    Notice that none of the wheels turn at all! It's fake!

    I wonder if it was a school assignment. It is a bit scary how easily things can be faked now. Sometimes we can't even trust what "see" with our own eyes..

    Since none of the wheels show suspension or even movement up and down, I agree with the model position. The front wheels would have moved when the weight came off. The filming was set up to capture the specific movement as the truck tumbled. The hydraulic ram would likely have snapped with the lateral force exerted although it was minimal.

    Amazing the cab wasn't crushed – or that the driver wasn't partially ejected. In any event, a horrific thing to ride out. Good thing the camera was all set up, though.
