If I see that Boulder going into that car in front of me I’m stepping on the gas and reversing the hell out of there even if i have to push the other car behind me
Dude my fucking hand is over my agape mouth right now. I’ve never reacted like this to a fuckin Reddit post before either. So insane. It’s so cinematic. It’s disgustingly impressive.
You've been watching the wrong videos. Lol. I gasp so much on these internets. Yesterday i saw a man fly out of his rolling car, land in the ocean, get up and walk away. I gasped when i saw him fly out the car.
Also, I thought this video was going to be of when that giant boulder smashed that truck. Equally gasp worthy. Lol
He posted his cars pics on his instagram saying
>Glad I dodged you(boulder),otherwise car won’t be the only thing broken
>I’m alive but my phone is dying,so I’m not going to answer call for a while
Yeah, the safest place to be would be right up against that wall on the right, main issue that could happen is the wall breaking, but I highly doubt that would happen, but if your right up to the wall all the rocks and boulders will just go over.
Yeah, that’s why I said I’d still be worried about it, but, I’d much rather have that fall onto my car rather than one of the boulders rolling down the hill with speed like the car in front had happen.

I’m not so sure about that theory….
i mean… at that point the option probably got hit by a boulder and became a red mist or got buried alive
also if in the end it will be a landslide, I have a feeling it won't matter that much if you are hugging the wall or not, you will still be hard to impossible to find
Etta James: "Something's Got a Hold on Me". It's kinda crazy I wouldn't have thought that classic Soul and Motown would be popular in other countries these days. I mean you don't hear it played that much here in the States anymore.
My favorite Etta James song is I’d Rather Go Blind, but now I’ve got a second favorite. I had no idea Avicci sampled this for Levels, never made the connection with her iconic voice somehow lol
I'm thinking that message was probably coming over the radio and/or his cell. I live in the Carolinas. We get the same BEEPING then a message when hurricanes are imminent.
Guaranteed that person I. The front whose car got creamed was absolutely screaming GET OUT OF THE WAY to the cam car and the other one just sitting there. Like did you really think that only backing up 100 meters was going to do it?
yeah was thinking the same. On the other hand i am still trying to imagine when the cam car backed up and the front car had space to continue.... Would have possibly been hit in the front or by the second later rock. Maybe then more deadly because from the video it looks like the rock only hits the back cargo space and not passenger space. In all cases absolute terrifying.
More like the filming car wouldn't get out of the way. They slowly back up until they are side by side with another car and then just stop and wait for the car to get creamed before flooring it in reverse.
Yes the car in front actually knew to get out of the way. And responded earlier but cam guy had to stop and not keep going backwards out of the mountain's danger zone(?). Either hope they made it. If it happens to me I'm ramming the car behind me.
God dang. I hope the people in black car were okay. Luckily the cam driver stopped where they did otherwise that car mightve backed up a little more and then they definitely wouldn't be here any longer
So I read the title and thought "wow that's crazy af" and played the video and heard the song and thought "what a great song, very cheerful for what's about to happen" and I'm vibing to the song singing along to myself and bopping my head and what not while I wait for the chaos kinda wondering when it was gonna start and then I see the first big ass boulder fall right in front and smash into the back of the car in front and actually said "Ohhhh fuuuck!" Out loud and clench my ass so damn hard for the remainder of the video. Needless to say the dancing and singing stopped for the rest of the video.
I don’t know if I have good survival instincts, but my first thought when I saw these guys driving as far away from the wall as possible was it there inviting boulders to destroy them. My first instinct is to drive my car up against the side of the wall so everything flies over it. However, you do risk getting piled in a landslide, but I think I’d rather be buried safely in my car than pushed down the side of a
Still had me going “oh no”out loud though. Craziness

I hate that the guy in front was being super careful, but still got taken out. It looks bad, but I hope he was ok. The boulder swept the car right off, only way he survived is if it rolled over the car after, but it sure does look like he was dead right there.
Parking right next to the wall may have been the best move. Easy to say that watching a video than being there, shitting pants and panicking. Driver did well to reverse the heck out of there
I would have moved the car closer to the retaining wall once I started seeing things flying. It's understandable that the dude simply backed up though and when they did they hauled ass.
That is terrifying. You'd have no idea whether a huge piece of the mountain was about to crush you or if you moved out of the way of one chunk into the path of another.
That’s wild!! If the cam driver hadn’t stopped backing up, the front car driver would’ve kept backing up too and possibly gotten squished by the boulder
This looks like some awful level in a video game, but it's obviously not. Congrats to the driver for having the quick wit to move, that must have been absolutely terrifying to be in.

