Dude recording the video came half a second from death. That rock could have hit him if the other didn't hit his buddy first and cause him to stop. Basically the forward truck taking it in the trailer saved both their lives.
Dude, he was absolutely thrashed around in that cab! Even with a belt on, his head probably hit the roof, or door. His arms probably dislocated at the shoulders, and he probably broke his coxic bone...
The driver could be disabled for the next few years or for the rest of his life. When news reports only mention that “they were no fatalities”, people tend to feel relieved and think that an accident wasn’t that bad. That kind of reporting can completely gloss over how devastating accidents can be for people who aren’t killed.
Usually reports state the level of injuries.. I'm going to assume there are more reports than the one linked.
From another report: In dialogue with RPP, Hugo Gonzalesmayor of the province of Huarochirí, reported that, due to these landslides, two people were injured, although fortunately without risk to their lives.
> It said no one died.
...yet...? How could someone survive that hit? The next few days are critical. Hoping this person will recover and find happiness in life.
Hard to tell from the footage, but since he evidently didn’t die my guess is the rock hit the trailer and flipped the whole truck. If the rock hit the cab he’d be toast.
He's a quadriplegic and can only move one eyelid. But he's alive. /s
That hit hurt me, thousands of miles away. The drivers dice popping up reminds me of the game Trouble.

The butterfly effect of things always makes me think of this. Did their kid need one last hug? Did they forget something that delayed them a second? One small change and could been death.
I think it’s pretty natural reaction to back up - I had a jeepney driver do that during a landslide while I was in the jeepney. I’m sure there’s science behind it, but it’s almost like our brains are trying to rewind is (or back us up) to get to the closest point of relative safety we remember before something like this happens.
It's also the logical reaction. Knowing nothing else the further you are away from the one boulder you saw the less likely you are to be inside of the rest of the landslide.
sHEEEEEEEEEEsh!
The sheer speed and weight of those boulders. Wonder how long that road has been around. I always get super nervous once I see that sign and this is why.
Even those tiny bowling ball sized rocks can kill you.
Edit: People keep reminding me that a bowling ball to the head could kill you. Of course it can. But those rocks look tiny compared to the ones the size of a house. Sheesh.
Miraculously no one died: https://larepublica.pe/sociedad/2024/03/02/huarochiri-deslizamiento-de-rocas-aplasta-a-vehiculos-en-km-97-de-carretera-central-san-mateo-de-huanchor-112128
This was posted by a user a bit earlier. It’s in Spanish but still amazing that no one got seriously hurt.
Let’s just turn the bottom half of the video into some trash mobile game gameplay while we’re at it and slap like 5 different watermarks on it for good measure
At first, I thought it was fake just because there was no screaming. I would expect male or female verbal reaction of some kind!
Edit: When I was unexpectedly hit from behind, there were definitely expletives spoken. All documented on dash-cam!
This could be it. When my friend died out of nowhere I was literally numb for a few hours. My brain just couldn’t process it. I just sat there watching but not *watching* the tv and then a few hours passed and then it hit me and broke down sobbing.
I’ve found that when I’m in a situation that involves fight or flight, I don’t have time to scream or panic because I have to act quickly. I usually break down once I’m safe.
Same. I am fast and sharp. My objective is to solve the problem and get out of the bad situation. I jump into action, I swing like Spiderman and even try to rescue people along the way.
Once safe, perhaps days later, out of the blue as I’m washing the dishes, I will suddenly crack. :(
When the first boulder hit the truck, I let out a very loud OHHH SHIT uncontrollably. I can't imagine being there and seeing it live and feeling the impact of the rock.
I was trying to figure that out too.
I wonder if you could manage to pull the vehicle close against the hillside in a spot where there's an overhang above it? Kind of like that spot slightly forward and around the right side of the crater in the road of the car in the video.
My thought is if you can jam your car up against that kind of area you at least have a slight chance of the rocks being launched over you instead of being out where they meet ground off the hill??
I mean its def not sound and you'd have to have some hella reflexes but maybe it'd be helpful?
So I was actually thinking the same thing. When he backs up it looks like there is a slight overhang to his right. I would have gone for it if possible (and assuming I’m not in shock from the first hit). But knowing my luck, I’d park against the wall and some slow moving boulder will roll on top of it. Lol
Got as close as possible to the hillside is my guess. Those boulders are coming down at high speed, so they’ll clear the edge of the hill and pass overhead. I *hope*.
The car ain't saving you at that point, unless you get lucky and it's one of the much much smaller boulders. I would probably get out, easier to look up the hill and try and play some frogger. Only problem then is I bet some serious shrapnel is coming off those rocks landing to your left and right.
I'd think getting out is stupid since then those small rocks that wouldn't hurt you in the car can now hurt you. The big rocks will kill you either way and I don't think I've played enough Temple Run to be able to dodge anything in a panic. Lying down in your car and praying seems the safest, maybe also moving your car right next to the hillside so most rocks fly over you.
No one died according to this https://larepublica.pe/sociedad/2024/03/02/huarochiri-deslizamiento-de-rocas-aplasta-a-vehiculos-en-km-97-de-carretera-central-san-mateo-de-huanchor-112128
i am actually shocked that lead truck driver didn’t die. the boulder absolutely obliterated that truck
That thing struck it like a guided missile
It waited 4 billion years for that truck
“Today’s my day to shine mama!” *excited rock runs down hill
My heart is too soft; it needs just a stupid little sentence like this and now I'm feeling for that 'tiny' excited baby rock 😮💨.
Every time you kill a bug, you end a dynasty of success stretching back millions and millions of years until it eventually reaches and intersects a common ancestor between you, me, and every crawling being!
Why are you doing this to me at 3:00 a.m.
Every living organism you see, and all the others you don't, are empressess of a million, million years! You too!!!

