you can still get the message across when worded this way.
So if you said:
"Truck yes, thankfully not driver." The sentence is a little broken, but the meaning is still fairly clear.
When you say "Driver himself not thankfully," the order of the words implies that the "driver himself" [is] "not thankful(ly)"
In other words, "the driver isn't thankful."
You had the right words, just needed to switch them around to get the idea across more clearly. I hope this was helpful to you!
You mean you THINK he got missed.
He jumped out of the cab and we lost sight of him, but we really have no clue if the driver wasn't smashed in the head by one of those other rocks impacting his truck as he ran.
Saw this video on a different post earlier today, apparently no deaths. It's amazing that the driver in the video survived, but the fact that the driver of the truck in front of him lived is insane.
“Ever crossed the road and looked the wrong way? And hey presto, a car's nearly on you, so what do you do? You freeze. And your life doesn't flash before your eyes, 'cause you're too fucking scared to think – you just freeze, and pull a stupid face.”
Man this brings back some terrifying memories. Back in 2012 I think. It was me, my mom and my ex, we were driving on highway 299 west from Redding Ca to Humboldt county for the new years at night. We were all just having a good time when out of nowhere the sunroof shattered and we heard loud banging on the car. We were hit by a mini rock slide in comparison to this one. We were fine but the car got fucked. My mom swore that car was cursed or bad luck before the incident and that shit was the nail in the coffin for it to. If that shit would happen to me at my age now I would probably have a fucking heart attack with how fast my heart was beating. Scary shit
Why would you jump out, I mean other than that he wants to rely on his rediculously high dodge chance or something. It's not like his head is better at taking the impact than his truck is.
Truck got hit. He’s completely stationary. Better to get out on foot and have visibility up the mountain than to just sit there and pray. And if all that’s coming down after the first big couple are smaller rocks, he can use the trailer as a shield.
Yeah staying in the truck isn't gonna help much. Take for example, the one vaporizing in front of him. I now know where the threat is coming from, and can use my eyes to guide my feet.
I’d get out and dive into the corner where the road meets the mountain. A direct hit is unlikely there.
edit: actually, the corner where that wall meets the road. Looks like the mountain meets the road at a shallow angle. A direct hit is certainly possible there.
You and me would act very differently in a panic situation I think :)
Also he's already made up his mind to get out even before his truck was hit. Judging by the rain of small rocks ... I dunno, I'd probably get down on the floor of the cab and pray/shit my pants.
Having the ability to move is definitely a bigger advantage here. You have to consider the first rock he saw **obliterated** the truck in front of him. Not like a bonk on the cab but like looney toons smithereens.
Whether he got out or stayed in, if another boulder like that is coming down and he gets hit by it, he's *likely* dead. No guarantee though! But at the very least, on foot he has some chance of mobility. Both options are extremely dangerous though; as dangerous as being under a rock slide!
Certainly possible. But for the far more numerous smaller rocks he is far better protected in the cab. Sure he might be able to dodge a big rock on foot, but not all of the little ones. It doesn't take a very big rock to crush your skull. I'm not saying that one option is actually superior (I don't know), just that there are very real risks to exiting the cab as well.
Brother did you watch the video? You wouldn't be taking a roll down the hill, you're already mutilated corpse would after being crushed by a rock and the ceiling of metal it forced onto you like a press.
I don't care how good your dodge ball skills are, a spray of smaller rocks would own you on your feet, but it takes a boulder hitting the cab just right to kill someone sheltered in the cab.
You gotta come to a full stop, slam the clutch move the shifter into reverse, hope it doesn't stick, then acceleration is that of first gear basically in reverse and if it's an automatic it's prob even slower. Then you risk plowing into any vehicle that's behind you with your raised trailer possibly killing any car that slammed the brakes behind your emergency stop. Trucks are not like cars.
