Heart Pounding Video: Dump Truck Plows Into A House
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Scary dashcam footage shows the heart pounding moment when a dump truck veers off a road and right into a house. While the video is shocking, key to understanding what happened is to know the driver suffered a medical accident happened in Woodbury Heights, New Jersey and the footage is going viral. After the dump truck slammed into the house, demolishing it, the driver was trapped in the cab for two hours before first responders could get to him. Somehow the driver as well as the owner of the house weren't seriously injured. That alone is a miracle. In the footage, you see the dump truck driving along a two-lane road when it just gradually crosses the median line, a car coming the opposite direction veering out of its way. Then the large commercial vehicle jumps the curb, hits a power pole and snaps it in two, misses some parked cars, then drives across lawns before hitting the house square on. According to multiple reports, authorities are saying the driver suffered a Grand Mal seizure and lost control of the 73,000 lbs. dump truck. That's a scary situation which could've ended even worse than the awful outcome. We don't know anything about the dump truck driver other than he's named 'Timmy' and apparently is a veteran of the business. We're assuming the driver and his employer had no idea he was at risk for seizures, so the crash was quite the shock. Our takeaway from this is what we've said so many times before: as a driver, you need to be ready for literally anything to happen. The one driver who came across the dump truck going the wrong way was fortunately able to avoid a head-on collision. Had that driver not been alert, he might have been turned into a pancake.

Dashcam footage captures moment dump truck smashes into home after driver suffers 'medical emergency'
Terrifying dashboard camera footage captured the moment a dump truck crashed into a New Jersey home after the driver suffered a 'medical emergency'. The 73,000lb truck, which was loaded with concrete sand, smashed into the Woodbury Heights home on Tuesday. Woodbury Police were called to the scene at the intersection of Woodbury-Glassboro Road and Fairview Avenue at 1.34pm. The commercial truck, owned by Zeisloft Trucking, was traveling northbound when it struck a telephone pole and continued down the street until it collided with the home. Dashcam footage obtained by WPVI showed the truck driving past several cars before picking up speed and veering off the road and into the home at nearly 50mph. First responders rescued the resident and the truck driver from the rubble, but the home had to be totaled. Neighbor, Derek Keating, told Fox 29 that he ran over to help, and a natural gas line started to leak before first responders arrived. He said: 'He was screaming for help, and he wasn't sure how bad he was hurt. I could see that he was bleeding, and he was telling me he had some medical issues.' 'The house is totaled. I've never seen that much devastation on a house. I mean, I've seen cars hit houses, but not like this.' Charles Zeisloft, the owner of Zeisloft Trucking, told the local news station the driver had experienced a 'Grand Mal' seizure behind the wheel. He identified the driver as a man named Timmy, who has 25 years of experience and was on his way home when he crashed. Zeisloft said: 'Timmy, the driver, has been with us probably for 25 years. Loyal, dependable driver and he just lost his wife about a year ago.' He added that his employee called him once he came to after the crash and had no idea what happened. Zeisloft said: 'He wanted to tell me that he was in an accident. And that's what he called me about. I said, "Timmy, I'm already here". I said, "You are down in the basement of a home and I'm happy to hear you are OK".' Another neighbor told NBC Philadelphia the man inside the home was recovering from surgery when the crash happened. 'I feel really horrible for the driver, and I feel very sorry for that man cause he is elderly and apparently just had surgery and was using a walker. He's older,' one witness, Lori Denham, said. The homeowner's brother told CBS News Philadelphia that the man is recovering at the hospital, and he was sitting in his favorite chair when the truck crashed and sent him flying through the walls. Horrified neighbors told the local news outlets about the chaos that ensued after the crash. One neighbor, Samantha Burke, said: 'My son and I were walking out of our door when I heard a loud crash as we were coming out. The next thing I know there was a truck in our neighbor's yard, in his house." 'I heard my neighbor yelling, but the house was starting to crumble, so we couldn't do anything.'

