Everyone should have a small fire extinguisher in their vehicles. Not necessarily to put out a jet fire but I was behind a small truck at a red light when I noticed the bushes in the center lanes were on fire. The guy in front of me causally got out and reached in the back of his truck for the fire extinguisher and put the fire out. Got back in his truck and the light turned green and life went on as normal. 😮
I knew someone had to have caught it. The pilots did so well up until the very end. I think if they had not landed on top of that truck, they just may have made it. Very unfortunate.
Simply tragic. A valiant effort to save the aircraft by the piloting crew. He just about had it and his right wing into the right shoulder sound wall took their fate away. A miracle to me that 3 folks got out of the aircraft, walking and alive.
As a pilot, all I want to know is how you get all the way from KOSU in Ohio, to having turned final and suddenly have two engines simultaneously flame out. That’s an extremely odd thing to have happen on a sophisticated twin engine jet airplane.
Wow! Both engines and it didn't look like an out of fuel problem. I remember one of the big new jets of the late 90s had a ice in the fuel problem after long high altitude cruises. The ice would plug a fuel filter. It took about 3yrs to figure what happened. It took another incident that wasn't quite as severe to solve case and duplicate the problem.
Both engines quit. They obviously carried lots of fuel... Maybe contaminated fuel or frozen fuel lines... NTSB will find out, soon. The pilots almost made it. They saved the life of three passengers (and some drivers).
Sadly....I'm afraid this one's going to end up being the crew shut both engines off accidentally due to a poorly designed throttle quadrant. There are locks on the levers to prevent them from being pulled all the way back through idle to ignition shutdown....and those locks can be inadvertently bumped while deploying the flaps without being noticed. Then in the normal landing they reduce power to idle but instead of hitting the stops the throttles go all the way back and shut down the engines with no way to restart them in time. Bad design.
@@climbmaintain I know it's never wise to try and decide what happened before the investigation...but I've been pondering on how this could be a maintenance issue. The only way I can imagine a dual engine failure in this airplane is fuel starvation. Admittedly, just because I can't imagine it, doesn't mean I'm right but mechanically, the fuel system is pretty much a closed loop. (I wrote the following reply to an earlier post concerning the fuel pumps.): The challenger (...assuming it's like the CRJ) has two standby pumps and two engine driven pumps. The primary motive flow from the collector (fuel) tanks is created by the high-pressure output of the engine driven pumps (EDPs), which will operate continuously...so long as the engine is running. The standby pumps are turned on, prior to engine start and should act as backups, should something happen to the EDP. There really is no way (that I can think of) that it should have had anything to do with fuel pump issues within the system. The only thing that springs to mind as a possibility, is that the collector tanks lacked enough fuel somehow. They are supplied from the wing tanks by motive flow that is created by the high-pressure output of the main ejectors (venturis). In the CRJ, there can still be up to 450lbs of fuel per wing, before the collector tanks are choaked off. This would account for a post flight fire, after a breakup, even if there wasn't enough fuel on board to supply the engines.
Damn, so close to pulling it off. Hell of a job of piloting just to put it on the highway and give themselves a chance. At least they were able to save 3 lives.
In Peterborough Ontario , a plane crashed several years ago onto the main drag of that city . Stolen plane and ran outta gas , had to crash and didn’t make it ..
Those drivers that still come flying down the highway, do they just not care or will they not be paying attention that others have stopped or slowed ergo hazzard ahead?
As for the people criticizing the pilots for landing on a road with cars, a plane is perfectly allowed to land on the road with cars moving in the same direction. Traffic fatalities is a lot more acceptable than crashing into a residential area. I have a right to take your life when my life is in danger as you're just collateral on the ground and there's nothing you can do about it. Survival comes first during an emergency.
You see a lot of small single engine planes landing successfully on a highway. But seeing how fast this small jet was traveling, I would say that it is extremely extremely difficult for a jet to have a successful landing on a highway.
Odds were stacked against these guys and I’m so sad they’re not here to see what a bunch of fcuking legends they are by putting that thing down and saving their passengers 🥺
having flown with the captain many, many times, it truly breaks my heart to see this. But I know he did everything he could to get the best possible outcome. RIP Ed.
Do you think it was because the didn’t get Prist at OSU? Dual engine flame out coming onto final. They got 350 gallons negative even though they didn’t need it but we all know you’d rather get that 350 than pay the handling fee. The price was the same with or without and they were way too high for way too long. Thoughts?
Again I’m not going to speculate but I can say that the 604 has fuel heaters/exchangers and prist is not necessary. And a lot of places have premixed additive so it gets prist almost every where else it goes. So it’s not normally customary to add prist.
@@roberthollander4522 i'm sorry if its a stupid question, i'm not a pilot, but why didnt they try to go for the grass strip between the lanes? or were they simply unable to make it to there?
Had they NOT impacted that wall the flight crew may have made it out. Like many others have stated- HUGE respect for these two pilots for doing their utmost to get on the ground safely, and they were professional up to the end. Their families and friends should take some comfort in the level of dedication those two displayed! RIP!
I believe the jets wings struck a couple of cars, sending the plane into the wall…Had he had more clear hwy, they’d have probably landed safely without incident.
Lost both engines, still had fuel onboard, I'm presuming they lost their fuel pumps, or power to their fuel pumps? So sorry for the pilots not surviving, but happy their passengers survived.
If it turns out to be pilot error like inadvertently shutting down one or both engines then not so much in the utmost respect department for the pilots. Wait for the NTSB report before throwing around d the accolades

