What's so amazing about these types of accidents is that all of that weight is hanging on a 2" pin!

Worked as a truck mechanic when I was young. Had a wrecked semi tractor come in on a flatbed that hit a concrete overpass support head on. Force of the impact actually bent the cast fifth wheel plate but it did not shear that pin!

Wow! Thanks for posting.

Wow! Thanks for posting.

There is a good U-Tube, showing the actual driver rescue.

OMG. That was one hell of place to take a hard left turn and thread the needle. I bet the seat got wrinkled for sure.

 

[GSD-Keegan]

Thanks Fried, found one.

Fontain kingpin.

I hope the driver had good service so he could surf the web..... while waiting for the hook.

Personally, I think I'd do a cannon ball and swim to shore.

I take that back.....

I would go for the Mummy case dive.... at lot easier landing at that height.

The woman you are making negative connotations about is a military veteran. Probably has more real life experience then you are giving her credit for!

Yes, I agree, and I meant no negative insults in saying the driver was a female. Wasnt my intention on the direction of this thread, and I thank her for her service.

My truck freight stuff normally is delivered by a female driver, and she drives better than any other guy that delivers to me.

I made NO negative comments.

Your perception is negative.

shame on you.

Perhaps I had a negative perception.

So explain what your point was with your comment, "That explains a LOT" when you responded to the previous comment, "Driver is a She" ?

Maybe he was referring to the fact that many MOM’s go thru tortuous events raising children EVERY DAY…while remaining Collected and Focused on the Task at Hand.

(might collapse afterwards…but …no criticism from me! My Mom probably didn’t want what she got from me…but she stood by me when it counted.)

2 other cars wrecked and she tried to avoid them.