Tim Tebow reveals stunning John 3:16 connections in Broncos playoff win and Florida national championship
Tim Tebow had a lot of great moments in his football career, but two of his biggest ones came on the same date three years apart: Jan. 8. On Jan. 8, 2009, Tebow led Florida to a 24-14 national championship victory over Oklahoma, the team's second championship in three seasons. On Jan. 8, 2012, Tebow's Denver Broncos beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card round in an overtime thriller. On the first play of overtime, Tebow connected with wide receiver Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard touchdown to win the game. Beyond the date holding significance to Tebow, what transpired in those football games reaffirmed Tebow's faith in God. During Florida's national championship victory in 2009, Tebow wrote "John 3:16" on his eye black that he wore that game. After the Broncos' thrilling comeback over the Steelers three years later, a Broncos PR person made Tebow aware of some statistics that were linked to that Bible verse. "Right before I walk in this big room packed full of media (after the game), there's all these curtains out front, and I'm standing in front. Patrick, our PR guy (with the Broncos), stepped in front of me and said, 'Timmy, do you realize what happened?' and I'm like, 'Yeah we just beat the Steelers we're going to play the Patriots.' Like yeah, I know what happened dude, like why (did) you ask me such a silly question, and he goes, 'No, do you know what happened?'" Tebow said during a recent appearance on the "Shawn Ryan Show." "And I'm like, 'I thought I did, Patrick, what happened?' Because you could just see this different demeanor. He said, 'Timmy, no, you don't know what happened, Timmy, It's exactly three years from the night that you wore John 3:16 under your eyes.' And I'm like, 'Oh wow, that's awesome, that's so cool.' And he said 'No, no, no you don't realize it. Timmy, during the game you threw for 316 yards.' And I'm like 'What?'" "And he said, 'Timmy, during the game your yards per rush were 3.16. Your yards per completion were 31.6. The ratings for the night were 31.6 and the time of possession was 31:06. During the night, over 90 million people have googled John 3:16 It's the number one trending thing all over." Tebow was taken aback as he realized that God had sent him a message. "I don't think I had the reaction that a lot of people think I did, because I went from a high and a celebration and a joy to a conviction and a disappointment. Why? Because when (Patrick) was telling me that I knew that God was convicting me, saying, 'Timmy, you thought tonight was about a game. You thought it was about all of these things. It's never just about a game. I didn't die for a game,'" Tebow said. "And I was so convicted, still grateful that God would use something, but convicted man, my eyes were on the wrong thing, my heart was in the wrong place. I knew You, I knew what You'd done, but still my heart was here, and my eyes were here. I knew the truth, I just wasn't focused on it. I was having all of these selfish ambitions and goals." Tebow explained that he wanted to win the game to prove the doubters wrong, and he wanted to win it for the fans and his family who supported him. However, the quarterback said, those were "selfish" reasons, and that his "eyes" and "heart" were looking at the wrong things. Those "selfish" ambitions took him away from where God needed him to be, and the former Broncos quarterback said verse John 3:16 is the "greatest love story" of all time. "That verse means to me, it's if you're going to sum up the love of the Gospel, which I really believe, when we talk about the Gospel, that it is the greatest love story rescue mission of all time. That there is a God that loves us so much that he sent his son to put on flesh to live a life we couldn't live but choose to die a death that we deserve to die as a ransom for us as the propitiation meaning the payment that satisfies and that payment was his life," Tebow said. "When we look at John 3:16 for God so loved the world he gave because he loved us so much with this love that, honestly, it's hard to even fathom. But when we talk about that love in Greek, they have four types of love, but the most admirable form of love that love, is agape love. And the best definition of agape love is to choose the best interests of another person and act on their behalf and Jesus chose our best interest." "And he acted on our behalf, and he went to the cross not just for us, but instead of us. And he loved us so much that he gave his one and only son that whosoever would believe in him would not perish but have everlasting life. Man, I know we put it on bumper stickers and eye blacks and signs and games and everything, but we can't lose the essence in the heart of what that means." "That there's a God that created all of this and spoke it into existence like this, and yet that God with all knowledge and all power would say 'I love you so much that I'm going to give what's so precious for me and my son and I'm going to give him in exchange for you because I love you that much.' So, when you think about John 3:16 it's um there's no greater love." Tebow played three seasons in the NFL, two with the Broncos and one with the New York Jets. The former quarterback is soon to have a new title: dad. Tebow and his wife, Demi-Leigh, announced they are expecting their first child, a baby girl, in March.

