One shall not proceed.

Guy in the cart slowed you down just enough lol
U
Would have been on the other side if it not for cartman
S
God damn it Cartman!
U
Screw you guys, I’m going home
C
My name is not myam
G
Not if it’s on the other side of that road you aren’t.
S
It was about to fail. I think the car driving over it would have set it off and really hurt the driver. Suddenly stopping or getting launched at speed would be pretty bad

You can see it moving in the video before he gets to it. Driving over it probably wouldn’t have set it off, because it was already failing.

Does anyone know what happened?
M
Thermal expansion of the concrete with no expansion joints

Yup, pressure wants to go somewhere and all it takes is a little stress to give it somewhere to go. If I had to guess, the pressure wave of the vehicle slowing down shot forward through the material, then it got pulled back while it was accelerating, and crack!
T
Lmao what
T
so when you apply brakes to your vehicle you have the friction against the brake drum, but you also have the friction of your vehicle’s wheels against the ground. when you’re slowing down, you’re also applying a forwards pressure wave in the material underneath you. that road was hot as balls and it had no expansion joints so it was already under a massive amount of stress compression from the slow, release from the drive, because your wheels pull on the road to make you go forward, and bam. the vast majority of that force was stored in the concrete, all it needed was the right circumstances to blow up

I’m guessing that with just the right vibrations – could have been the car, the lorry, or a standing wave caused by both) – the concrete just about got triggered.
A
It has an expansion joint now
O
Also, that is a thick ass slab – Mother Nature is wicked!
S
Excellent reply. I’ve lived in rural China and I always wondered why there was such a big gap between each segment of concrete. It makes for a rough ride on a scooter. Now I know. 👍

The cart dude was an earth bender and he collects a toll for all those who pass by
B
Earthbending children playing pranks
C
Guess they scrapped the side of that kart… which little did they know the owner practices earth bending in their free-time.
R
My cabbages!!!
K
Sounds painful.
B
Someone delved too greedily and too deep.
T
Expansion joints: who needs them?

This same thing [just happened in Missouri](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzGtBJXcytY) a couple of weeks ago.
E
Damnnn. And that road has expansion joints. Do you know how hot it was that day?
E
Tremors?!
I
It’s a goddamn graboid
S
“They’re getting smarter by the minute!”
N
So that’s where the earth benders are.
S
What’s the song? It’s catchy and calming.
C
Ever find out?
S
Nope
A
Bo Liang – Bruce Lee. From below comment
R
Should edit Toph on the other side to make it look like she’s stopping him.
A
He clearly hasnt unlocked that area of the map yet
W
I knew an earthbender’s hiding in town!
J
They should go thank the driver of the vehicle that they had to slow down to pass. Otherwise, they may have been right over that when it blew.

The song is Bruce Lee – Bo Liang

Love a good ol gandalf reference

just in time

Second time this month that J have seen a road bucking

Guy on the side of the road is an earth bender.

Pop it like it’s hot 🎵
S
Could be methane, I used to live in a house built over a swamp and our floors would buckle at least 2x per year
