Very stuck dump truck proves to be a challenging rescue for this excavator
We have conflicting thoughts about this video. On one hand, we couldn’t help but root for the operator of the excavator.

Distracted dump truck driver finds ditch a far more costly stopping tool than brakes
It’s simple: distracted driving sucks. It doesn’t matter if it’s a phone call, a text message or email, or even a map, taking your eyes off the road is just a terrible idea.

Jean-Claude Van Damme performs “Epic Split” between two trucks in reverse in viral Volvo ad
