And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Happens frequently here in WV, almost everyone knows someone killed or in a wreck cause of ledge breaking loose. A really large section come down on SR1, next to an elementary school, you had to go about 60 miles extra getting around, whole year for to drill blast and muck that drop enough to open back up the road. A whole section of mountain come down, just slowly tip over, took couple days, some drops take longer, usually the big ones are at least an hour or some. Aside from them being so big they just look slow. Wild seeing heavy equipment at the strip mines get squashed like bugs, when one starts the law is drop everything, and run, seriously, no trying to ride your loader or such out, they want you to leave everything and high-tail it. Incredible sight to see.
The driver of the vehicle that took the video had a true "Come To Jesus" moment. You don't see something so deadly and powerful w/o later SERIOUS reflection.
And the rock is still on it's way to it's resting place....

DeleteThink if the driver was just going 1 mph faster.
ReplyDeleteOr got like a millisecond or two less delay in the drive to that point.
