Just talked to dad on the phone a few minutes ago about a few topics. One really caught my attention and since we've got quite a few truckers in the family, thought you all would enjoy this one.
A canyon inferno,
Truck with explosives tears out a 30-foot crater on U.S. 6
Here are some highlights,
A truck with a team on it and 35,500 pounds of explosives goes around a corner too fast on a road near Spanish Fork, Utah, lays over on its side, catches fire, 3 minutes later explodes creating a 30 foot deep by 70 foot wide crater! WWWWWOOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHH!!! Approximately 9 are injured - none seriously.
The real bug-a-boo about this is the Utah State Patrol admitted that this is a bad corner. At least one truck a month gets into a wreck there.
"And they haven't changed it 'WHY'???" Amazing.
Anyway - if you have some time check out the article - very interesting story! :)
