Not unusual dito sa Pinas. Ewan ko ba why people would skimp so much on money not to maintain their trucks.

"Nawalan daw ng preno"

In my opinion, this is a classic and tragic case of brake-fade. Brake fade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heavy truck, going down a steep road, in-experienced driver, busy intersection = Tragedy!

it's not brake fade

the driver used up all the air in the air tank (for the air brake)

AFAIK .. the air tank should always be full (of air) when the engine (of the truck) is running. The air pump is belt driven, or gear driven in other engines hence the only thing that should stop it from supplying air to the air tank of the brake system is when the engine is off. Or there's an air-leak in the system, ruptured hose/pipe etc. In the event of an airleak, the brakes are designed to fully engage, thus bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. From dead stop, without adequate air pressure, a truck's emergency brake will not disengage. Hence trucks if parked overnight or for a long time it cannot "start-and-go", they would have to be warmed over to build up air pressure within the brake system, longer if they're towing a trailer.

That buzzing sound most people hear when they are near trucks is the sound of "excess" air being vented by the check valves of the brake system. We run International Harvester and Peterbilt trucks, so I am aware of this safety feature. Maybe Japanese trucks are different?

The safest way if that situation happens is for the driver to downshift to a lower gear, until such a time that he regains total control of the vehicle. If the driver used up all the air in his tanks, then the scenario is very subjective.