Props to that man who hopped out of his jeep without any hesitation and started running towards the wreckage. Tragic event for those lives lost in this accident.
That’s not fair to say what you said. All others are heroes as well because they had their phones out videoing the whole thing so they can put out things on social media and they can brag saying they were there.
The pilot had no good options but remained calm, cool and professional right to the end, saving the lives of his passengers and people on the ground. RIP sir.
@@BoltRM Not talking about them they knew what they were doing. In the beginning even when the plane first came in over head so many did not react at all.
He had a good option when ordering fuel in Columbus he should have ordered it with anti-icing agent in it. He took off climb above 30,000 feet and the fuel turned to jelly, when he reduced the power on final approach the fuel stopped flowing. Sadly that is what happened when he landed he clearly ordered the wrong fuel on the radio and they even read it back.
Wow. For a plane with horrible glide characteristics it sure looks like he was able to put it pretty close to where he wanted. So sad the brave and skilled crew wasn’t allowed to continue showing their heroism.
It's just pure bad luck that the highway was so busy and the wing hit the wall. It was the spin causing the cockpit to impact the wall that killed the pilots reportedly. It could have been far worse though and that the passengers survived was purely down to the skill of those pilots. RIP and condolances to their frinds and families.
Glide ratio on most jets is actually pretty good they just do so at higher than optimal speeds for off airport emergency landings. A As an example, a Boeing 747 glide ratio is around 17 to 1 compared to a Cessna 172 which is only around 9 to 1.
Without power Challengers fly like a brick. Its a testament to their experience how they even got this thing almost lined up with the highway, at a fairly decent attitude. Unfortunately you see it just carries too much speed and despite them applying full left rudder still crashes into that sidewall. Horrible accident, a miracle 3 people made it out alive. RIP crew.
@@ilaion11 For starters, not all jets (even airliners) can jettison fuel. In addition, as others have stated, this particular plane drops like a brick, without power. They didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything but look for a place to set it down.
I hate to be a pessimist, but I'm a realist. The passengers were extremely lucky! That obviously didn't go as the flight Crew wanted, and they had little control over the matter in the end! Now... If they had made the grass median, I would agree with you!
@@carlwilliams6977 If the median was only grass then perhaps so but if they wanted the grass median I'd think the gear would have been up. Either way the median had the poles and steel wire barrier along it's length to keep cars from crossing into oncoming traffic during an accident so I don't think that was a good option.
Yeah, so unlucky too. If that wall had been maybe another 20 foot to the right the wing wouldn't have hit it. But good job landing like that and not killing anyone in their cars.
Man, they were still trying to fly that thing until the very end, You did a fantastic job guys saving your passengers guys, RIP and Godspeed. your families will be heartbroken but so proud.
I'm not trying to minimize the actions of the pilot in saving the lives of those that survived the crash, but the fact is that he was trying to save his own life as much as he was trying to save anyone else. My condolences to the family and friends of those who perished.
As a pilot, trying to bank that hard onto a road not going your glide direction, at the last second, is a big mistake. The NTSB will figure it all out.
@GT-mn3bx Pretty sure if they had the altitude to fly to the road, turn at a high altitude, line up and land, like a regular traffic pattern, they would have preferred that option. But they didn't have that option with as little time and altitude they had to find a suitable landing area and heading for it. All while sitting there in shock and disbelief of what was happening. The startle factor must have been immense. Many would freeze up IMO. These guys were on point in the heat of the worst battle they ever faced.
Pilot had mad skillz, to come in at that angle after losing both engines, and he actually put it down on the road too! But it's hard to overcome physics.
I noticed that too. I can honestly say,,I wouldn't have been. Sad day for the families. But may they take comfort in the pilots dedication saved the lives of the passengers.
For all those that ask "why didn't he keep turning left?" #1, he had to clear that line of trees on the left. #2, he couldn't really turn any tighter, he almost dragged the left wingtip as is, and a cartwheel would have been most likely fatal to all on board (kudos to the flight attendant, BTW) and possibly people on the road. I know they hit a truck, but I don't know if that's what turned them into the wall, or if the right wingtip hit the wall and turned them into it. So sad for the crew.
Without thrust that particular aircraft is a brick with wings and those pilots fought like like hell to put it down where they did. Rest in peace you both are heroes ❤️
The passengers that survived owe their lives to these highly skilled pilots. The fact they were able to deadstick this aircraft to the ground and line it up on the interstate well enough that their passengers walked away from this is utterly astonishing. My heart goes out to the pilot's families, and the passengers that survived this, truly traumatic, accident !
I know, it makes it all the more tragic that they were so close to pulling it off. Like you said though, the fact that they got so close was what saved the passengers
I know. It’s a gut punch every time I witness how selfish and self-centered many people have become. Gotta just drive on by like it’s nothing. No heart and no respect. RIP brave, hero pilot.
If you have no police,military,ems or medical training you are just in the way. Keep going if possible and steer clear so that professionals can get to the scene. That's the facts. I've seen it countless times and it's always the case.

