We only get frost heaves in the road.

Guess a surprise jump is better than if it raised the other way and you got a surprise wall.

I've had worse unexpected jumps and I haven't gone veering off the road...

Yeah, but were you drinking coffee, texting and smoking when you jumped?

One of the highways buckled in Minneapolis yesterday (99 degree high temperature) but as far as I know the Duke boys didn't give it a try.

We had a section do that between Holland and Zeeland a couple weeks ago..

Why can't people behind the camera actually follow the action?

If nobody else had taken it that fast or otherwise done anything remarkable, why was someone shooting video of it?

Did the phrase "hey, watch this!" pass between driver and videographer sometime before blast-off?

I wish I could see the signage. I'm curious about how much warning the driver blew off or missed prior to becoming an Involuntary Flying Object.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Not only follow the action but also hold the camera somewhat level.

Did they NOT notice the sign?

Ten bucks says they're charging admission on that overpass now.

This is the answer to your question on the YouTube posting. "She thought she was taking a picture, and didn't realize she had the phone set on video."

So they can't work a camera or hold it properly. Might as well just delete the video and learn how to use a camera.

Deleted post, someone already mentioned it was a phone.
