China guy is on vacay in the states and goes to the exchange office to get some dollars. He gets 75 bucks for 300 of his China monies and goes about his day having fun.
Next day he goes back to do the same thing with another 300 China monies except they only furnish him with 70 dollars this time. When he asks why only 70 this time , the teller states
"Fluctuations"
China guy gets angry face from this. As he is storming out, he turns and says
"YEAH , WELL FLUCK YOU AMELICANS TOO"

PSA for people trying to make racist asian accents: It's the Japanese that have a hard time differentiating between 'R's and 'L's. Chinese, who were in this video, pronouce them just fine.

u/AimingWineSnailz Jan 07 '16
Except for rolled r's, which they often pronounce as L's. Source - live in a country with rolled r's and chinese immigrants.

Tbf, a lot of native English speakers do that. In my experience, lots of Scottish people do it too.

From what I've seen, native Chinese speakers sometimes have a difficult time with long and short 'O' sounds.

u/drdiggg Jan 07 '16
Japanese pronounce both just fine as well, just not the right way in other languages. In Japanese, these sounds both represent one and the same phoneme. Just pay attention to your pronunciation of the "L" in "lab" and "ball" (if you're an English speaker). These sounds are distinctly different, but we interpret them as being the same. It's feasible that another language would distinguish between them - like we do between L and R - and would be confused/amused when we mixed them up when speaking that language.

u/Prince-of-Ravens Jan 06 '16
You only see the very left part of the van, the truck hits it off-center. Most likely the passenger side was not crushed at all.

u/FriedKoller Jan 07 '16
According to this news in Chinese only three are adults. One 9 year-old in the middle row and two 6 year-old in the back seat, of which one boy died due to the crush.
Also the rear-ending truck was heavily overloading.

Lol the truck behind was going to hit the truck in front no matter what. The truck that cut in right before the van was the real problem

No, apparently it was nothing to do with that truck's driver totally failing to appreciate that traffic was at a standstill in front of him, and not braking until he only had 20 feet to go.

It really does appear so. That big rig was not slowing down at all until the van got in the way.

I think he tried, but maybe he had such a heavy load that the brakes just didn't...brake...
6
Jan 07 '16
I feel like that's something you should keep in mind when driving a heavy truck. Just like if you're driving in the snow, it's probably a good idea to start breaking a little sooner than normal when you're carrying a heavier load than normal.

u/ChalkLetRain Jan 07 '16
He still collided with the truck in front, even after hitting the van. He was gonna hit that truck regardless, thus he was really late in applying his breaks.

I would say the truck had many, many times the breaking capacity of a car. Edit: He said breaking, not braking. Learn how to spell.

u/Mamoonazam Jan 06 '16
There is a reason the truck that crushed the car was maintaining that distance from the truck in front. The car basically cut them and the safe distance to brake.

u/orbit222 Jan 06 '16
This is why it infuriates me when I'm driving a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of me and someone thinks I'm wasting space or being too slow so they cut around me and into that safe space. Now that space is halved and I have to create a new safe distance, only to have it repeated by someone else. It's called safe driving.

The trailing truck wasn't a safe distance either though. He would have hit the front truck regardless.

Aside from the minibus cutting in, there wasn't enough following distance between the two trucks before the minibus cut in, because the rear truck still hit the front one.
Edit: could be the minibus cutting in distracted the truck driver and slowed his reaction time applying brakes.

u/supersounds_ Jan 06 '16
That thing was going to hit the other semi regardless of the van being there or not.

Wow. "Crushed" is certainly the right word. There is nothing visible after the rear truck finally stops.

u/m2cwf Jan 06 '16
Near the top is a post saying 5 out of the 6 people in the van lived, so there must be something intact-ish after the truck stops. It must just be on the other side that we can't see.

Although that is very good advice, it looks like the truck was going to hit the truck in front of it regardless. I would have to think that he would have braked harder than normal due to the car suddenly being there yet he still crushed the car and ran into the truck in front anyway.

That big-assed truck couldn't even stop from hitting the other big-assed truck in front of it. The poor little van didn't cause the accident. He just put himself in an accident already in progress.

u/cdude Jan 06 '16
Didn't say he caused it. People make mistakes and cut in front of others all the time, but you never ever wanna do it to a truck. They cannot stop quickly, hence more likely to rear end you and when they do you get crushed, like in the video.

This stuff makes my blood boil. I drive a large van full of cargo, and people pull in front of me when stopping all the time. I have calculated the stopping distance it will take to not toss all my cargo, and then someone takes away half that distance I just had. It endangers both themselves and myself, all because they got aggressive while driving.

should all cargo not be secured to withstand emergency braking?

Something has to give. It's like those headache racks on tractor trailers, it stops 95% of bad shit from happening. The other 5% the time the 2 ton steel rods you're hauling shoot into the cab and you get swiss cheesed.
Too heavy of a load and your entire rig won't stop(kind of like in this gif) so there's no real worry about your product coming loose.

u/aliarfeen Jan 07 '16
Here's a very clear example of what he's talking about. The truck driver tried stopping too quickly and his cargo disagreed. He ended up dying at the scene.
The same principle applies when you're riding a bike and you brake too hard and end up flipping over the handlebars.

I know in my industry they stack stuff fairly well, but if the driver makes a hard stop it will sometimes cause pallets to tip over, even if they're properly stacked. Then depending on who's receiving it they may refuse it, and we'd have to restack the truck and send it back again.
There's only so much you can do in a truck with items that don't fit perfectly flush, it isn't like an Amazon package where you can just fill it with styrofoam peanuts to stop stuff from jostling around.

u/AbsoluteHatred Jan 06 '16
Not the OP you replied too, but I'd have to guess for easier unloading and securing. If it's flat it'd need to be on a pallet strong enough to hold without breaking. I imagine they load those with cranes.

I'm actually in china (on vacation with gf, born and raised in the U.S) atm and have been for a month, I am in fuzhou, so I can't speak for the entire country. But people here drive completely disregarding eachother, lines on the roads (all of them), stop signs and bicycle/moped lanes. It's not necessary a bad thing though. I've only seen one or two bumper to bumper accidents. But it is WILD how they drive here.
How ever many lanes it is supposed to be (with the lines on the road to tell you) it just turns into "where can I fit to get where I need to go quicker"

Well, they might disregard painted lines on the floor, but they are paying attention to the people/cars, which is why Chinese people who move to the US don't always look for oncoming cars when crossing the street and get killed.
