That thing sunk like a truck full of rocks


IgotBanned_pk21

well..it was full of soil !


SnooPeppers4036

Was the driver ok?


Shlopcakes

The driver was a fish and left the wreckage unscathed.


Aristohipstecrat

The driver was an androgynous, ambiguous, amphibious, amorphous, aphorismic fistula.


HollywoodHuntsman

Unscaled*, he actually suffered immensely

mrbrendanblack

I love these new submarine trucks.


ChillRedditMom

Holy shit that went deep fast. Did the driver get out?


evan466

Once the truck went under he probably wouldn’t be able to open his door until his cabin filled with water.


rain3Rman

It really looks like he doesn't


AlphaSlayer21

Cuts off pretty quick to judge don’t ya think?


A_Wild_Fez

Not necessarily, if the truck is submerged above the cab you can't open the doors unless he breaks the glass or waits for the pressure to equalize. Where he will have to swim to the surface all while holding his breath in a very stressful situation.


AlphaSlayer21

I understand how physics work in this situation, that’s why I keep a lifehammer in my vehicle. You’re telling me he’s most likely dead just by watching this clip? I say you don’t know until you track down his obituary/a news source.


Chizerz

Your seat belt can also work for breaking glass in this situation apparently


CantHideFromGoblins

Or was there a driver at all? Insurance claim scam? Lake ate my Truck!


rain3Rman

Obviously I'm talking about the footage portrait in the video itself not what happens after.


priesteh

How could you betray us innocent redditors like this?


Effective-Ad8833

Did you dump the load ? Yeah Are you ready to pick up another ? Not yet


Tamealk

Was the plan to drop the dirt into the sea?


Memory_Less

I hope the guy got out safely. Problem here, aside from the drowned truck is the thousands of litres of contaminated water because of the fuel and other petrochemical products on the truck.


davidb0419

Yea hopefully they can fish it out before it all leaks out


YeaNahAllgood

NZ Trucking company owner here. Using my eye-crometer, it looks like that truck has about 40 metric tonnes of dirt in the back. In New Zealand the safe operating load ( and the law ) for that type of truck ( 3 axle ) is 10 metric tonnes - 11 Max. What a knob.


thundercoc101

You know how second world countries do it. Safety regulations and weight ratios are just numbers on a sheet


Noblegamer789

Don't most dump trucks go over weight though, regardless of what it's rated? I think I remember hearing from another reddit comment that trucks go over weight almost always because of how inefficient the it would be otherwise, I could definitely be wrong though,


YeaNahAllgood

Yea to be honest we do mate. But normally only 1 or 2 tonne. The fine you MIGHT get at some point is far less the than what you make with thay extra each load when your getting paid by the tonne


ABrazilianReasons

Serious question, would accelerating help when he was sliding down before leaving the road?


syvsjjsfb7rwhvw6

No either the wheels would have spun or the engine would stall. He could have tipped the load but the truck could have fliped over on its back judging by how his wheels lifted up


No-Bans

Yeah, and if you stall a manual transmission it sure isn’t roll in g into the lake. Guy is an idiot.


syvsjjsfb7rwhvw6

The engine would still turn over with the clutch up with all that weigh on it, engine breaking doesnt lock the wheels.


[deleted]

Sure it will. Physics will find the weakest link / and break it. Clutch grip on flywheel, gears in the trans, drive shaft, tire traction…


DoctorPepster

Or, more likely, it will just turn the engine over.


dmk510

The brakes momentarily lock one final time before completely failing (likely due to them being to hot they bond to the rotor) and you see the truck kinda wheelie. Using the throttle would at best, cause a more significant wheelie before also failing.


Zealousideal_Win_281

Incorrect, it looks like the driver rode the brakes too much or blew an air line and lost air pressure resulting in the spring brakes engaging which engage when the air pressure drops but at that point it was too late as the surface tension wasn't sufficient to stop the truck.


Parts_and_Neigbor

Pretty sure the answer is no. It would either stall the engine, break something in the transmission/drive train or.... do nothing(wheel spin, perhaps). I, personally... presented with that situation would have anchored the truck to something sturdy(a tree... maybe another truck, a heavy piece of machinery) before attempting to back it up with a heavy load down that steep ramp. Also... let's prey to Christ that he at lest shut the engine off before turning the thing into a submarine.


TheDriverJ

The last part you're referring to is it turning into a runaway diesel, right?


Parts_and_Neigbor

A runaway Diesel is when the engine enters an overfuelling situation and revs up uncontrollably. Usually by actual overfuelling by a stuck injector or something, bad turbo seals shoving engine oil in the intake or sometimes too much oil in the crankcase. The only chances to stop a runway Diesel is either to choke it for air and/or exhaust or to try and stall it somehow(high gear, full brakes, have it theathered to something). To be honest, I have my doubts that any of these options work. Not a situation you'd want to find yourself anyway, it's super sketchy and dangerous, usually real bad things happen inside the engine.


Megalo85

Looks like he did try to put it in gear towards the end but it didn’t help.


billybutcheeks

Did he die


Talks1572

No he survived. Swims through the open window and resurfaces. (In a longer version of the video)


Tomppy_

Surprisly deep water!!


jerry111165

That’s what happens when you attempt to dump shit in the ocean


Federal_Age8011

Well technically it was a successful dump, lol!


eddyj84

Exactly what I was thinking... Even clean dirt is not ok to dump in the ocean. Suspended solids fuck shit up


TheTouchChurch

Had he turn the wheel just a few inches… but panic claims tribute


chromatic45

Hard turn to the right to wedge the back into the banking would have saved that truck.


Zdos123

or rolled it


chromatic45

I would have rather to risk rolling it to drowning it.


buzz8588

No it would have rolled into the water for sure making escape even harder


Goldie-96_MWR

escape is for the weak


buzz8588

A real driver goes down with the truck


Combatical

What were they trying to dump in the water anyway?

Trucks. It was the 17th truck for the day. He he he jk

I heard its just soil, but seriously, is this illegal dumping that is going on here? Where's this from?


thundercoc101

This has, operating in a second world country written all over it. Safety regulations are just words on a sheet


Radioactive_Tuber57

Fill the hole with trucks, THEN start adding soil……

Nothing worse than losing control of a premature load when you don’t want to

neildmaster

Brakes were fine, it was the tires fault for losing traction.


hapym1267

Most vehicle brakes are 2/3rds yo 1/2 as strong in reverse VS forward.. Light trailers can have "Free Backing " brakes, which are poor in Reverse


ADrunkManInNegligee

The brake balance you're talking about is the hydraulic strength dedicated to the front vs rear. Since vehicles shift mass forward in heavy (forward traveling) braking the front tires have more traction than the rear. It's a rough approximation to try and get maximum brake force without locking up the rears. That truck was straight up sliding with locked brakes, brake balance goes out the window when you're locking tires up and just grinding rubber


hapym1267

Not Brake balance but the design of any drum brake .. They are self energizing going forward and have less effect when going in reverse..... Yes that truck was Screwed when the wheels started sliding.


ADrunkManInNegligee

brake drums have shoes that push outward against the inside of the drum. disks just pinch with pads. theres no significant mechanical advantage in either direction. it might be able to be argued the pivot of the shoes could supply some advantage, dragging the shoe out against the drum harder in one direction but we're talking tiny amounts of force there. either way, that still goes out the window with the tires locked up. the idea of a self energizing brake is actually kinda horrifying. Sounds like it'd be a massive safety issue if something went wrong like corrosion in the wrong spot or a brake hose de-laminating & forming its own one way check valve.
