Brass Balls

Toolman286

A news camera man in Texas filmed a tractor-trailer accident, as it headed directly at him. He panned, zoomed & backed it out again, without flinching. The truck looks to have stopped very close to him. This takes a real set of brass. I'm sure there were a lot of dirty shorts at this scene.

I hope that trucker has good insurance. He is gonna owe a lot of money to a lot people.

It is a said that time is money, but in this case a little more time spent going slower would have saved a lot of money.

That camera was on a tripod. (A tripod with remote control, but not a handheld camera.) Operator was probably in the news van closeby.

They interviewed the cameraman a day later. Yes, the camera was on a tripod, but he was with it until he finally decided to run for safety. Or as one could say, "exit, stage left."
