Was this a massive case of tailgating? A massive traffic crash has closed a major highway in the United States, with a drone photo showing the extent of the carnage. Multiple people are dead after a car crash involving about 50 vehicles in Missouri, United States. |

Talegating in the fog is a recipe for disaster. |

And another of those car carrying ships bites the sea bed. Cargo ship sinks in stormy Persian Gulf. Crew member missing, officials say. At least this 1 wasn't on fire. |

CCTV captures Stourbridge junction crash Not observing what's ahead and probably speeding I think, certainly going faster that any other vehicles. |

What was a 13 year old doing driving a pickup truck on a 2 lane highway?? He's among the 9 deceased and was not legally old enough to even have a driver's Training Permit. NTSB: 13-year-old drove pickup in Texas crash that killed 9 The truck’s left front tire, which was a spare tire, also blew out before impact, said NTSB Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg. |

He added investigators hoped to retrieve enough information from the vehicle’s recorders to better understand what happened. What many people don't realise is that the ODB data contains a lot of data including speed in addition to the expected engine & transmission data.

They should have gone to Spec Savers before their trip out, not during it.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60806993 (For those outside the UK it is worth noting that both girls are under the minimum driving age so that will probably be added to the list of charges.)

Those things with fans on top of them continue to fall out of the sky. Six injured in L.A. County rescue helicopter crash in Angeles National Forest. |

Those things with fans on top of them continue to fall out of the sky.Hence why some people call them a "close flying formation of spare parts." Grant Darwin NT |

Its nighttime roost being at Long Beach airport and its daytime roost at Barton Flats in the middle of the forest. I wish all injured a speedy recovery. I hope our county was smart enough to pay for hull insurance otherwise my tax bill is going up. |

Video of Flight MU5735, with 132 people onboard, nosedive into the mountains and the subsequent fire, Boeing 737-800. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpIYBtEi6iE |

Ouch!
Second comment is that a nosedive like that for an intact aircraft from cruise altitude is weird... No further guesses until we can get further details.

It's looking more likely that Flight MU5735 might have been a pilot suicide as experts say that the dive was controlled (which 1st leapt into my mind on watching). To my mind in an uncontrolled dive you would've seen parts of the plane ripping off prior to impact, but there was no signs of that happening in that video. |

If they can't read the boxes this one will never be explained. If something mechanical happened before impact the impact will have so scattered the evidence it won't be possible to put it back together. |

Beyond words. The driver responsible for a viral video clip featuring a flying Tesla is a wanted man, with officers offering a cash reward for information leading to his arrest. Los Angeles Police are looking for a driver who crash-landed a Tesla on public streets while performing a stunt in front of on-lookers.Talk about morons. Cheers. |
