"djcubez"I always hate people that automatically yell fake at everything they see on the internet, but I'm gonna have to say this one is fake. What's the point of that big tunnel underneath the bridge? Normally you see that kind of thing around bodies of water, not huge cliffs.
I don't see any indication of water draining down the cliff. I'd think you'd see some kind of change of coloration.
But the light/shadows in the distant hills seem to match the foreground. That's usually a giveaway for a faked image is when the sun shines different in different sections.
I have a serious time believing the truck was going downward and was able to bounce through the air in a different direction as far as it did.

Considering that there is no US HWY 100 near Flagstaff, AZ... I think one might be suspect to the validity of the rest of the claims.. pretty cool look though.
Damn it.. should have checked to see if posts were posted ahead of this.. hmmm I want to go visit that locale.

Ya, well, it's now in the wrong state and embellished/ story changed for entertainment purposes... but it's still one hell of a thing, and really didn't need any b.s.
Quite cool to know it is the real deal...and I just re-read the actual events, the real story is more incredible than the one that got a little lost in translation as it made it's way through the e-mail world...

I guess I was wrong, see how easy it is to say things are fake on the internet? LOL. Very lucky indeed.

Yah, but it says they were going 83 mph. Eighty-Three?
When's the last time any of you knew EXACTLY how fast you were going for anything? If you did, you'd probably say "60-70." But eighty-THREE? I was going 16.749 mph at the mall parking lot today.
This still smells in some ways.