I witnessed a ch-53 Super Stallion helicopter crash at Camp Lejeune in 1984 and I couldn’t get closer than what seemed like over 100 yards from the crash site due to the extreme intense heat from the fire.

I remember holding my arms in front of my face because it was so hot and trying to get close but I couldn’t get anywhere near close to it. So, so hot. You feel helpless in a situation like that.

You can tell the driver of the black pickup truck at the end was annoyed at the “rubbneckers” and tried to book it past. Maybe he finally felt that heat you describe, saw the plane and understood there was a good reason traffic was slowing/stopping.
@candlercando the black pickup was just another idiot driver that may of caused another wreck by blasting through there after he obviously saw everyone was slowing down.
Almost looks like had they had another couple of second or 2 of glide time to align fully with the road, they might have had a chance to avoid the wall.

@@Capecodham I know for a fact that families of those involved in a tragedy often seek out social media posts concerning the event and might well see such posts. People that post disparaging remarks about such condolences must truly be cold-hearted and uncaring.
@@scottc543 How do you know that for a fact that they look at You Tube posts? Maybe Facebook, where their friends are but not You Tube. You really think someone who lost a brother would say, "let me search for a You Tube video to see if anyone posted condolences", yea right. Here it is all about look at me.
Damn good piloting to get their passengers a chance to survive, uninjured even. Came close to pulling off a fully survivable landing for themselves. Much respect.
Facts, he put that thing down pretty smoothly everything considered there didn't seem to be a massive vertical speed. I think if the freeway was empty everyone would have made it out, it was the collision with the cars and resulting post crash fire that caused it to be deadly probably
What saved the other 3 lives on board was the fact that the pilots landed the aircraft UNDER CONTROL. No stalls, crazy bank angles, or radical maneuvers that would compromise the aircraft's controllability. They flew it all the way down.
They almost made it, so close. Just shows you there skill even when flying a brick. As a retired corporate pilot, I can only imagine what they were doing to try to get it down safely. My sincere condolences go out to the families of those who perished.
Those 2 pilots would probably have said goodbye to their loved ones that morning like we all do but they never came back. This is a really sad watch. RIP to them both.
Their true character shows . These are the most selfish of the selfish . So important , so entitled , the show must go on for them . They don't do very good in fog , blinding snow , dust storms , smoke , ice , etc. They're invincible , why , just look how big and safe their cars and trucks are . False sense of security , and a lack of any concern for anyone - including themselves . The Darwin Award awaits them .
Maybe it's because I'm a retired English Paramedic/high speed motorcycle trauma specialist/Heli pilot, but these vehicle users should be ashamed of themselves. Even now, as a member of the public, I would try and assist in some way without risking life and limb.
@@imageword5576you might consider being less selfish and helping others. Stop making excuses for bad behavior. None of those things were true of those drivers and you know it. They are just selfish like you and @carlisawilliams.
Yes, that was my thoughts, the trucker started slowing immediately and his dash cam video of the cars in front, as I can't see 1 brake light on those cars this should have been a slow down to stopping immediately when you can clearly see a jet trying to land in front of you. What's the matter with people?
The fact that anyone made it out of that plane is a testament to the skill of those two pilots. They did an amazing job limiting casualties, both in the plane and on the ground. They saved lives that day. I hope their families and friends find some comfort in that. 🥺RIP
Finally, the video of the crash itself. The slightly angled approach to the Interstate was going to end up taking the aircraft into the West-side sound barrier (momentum) but there wasn't any other choice. That is where the aircraft was located (East of the Interstate) and the final approach heading (to the Southwest) he was flying to get him to the runway. The slight banking turn just feet before touchdown, showed the pilot flying was doing everything he could to pull off an aligned landing on the Interstate.
That’s what I was thinking also, people drive like idiots these days with no regard for what’s going on around them. It’s a me first society we live in now.
Living in Ireland with a daughter learning to fly in Florida where the crash occurred? Best thing she can do is watch as many crash analysis videos as possible. That has helped me tremendously.
Stop voting for "progressive" idiots and traitorous RINO's that turn around and give the progressive idiots everything they want. One party is evil, the other one is stupid.
Looks like to me most everyone stopped. But even if they didn't what were they supposed to do? They aren't firefighters and have no firefighting equipment.

The primary motive flow from the collector (fuel) tanks is created by the high-pressure output of the engine driven pumps (EDPs), which will operate continuously...so long as the engine is running. The standby pumps are turned on, prior to engine start and should act as backups, should something happen to the EDP. There really is no way (that I can think of) that it should have had anything to do with fuel pump issues within the system. The only thing that springs to mind as a possibility, is that the collector tanks lacked enough fuel somehow. They are supplied from the wing tanks by motive flow that is created by the high-pressure output of the main ejectors (venturis). In the CRJ, there can still be up to 450lbs of fuel per wing, before the collector tanks are choaked off. This would account for a post flight fire, after a breakup, even if there wasn't enough fuel on board to supply the engines.
This looks like some of my emergency landings in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Damn, so close to pulling it off. Hell of a job of piloting just to put it on the highway and give themselves a chance. At least they were able to save 3 lives.
I am horrified at the number of cars that just kept right on driving past the crash.
Wow all the drivers on the road not paying attention. Pilots saved everyone on the ground as well
Not paying attention to what exactly ?

