What's this about?:__** This Page is about Reckless Dumping of items from overpasses. There have many cases every year regarding thing getting thrown or things falling over, overpasses. What people don't realize is that, many people have died or have become injured for the rest of thier lifes because of theses accidents. Because of these cases we have provided statistics, a sample scenario calculations and photographs to express the importance of being carefull while traviling under overpasses. [|Dog Thrown Over an Overpass]
 * __Research:__** Cases when things happened with Overpasses

[|Woman Killed By Ice]
**Harrison is late for work and is drinking a cup of tea. He is traveling to southern France. He is approaching the underpass on the Millau Viaduct. He is driving 29.05 m/s and is going at a constant speed. Harrison is approaching an overpass that is 270m high and sees a truck spin out of control that is carrying logs. The logs began to fall off the truck and a log falls over the overpass as Harrison approaches. The log is falling at a acceleration of 9.8m/S2. It takes Harrison 6s to reach the overpass. Harrison spills his hot tea and is unaware of the falling log. How may seconds would it take for the log hit the car from the overpass**.
 * __Scenario:__**

__key points__ 29.05m/s --> overpass 270m A of 9.8m/s^2

29.05m/s=velocity 270m height of over pass Acceleration of log is 9.8m/s^2
 * __The Calculations;__**

7.42s
 * __How may seconds would it take for the log hit the car from the overpass?__**

Don't drink tea and drive nd always make sure the items that you are carrying on vehicle are secured. For cases where children drop things off overpasses, you must realize that, with a impact like that, you could severely hurt or even kill someone.
 * __Avoid the Problem:__**

[|Trucks and Debris] This relates to Kinematics, because knowing the time, displacement, acceleration, velocity, and the position of an object, you can determine when certain situations are going to happen. This relates to Kinematics, because if the driver knew the displacement and the time it would take for the log to hit the car, he could avoid have a dent in his car or broken window shield depending on where the log hit.
