You guys notice on the second view how the truck that drove past when the fireball went, and hit his truck, pulled over to the side of the road right after passing by?

He had to jump out of his truck and check his trousers!!

Good find!!

I'd bet that you'd be checking your trousers too if you were driving that truck! i know i would be, right after my life finished flashing before my eyes....

I recieved this from ChiefHAC in an email and thought it went with this topic.

Remember the Basics:

Always work in pairs

Stay on your knees and probe ahead before you go

Learn how to control panicHave a foolproof accountability system

Have somebody talk to the owner/occupants to learn of hazards inside the structure

Always expect the unexpected

Carry a life raft in your pocket at all times…..