How those passengers walked away from that is mind blowing. Have they determined what caused the engine failures?
It may have been the pilots . . .
@@mmayes9466oh reallyyyyy
1:53: It looks like it came down on the highway between two cars. Can you imagine what the people in those cars were feeling?
Those drivers that still come flying down the highway, do they just not care or will they not be paying attention that others have stopped or slowed ergo hazzard ahead?
As for the people criticizing the pilots for landing on a road with cars, a plane is perfectly allowed to land on the road with cars moving in the same direction. Traffic fatalities is a lot more acceptable than crashing into a residential area. I have a right to take your life when my life is in danger as you're just collateral on the ground and there's nothing you can do about it. Survival comes first during an emergency.
That person driving that black Dodge needs taught a lesson!
Praying for all involved 😢
You see a lot of small single engine planes landing successfully on a highway. But seeing how fast this small jet was traveling, I would say that it is extremely extremely difficult for a jet to have a successful landing on a highway.
Odds were stacked against these guys and I’m so sad they’re not here to see what a bunch of fcuking legends they are by putting that thing down and saving their passengers 🥺
This is pretty conclusive. If the Jet had been able to avoid the Truck the Pilot would have landed it on the highway. Such a tragic loss.
having flown with the captain many, many times, it truly breaks my heart to see this. But I know he did everything he could to get the best possible outcome. RIP Ed.
so, do you have any suspicions to explain both engines going out?
yes but not going to speculate. ill leave it to the NTSB@@swiftadventurer
Do you think it was because the didn’t get Prist at OSU? Dual engine flame out coming onto final. They got 350 gallons negative even though they didn’t need it but we all know you’d rather get that 350 than pay the handling fee. The price was the same with or without and they were way too high for way too long. Thoughts?
Again I’m not going to speculate but I can say that the 604 has fuel heaters/exchangers and prist is not necessary. And a lot of places have premixed additive so it gets prist almost every where else it goes. So it’s not normally customary to add prist.
@@roberthollander4522 i'm sorry if its a stupid question, i'm not a pilot, but why didnt they try to go for the grass strip between the lanes? or were they simply unable to make it to there?
Had they NOT impacted that wall the flight crew may have made it out. Like many others have stated- HUGE respect for these two pilots for doing their utmost to get on the ground safely, and they were professional up to the end. Their families and friends should take some comfort in the level of dedication those two displayed! RIP!
I believe the jets wings struck a couple of cars, sending the plane into the wall…Had he had more clear hwy, they’d have probably landed safely without incident.
Lost both engines, still had fuel onboard, I'm presuming they lost their fuel pumps, or power to their fuel pumps? So sorry for the pilots not surviving, but happy their passengers survived.
If it turns out to be pilot error like inadvertently shutting down one or both engines then not so much in the utmost respect department for the pilots. Wait for the NTSB report before throwing around d the accolades

@@BoltRM Not talking about them they knew what they were doing. In the beginning even when the plane first came in over head so many did not react at all.
He had a good option when ordering fuel in Columbus he should have ordered it with anti-icing agent in it. He took off climb above 30,000 feet and the fuel turned to jelly, when he reduced the power on final approach the fuel stopped flowing. Sadly that is what happened when he landed he clearly ordered the wrong fuel on the radio and they even read it back.
@@brianmoore2508 Troll bot. Do you speak Russian?
Wow. For a plane with horrible glide characteristics it sure looks like he was able to put it pretty close to where he wanted. So sad the brave and skilled crew wasn’t allowed to continue showing their heroism.
cvr/FDR will reveal more
