And physics saved the day… And the truck driver!!

Duenne Innes, the man in charge of F-22 development, saved driver with basic physics.

So, this guy was in his minivan with passengers (Apparently his family) when he noticed the truck driving at 40 MPH. What a man to do? Avoid it, right?

Well, that’s not his case, he went ahead, let it rear end him and stopped both vehicles thinking basic physics: “If he rear ended me, the delta difference in speed would be so little where he can stop both vehicles”.

How many of us think would think in a physical approaches in these cases?
How many of us thought “Physics is useless in our real life”? I know I sort of did xD

  1. I guarantee you that he is either a physicist or a nerd! Not because he knew that, but because that’s what he first thought of when he became anxious! same goes for us geeks, when we encounter anything, we usually try to fix the problem with something that has a relation with computers! … If you dont, uhh, i know that’s what happenes when i get anxious!! That, along with some ‘!!!’ XD
