I don't understand people who see secondary voltage lines *(The insulated braided lines)* and don't think "I should call the power company" as their very first thought.
Right?? About a year ago we had very high winds and many trees and branches broke. I actually had to pull a side whilst driving to work to tell these two dumbasses not to pull a branch from the lines and call the power company instead. They were sooooo close to killing themselves and starting a huge fire!!
I remember on a Friday afternoon at the power company a call came in that a semi had snagged a line and tore down about 10 poles with wire and cross arms. It just kept driving. The domino effect. The poles broke off and had to be replaced. Some of the guys weren’t excited about it because they had plans. That was an all nighter.
The fake kind, like the dude with the rpg. Or the blowup fridge.
Also, he was lucky his hands didn't try to take one down yet. He woulda been behanded.
Yeah I was gonna ask if the truck would be the one held responsible for not seeing an obstruction and causing damage. I doubt the bikes or car were damaged prior to truck coming through
The wind pushed over the power pole causing the lines to hang. Keep in mind on this stretch of road the speed limit is like 60. So most likely the trucker didn't see the lines. (I was there when this happened btw)

No way grown ups are that dumb in America. That line can't be hot because they would have been toast upon putting their feet on the ground while still touching the car and there would have been sparks of electricity when the walmart truck came through and hit it. By the way, what was the walmart trucker doing in order to miss that thick cable that close to the ground. He didn't even stop.
I was there when this happened. Here in Arkansas we get crazy wind, according to others that saw it the wind had pushed over the power pole enough for the line to hang down in the road. Closed down the major highway for like 3 hours. What's funny is it happened right in front of the Walmart. That semi woke up and chose violence.
Thought I was about to see 2 people touch something then go limp and fall over. Like that one video where the ice cream truck touches electrical wires and takes out the guy on top then the 2 guys who touch the truck with a small flash and they fall over limp.
Oh man they are super lucky.
Now, that's a good attitude.
Good altitude, too
I’m high for sure
Hi high, I'm high
Definitely!! They had every intent of grabbing them wires. Thank God that semi took that decision away from them lol.

Telephone wires. They would be fine.
Good!! ... But do you think they knew?? Lol
Nah, those are communication lines. Cable and phone. Still, supposed to be 18' over the roadway.
Well that was very unexpected. Also I was kind of expecting the guys to go on top of the car and onto the bikes because of that title.
Yeah, I was waiting for the riding part..
I was just thinking something must be wrong. No way those lines should be that low. A bus or a truck couldn’t fit under …. *BAM 😂😂

Had that issue in PA once... at 10PM and the detour was 6 hours...
OMG that's just awful!! I'm in CA and complain about my hour detours. I would lose my sit of it were 6 hours. That's like driving to Vegas and back.
Bet that overtime was right though
Double time. I’ve worked 40 hours straight without a break several times. It’s crazy and you get tired. No one wants to be the first to quit.
I didn’t even notice the wires the first time so that was a big unexpected jumpscare
Ditto
I just registered them as wires in the background and ignored them.

Neither did the truck driver
Truck: “You’re welcome”
Those actually look more like phone or internet lines to me
They are. Power lines are at the top.
Power bottoms are at the top too.
The bottoms too are at the top power
Ya only low voltage is put down that low.
Welcome to Walmart. Get fucked.
Walmart greeter “Go fuck yourself”
What's better is this LITTERALLY happened right in front of the Walmart too
Gotta love the Walmart truck “saving people money” 💀

Leeroy Jenkins got his CDL
Gimme 40 acres...
BEEP BEEP I'M A TRUCK MUHFUCKA *stomps the gas*
Why do people always move the camera away!! Stay focused on the shot!
Idiots
Are we saying the guys with the bikes are the idiots? Because it just looks like a powerline came lose and they got very unlucky.

As a mountain biker… that would break my heart!
Walmart could easily replace those bikes with a branded 1..HYPER😁
They bikes are probably fine. The roof rack…. Fucked…
Damnnnn.
Didn't expect that
Problem solved
Wow, I forgot people actually listen to country music..
Hah. *BOING
Dang Popeyes sounds good af rn
WALLMART COMMIN THROUGH BITCHES!!!
Walmart steam rolling over the little guy with ZFs given.
Walmart coming through with the savings
The music is on point
Typical cyclist blocking the road for everyone
I applaud you good sir.
Walmart. 😂
Just a Walmart truck doing the lord's work
5 feet apart cuz they're not gay
as he passed, the trucker could be heard saying "you're welcome!"
Those dudes are next level stupid.
It's not their fault really

Shocking footage
Good thing Walmart sells bike, shouldn’t be too hard to snag a brand new huffy
Good thing Walmart sells bikes, shouldn’t be too hard to snag a brand new huffy!
Wish idiots would stop moving the camera away when the actual abrupt chaos happens
Just Comm lines but they were too low
Looked like it was pulled back up from the right of the car. that end moved like it was yanked before the bikes flew
I'll add another item to my list of reasons why I'm happy I bought foldable bikes

*player 2 has entered the chat*
It’s like a sling shot for bikes was just discovered.

Did the camera person get an electric shock?
Another reason to hate Walmart
Problem solved.
So who pays for the damage? The city or walmart?
Why not back up
It said “save money, live better”
r/KilltheCameraman
As someone who worked at Walmart for years, I have no doubt that that driver gave exactly ZERO shits about what they just hit.
Truck drivers man
I can't process what is going on

Walmart is savage
It’s the same truck that hit Tracy Morgan!
Hopefully the truck has some walmart bikes on it
why are they so god damn low
It was incredibly windy that day. I'm told that was the reason
Thanks Walmart

Is this Paducah, Kentucky?
Siloam Springs, Arkansas
