Rolling fast, 2 trucks' brakes failed on the descent until they overturned

This looks to be a "repackage and repeat" version of the video's you've posted in
the past.

Here in the US, the grades on the East coast are shorter, but often steeper than the miles long grades in the Western US. In all cases, a big truck driver can get into trouble in a hurry if they're not paying attention. Here, a driver can 'red flag" a rig, and then tell his company that the truck needs brake repair before it's driven again. IMO, unless there is some big mechanical failure, the responsibility for a truck losing it's brakes rests solely on the driver.

I Didn't Re-Look Before Posting This Response

The Coal Truck Just Happened yesterday and the other one was supposedly the same day .

That crashed rig at 4:05 looked like it had an old auto bumper jammed underneath it.
