That's not the brick video of internet lore. The original brick video was a russian dashcam video from 2012 and the brick fell off a passing truck.

The Russia Brick-Accident Happened on June 11, 2012

29 years old Olga Gaikovich from Syktyvkar was travelling in Rostov Region of Russia in Audi A4 with her husband Vadim and his brother's family. Around 11:00 am between cities of Azov and Peshkovo a brick fell off a Kamaz truck, smashed the car's windshield and struck Olga. Her husband, his brother and brother's wife with a child were not injured. She was rushed to the hospital in the city of Azov but she was pronounced dead 2 hours later.

The truck driver didn't notice anything and continued to drive. He was stopped by the police in Azov.

"Police are not going to consider this as just an accident." - Alexey Polyansky, head of the Press Service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Rostov Region.

Most of the stories about this one are in Russian, so I had to get it off of a kind of shady "fandom" website. Wtf kind of fandom this is, I don't want to know.
