This was pointed out by a school teacher --- How many movies/TV shows have you seen a tractor-trailer careening down a steep curvy moutain road "without any brakes" and always a shot is shown with the "driver" madly pumping the airless brakes however there's always enough air to endlessly blow the airhorn !!!
(Of course we all also know that when a trucks airbrake system loses air it causes the brake to actually engage the brake shoe onto the drum as the air actually pushes the shoe activator away from the drum !!!)
(If your a school teacher you may take a bow).