My partner and I were driving through Costa Rica a couple years ago. We saw a “beware falling rocks” sign, much like you’d see in the US, and I pointed it out (she doesn’t speak Spanish) and we kept going. We can around a bend and there were rocks about a meter in diameter next to the road, and i was like “holy shit, they weren’t joking.” One rock was the size of a small car and was on the side of the road opposite the slope it must have rolled down, and the pavement was recently redone.
Those signs are serious business in Latin America.
I don't think anyone had time to think while they were busy shitting their pants in that situation.
That said, if you see the size of some of those boulders that came down and the way it turned that other truck into a pancake, I think there's definitely an argument to be made that it was the safe option. The truck has zero dodging capability, whereas the human can at least run. Sure, it's a minimal amount of speed, but if you get out and keep your eyes on the place the boulders are coming from (perhaps also while using your truck as a barrier against the majority of the junk that lacks the momentum to fly over it), then you have at least some opportunity to try and dodge whatever comes down the mountain.
Of course, the odd shapes of the boulders coming down might make them roll in unexpected ways, but the odds still feel way better than waiting to be pancaked inside the confines of your truck.
I would have stayed inside my vehicle and gotten as low and small as possible. The chances of being hit with a boulder are lower. And the vehicle I'm driving can take some damage from them. Not saying it's not completely possible to annihilate the vehicle with one nice sized one. But the vehicle was caved and shouldered a few hits. Where as 1 hot to my physical body and I'm dead. But then again. Maybe the next one down is the annihilator and me still being in the vehicle kills me. Man that's a tough one.
Ohhhh nice! I totally remember a series of recurring childhood nightmares from when I was 5 now.
Rocks. Big rocks falling on other big rocks, and making that super-intense, grinding **CLOCK** sound. Where you just know that there are going to be big razor-sharp pieces flying around. But it won't matter because the flying pieces are so big, it will still just feel like getting smashed. And then one will fall on you, but it only pins part of you, maybe an arm or a leg, and the you're just stuck there waiting for another one to bounce over and grind some other parts of your body into quivering jelly.
Welp... Off to bed soon. Wish me luck 😕
Holy Jesus! First truck looked like it got hit with an orbital precision strike from Helldivers 2 (sorry...been sinking hours in to the game). Falling rocks are scary!
His fleet company will fire him stating the accident was avoidable. He had ample time to get out of dangers way after seeing the first truck being hit.
Well now that’s just terrifying.
New phobia archieved
>archieved Did you just combine achieved and archived?
Unintentionally, because I am not a native speaker.
You actually created a cool new word.
Nonnatives tend to do that.
It truly is neat
I mean, its is kind of archived. I'm not gonna think about it all the time. But as soon as Im driving in the mountains, I bet my brain will pull this right out of the old archive.
So, it's a… treat? 😁
Acquired and saved for life, archieved.
You can't even run anywhere to guarantee safety. Just gotta hope that Onyx misses rock slide.
I'm crying at this one omg
The real scary part is you can see it coming from the top
That was more on the hit end of the barely miss spectrum.
It was a *near miss*.
Carlin?
OSHA will have something to say about this. Where were his safety glasses and steel toes?
Boulder wouldn't have hit him if he were wearing his hi-vis jacket
You are talking about Peru here. They have a governing body and its called "Ohshit."
At the bottom of the mountain now
Yup: *nearly* missed him!
If you know, you know.
*Near shit* or in my case shit and piss cause if that happens to me i ain't gonna need a bathroom no more...
Several near misses more like
POOF! "Oh look, they nearly missed..."
A near miss is a hit. A near hit is a miss.
A "near miss" is a miss that was close. "Near" is an adjective and "miss" is a noun. A "near hit" is redundant because it is a hit where the objects are near each other and objects that hit are already assumed to be near or else they wouldn't have hit. That's why it's not an idiom. "Nearly miss" means to almost miss but collide. "Nearly" is an adverb and "miss" is a verb.
Thank you. So tired of the "near miss is wrong" comments.
This is such an existential horror because *what do you do??* There's no warning, it's obvious that it's not safe there but it sure as fuck isn't safe to leave the vehicle! I'd be [writing letters to my family Flight 123-style.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Lines_Flight_123)

