iPhone 1 - Semi-Truck 0

Check out this Flickr photo story. Mike Beauchamp, the man with the mighty iPhone, made the mistake of leaving his iPhone on the trunk of his car. After driving for a while, he realized his phone was nowhere to be found. iPhone broken

To make a long story short, he found his iPhone, in the center of the interstate. Before he could retrieve it, he watched a Semi-Truck run it over. Oh the humanity.

I have dropped my phone a time or two, and it is fine. That is more than I can say about my own Blackberry Pearl. I dropped that one day, and the faceplate shattered.

I knew the iPhone was tough, but I did not know it was Semi-truck tough. What is the worst you have put your iPhone through? Did it survive? By the way, thanks Mike for sharing your iPhone nightmare with us.
