do we know what year the vehicle was? because new vehicle are designed to crumble up and take the energy in to the frame and protect the passanger compartment with special reinforced steels to try and do exactly this . This is the most extreem i have ever seen , so would be interesitng to know what year exactly it was , if it had to do with only not being his time or if the engeneering of the vehilce had a role in this.

I think it's more just blind luck Intrade, since the passenger side of the passenger compartment most certainly did not withstand the force. Safety engineering or not, I don't think that 30 or 40 ton (or whatever those 18 wheelers carry) is going to matter slamming into you whether you drive an old rustbox or the safest car in the world.