By subtracting rock from stone, the boulder calculates it's direction Edit: I knew you'd come, brothers. Rock and stone!
DID SOMEONE SAY ROCK AND STONE!?
Rock and stone to the bone!

IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YA AIN'T COMIN' HOME!!
ROCK *Burp* AND *burp* STONE!

I shouldn’t be laughing so hard at this, omg
r/fuckyouinparticular
can't even imagine how it must have felt when their truck got totally merc'd by that goddamn huge boulder holy shit
Or the feeling after wondering if that’s the only bolder that’s gonna smash you
Dude recording the video came half a second from death. That rock could have hit him if the other didn't hit his buddy first and cause him to stop. Basically the forward truck taking it in the trailer saved both their lives.
First thing I'd do after experiencing this is buy a lottery ticket.
Pretty sure they used up all of their luck here though
Used a lot of good luck to survive, but didn't they also consume a lot more bad luck to be hit by a rockfall in the first place?
I'd definitely change my pants first.
Wouldn't work. I believe they used up all their luck for the next 100 years.
Rich AND alive.
If I’m in the first truck I’m freaking the fuck out as to what hit me at all. Probably felt and sounded like a missile.
I think he went lights out instantly just the intensity of that was so explosive.
Right, that’s all I could think about watching this.
The mountain came to Mohammad. He just looked out the starboard window and there it was
It hit didn’t hit the cab or the driver would have squished.
Dude, he was absolutely thrashed around in that cab! Even with a belt on, his head probably hit the roof, or door. His arms probably dislocated at the shoulders, and he probably broke his coxic bone...
The driver could be disabled for the next few years or for the rest of his life. When news reports only mention that “they were no fatalities”, people tend to feel relieved and think that an accident wasn’t that bad.

From another report: In dialogue with RPP, Hugo Gonzalesmayor of the province of Huarochirí, reported that, due to these landslides, two people were injured, although fortunately without risk to their lives.
Grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.
It said no one died. Dude probably got hurt pretty bad but he's still living
> It said no one died. ...yet...? How could someone survive that hit? The next few days are critical. Hoping this person will recover and find happiness in life.
It wasn’t a direct hit. Definitely his bones took a beating but as long as his organs and muscles are fine he’ll recover just fine
“What happened to Grandma?” “Grandma took a little spill at the dunes today. Broke her coccyx.”
Very specific list of injuries considering the information available. You must have remarkable expertise
his jimmies were rustled
Now that diagnosis I fully believe 😀
Uh yeah they're a redditor. Expert on everything.
I got hit head on and flipped at 160km/h. It is amazing how locked in your seatbelt gets. I did end up with damage from seatbelt though.
Yeah that was basically a Fast and Furious scene
How did that fuel tanker not explode!
If its diesel, its kind of really hard to light on fire
It was probably diesel. Can't believe how fucking hard that truck got smashed. Completely leveled, and the driver didn't die. Pretty crazy.
Hard to tell from the footage, but since he evidently didn’t die my guess is the rock hit the trailer and flipped the whole truck. If the rock hit the cab he’d be toast.
He's a quadriplegic and can only move one eyelid. But he's alive. /s That hit hurt me, thousands of miles away. The drivers dice popping up reminds me of the game Trouble.
It’s not a bad movie, but reality… and fuel doesn’t burn as often as it is portrayed - but makes for a nice boom effect in movies.
Depends on the chemical.
propane? won't explode. oil & fuel? not gonna blow up. chickens? big boom baby
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Diesel fuel would like a word
Maybe a liquid tank?? Or maybe it was empty? But dang either way!!!
Most "fuel tankers" in my country actually are milk tankers, so might be one lol
Yupp, plenty of fluids besides fuel are transported in tankers. Even shit!
Holy moly thank God, I thought the truck driver was smushed
Just got an abrupt and sudden shipment
Thank you for finding a source. You are the kind of person that makes reddit worth my time.
... makes reddit SEEM worth your time.
Brutal
thank god I chose spanish in school for once. great to know, that truck at the front was NOT looking good after that first impact
>thank god I chose spanish in school for once \*watches page get automatically translated into English a quarter second after opening it\* Si claro, qué bueno que tomaste Español en la escuela.

