mycathas9livesTwo people killed in Texas after 350,000 pound load detaches from trailer, crushes vehicle: officials
I saw a picture of that… and how the fuck does a load like that with a bajillion trailers not have police or road flasher crews in front and behind to make sure no one passes it?
(The answer is cheaping out on both cost and safety on the shipper and sender’s part)
That is a fucking terrifying sight.
And absolutely it should’ve had vehicle escorts. That looks like a very expensive piece of process engineering equipment. Whoever is culpable is going to take a huge financial hit.
People dying of course is even worse, but the people making decisions only care about money – so let them wallow in the financial loss.