Parents And Childcare Workers Are Sharing Their "IPad Kid" Horror Stories, And It's A Glimpse Into What Screen Addiction Can Do To Children
I recently asked parents and childcare workers in the BuzzFeed Community to share their experiences and horror stories dealing with the dreaded "iPad kids." The results will make you wish we were back to using telephones and box televisions: 1."The school I teach at has introduced iPads for all students (ages 11-18), and whilst the older kids are pretty good and use them for studying, the younger years cannot function without them. I'll walk through the school on my break and literally see groups of students sitting next to each other playing Minecraft and not talking to each other. They also can't handwrite legibly and will scream/swear at or physically attack adults who try to take away the iPad. Very sad. " —Anonymous, UK 2."My ex-boyfriend was (and is) a MAJOR iPad kid. I remember one day we were in class and I wanted to talk to him. I paused what he was watching, and he hissed at me. YES, HISSED LIKE A CAT. I ran to my other friend. She had this horrified look on her face. She asked me what the heck just happened, and I shrugged. Dodged a bullet there." —mrh9923 3."I work in a restaurant, and many of the people we serve are rich. I have a lot of tables where the kids are iPad kids, but one time, I was standing at a different table, and I heard the parents talking to their kids, and them whining about their cell phones. The mom kept saying 'not now' and then the kid just started screaming at the top of his lungs (he was 4 or 5) until she gave him her phone. That happens a lot, and it's so cringey and irritating." —Anonymous, 25, Santa Cruz, CA 4."Every time I go to a restaurant, there is always at least one table with a group of four people. Two parents, and two kids on iPads, the entire time watching god knows what. There isn't any conversation or interaction at the table. My generation sorta sucks." —combustionmann159 5."I babysit an iPad kid. They only hired me to find activities to distract them from their iPads so they don't have to deal with fallout. Anyway, they need parental controls because that 8-year-old has been exposed to too much. For example, one time he asked me if my sister and her boyfriend ever got naked and kissed. He's said a handful of sexualized comments that make me worried about the stuff he's watching." —Anonymous, 22, Vermont 6."Grandad brings in an iPad in a Defender Otterbox with the screen shattered. Little Timmy (he's 4 years old) got mad because someone killed him on Fortnite, so he smashed the iPad. Okay, we can repair the screen. Take it out of the Otterbox to get the model number off the it goes from an iPad to an iBoomerang. Yes. The little rabid tyke literally BENT THE IPAD in his rage, and the Otterbox was the only thing keeping it straight. "I gave it back to Grandpa and told him we couldn't repair it. He looked at me and asked, 'Well, what the hell am I supposed to do with it?' I'm not going to tell my response here, but these children are DEMONS with iPads." —thesettledpirate Related: Where Do You Fall On These Controversial "Would You Rather" Questions? 7."My brother once got so mad at playing Roblox, he started screaming and crying, then he struck the iPad with his knee, snapping it in half with glass shards flying like grenade shrapnel, breaking the iPad I use for school." —Anonymous 8."I work in childcare over the summers and had a camper who I knew was a bit of an iPad kid. He was always drawing the guys from the Minecraft YouTube videos he would watch. Well, camp ended for the summer, and I came back the next year, delighted to see this camper had returned, but was perplexed to see that he'd returned having developed a British accent. I asked him about it, and he said he'd started speaking with the accent because of how much Minecraft YouTube he watched." —Anonymous Related: Which Disney Princess Are You? Build A $500 Outfit To Find Out 9."My son was an iPad kid. I say 'was' because he stopped using it (not by choice) at age 14. This was because I found an email printed out when I was cleaning his bedroom from a girl named 'Kiloni.' I was shocked because I had never heard of this girl before, and I had never seen anything on his iPad that showed him communicating outside of friends' texts. The email was obviously from a gold digger as she stated how much she wanted to 'do things' with him, but they couldn't be together unless he paid for her flight from London. It stated the various 'ideas' she had been thinking about, such as how he would never want to leave her and how she would leave him satisfied. I searched and found many more emails, each more suggestive than the last. "When my son finally got the nerve to ask me for money, I confronted him and took away the iPad. I don't think kids should have technology unless they're old enough to buy it