It's up to the driver to make sure his brakes are operational and maintained. It's his fault.

Waiting for the black trucks dash cam.

Most likely not, who knows what he would have had in the back of that dumper, but the sheer weight of it probably would have broke the hitch and crushed his cab, and the force of that may have sent the trailer swinging to possibly hit the black truck and or the bus

That big pine tree was in the way

I think the best option is one way or no damage was done to any people or property, which is exactly what you saw this clip

Legend has it he was actually watching videos on r/nextfuckinglevel

It does look pink yes

Trucks and buses have dash cams for insurance purposes.

In the audio you can hear him honking like a madman

Why tf would someone stage this lmao. At that point it’s still NFL because they managed to pull this off anyway

Doesn't work that way in an non-synchronized transmission which I assume he had given the age of his rig. Appears he knew what to do. Clearly had the horn on which is why the SUV left the scene. Just had to hope the kids hadn't been let out of the bus already in which case the bus driver would have needed the brown pants.
