If you’ve seen the movie Final Destination, then this is very similar to that, except it’s real and there are no known actors involved in the action. There’s this truck which is carrying logs in its trailer, and its driver decides that making a left turn at speed would definitely not unsettle the load in any way whatsoever - he was wrong!
The truck is overcome by the very high center of gravity, and it begins to lean, and finally topple over, spilling its surprisingly mobile load of logs all over the road, hitting several cars which were stopped at the traffic lights. No people were injured in the incident, but it just goes to show how quickly things can turn from calm and relaxing, to intense and frightening.
The moral behind this video? Well, if you are driving something which is very top-heavy, and don’t have a lot of experience, try taking corners with the utmost care, and be safe.
