O viață pe drum: Povestea lacrimogenă a șoferilor profesioniști români

Aceasta este o categorie de produse mortale care sunt transportate pe șosele. Într-o dimineață întunecată, când orașul încă dormea, un camion imens își începe călătoria pe șosele pustii. La volan, un șofer profesionist român, cu ochii obosiți și inima grea, se pregătește să transporte mărfuri periculoase. Această meserie, aparent banală pentru cei din afară, ascunde o realitate cruntă, plină de…

I just think it is interesting to point out that an American man who shot another American man in America with an American gun has so far eluded authorities by using public transportation.

The National Transportation Safety Board, in a post calling for "Technology to Reduce Speeding in All New Cars", November 2023:

On Jan. 29, 2022, a 2018 Dodge Challenger entered an intersection near North Las Vegas, Nevada, against a red traffic signal with a vehicle recorded speed of 103 mph, causing a multivehicle collision with five other vehicles. Seven occupants of a minivan and the Challenger’s driver and passenger died as a result of the crash. 

The image above shows a 3D scan of the minivan involved in the collision.

“This crash is the latest in a long line of tragedies we’ve investigated where speeding and impairment led to catastrophe, but it doesn’t have to be this way,” said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. “We know the key to saving lives is redundancy, which can protect all of us from human error that occurs on our roads. What we lack is the collective will to act on NTSB safety recommendations.”

Bawling my eyes out at the thought of Dick’s last bit of parting advice for Damian on how to be Bruce’s Robin (before he went back to blud) being “just pretend to fall asleep during a stake out. Trust me”

Of course Damian’s sceptical and it takes him a long time to even THINK about making himself look that vulnerable but his curiosity eventually wins and he pretends to fall asleep during a boring night.

He thought he was prepared for all possibilities but he was not prepared for Bruce to call out his name, sigh softly and scoop him up, not letting go of him even once until they reach his bed (he will never admit it but he actually did end up falling asleep). He was absolutely not prepared for Bruce to take his shoes off, tuck him in and hesitate just a little second before giving him a forehead kiss and leaving the room silently. He ends up actually falling asleep on the very next week