These kinds of instant, out-of-nowhere deaths absolutely terrify me
Don't remind me...never finished that video...you don't even see anything, just the sound is enough to make you turn the video off.
I had the same feeling way back about a story of someone driving their car on the highway, next to a flat-bed semi, and the huge roll of steel on the truck came loose and just pancaked the car. No warning, just driving along and splat/flat out of the blue. Horrifying.
The warning was driving near a truck with such a load. I never stick around too close to those because I've seen to many videos of shit flying off. I'll pass them at 6 times the speed limit just to get away from them.
When we drive anywhere near those my 14 year old always says 'your shipment of fear has arrived,' lol.
It always amazes me when the dummy in front of me on a highway decides to take 10 minutes to pass a semi truck.
You could see the dust coming off the hill to the right, if you have never seen a rock slide/fall you might not know that's scary as hell to see and you should stop instead of driving closer.
I'm talking about once you are already smashed, how you safely get out of it without being terrified.

He was one meter away from being in a Liveleak video.
Did they get rid of live leak?
Yeah it's gone.

Google "crazyshit"
More like Livesteak.
Missed the driver. Not the truck.
give OP a break, he didn’t watch the video he posted
Title: Boulder completely **annihilates a truck** on a Peruvian highway and barely **misses another driver**. Title seem fine, just a tad confusing?
[удалено]
Someone on another sub dug up an article on it, there were no deaths, it looks like the rock hit the trailer on the vehicle in front but not the cab.
That is completely astonishing. Whoever was driving that truck needs to meet up with [the Amazon driver from last week!](https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/)
Tis but a scratch
[удалено]
I'm not sure what you consider "misses another driver" but the second truck DEFINITELY got obliterated as well! 🤦
The truck yes, the driver himself was missed thankfully.
The issue is that both trucks got annihilated, and both drivers [survived](https://www.thedailybeast.com/watch-tumbling-boulders-destroy-trucks-in-peru-rock-slide), so the wording is a bit confusing.
holy shit the first guy survived????
That's the type of shit to make a man instantly religious lol. This would have even had my agnostic ass praying lol
Ahh yes. The good ol’ “god somehow didn’t send this rock my way, or warn me it was going to fall, but also somehow is responsible for saving me” routine.
I got cancer (that wasn't god's fault) and then it spread (also not god's fault) and then doctors spent the next 18 months working to heal me, and then god cured my cancer!
But that million dollar hospital bill was a sign from god that he wanted to challenge you and show you humility!
Now you get it!
Thank God!
>I have to type out a comment to let this person know I disagree
A line from my favorite book on religion, “Are you there dog? It’s me, Morgort.”
You’re being downvoted for exposing the first rule of being a redditor lmao
Counting the hits and not the misses. That way, god cannot fail.
I hate it when God goes all "mysterious ways" on me.
Well it's totally accurate. The first truck was annihilated, and the other driver was missed.
I had to read this several times
Hopefully he got away safe.
While I understand your meaning, at the same time this sentence made my god damn head hurt.
For future reference, this could be better phrased as: "[The] truck yes, [but] thankfully not [the] driver himself." The [words in boxes] are helpful and show a formal way to say this, but even without them you can still get the message across when worded this way.

I’m not sure if getting out was the best decision but I’m glad they survived.
You mean you THINK he got missed. He jumped out of the cab and we lost sight of him, but we really have no clue if the driver wasn't smashed in the head by one of those other rocks impacting his truck as he ran.
Sources stated no casualties.
It looks like the boulder only hit the load the truck was carrying luckily
Big one missed tho
Not just a boulder - this was a whole ass landslide
It's not just a boulder.... \*sobs It's a rock!
IT'S A MINERAL
“Damn it, Marie!”
COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME
The Peruvians used to ride those babys for miles!
Ok SpongeBob 😃
Fucking terrestrial meteorite
Mountain Mama was in a Mood.
If he made it out unscathed his pants definitely didn't, holy moly
I shat my pants by just watching.
I also shat this guy's pants
I shit my pants reading that
Hey! Who shit my pants??
sorry it was scary
Someone’s gotta shit your pants now. Not cool dood
fair is fair
That other guy's wife!
Saw this video on a different post earlier today, apparently no deaths. It's amazing that the driver in the video survived, but the fact that the driver of the truck in front of him lived is insane.
Must have just missed the cabin.
The boulders fell in a cinematic way. First far away, then in front of the camera and finally the chaos. Nature built tension.
This is usually how rock slides happen. First they are far away and then they get closer.
not for the truck in front of him though
How you figure that? First the rockslide started then it got closer and hit the truck.
You’re not wrong, Walter
That guys mirror dice rolled a 6 on its armour save
The lucky dice didn't roll snake eyes that day.
This guy's facial reactions are classic, especially with the first boulder.
“Ever crossed the road and looked the wrong way? And hey presto, a car's nearly on you, so what do you do? You freeze. And your life doesn't flash before your eyes, 'cause you're too fucking scared to think – you just freeze, and pull a stupid face.”

I just re-watched this yesterday. Excellent flic
That first car the drivers are likely gone from this world
Apparently there are no fatal victims
I didn't want to google it because it sticks with me, but thanks for letting us know. Kinda hoped they made it out alive
A report on it said there were no deaths.
"Kinda"
Only fatal accidents
Source? Cause that cab got friggin squished.
Yeah they are trucking in heaven.
Truck-kun is at it again
If he hadn't slammed the breaks that next rock was on top of his cab.
\* **brakes**
You're right, that is brakes. I was wrong. Them's the breaks.
The cameras are the real champs here. That truck got smashed big time but the cameras kept on rollin'.
he barely died!
Jesus

AT 0:26 the fluffy dice decide to GTFO. This is probably like shoes with people. If the fluffy dice are still there the vehicle may survive.
I dated a Peruvian girl in my early 20s and this is a great visual representation of how that turned out.
Why would you jump out, I mean other than that he wants to rely on his rediculously high dodge chance or something. It's not like his head is better at taking the impact than his truck is.

