This is going to go down in TV/Soap history as one of the biggest 'Holy Sh*t' moments of all time. It was just straight up traumatic and we're still not sure we've recovered.
First of all, a round of applause for everyone involved on the show because these stunts really were on the Hollywood blockbuster level. No more CGI helicopters and obvious crash test dummies on this show, oh no.
Even Twitter was full of praise for the show as jaws collectively dropped around the world.
Shit. That was fucking intense 😩ðŸ'¥ #emmerdale when did you become a Hollywood action movie 😂😂

At least one character is set to die as the result of Emma Barton's outburst on the overpass and if you're in the mood for trying to figure out who that is, here's the scene again (if your heart/stomach can handle it).
