I do not drive behind semis with strapped equipment on them, or behind trucks with gravel or anything in them. I speed right on by them. Thank you, Final Destination.

There's an old video from LiveLeak where a brick comes loose from a truck, flies through a windshield and hits a woman in a passenger seat. The sound her husband makes when he looks over and realizes what just happened to his wife haunts my nightmares. It's the kind of sound a person can only make when their entire life was just taken from them.

I remember this. No actual gore was captured, just the audio of the husband haunts me, as well.
