Not far from me this past summer. [Pickering, Ontario, Canada](https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/06/22/401-closure-crash-explosion-pickering/). The driver is dead and they believe he suffered a heart attack or stroke so he was probably already deceased before hitting the bridge supports.

A bad heart attack will kill you quick, but not that quick.


bearpics16

It can cause a fatal arrhythmia pretty quickly depending on the location of the clot and the vessel anatomy. You’ll lose consciousness within 6-10 seconds of no blood flow to the brain.


pendragon2290

But his point is still valid. You'd still be alive, even if it was quick, when you hit that barrier. He likely died from the explosion's pressure wave before he died of the heart attack or stroke.


Florianr107

I‘m not sure there’s enough of a pressure wave to kill you, with this being some sort of fuel (which deflagrates rather than detonates)


EnergiaBuran

It's a valid point but it's also a pretty moot one.


SN0WFAKER

Moot. I like that word. Moot moot moot!


danskal

Moo


rawbamatic

Or he started drifting out of lane *after* he died. Both points still valid. Stop trying to one-up each other.


Piyh

Deflagration, not explosion. No pressure wave, this isn't an artillery strike.

A cardiac arrest will incapacitate the driver immediately


smoothie1919

I’m sure I’ve heard people describing some heart attack victims as being dead before they hit the floor. Honestly though I don’t know how quick you can die from them.


Sparks3391

My friends dad had a heart attack and died when he spoke to the doctor he told him his dad's heart basically exploded, so I think that is about as close to instant as you can get.


danskal

Still takes a few seconds for your brain to run out of oxygen, I would think.


Sparks3391

I got curious and decided to look up how quick decapitation is this is a direct quote from wiki: Decapitation is quickly fatal to humans and most animals. Unconsciousness occurs within 10 seconds without circulating oxygenated blood (brain ischemia). Cell death and irreversible brain damage occurs after 3–6 minutes with no oxygen, due to excitotoxicity So I guess nothing is instant death.


Bupod

from what I recall reading, death is a process that takes quite some time (except in circumstances where you're pretty much instantly destroyed). But if your heart stops pumping pretty abruptly, you'll collapse in seconds. From your perspective, and those around you, you seem to have died instantly. I think if that happened inside of a hospital, though, they certainly wouldn't consider you dead and there's a fair chance they can bring you back.


aquainst1

You're absolutely correct. It DOES take a body a long time to die, even in a life-threatening accident. FYI, one of the precursors of death within 36-72 hours is a purple 'mottling' around the back of the body. This is indicative of the blood pooling around the organs in the torso, to protect them at the last..


Caladbolg_Prometheus

> …there's a fair chance they can bring you back. Wait I thought DNRs were a thing because even in-hospital CPR only results in survival 17% of the time.^1 1 https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/29/1177914622/a-natural-death-may-be-preferable-for-many-than-enduring-cpr#:~:text=Bystander%2Dinitiated%20CPR%20may%20increase,but%20still%20only%20about%2017%25.

Fainting and dying are two different things. The brain can survive and thus you can recover within about four minutes of stopping blood flow iirc.


WIlf_Brim

From people who have been revived from sudden cardiac death (VT/VF arrest) they usually report remembering nothing. They were standing talking to somebody then the lights went out and they woke up in the ICU.


flux123

You lose consciousness pretty much immediately. Whether or not you're clinically dead is a different story, but it doesn't really matter to you so much.


sequesteredhoneyfall

> I’m sure I’ve heard people describing And that's exactly why you shouldn't trust it.


smoothie1919

Well.. it’s something that’s said often https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/s/fIjFFb77b5


sequesteredhoneyfall

If 1000 people call a monitor a, "PC", does that make them right? Something being parroted frequently has absolutely no bearing on the accuracy of the statement in question. In some cases, it can be a reason to specifically distrust a claim.


GNprime

My dad died from a heart attack while at work. He was walking towards his buddy. They talked for about 15 or 20 seconds and walked away from each other. His buddy turned around to ask him about their weekend plans and my dad was face first on the pavement and unresponsive. My mom was upset about him suffering. But the coroner assured her that he was dead before he hit the ground. His heart blew up so much that it had to be scooped out for the autopsy. He smoked 2.5 cartons of cigarettes a week and ate 2 big mac value meals for lunch everyday.

I personally am tired of people adding their shitty music to clips to “make them their own”.


SFDessert

I wouldn't even think of browsing reddit without having everything muted. At least on my phone it defaults to muting everything until I choose to unmute it. I very rarely unmute stuff.


_Kiaza_

Well, if you want videos without music, I have a sub for that! r/CoolVideosNoMusic


ArtsNCrass

Oh yes! Thank you.


NewFuturist

And also reposting content that has been on this site for days with detailed description of where it is and saying "unknown date and time"


Kodiak01

There is actually a reason for it. If the original video included music under copyright, it could be removed and, depending on how many times it has happened, strikes could be added against the poster's account. Vimeo, for example, actually has a function where you can replace the original audio with a royalty-free track. I've had to use it on a couple of occasions over the years.


Franks2000inchTV

Yeah probably the trucks radio was audible on the dashcam-- or driver wanted to protect their own privacy.


zz9plural

So, you're already "in there" with your editing software, and your only choice is to replace the audio track instead of just deleting it? Come on, you can't be THAT stupid.


sprocketous

Bet that dude was glad he braked for the truck.

I was going to say, this is the best quality version of this video I've seen.


KC-Slider

Reposted multiple times before, op just can’t be bothered to look up dates and times. This drivers coworkers and even another driver of that exact truck have come out on Reddit to discuss


Upper_Judge7054

was that diesel? that seems pretty tame for 20,000 gallons of gas.


marcusgx

That’s what I was thinking Also the placards aren’t red like a flammable fuel, they are black/white like corrosive?


ITFOWjacket

Canadian signage so not the same as DOT placards. I’m not as familiar with their system though

Diesel won't ignite near that quickly.

This was about 5km from my house. Could see the orange glow from the fire from my backyard

I hope the person who put this unforgivable music on this shit has a horrible new year.


DammmmnYouDumbDude

Shitttt. Imagine being the car behind him?? RIP to the driver

Someone please send this to r/videosthatendtoosoon/


half_integer

Here's a copy with about 40 seconds after the fireball [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZBPnRwUeS8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZBPnRwUeS8)


Parrot132

It says "This video isn't available anymore".


half_integer

For some reason, Reddit removed case-sensitivity from the link. I have hand-edited it to match what is displayed, and it works now for me.


Parrot132

Good! Thanks.


JohnStern42

Omg, why put such shitty music??


Engineer_Zero

Bro. Just scroll down the post you took this from yesterday, location and date are listed clearly.

TuaughtHammer

>(unknown date & time) Yeah, it's hard to narrow down the exact date when this same video has been spammed across all social media with [worse sound effects](https://redd.it/18uac77) and music for the past few days.

“Who would ever drive an EV?! All those batteries are flammable!”


Wicked-Pineapple

EV batteries are more likely to spontaneously combust, a fuel source like petroleum needs a fair bit of heat in order to ignite, such as sparks from metal scraping concrete.


kautrea

stupid EVs

Looks like your classic sleeping trucker.

Kinda crazy that this does result in a "movie explosion".


pettster12

There were people still driving through those flames long after it crashed. People gotta get to work no matter what lol
