Truck drivers are such idiots.

I hope the crew is okay. Of all the things to hit I think a fuel truck might be the only thing worse.

Add log trucks and cement mixers just below gasoline tankers. That 40 tonnes of concrete is waiting for you at eye level.

Thanks Calvin for breaking the news. Word of Warning "TO" has about a 2 minute wait to view what you clicked on.
Trying to drum up new subscribers as a Christmas Gift. Should be "from the cab" video available in near future of this.

 And Calvin quipped:

            i don't normally use Drain Oders  as news sources. I look up my own TV Video source.

As far as the wait, I know shortcut that works every year. add ,nodelay=1 to Notepad. 

Click what you want to read and then when the yellow screen shows up add  ,nodelay=1  to the end of the url and it will take you right tu the story just a couple clicks and no 2 min wait.

Had a crew hit a milk truck but they saw it and thought the worst. They freely confessed to diving into the floor and holding onto each other as they waited for the end

Hard to say what you might do when you figure your maker is the next one you will meet!

All I could think was how bad that would have been on some of that old power preceding the wide bodies.

I think I'd have made a beeline for the cab floor....might be a little breathing room there after the cab gets squashed. But I bet the frame on that head end widebody got sprung bad enough that she will be scrapped.

Looks like the cab/nose "not crumpled" almost new except for the concrete dust.

The cab was just beat up for sure...but I bet the reaction was to sproing the whole frame....that impact energy has to go somewhere...
