Multi-vehicle accident and explosion on US 41
An unlicensed driver, riding an off-road dirt bike with no lights was sideswiped and tossed off his bike. The Ford pickup that passed me, ran over the dirt bike that lay in the highway. The bike exploded, catching the pickup truck on fire. The man with the flashlight had first hit the motorcycle. The pickup driver didn't see it laying in the road before driving over it, puncturing the gas tank and causing the explosion. I pulled forward from where I had initially stopped because all I could smell was raw gasoline.
This occurred on US 41 in the southbound lanes, south of Farmersburg Indiana. The dirt bike rider was not severely injured. No other persons were injured. The dirt bike rider was a minor. The Sullivan County (Indiana) Sheriff's Department is in charge of the investigation.

Car pulled directly out in front of my tractor-trailer.

While driving south on Illinois State Highway 17, south of Beecher, this driver decides to pull out in front of me. Thankfully there was no oncoming traffic or this may very well have ended as a fatal accident. While passing the car, I could see the driver looking down at his phone. I hope he realizes just how close he came to being a statistic.
Tennessee thunderstorm seen from Indiana - October 2014
Переглядів 438 років тому
I was driving west on Interstate 64 in Indiana and kept seeing this very active thunderstorm off to my left. I finally stopped at an exit ramp near Holland Indiana to take video of the storm. The storm was over 150 miles away, between Nashville and Jackson, Tennessee, around 2 a.m. Central Time on October 8, 2014. Sorry for the excess noise of the zoom.

Bald Eagle near its nest
Переглядів 328 років тому
This bald eagle was sitting in a sycamore tree over a creek in southern Sullivan County, Indiana on April 10, 2016. It's nest is nearby where two fledglings aren't quite ready to fly. I'm not sure if this was the male or female parent, but one is always watching the nest. Please excuse the shakiness of the video. I had planned on taking still shots only but this eagle was sitting about 100 feet...
Flatbed Truck hits Jeep

I caught this on my dash cam at the intersection of 13th Street and Washington in Terre Haute, Indiana on 15 November 2013 at 2:09pm. Sorry, I had forgotten to change the time after DST expired. The light was red for 13th and green on Washington. The Jeep was crossing 13th when the truck driver started to turn right on red - apparently not paying attention to traffic around him. I'm not sure of...

    Thanks for the information in the description. I was seriously wondering what its dimensions and bucket size was. That is an impressive, good looking, and I would figure, well maintained machine. Of course, this comment is 12 years later.

  • @larrywanders
    @larrywanders 12 років тому

    @Manjula009 It depends on how far the machine must be moved. In this instance it "walked" under its own power. There are two 'feet' underneath that move the drag line backwards. The bucket is placed on the ground, then one foot plate is raised and moved back (see video at 0:57). The behemoth walks at about .25 miles per hour or .4km/h

    • @arealassassin

      Hey Larry, could you please describe in more detail how the bucket is treated during a walk- is it placed on the ground for each "step", or dragged, or what? That is one aspect of a dragline walk that is never portrayed. Thanks.

    @Santaclausemikey Under our Constitution, a roll call vote (each Senator called name by name) must be held if demanded by one-fifth of a quorum of Senators present, a minimum of 11. In this instance, the roll call vote was demanded to affirm each Senator's vote was recorded and present to cast their vote.

    Congress, both the House and Senate, along with President Obama ignore the wishes of the American people. Over 1/2 of the citizens want no part of this "reform".
