3. My husband drove a mixer for several years..

in the mountains. Scary shit. Glad he's retired.

4. One overturned on the highway while climbing in the mountains here in Jamaica

and crushed a woman who was in the descending lane. She was dead before she knew what hit her. It hit me hard because I have family in the same area and that could have been any one of us on any given Sunday. She was returning to Kingston after visiting her elderly parents.

7. Getting older hasn't lessened the "but for the grace of G*d goes I" feelings for me, either.

9. My mom said that often

11. The older we get, the fewer the differences there are. Children have to be taught differences ......

... we older folks have learned to appreciate them.

6. Logging trucks are tough too. I hear car haulers are the worst.

Truck stops. The load doesn't.

12. I guessed transmountain road

Always been an issue. They did put runaway truck exits on both ends. I wonder why it was not used

13. I can only imagine what went throught that poor guy's mind once he realized there were no brakes.

16. Looking on Google maps......

the only emergency exit I'm seeing is over 2-miles back up the mountain just before the Mays Park exit. However, further down he could have just ditched it off to the right into the desert.

I'm thinking his brakes may have failed at the last minute near the N. Desert intersection, so he didn't have any choice. I wonder if he tried his emergency brake.

I followed the highway down most of the mountain and that is one hell of a long incline, approx. 4-miles.

El Paso is lucky more people were not killed.

17. It used to happen on both ends every year
