Happened to me once early in my career. I was working as tech support at a manufacturing plant. As I'd be walking around a lot fixing things I got to know everyone fairly well. Manuel was the production manager. A nice guy, always seemed relaxed but always got shit done. He had been working there for about six months. One morning I get in and hear the news from the somewhat insensitive IT manager, can't even remember how he said it, just remember not liking him at all after that. About an hour earlier Manuel had been waiting at a round-a-bout. A semi carrying a load of fuel comes down from an off ramp approaching the round-a-bout and the breaks begin to fail. The truck driver attempts to veer but then the trailer starts to skid and pivot. It crashed to the ground in front of Manuel's car and everything explodes. I drive past where it happened every time I go to visit my folks. It's been at least 15 years. Someone is still putting flowers there.
