Eddie, that picture of the car with one end tangled in power lines by the pole reminds me of one I saw in Dallas once on Northwest Highway. Best I can remember, I believe it was a 1954 Chevrolet sedan and it was sitting just off the road with the back bumper on the ground and the rest of the car almost perfectly centered on a guy wire to a utility pole. There was very little damage to anything, including the car, but it was easy to see that the car had gone all the way up the guy wire, hit the pole up near the top and slid back down to come to a rest, still on the guy wire, with the back bumper on the ground. I figure that had to be a very exciting ride for that driver.

Yikes!

I just put this one up in safety but what the heck.

What do you figure the guy in the shorts is thinking?

EPA field agent?

I think the guy in the shorts is thinking "I'm off to see the wizard If I only had a brain."

I just love the expression on his face and his body language. It's hiliarious.

Eddie, that pic of the woman who's standing beside the car that's suspended between the yacht and the dock is a classic too. She is posing like a tourist. I wonder if she was the driver!

I wonder if they removed the nail from that guy's head with the back end of a claw hammer. Maybe they laid a bit of plywood on his head so it wouldn't get dented.

I love the buried fire hydrant.

As my grand father used to say, measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk and cut it with the chain saw (or in that case the K12 saw).

(He was a federal government QA inspector. )

I chuckled when I saw the service truck crushed underneath the mining truck. That was pretty common in surface mines. Some maintenance guy would pull up real close to our 170 tonners (don't think about walking 20 feet) and the haul truck driver could not see him and would usually pancake the service truck. I think out of the 200 or so light vehicles I managed we had about 2 or 3 a year that left the property considerably shorter than normal