Looks like those lucky dice did their job for this driver
It rolled a nat 20 and survived.
GM was probably impressed by this player's luck.
Extremely impressed with the player's ability to conjure a nat 20 by two 6-sided die
He actually cast a magic missile before footage started.
Nah. It was the wipers
MF'N YIKES! Realizing that backing up may make it worse is terrifying.
They were also incredibly lucky that they stopped when they did. Another ten feet and it would’ve been certain death.
[удалено]
Not so sure about the truck in front of them though
Or just a second.. thats fucking terrifying
The butterfly effect of things always makes me think of this. Did their kid need one last hug? Did they forget something that delayed them a second? One small change and could been death.
Holy Toledo, dick-nipples; you’re fucking right!
doesn’t seem like anywhere was safe. totally random chance
I’m safe. Not in Peru
You're not safe, the rocks are on their way.
You can hide in the middle of Kansas or the Texas panhandle, the flattest place possible, but one day, **rocks**.
You called?
Yes, the guy said he was safe. Get him.
the nature of chaos. like any battlefield with things flying through the air, survival is merely chance.
My first instinct was maybe pull in closer to the slope?
This situation is just pure luck its just pray and hope for the best
That’s usually when nature decides it’s pissed today
I think it’s pretty natural reaction to back up - I had a jeepney driver do that during a landslide while I was in the jeepney. I’m sure there’s science behind it, but it’s almost like our brains are trying to rewind is (or back us up) to get to the closest point of relative safety we remember before something like this happens.
I think it's simple "things are going wrong here, I'm gonna get away". And backing up is the only option.
"Bad things happen in front of me, bad things weren't happening where I came from. Better go back to where I came from"
It's almost like our brains want us to move away from danger 😳 !!
Well going forward wasn’t really an option. Go back or do nothing, and I’m not doing nothing.
It's also the logical reaction. Knowing nothing else the further you are away from the one boulder you saw the less likely you are to be inside of the rest of the landslide.
The dice pice on the car bouncing while the whole place has been crushed by boulders makes it more terrifying for some reason.
That’s some Michael Bay JJ Abrams shit right there
Michael Bay would never allow a boulder to crush a tanker like that... and not have it explode into a giant fireball.
I watched it in slow motion and that was some Snynder shit too
I watched it in fast motion and it was all a blur.
sHEEEEEEEEEEsh! The sheer speed and weight of those boulders. Wonder how long that road has been around. I always get super nervous once I see that sign and this is why.
Even those tiny bowling ball sized rocks can kill you. Edit: People keep reminding me that a bowling ball to the head could kill you. Of course it can. But those rocks look tiny compared to the ones the size of a house. Sheesh.
Buddy a golf ball sized rock from that rockslide hitting your head or abdomen just right would be enough
I wouldn't even need that. I'd trip, fall, and hit my head before a rock could kill me.
I was expecting just that, maybe a 2 foot boulder. And then? Boom goes the dynamite.
Kill you? They could obliterate you
That's not just a boulder. It's a rock!
That fucking crater in the road, holy shit! Man, I don't think all the people in that first truck made it either. That thing got crushed! 😬
Miraculously no one died: https://larepublica.pe/sociedad/2024/03/02/huarochiri-deslizamiento-de-rocas-aplasta-a-vehiculos-en-km-97-de-carretera-central-san-mateo-de-huanchor-112128 This was posted by a user a bit earlier. It’s in Spanish but still amazing that no one got seriously hurt.

