Tiktok pushes the most degenerate and self-destructive stuff to the top HERE while in China it is completely geared towards academics, masculinity and patriotism to the state. I guess it's part of that 5th generation warfare I've been hearing about. I think here in the US we are currently at .5 generation warfare, going back to zero.
not at all surprised by this. a certain political figure tried to ban tik tok. too bad he was not successful.

The other 18 wheeler is at fault. Why is he stopped in the middle of the lane instead of the shoulder?

LOL!
I don't think the semi is stopped. I had to watch it a couple of times, but I'm pretty sure that you can see his wheels turning; particularly the front-left, just as the other truck passes him. He might have been going dead-slow, but I don't think that he's stopped.

Either way, the Dodge had time to see the obstacle and make the appropriate choice, which sure as hell wasn't cutting off another semi.

I watched it several times myself. Hard to tell on a small screen. I was also checking to see if his 4 ways was on. That would have given the pickup driver a warning well in advance.

the dodge driver should have been going at a safe enough speed and distance from the tractor trailer to stop or avoid the crash. i would have hit the ditch if possible... well ok ill be honest i would have been standing on brakes with both feet and praying for the ditch and not one of the trucks lol.

Also, I hope no one was in that porta potty.

Semi crossing medium into oncoming traffic
This is EXACTLY what happened to my Nephew and his wife travelling on I-81 south in Virginia. F350 gulling a large long horse trailer blew a tire and crossed the medium hitting them head on. Both badly broken up. His wife very nearly died and was hospitalized with a shattered pelvis, ribs, legs, and one arm broken. She was belted in with her feet on the dash... sleeping. They had to cut them both out of the car. Took her over a year and countless operations, to recover, and 5 years on she told me she is in constant pain. They were 25 years old when it happened.

It changed their lives forever.

Chinese honor students are treated like sports heroes are here in the USA. It is very competitive, it is up or out, and during testing days the streets around the schools are blocked to maintain quiet.

China is graduating more REAL honor students than the US has students! I have managed them while in Lenovo. Very industrious, honest, and dedicated employees. First Generation PhDs right off the farm. They don't take it for granted.

The USA is in deep demographic trouble.

Great minds think alike! I am watching this same video on my tv and was going to share it on r5g. That raptor is barely even scrap worthy now... Tanker held up like a battleship. no poof hardly any leaks. Folks in the Ford - RIP. I saw the tank said Coastal, same group that runs in my area too.

You know that Raptor was going at a high rate of speed in order to get wedged in like that. Almost came out the other side.

You can see the tanker was in the middle of a turn. Not sure what the driver of the Raptor was thinking. I'm guessing he reached the 2nd traffic light before it turned green. Probably while the tanker was going through a yellow light.

There is piping underneath the tanker. Some fuel leaked for sure. Strange that it didn't go poof.

Passenger survived. Not the driver.

I used to work for Coastal 16 years ago. I know I'll have something to talk about when I see them at the loading rack.

He didn't quite win the award but it most certainly was not for lack of trying...

TLDR: Hey ya'll watch this. Man sneaks up on bear and kicks it. Regrets decision.