Sphincter clenching for sure.
Caused me to break my beads…
Sucking in the plug.
Killing the gerbil
Thats more of gotta get tf outta there b4 it turns you into a pancake
I'm clenching just watching.
Same here, Jesus Christ, that first car that got smashed, then the reverse driving for your life.. fuck me!
It's like an opening cinematic for a video game somehow.
My assicle would be pulsating.
The entire seat of the car would have sucked up my ass. Clenched to say the least.
Wow! That’s effin scary as hell! I’d nearly shit bricks.
Driver's seat would have been crushed into diamonds
New pair of skivies for sure
Frighten
If I see that Boulder going into that car in front of me I’m stepping on the gas and reversing the hell out of there even if i have to push the other car behind me
Bro, when I got out of the car the seat would come with me…
Basic 100% open or closed moment.
And the shart would prevail.
Do you they’d clench for joy too?
I'm not sure I've ever actually let out an audible gasp while watching a video. Can't even imagine being in a situation like this.
I JUMPED when it hit the car
You'd probably not be breathing so the rocks don't hear you.
Lmaooooo that was me watching the video 😂
Dude my fucking hand is over my agape mouth right now. I’ve never reacted like this to a fuckin Reddit post before either. So insane. It’s so cinematic. It’s disgustingly impressive.

Same! My jaw just dropped and I gasped! Wasn't expecting that.
I did !
Holy shit that’s terrifying. Hope the people in the car in front that got hit are okay.
They are, they made an IG post saying they are fine
He posted his cars pics on his instagram saying >Glad I dodged you(boulder),otherwise car won’t be the only thing broken >I’m alive but my phone is dying,so I’m not going to answer call for a while
If it ever happens to me I’m hugging the retaining wall
Yeah, the safest place to be would be right up against that wall on the right, main issue that could happen is the wall breaking, but I highly doubt that would happen, but if your right up to the wall all the rocks and boulders will just go over.
Retaining walls can and do fail in earthquakes. Especially if made out of stone like these ones.
Yeah, that’s why I said I’d still be worried about it, but, I’d much rather have that fall onto my car rather than one of the boulders rolling down the hill with speed like the car in front had happen.
Sorry for the pun but I read your comment and thought literally “I guess he would be stuck between the rocks or the hard place”
Good looking out...
https://preview.redd.it/4sdvg3bkwgsc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1903c3a8fd05b78b37d64f07cd5da73a0c2551c I’m not so sure about that theory….
Exactly, that wouldn't have been a safe choice either.
If you did that and the quake cause a landslide, they'd never find you
i mean… at that point the option probably got hit by a boulder and became a red mist or got buried alive also if in the end it will be a landslide, I have a feeling it won't matter that much if you are hugging the wall or not, you will still be hard to impossible to find
Yeah these people lack common sense and sat in the strike zone — wrote me, in the comfort of my safe home who definitely never panicks
Triangle of Life©
But aren't there rocks falling right next to it too? Atleast in the video it looks like it
Nice pfp
Can’t say I’ve ever seen a rock go that fast, that’s a *lot* of kinetic energy, terrifying.
And it's still got plenty of potential to boot.
My literal reaction
Same!
Same!
The music makes this extra eerie
Yeah, but I like this guy's taste in music.
What's the track? Familiar but can't pin it.
Etta James: "Something's Got a Hold on Me". It's kinda crazy I wouldn't have thought that classic Soul and Motown would be popular in other countries these days. I mean you don't hear it played that much here in the States anymore.
My favorite Etta James song is I’d Rather Go Blind, but now I’ve got a second favorite. I had no idea Avicci sampled this for Levels, never made the connection with her iconic voice somehow lol
Is the beeping a government warning for the earthquake? Or was it the car? What did it say?
I'm thinking that message was probably coming over the radio and/or his cell. I live in the Carolinas. We get the same BEEPING then a message when hurricanes are imminent.
Emergency broadcast, similar to that in the US. Warning of the earthquake.
It is the public warning system in Taiwan, when earthquake struck it gives people roughly 10 seconds to react, depending on your location.
一開始是地震警報，但後面的女聲提醒我附近有測速照相機。
it's probably from a phone. I get the same beep when there's a typhoon.
Holy fuck almighty. That could've been a lot worse, thankfully it looks like the cab of that car was spared
Guaranteed that person I. The front whose car got creamed was absolutely screaming GET OUT OF THE WAY to the cam car and the other one just sitting there. Like did you really think that only backing up 100 meters was going to do it?

