Can't watch it - BoobTube has me blocked unless I turn off ad blockers. Then I turn them off, still blocked. F-UTube.

Yeah, several options to minimize that situation.

Yeah, several options to minimize that situation. Looks like a pretty flat area to "lose" brakes. And if he'd lost his air supply, if everything was working properly; the whole system should've "dynamited" and basically locked the whole system up. Betcha the driver was a "new" American; inexperienced and panicked.

UHH, downshift, turn the key off, emergency brake ? That truck looked like it was MOVING, many are paid by the load around here and are well known for hauling azz At one point he/she was on the sidewalk still hauling butt. I would have tried all of the things you mentioned AND taken out that row of trees, parked cars that most likely didn't have anyone inside them or anything that would slowed or stopped me that wouldn't have hurt or killed someone. Probably dropped their crack pipe.

Medical issue? Mechanical failure,I didn't see any brake smoke.

Only way to lose brakes on a semi is to smoke them, and hard to do that on that many axles...

And agreed with what's been said about the brakes. When the air system pressure gets below 60 psi the brake canisters should lock up. That is if they were properly adjusted to begin with.

I am not a trucker in those big rigs but he seemed to be going way to far without shedding any speed.. The brakes should have worked on some level unless the pedal fell off and if that happened why didn't he downshift? Let off the gas? Etc? Something seems fishy like he had no idea what he was doing or was doing it on purpose.

Something seems fishy like he had no idea what he was doing or was doing it on purpose. I'm no expert by any means either, but as we mentioned before - air brake vehicles kinda work the opposite way hydraulic brakes work. When an Air brake vehicle LOSES it's air supply, the brakes APPLY full force. It's called "Dynamiting". So, unless the actual braking material on the shoes was down to nothing, the idea is that the truck will slow down and/or stop. Worst case, the wheels lock up but that rarely happens. Either way, the truck would stop. I don't see any smoke billowing out from the brakes, so he obviously didn't cook off all his pad material. There are enough inconsistencies in this situation to fill a warehouse. It's flat land, the truck was NOT decelerating, the brakes weren't smoking, if he'd lost air - the brakes would've dynamited.... only the most ignorant among us would think there aren't redundant systems already in place to mitigate this kind of situation.