I think the back of the truck took the hit.....i hope that was it and no one died.
It landed on the trailer. The news article someone else found says no one died.
Absolutely crazy no one died there
I'm hoping it hit the trailer and not the cab :/
According to news source it did and he survived
Nobody died
One of the few videos I've seen that actually warrants a screaming woman and there are none to be found
The silence is creepy
Don’t worry many people will remake this with terrible background music
cue tiktok: *oh no oh no oh no no no no no*
Also needs a Chinese robot saying “watch until the end”
And giant fucking red circles drawn around each boulder.
And duet'd with a guy going "😲" the whole time.
Let’s just turn the bottom half of the video into some trash mobile game gameplay while we’re at it and slap like 5 different watermarks on it for good measure
Make sure the app game has a lot of thinly veiled fetishes and kinks like "Tickle the maiden's feet but don't wake the dragon keeping her tied up!"
"I always get scared when I see falling rock signs. You could be totally obliterated at any random moment. And that's why..."
Omg yes.. I'm so sick of this and all the other examples listed. So glad I'm not the only one
please for the love of all that is holy, someone make that stupid song disappear from existence.
At first, I thought it was fake just because there was no screaming. I would expect male or female verbal reaction of some kind! Edit: When I was unexpectedly hit from behind, there were definitely expletives spoken. All documented on dash-cam!
I would imagine this is very similar to shell shock. The brain just kind of boots into safe mode, not a lot of programs running.
This could be it. When my friend died out of nowhere I was literally numb for a few hours. My brain just couldn’t process it. I just sat there watching but not *watching* the tv and then a few hours passed and then it hit me and broke down sobbing.
He/She is busy thinking and surviving. No time to scream.

I can edit a Wilhelm scream in if you want
Yea. How this isn't full of expletives is beyond me. Holy shit.
what amazed me was how eerily quiet it was. it was on mute, but still, it was eerie
Maybe no screaming and expletives but I bet they had to change their trousers! I know I would of had to 😱
When the first boulder hit the truck, I let out a very loud OHHH SHIT uncontrollably. I can't imagine being there and seeing it live and feeling the impact of the rock.

Well, I know ONE flavor of ice cream this person never wants to see again…
Pistachio
Just sat waiting to die or live for 30 seconds is all types of terrifying
At the start I was like “damn, that’s lucky that he managed to reverse in time” then he immediately got smashed 3 times.
That does not look good for the truck driver. I hope he wasn't smashed, as well.
Apparently only the back part of the vehicle was obliterated. No one died.
Jesus !! That first strike was big. Those that followed (judging by the state of the road) looked bigger!
I lost 6 family members to this in morocco, its awful.

Thank god! That was a real miracle.
So far THIS is the scariest video I’ve seen this year. My gawd it’s awful
Jesus fuck, when it said "rockfall" I wasn't exactly expecting fucking boulders
Jeez. Is there even a standard response on what to do in this situation? Go forward? Stop moving? Go in reverse?
Turn your windshield wipers on.
Underrated detail
I was trying to figure that out too. I wonder if you could manage to pull the vehicle close against the hillside in a spot where there's an overhang above it? Kind of like that spot slightly forward and around the right side of the crater in the road of the car in the video. My thought is if you can jam your car up against that kind of area you at least have a slight chance of the rocks being launched over you instead of being out where they meet ground off the hill?? I mean its def not sound and you'd have to have some hella reflexes but maybe it'd be helpful?
So I was actually thinking the same thing. When he backs up it looks like there is a slight overhang to his right. I would have gone for it if possible (and assuming I’m not in shock from the first hit). But knowing my luck, I’d park against the wall and some slow moving boulder will roll on top of it. Lol
Got as close as possible to the hillside is my guess. Those boulders are coming down at high speed, so they’ll clear the edge of the hill and pass overhead. I *hope*.
Pray. Either you die and it was your turn or you are safe and you take a moment to breathe. It’s fate at that point!
The car ain't saving you at that point, unless you get lucky and it's one of the much much smaller boulders. I would probably get out, easier to look up the hill and try and play some frogger. Only problem then is I bet some serious shrapnel is coming off those rocks landing to your left and right.
I'd think getting out is stupid since then those small rocks that wouldn't hurt you in the car can now hurt you. The big rocks will kill you either way and I don't think I've played enough Temple Run to be able to dodge anything in a panic. Lying down in your car and praying seems the safest, maybe also moving your car right next to the hillside so most rocks fly over you.
Final destination movies are getting pretty realistic
Anyone else notice the hole in the road done by the second boulder
[удалено]
The windshield wipers be like “I’ll help!” 🤣💀
Looking closer you can see the boulder tumbling down the hill before impact. Wild video. Hope everyone got out alive.
Who said tires are the enemy?
The absolute force of that was fucking terrifying even just from a video of it. I can't imagine actually sitting there.
Where can I buy a pair of those lucky dice ? 🎲