themselves! Parents, don't let your kids become iPad kids." —Anonymous 10."About a month ago, my wife and I were trying to talk to our daughter. She was looking down at her iPad (I'm not surprised). When I looked down to see what she was watching, she was watching 'Last to Pee Wins'!?!?? I don't know what she's doing, but it concerns me." —Anonymous, 37 11."Most iPad kids play mobile games and watch PBS all day, right? Well, not my niece. She's 6, and has had an iPad since age 4 (good job, parents) and somehow has managed to find succinct, toddler-digestible versions of Marxist literature. I work in service, and the last time I talked about my job around her, she told me that I'm 'a slave for the upper class.' I have no idea if she even knows what she means, but it's hilarious either way. On several occasions, she has also brought shockingly nuanced takes on class-related issues, for a 6-year-old. I'm not joking. Keep in mind, this girl doesn't know her multiplication tables." —Anonymous, 29, Wisconsin 12."I've watched kids walking around in stores with their iPads (on full volume, no less) glued to their faces. They aren't watching where they're going and will crash into stuff and lose their parents because they fall behind. They'll scream if the parent tries to take it away." —Anonymous 13."I'm a kindergarten teacher, so I have no shortage of stories of kids who fight tooth and nail every time we need to put away the iPads and switch to a different activity in class. my husband and I visited Disney World last summer with our best friend. We kept running into this same family, and every time we saw them, their early-elementary-age kid was glued to his iPad. As we were boarding a ride and getting ready to move, he still had his tablet in his hand, blasting noise from a game with bright light coming off of it. I very politely asked them to put it away, and mom snatched it from him, turned it over in her lap, and snapped back at me, 'YOU'RE WELCOME!' "During the ride, the kid fidgeted and asked his mom how long he would stay and if she could give him back the iPad. When we finally finished the ride, she just handed it right back to him and loudly complained to the rest of her family that we child-free adults shouldn't be taking up precious Disney space for people who do have kids, because we have no idea what it's like. Meanwhile, I'm thinking, 'I'm literally an elementary teacher, and your kid is so brainwashed they can't even be engaged with fricking DISNEY WORLD!'" —Anonymous, 25, VA 14."My spoiled cousin was at my graduation party with an iPad. My aunt tried to take it from her because my grandmother was starting a speech. She took the iPad, and my cousin, who was 5, started screaming and crying. Then picked up a plate of pasta and threw it on the ground. Then she ran to me to beg me to ask her mom to give it back to her, because I'd been babysitting her since she was an infant. When I said no, she smacked my glass of RED wine onto me in my $120 white dress that I had to return the next day." "Afterward, my aunt and uncle took her outside, then proceeded to Venmo me $150 for the dress and emotional damage. On top of the $ 200 they gave me for graduating from college." —echobri younger sibling (seventh grade) tells me horror stories of iPad kids, and I am SHOCKED. The worst one is in science class, where kids have their computers out constantly. I don't just mean they won't put them away, I mean they're on them the entire period, have full on screaming battles with the teacher and each other about it, and get sent to the office about once a day because they're so addicted to their computers they'll do anything to stay on them. These kids are also exposed to so much stuff at such a young age that they don't know how to talk without using brainrot words, or cursing, or just saying plain inappropriate things, and they don't know how to hold a real conversation. I asked one of my siblings' friends a question about a sticker on his water bottle that I found interesting, and he said, 'Yeah, it's a sticker,' and went right back to playing whatever he was playing, STILL WITH HIS HEADPHONES IN. I am so ready for this era to be over." —mellowbutterfly188 things feel a little grim after reading these, here's a dash of hope from a BuzzFeed Community member: "I don't want to sound smug about it — I'm just trying to reassure you that there are still kids out there who aren't addicted to their screens. My kids sat through almost three hours of a band festival with only a book and a piece of paper on the most cramped bleachers. Play the long game — kids won't need devices if they have toys, parental attention, and time to imagine. My kids are far from perfect, but I think they'll be good members of society. And the same is true for many of their friends. There's still hope!" —putzik47 Do you have an "iPad kid" horror story? Tell us in the comments below!
