A witness captured video of a tanker exploding on I-5 in Downtown Seattle Not a tanker, it was a truck hauling welding cylinders. Hopefully the link works.

Found a better link. I-5 in Seattle reopens after truck carrying liquid oxygen catches fire, explodes

Yeah that was a mess. Good thing it didn't happen a few miles away under the convention center. Turns out the diesel emissions garbage caused it. It's the main reason there are so many truck fires now.

You're driving a truck, doing your job. A small vehicle runs a stop sign and ends up in front of you and you can't stop. Six teens die.

Do you ever drive a truck again?

Something similar happened .about 2 miles from here, except it was an extremely drunk woman who ran into a tractor trailer head on. She was northbound, he was southbound and just pulling away from the curb. He never drove again.

Contrast that to another driver I know who was overloaded when a log hit a bridge, knocking it off and killing the motorist behind him. He still drives truck, and routinely runs 20-30K lbs overweight.

About a month ago, in Auburn, I saw a small logging truck come to a stop at a light; well, the truck came to a stop, and one log kept going out into the intersection. Thankfully it didn't hit anyone, but it was like seeing something out of Hollywood, very odd and a bit surreal. There wasn't a trace of anything when I came back through 20 minutes later; got to clean the mess up before anyone notices.

It was a small Ford, like this one...

A tanker burns on the main highway through Montreal Canada. This is in the center of the city. IIRC driver died.
Bit of a long video but interesting to watch the progression and the people around it.
Different angles/cameras and really gets going around 6 min.

Nothing really being done wrong in this picture - just thought it was kind of funny that his car was so small that he couldn't fit it inside snd had to strap it to the back to carry it.

The better half and I were out for a drive today in the country and drove by a half ton hauling a tractor on a duel axle trailer. Pretty normal thing to see except this guy had a fairly large vintage tractor on his trailer , the type with the 2 front wheels close together. It had rear tires that were at least 5 feet tall . I did a double take because he had the tractor loaded on an angle with one rear tire on the bed and the other rear tire up on the checker plate fender ( which had a fair bend in it from the weight ) . It was too wide for the trailer .He was not going particularly slow around the corner that I met him on either. Hope he got to where he was going. Seemed like an accident waiting to happen .
