Still, the sensationalist in me will admit: I'm glad it was caught on video.

I don't know if it's true, but it sure as hell would be awesome if it was.

And as they are driving on the right hand side of the road it's definitely not Britain.

Also I can only imagine the southern states needing storm drains of that size given the hurrican season they have. Fantastic video too...

That was totally worth the view — nice find. Standing close to natural geysers is scary even when they're small, this eruption is like some of the largest geysers in Iceland — so I can't imagine how scary it is to be driving at 90kmph almost directly into one. Amazing that it appear to have only resulted in one car crash. It also seems the owner of the truck gets caught in the second eruption. Wow! That was totally worth the view — nice find.
