Yes, I did. But I didn’t misspell “ask.”
Did you understand the OP or any other post in the thread?
Scary, and I know how that can happen. I once rolled a car while off to visit my great-aunt, and one of the injuries I suffered was a bruise on my head from a loaf of really hard bread that I had baked for her as a gift. I was just glad I hadn’t brought her a bottle of wine. 
“Extreme inaccuracy”? There’s a picture of a small axe sticking through a windshield. How is that inaccurate?
Based on the picture, I imagine it’s also possible that the landscaper used the axe to weight down a tarp and the axe was launched backwards when wind hit the tarp. So without having actually seen the accident, it seems silly to start being skeptical about the reporting.
Also available in body spray, shower gel, and deodorant products.
It is called a leaking load. Anything and everything in the back of a truck is the driver’s responsibility. I got a ticket once when a portable toilet bounced off the back of my truck.
What was that passenger thinking!?!
To have that happen to you and not get your face in the picture for bragging rights?
Opportunities don’t come around like that every day.
You’re all wrong.
It’s a Bison!
Again, IMO, not a axe. A hatchet.
The tool could not have made that hole and struck downward & impaled itself in that manner just from bouncing off a truck and landing on the car. There would not be enough relative speed difference for it to do that.
It had to be spinning and requires it hitting something like the ground that would impart that much spinning motion so that it could impale the windshield like that.
So either the car was too close for the speed they were both going, it was farther back so that the tool could have bounced off the road in such a way to have that kind of spin, etc…
All IMO.
I know I am foolish to think that the media has responsibility to get it right, to tell the truth, to proof read and for the editors to have not only a brain but to use it in editing. How silly of me.
IMO, much of what was published make as little sense as 99% of the reporting of aircraft accidents. This has been my experience from first hand on being at the scene and I know what I told the media guys and watched them write it down. It still comes out as totally changed and in no way accurate.
If you think this one was fine. This is the second time I have explained my stance on this so you seem to not have read the thread and that, for me, negates anything else you can say in this thread to me.
I have no problem with your opinion but in here, I have no obligation to keep answering the same thing.
Call me wrong or whatever. :rolleyes:
Have a good day.
DE-odorant? Not from what I have heard.
A hatchet is a specialized axe. The distinction is important. I expect a tool used in one hand if I ask someone to borrow a hatchet. Axes can be single bit or double bit. A double bit axe has a long handle and requires a double hand grip. I spent too many years using these tools clearing brush. I’m way too familiar with them. 
Its like a truck is a type of automobile. A car is different from a truck. Different appearance and a different purpose.
That photo in the car is amazing. That passenger was so lucky.
Anyone else get nervous following log trucks? I’ve been known to pull off the road for a soda or get gas just to let those things get ahead of me. I’ve always had a fear of the logs spilling onto the road. Same thing with any pickup truck with unsecured crap just lying in the back. Even a flying coke bottle can do damage.
Just cause 50,000 French men do it does not make it right.
Wait a sec. That doesn’t even make sense. “Hatchet” is French to begin with. I swear, this language crap makes me want to tomahawk somebody’s windshield.*
In case any Brits are reading, a windshield* is the correct English for a “windscreen.”
I don’t even understand what that’s supposed to mean.
If you keep talking about dropping logs and passing unsecured crap, I’m going to worry about you having an accident of one sort or another. :eek:
Yeah - then you’d have had stitches and a DUI charge once the policeman got a whiff of the car :D.
Regardless of the true nature of the hardware involved - ax(e), hatchet, tomahawk, or whatever - it could have done some pretty serious damage if it had hit differently. Even a plain old rock: A simple rock dropped from 15 feet overhead can be lethal.
Cite cite. While the physics of a dropped rock is slightly different (its horizontal velocity is zero, meaning the velocity difference from the car is 65 mph, and the axe’s velocity relative to the car’s is close to zero), it doesn’t seem like something to goof around with.
I had my windshield ruined by what was probably a soft drink can. Velocity relative to my car was probably within 10 mph either way.
I’d guess that something pointy - like a garden stake - might have gone right through the windshield like a harpoon :(.
The driver of the truck will likely face civil penalties - at the very least, for the damage to the car. Hopefully he’s scared into being more careful in the future.
I’ve been behind pickups with loose garbage in the bed. Every once in a while something will fly out littering the road. I definitely drop way back and give them plenty of space. I’ll call the cops if the pickup has a lot of loose stuff littering the road.
The article says $200 fine. Seems pretty light to some of us.
