That almost happened to me once while me and my friend where biking to the skatepark, the road was really tiny and I was basically riding near the white line and a mack truck didn't want to move a bit and came so close, the wind of it stopped me in my tracks

Pretty sure it's fake, part of his arm disappears into the bus.

Fake. You can see the green screen.

This exact thing happened to me once. It took me a few minutes to realize wtf just happened and then a few days to process it.

I was in Peru and our bus driver would pass fuel trucks around corners and then wait to the last second to pull back into our lane narrowly missing Semi trucks coming the other way. We sat in the second row upfront so we could look out the windshield. I had to sit with my ass checks clenched ass hard ass I could so I didn’t shit my pants. I won’t even tell you what out mini bus tires looked like when we got a ride back to town after a week climbing in the mountains. Those will bring terrifying images in your dreams for years.

nobody talking about how skilled is this bus driver
AlexBurke1 t1_j4d0ekc wrote
It looks like he did move a split second before the newscaster, and that may have even subconsciously tipped off the newscaster guy that something was coming.
Zincster t1_j4d2t5a wrote
Right? He got as close as possible to the reporter without hitting him giving the bus enough room to pass an oncoming bus.

I hope he realizes how close he was to losing an arm.
Raevix t1_j4dkn9t wrote
Even if you ARE skilled enough to thread the needle between an oncoming car and a bystander with his back turned to you...
Maybe you just slow down anyway and let the oncoming car pass and DON'T give the bystander a surprise shave?
WatashiWaWado t1_j4dln9s wrote
Surprised the truck didn’t roll over his Massive Steel Testicles getting so close like that

bsqchris t1_j4dm6yk wrote
Agree. Completely fake. You can see part of his arm disappear when the bus “drives past”

That bus turned around really fast!
Zincster t1_j4doy4o wrote
That was one of the jokes my Grandpa would make when I was learning to drive. We would drive by a pedestrian and he would say "You missed them by a mile!"

Neither his shirt or his hair move from the air movement that would be generated by the bus.
So I'm calling fake.

That’s why I never bike or ride on roads. So many people looking at their phones not caring that they are like a foot away from you.

[deleted] t1_j4e2vkc wrote
It's probably just luck. A skilled bus driver would slow down.
stephen01king t1_j4e2von wrote
His shirt definitely rippled from the air pressure. Try slowing it down at the moment the bus passes him and look at the shirt below his right shoulder.

Reminds me of walking around Kochi, India where sidewalks are nonexistent. First time a bus (people call them red killers there for a reason) passed me like that my whole life flashed before my eyes but after it happened again and again in a span of a short 15 minute walk it just felt like a mild inconvenience mostly due to the dirt and sand that follows the bus and hits the back of your neck when it passes.

You've never been to Latin America, have you? The only thing a bus driver slows down for is a paying customer wanting to get on.
throwawhatwhenwhere t1_j4g28si wrote
No, it doesn't. The blurring between similar colors is an artifact of digital lossy compression.
Using a greenscreen would be no reason for the effect you are describing anyway. You can point to some suspicious things happening here but the arm disappearing into the bus isn't one of them.
SarcasticAssClown t1_j4g2ihw wrote
What's supposed to happen, he has "Dios es mi guia" written clearly on the bus...
