For some reason I thought that was a really big log on its way to collide with the truck from the side

My Dad’s friend in college had this happen, except with a plumbing truck and pipe, and it decapitated his wife and daughter.

How is he doing now? That’s a hell of a hole to climb out of. I wouldn’t even know where to begin…

I always wondered why he wouldn’t sit behind those trucks, then one year he finally told me. Really tragic. I don’t know how his friend actually overcame that, or if he did, they fell out of touch, but that would ruin me. On so many levels. I don’t know that I would drive a car again, at the same time, I live in the US, how do you not? lol but that’s a rant for another day.

The final destination scene was one thing but do you all remember that real video where it was I think a brick that just obliterates one of the occupants, you don’t see much but you hear the reaction from the other passenger and it fucking haunts you for years.
Yes I saw that one. And the 2x4 one. The 2x4 one I think they live but it came really close

The cultural penetration of this scene has become visible when on the highway and you see a truck carrying logs and how everyone avoids being directly behind it.

maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It’s a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

I never did fully trust those hay trucks. Glad that wasn’t unjustified

Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.

The opening setpieces were always so well done in those first three movies

What movies?
- LainTrain ( @LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 10•11 hours ago
Final Destination? Darn I didn’t know this place had underage people in it.
Either way though check 1, 2 and 3 out, they’re not high brow masterpieces or anything, but decent 2000s blockbusters, especially if you’re someone that goes on or around planes, rollercoasters and subways a lot and makes regular visits to the dentist.

Noooo, 20 years ago was the 80s!! /s
Still considered a child in America at 21 I think so there’s a that

I’m 19. And I don’t watch movies and series at all and am not American, so maybe that’s the reason why I haven’t seen this before.
- LainTrain ( @LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•7 hours ago
Wild. I’m not American but I don’t think watching movies and shows is an exclusively American thing.
Well, welcome to the world Gen Alpha, it’s a bit shit.
- Smorty [she/her] ( @Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) Fulfulde3•7 hours ago
Oh, I know, I wasn’t trying to be rude. I didn’t want to connect being American an watching movies, I just am not American, and also don’t watch movies (Two independent statements). So that second one especially makes me less likely to have seen the movies.
Alsoy eyyyy, I’m not gen alpha! I don’t even watch tiktok, I’m just on Lemmy and mastodon…
