I'm thinking it must be the same video, an older Blazer I think (I looked, but I'm not that great at vehicle identification). They show it from time to time on "shocking video" shows. There was a thread about this a year or two ago on Dweb.

I have no idea but it looks like something like that happened. I can't see someone WANTING to go down that fast.   Paul D.

It was also the first major incedent on LB. There have only been a couple since and they always involved the driver being impaired. It is certainly safer than this video shows, but it still prttyy hectic all the same.   Greg French (Gregfrench) Senior Member Username: Gregfrench Post Number: 512 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 09:35 am:    Wasn't the wife driving? I believe it was their anniversary or something.   Eric Pena (Evalp) Senior Member Username: Evalp Post Number: 572 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 11:37 am:    I think honeymoon.   Tim (Snowman) Senior Member Username: Snowman Post Number: 500 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 02:48 pm:    I believe they walked away from it but obviously beaten up a bit. The brakes did fail and it has been on the various "shocking vididiots" shows many times.   Peter Matusov (Pmatusov) Senior Member Username: Pmatusov Post Number: 904 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 10:52 am:    it's been beat to death here. if you guys search archives for LB, you'll find a bunch of info on this couple. There was nothing idiotic about this occurence, except (maybe) husband leaning over to the driver side and knocking the truck out of gear. The lady actually had guts to do it again, IIRC it was some time last year.