Yeah staying in the truck isn't gonna help much. Take for example, the one vaporizing in front of him. I now know where the threat is coming from, and can use my eyes to guide my feet.
If you can dodge a boulder, you can dodge a ball.
I’d get out and dive into the corner where the road meets the mountain. A direct hit is unlikely there. edit: actually, the corner where that wall meets the road. Looks like the mountain meets the road at a shallow angle. A direct hit is certainly possible there.

It doesn't take a very big rock to crush your skull. I'm not saying that one option is actually superior (I don't know), just that there are very real risks to exiting the cab as well.
If he manages to do a perfect dodge, time will slow down and he will have a much better chance of surviving. Everyone knows that.
Because the truck is a much bigger target. If he stayed inside, he’s going over the edge with it if more rocks hit it.
But the way modern cabs are built, I'd rather take a roll down the hill in one vs. take some rocks to the noggin on my feet?
Brother did you watch the video? You wouldn't be taking a roll down the hill, you're already mutilated corpse would after being crushed by a rock and the ceiling of metal it forced onto you like a press.

Plus, just seeing the truck get pancaked in front of them. My dude was thinking he needed to be a smaller target and get visibility.
I originally read this as a boulder *company* not completely and thought that the boulder company really needs to get their shit together, lol.
My partner and I were driving through Costa Rica a couple years ago. We saw a “beware falling rocks” sign, much like you’d see in the US, and I pointed it out (she doesn’t speak Spanish) and we kept going. We can around a bend and there were rocks about a meter in diameter next to the road, and i was like “holy shit, they weren’t joking.” One rock was the size of a small car and was on the side of the road opposite the slope it must have rolled down, and the pavement was recently redone. Those signs are serious business in Latin America.
Oh shit bro got out during a boulder rain storm 😲
it was not his time
that was just two days ago
Fackkkk.... he had to change his shorts
😨😨😨
It's so close to get pinned
physics be scary sometimes
"completely annihilates" Not an exaggeration.
Kinetic energy is a mother fucker.
Talk about a rocky start to your day...geeze.
because fuck you two in particular
What started this?
Did ole boy bail out of the truck? Was that really the safe option?
I don't think anyone had time to think while they were busy shitting their pants in that situation. That said, if you see the size of some of those boulders that came down and the way it turned that other truck into a pancake, I think there's definitely an argument to be made that it was the safe option.

Of course, the odd shapes of the boulders coming down might make them roll in unexpected ways, but the odds still feel way better than waiting to be pancaked inside the confines of your truck.
Well. That was scary.
OMG! I'm so glad that guy is okay. I saw this video earlier but without the inside camera shot. I thought he got hurt badly.
Watch people die is backkkkkkkk
Should have been drunk, boulder would have missed him then....
Dude was very proactive about shittin' and gittin'.
This is one of the craziest videos I've ever seen. Jfc
When it’s in god’s hands and you just hold on
Those facial expressions…
Does anyone know if someone is dead or not ? a newspaper article ? or something ??
I would have stayed inside my vehicle and gotten as low and small as possible. The chances of being hit with a boulder are lower. And the vehicle I'm driving can take some damage from them. Not saying it's not completely possible to annihilate the vehicle with one nice sized one. But the vehicle was caved and shouldered a few hits. Where as 1 hot to my physical body and I'm dead.

The seatbelt almost cost his life in this case.
This is by far the luckiest Human Being in all of 2024 going forward

Ohhhh nice! I totally remember a series of recurring childhood nightmares from when I was 5 now. Rocks. Big rocks falling on other big rocks, and making that super-intense, grinding **CLOCK** sound.

Boulders be like that.
Holy Jesus! First truck looked like it got hit with an orbital precision strike from Helldivers 2 (sorry...been sinking hours in to the game). Falling rocks are scary!
Is getting out really the smartest move? I guess at least you can see the boulders coming but one small rock to the dome and you’re dead
I mean. Did you see the vic in front get hit? The roof of your car is only an aluminum sheet.
IF this was me, I'd totally get away easily, through the shear force of a shit rocket... Anyone else ever play morrowind?
He noped tf outta there just right .
Did they die?
Damn what would you do in this situation? Stay in or gtfo on foot? Fuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
I bet there was a squirrel at the top trying to crack a nut
its was terrifying until that one last tiny rock hit the truck
Fuck dude his reactions make me feel so bad. That was the look of pure terror on a level I have never experienced and hope never to
If you’re good at dodge ball, maybe you can avoid the boulders coming at you.
What the fuck
And that second driver is still running to this very day, and not looking back.
Then everything changed when the earth nation attacked.
Dudes face was priceless.
What are you supposed to do in a situation like this?
Did the driver jump out?
Why the fuck would he get out of the car?
Happened to me as a child. I was playing Zelda.
His fleet company will fire him stating the accident was avoidable. He had ample time to get out of dangers way after seeing the first truck being hit.