It's just pure bad luck that the highway was so busy and the wing hit the wall. It was the spin causing the cockpit to impact the wall that killed the pilots reportedly. It could have been far worse though and that the passengers survived was purely down to the skill of those pilots. RIP and condolances to their frinds and families.
@@postcardsfromprotestSeconded ❤😔😢
Sad to lose a very experienced pilot and crew. RIP
Glide ratio on most jets is actually pretty good they just do so at higher than optimal speeds for off airport emergency landings. A As an example, a Boeing 747 glide ratio is around 17 to 1 compared to a Cessna 172 which is only around 9 to 1.
Without power Challengers fly like a brick. Its a testament to their experience how they even got this thing almost lined up with the highway, at a fairly decent attitude. Unfortunately you see it just carries too much speed and despite them applying full left rudder still crashes into that sidewall. Horrible accident, a miracle 3 people made it out alive. RIP crew.
@dk2428 nothing like a real positive comment during a horrific tragedy.
Why didn't they dropped the fuel before so it wouldn't catch fire like that? I assume it was the fire that killed the crew, not the impact...
@@ilaion11not possible
Thank you Mr. NON PILOT
@@ilaion11 For starters, not all jets (even airliners) can jettison fuel. In addition, as others have stated, this particular plane drops like a brick, without power. They didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything but look for a place to set it down.
RIP to the flight crew that kept their passengers safe.
I hate to be a pessimist, but I'm a realist. The passengers were extremely lucky! That obviously didn't go as the flight Crew wanted, and they had little control over the matter in the end! Now... If they had made the grass median, I would agree with you!
@@carlwilliams6977 If the median was only grass then perhaps so but if they wanted the grass median I'd think the gear would have been up. Either way the median had the poles and steel wire barrier along it's length to keep cars from crossing into oncoming traffic during an accident so I don't think that was a good option.
Yeah, so unlucky too. If that wall had been maybe another 20 foot to the right the wing wouldn't have hit it. But good job landing like that and not killing anyone in their cars.
Great job by that pilot to bring it in and saved those passengers. Amazing work. RIP
@@carlwilliams6977you should hate being an asshole!! But I guess you just can’t help yourself.
Man, they were still trying to fly that thing until the very end, You did a fantastic job guys saving your passengers guys, RIP and Godspeed. your families will be heartbroken but so proud.
I'm not trying to minimize the actions of the pilot in saving the lives of those that survived the crash, but the fact is that he was trying to save his own life as much as he was trying to save anyone else. My condolences to the family and friends of those who perished.
@@scottc543For sure, you don't stop trying.
@@scottc543 No worries. You nailed it - save yourself, and in turn save the passengers.
As a pilot, trying to bank that hard onto a road not going your glide direction, at the last second, is a big mistake. The NTSB will figure it all out.
@GT-mn3bx Pretty sure if they had the altitude to fly to the road, turn at a high altitude, line up and land, like a regular traffic pattern, they would have preferred that option. But they didn't have that option with as little time and altitude they had to find a suitable landing area and heading for it. All while sitting there in shock and disbelief of what was happening. The startle factor must have been immense. Many would freeze up IMO. These guys were on point in the heat of the worst battle they ever faced.
Pilot had mad skillz, to come in at that angle after losing both engines, and he actually put it down on the road too! But it's hard to overcome physics.
nah too much of a descent angle for a clean landing bro
It was really just that wing catching the wall. Just sliding a bit too far on the highway once the gear collapsed. 😢
@@vlz.matthewAnd how would you keep your descent angle without both engines?
@@Palek83 Watch Hudson River plane landing then come back to this comment

