WOW, If he flipped that....He would have made the scene 4 times as bad than it already is and could have hurt or even killed a pedestrian or officers on scene or in the rig. Edited October 24, 2006 by NRFDTL11Buff

Holy crap...and here I thought I knew what over aggressive driving looked like. Guess I was wrong!

If he flipped that turck he whould of hurt lot of people i hope they don't

let that guy drive again

Can you say coast through the turn?? As opposed to gunning it??

[DCurtis 1]

That was a pretty close call on that one. That could have made that scene a whole lot worse.

[unleashedff248 3]

Agreed on the poor driving...

...but where's PD with the crowd control??? Granted I'm not sure how things work wherever this was shot, but here in the US PD usually provides some sort of crowd control. Some of these people were way too close to the fire scene and were crowding the streets. Maybe it was early on the dispatch (obviously the fire had been burning for a while), but who knows...

Either way, no excuse for that kind of driving.

... And not paying attention to the other rig in front of you. Duh!

Safe Driving, Turn-out Coats, Helmets and SCBAs...........optional!

[gpdexplorer 46]

[IzzyEng4 427]

(Sorry Steve)

instead of looking at the glass half empty, how about half full- the driver did a nice recovery from rolling the truck over or rear ending the engine. remember, safety is not an accident.

yes I agree it was a nice save, but they shouldnt have made the turn so quickly even if the fire was 4 more blocks away there were so many people standing there they should have been cautious and ready for anything
