I find it incredible that someone got that on film.

with the number of digital cameras with video capabilities around these days, i'd be surprised if someone DIDNT get it on camera

It's nuts though. You can see the fireball, imagine how that would look in person. You're cruising down the freeway doing a healthy 70-80MPH when all a sudden some semi is on the other side going in the same direction. I assume most would slow down in case something happened. But that would be crazy to see. Thats why I think it would be cool to see a semi go crashing and explode. Obviously it's unfortunate the driver died. But that must have been one sight to see.

Why? He's driving on the wrong side of the road... in this day and age it's completely believable that someone started filming it. If he was on the correct side of the road, I'd be more surprised... |

Again... a semi-truck was driving on the wrong side of the road so they drove beside it and filmed it. I'm sure most people would film a truck going that speed in the wrong lane. And of course they were beside it, they didn't just slow down, or speed up once they saw it, they drove with it to keep filming it... It makes perfect sense that it was recorded by at least one person. |

It would be badass if more people had filmed it. Then we could view the carnage from all different angles. -------------