Sad day for the families. But may they take comfort in the pilots dedication saved the lives of the passengers.
Guys like that are a different breed. RIP
For all those that ask "why didn't he keep turning left?" #1, he had to clear that line of trees on the left. #2, he couldn't really turn any tighter, he almost dragged the left wingtip as is, and a cartwheel would have been most likely fatal to all on board (kudos to the flight attendant, BTW) and possibly people on the road. I know they hit a truck, but I don't know if that's what turned them into the wall, or if the right wingtip hit the wall and turned them into it. So sad for the crew.
He DID drag the left wing due to max bank.
@@DarrylLeaning You're right! Just kissed the left wingtip right as the left main touched down.
@@mikebridges20 looks like he hit the wall due to all that speed making it impossible to turn left after the initial touchdown

You can tell the driver of the black pickup truck at the end was annoyed at the “rubbneckers” and tried to book it past. Maybe he finally felt that heat you describe, saw the plane and understood there was a good reason traffic was slowing/stopping.
@candlercando the black pickup was just another idiot driver that may of caused another wreck by blasting through there after he obviously saw everyone was slowing down.
Almost looks like had they had another couple of second or 2 of glide time to align fully with the road, they might have had a chance to avoid the wall.
They were dodging the much slower traffic not aiming for the center of the road.
My heart goes out to the families of these two crew members that did such an outstanding job getting their passengers safely on the ground. No greater gift can a person give than their life to save others. 🙏🙏❤❤

What saved the other 3 lives on board was the fact that the pilots landed the aircraft UNDER CONTROL. No stalls, crazy bank angles, or radical maneuvers that would compromise the aircraft's controllability. They flew it all the way down.
They almost made it, so close. Just shows you there skill even when flying a brick. As a retired corporate pilot, I can only imagine what they were doing to try to get it down safely.

What's the matter with people?
The fact that anyone made it out of that plane is a testament to the skill of those two pilots. They did an amazing job limiting casualties, both in the plane and on the ground. They saved lives that day. I hope their families and friends find some comfort in that. 🥺RIP
Finally, the video of the crash itself. The slightly angled approach to the Interstate was going to end up taking the aircraft into the West-side sound barrier (momentum) but there wasn't any other choice. That is where the aircraft was located (East of the Interstate) and the final approach heading (to the Southwest) he was flying to get him to the runway. The slight banking turn just feet before touchdown, showed the pilot flying was doing everything he could to pull off an aligned landing on the Interstate.
Good analysis.
Actually, he was dodging the vehicles he was quickly overtaking. Still hit one but not 5.
Some drivers not even slowing until they are forced to. Don't they look ahead?
That’s what I was thinking also, people drive like idiots these days with no regard for what’s going on around them. It’s a me first society we live in now.
