1. I always wonder why someone was recording this in the first place.

Maybe it was from a security camera that records all day, but the video quality almost seems too good.

As an aside, that looks like it could be the Burke-Gilman trail here in Seattle, but there's no information on the youtube link.

4. I think the guy that records those videos...

...just happened to be working in an office that's right next to the Can Opener, so he set up his webcam in his window.

2. I wonder if the driver was on the phone with his boss at the time.

They could both have some 'splainin to do.

3. The website provides the background

If I recall, it's an architects office that started to do the videos after they observed numerous impacts. The website has scores of these, from two angles. You hate to laugh, but they're a hoot.

5. This is from Durham NC

6. Sad but hilarious.

I've been to the web site. I think it was because someone on DU posted about it long ago.

Hopefully, the driver was not hurt.

Thanks for sharing.
