Considering what it takes to pull this of, it's mind blowing to think there haven't been any accidents, but it speaks to the care, planning & driving abilities of these guys.

    Hey Ed, just wanted to say that your channel is amazing. I think an unintended consequence of this repository for automotive insanity you’ve created is that it’s bringing the car community together through these stories. It’s the type of things we used to hear from our parents/mentors in the car community, and creating a platform to share those stories enriches and deepens the automotive culture that we all share. I just wanted to say thank you, as much of a kiss up as this is.

      It's called TCAS. Traffic Collision Avoidance System. At least I hope they were using TCAS and not ADS-B (Automated Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) At this point, ADS-B is voluntary and I promise LEOs are not opting in until they have to because cannonballers are the very least dangerous people you don't want knowing about your surveillance.
