We had all 5 seats full and were headed down the freeway behind a semi. The rear set of duals on the trailer had a football-sized chunk of concrete stuck between the tires. It came loose and embedded itself in the center of the Maxima's windshield. The windshield actually caught the rock, and stopped it. My brother was in a carseat in the middle rear seat, and the rock would have gone right through his head if it hadn't been stopped.
I was in the back seat when it happened, reading a magazine and not looking up. I heard my parents gasp/swear and then there was a crunching boom noise, and the whole cabin filled with dust. Since we had just left home, we just turned around and drove it back like that.
I had a 80mph tire hit the hood of my moms car when I was a kid. I was in the front seat and actually put my hands and knees up bracing myself before it hit. If we were less than half a second earlier... right through the windshield it wouldve gone.