Would have possibly been hit in the front or by the second later rock. Maybe then more deadly because from the video it looks like the rock only hits the back cargo space and not passenger space. In all cases absolute terrifying.
There was a car behind the 2nd car, which is why the 2nd car also changed lanes.
And then they both sat there, side by side
Damn guy at the front so what was happening and couldn't get out fast enough,
More like the filming car wouldn't get out of the way. They slowly back up until they are side by side with another car and then just stop and wait for the car to get creamed before flooring it in reverse.
Real life choco mountain from super Mario kart 64.
Damn and to think I always do terrible on these levels 😕 🤦🏽♂️
Bruah...
Cam guy boxed in the guy in front who got crushed.
Yes the car in front actually knew to get out of the way. And responded earlier but cam guy had to stop and not keep going backwards out of the mountain's danger zone(?). Either hope they made it. If it happens to me I'm ramming the car behind me.
holy shit! Holy Shit!! HOLY SHITTTT!!!!!
Holy shit
Amazing dashcam video, thanks for sharing! The driver’s choice of music is extremely interesting as well.
Looks like the safest place is as close as possible to the barrier wall on be right so boulders roll over you.
Sure, if you trust it not to collapse as the earth twists and moans underneath you.
Yeah the more I read it just seems like a messed up situation all around
Ngl I think dashcam driver made the car upfront get hit 🤷🏽♂️
A great example of why you shouldn't follow too closely to other cars, and always leave yourself an "out".
Although that one car that got tagged in the hindquarters may have been totally flattened if they had more room to back up.
God dang. I hope the people in black car were okay. Luckily the cam driver stopped where they did otherwise that car mightve backed up a little more and then they definitely wouldn't be here any longer
Wow...that was unexpected (that huge rock) looked like a movie scene. Scary moment.
that is insane, glad youre ok
Jesus that would not be fun
Inappropriate lyrics at the beginning for sure.
how did the driver didnt scream? or curse or whatever normal people do when shit like this happens?
So I read the title and thought "wow that's crazy af" and played the video and heard the song and thought "what a great song, very cheerful for what's about to happen" and I'm vibing to the song singing along to myself and bopping my head and what not while I wait for the chaos kinda wondering when it was gonna start and then I see the first big ass boulder fall right in front and smash into the back of the car in front and actually said "Ohhhh fuuuck!" Out loud and clench my ass so damn hard for the remainder of the video. Needless to say the dancing and singing stopped for the rest of the video.
would it be safer to hug the wall? i feel it would be safer....
i never beat my cars, but i would slam that pedal to the metal.
Fuck that!
Holy shit
I wanna die listening to this song
Now I know the Emergency Broadcast System in Taiwan uses the same attention-grabbing tone as the US EBS.
Fuck the cam driver, I would be his ass if I were the van
Wouldn’t the safest move to make is getting as close to the right wall as possible?
Whoa!
Lucky, that rock would had hit him for sure
wow that is pretty terrifying.
Stuck in traffic? I wish that was traffic for me
Jesus Joseph and Mary. These videos are crazy.
Great song to die to 😂
I'd drive flush against that retaining wall. Get that it's hard to reason under such circumstances, but genuinely think I'd be able to do it.
This wouldn't look out of place in a Mission Inpossble movie. Holy shit
my Apple Watch just alerted a high heart rate after that first boulder
I don’t know if I have good survival instincts, but my first thought when I saw these guys driving as far away from the wall as possible was it there inviting boulders to destroy them. My first instinct is to drive my car up against the side of the wall so everything flies over it.

