Is Keanu Reeves' iconic motoring movie Speed just fake film physics? When a bus is moving at over 50 miles per hour, will the bus flip unless the passengers move to the inside of the turn?

…a semi trailer shave?	Plausible	The trailer shaved the roof of the car clean off, resulting in an "instant convertible". Due to a breaking system failure, the car was unable to stop and flew out of the test range after hitting a ramp. Kari, Grant and Tory declared the myth "Plausible" after evaluating the wreckage of the car.
