I always hate people that automatically yell fake at everything they see on the internet, but I'm gonna have to say this one is fake. What's the point of that big tunnel underneath the bridge? Normally you see that kind of thing around bodies of water, not huge cliffs.

I don't see any indication of water draining down the cliff. I'd think you'd see some kind of change of coloration.

But the light/shadows in the distant hills seem to match the foreground. That's usually a giveaway for a faked image is when the sun shines different in different sections.

I have a serious time believing the truck was going downward and was able to bounce through the air in a different direction as far as it did.

Considering that there is no US HWY 100 near Flagstaff, AZ... I think one might be suspect to the validity of the rest of the claims.. pretty cool look though.


Damn it.. should have checked to see if posts were posted ahead of this.. hmmm I want to go visit that locale.

Ya, well, it's now in the wrong state and embellished/ story changed for entertainment purposes... but it's still one hell of a thing, and really didn't need any b.s.

Quite cool to know it is the real deal...and I just re-read the actual events, the real story is more incredible than the one that got a little lost in translation as it made it's way through the e-mail world...

I guess I was wrong, see how easy it is to say things are fake on the internet? LOL. Very lucky indeed.

Yah, but it says they were going 83 mph. Eighty-Three?

When's the last time any of you knew EXACTLY how fast you were going for anything? If you did, you'd probably say "60-70." But eighty-THREE? I was going 16.749 mph at the mall parking lot today.

This still smells in some ways.

    Zero2Cool (6h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

    packerfanoutwest (6h) : pro bowl
    Zero2Cool (6h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl
    Zero2Cool (6h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.
    packerfanoutwest (6h) : it was always after the SB.....
    beast (16h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago
    beast (16h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?
    packerfanoutwest (16h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii
    TheKanataThrilla (17h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
    Mucky Tundra (17h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
    TheKanataThrilla (17h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (18h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
    Zero2Cool (18h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
    TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
    TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Great throw by Hurts
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
    beast (18h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
    beast (18h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
    packerfanoutwest (18h) : wtf Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
    TheKanataThrilla (18h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
    Mucky Tundra (18h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
    Zero2Cool (19h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
    Zero2Cool (19h) : Carter was 9th overall
    Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
    Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
    TheKanataThrilla (19h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
    TheKanataThrilla (19h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
    packerfanoutwest (19h) : another crap halftime show
    TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
    Martha Careful (19h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : this game is over
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : This might be the kill shot here
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
    TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Philly DL has come to play
    TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
    Mucky Tundra (20h) : ok scratch that