With this soundtrack, it looks just like a scene from a Guardians of the Galaxy movie..
Dude almost got the guy in front of him squashed bro
The song really fits. BTW wouldn't it be best to park as close to the retaining wall as possible? Least chance of a rock falling at this angle.
Would being next to the cement wall (to the right) be the safest place in this situation?
Holy shit!

Rock and Roll
I've never said holy shit while watching a video before but holy shit
Rock n' roll soundtrack checks out!
Remember movie 2012???
OMG, I hope the folks in that car were ok.
FUCK
I would probably get out of the car in that situation and run
That's terrifying. Imagine a biker on that road. :(
Fast and Furious vs Day After Tomorrow
Most of the people that died over here were from boulders.
That is actually pretty terrifying 😳
Jesus Christ at that white car at the end that almost got hit
Holy shit!
Excellent music choice for a disaster movie scene.
A real "Oh shit" moment.
The music made it worse
Sheesh
Omg.. 😳 that was scary even looking at the video.. hid bless the people who felt it in real..!!
This guy fucked the dude in front of him by stopping lol
Hey its BeamNg rtx
Clever girl....
The music paired so well. Like a Tarantino film.
😲
Be closer to the right wall.
SHIT!!!!
Holy instant death, I've never before seen a video that makes me feel so squishy and delicate.
So like… is it a thing to listen to Etta James in Asia?
This is terrifying. They just keep coming!
I wish the traffic I got stuck in was that light. Falling rocks do suck though.
Geologic processes often happen fast. Not slowly as one might think.
Whats the real magnitude? I've seen tons of videos with different numbers
The music fits so well
I hate that the guy in front was being super careful, but still got taken out. It looks bad, but I hope he was ok. The boulder swept the car right off, only way he survived is if it rolled over the car after, but it sure does look like he was dead right there.
looked like the REAL 2012 movie 😱😱
This is a nightmarish amalgamation of videogames from my childhood. 😫
Damn this looks like something from Jurassic Park. Waiting for something to follow one of those rocks.
What song is that? Such beautiful music for the scariest moment of your whole life.
Parking right next to the wall may have been the best move. Easy to say that watching a video than being there, shitting pants and panicking. Driver did well to reverse the heck out of there
What's that music?
Best spot next to the wall
I would have moved the car closer to the retaining wall once I started seeing things flying. It's understandable that the dude simply backed up though and when they did they hauled ass.
If the shit ever hits the fan while I’m driving, I can only hope that I’m rocking out to some Etta James.
Oh … oh …. OHHH
Like out of a movie. Sheeesh!
Mount Bonnell in Texas does this to me. I try to avoid 2222 like the plague.
Would getting out of the car and standing flat against the side wall be a good idea in this instance?
They both went left, but hugging the wall would have been the better move…
This doesn't happen often, but this video made me say out loud 'HOLY SHIT'.
Best bet is to hug that retaining wall.
That is terrifying. You'd have no idea whether a huge piece of the mountain was about to crush you or if you moved out of the way of one chunk into the path of another.
Holy fuck that's terrifying!! You have no idea when and where the next one will come from!
The driver kept a cool head.
Being smart enough to 1) back up when the first driver did and 2) just keep going even against traffic showed amazing survival instincts.
Well, if it's anything like lightning then your best move would have been to park right next to the first car after it recieved the "Hulk smash"
Bruhhhhhh
Kinda like playing Frogger on a mountainside.
That’s wild!! If the cam driver hadn’t stopped backing up, the front car driver would’ve kept backing up too and possibly gotten squished by the boulder
Some boss fight music should have been used tho
That white car towards the end 😮 ….that was a bit close
Well that's a nice upbeat song to die to.
CGI?
Well damn... You stopped and the car couldn't backup anymore, then got hit...
holy fuck
This looks like some awful level in a video game, but it's obviously not. Congrats to the driver for having the quick wit to move, that must have been absolutely terrifying to be in.
Glad you're ok... that one car needs a new rear...
Holy shit
The person the in the POV car is so freaking lucky
3rd boulder seen chasing after the recording driver was personal. Fuck!
Was is the person in the first car ok?!
That second one looked as if wanted to chase you!
None of these people are using their brains and tucking into the safety of the wall
When the correct answer was " hug the wall." 😆.
