  • Truck being driven was most likely one of These (notice the hydraulic arm for the concrete chute on the front and in the video). Concrete probably sloshed out of the top and thus down the chute onto the car. IDK if there’s a way to close these up when in “transport” mode.

    There’s no way to tell if the truck is going too fast since we don’t know the speed limit of the road nor the truck’s actual speed. Regardless that’s a lot of weight you need to stop in a short period of time even if the driver was going under the speed limit.

    My armchair guess is genuine accident caused by poor visibility with the bush in the way and the driver understandably freezing up with a giant ass truck barreling up on them







  • Not only that, periodic wildfires are a critical component in some ecosystems. I live near a an ecosystem that relies on prescribed burns from the Forest Service in order to keep it in shape. Before the FS was a thing our local Indigenous tribes were the ones doing these burns and maintaining the land. Letting it run wild would put us in a similar situation to the Western US, on top of the invasive species outperforming and choking out the native ones.
