Truck Driver Doesn’t See Train Coming, Oversized Load OBLITERATED
Sometimes, things just simply don’t go according to plan. However, for one person at work, when things don’t go according to plan, the result will be a lot more catastrophic than if another person ends up in the same debacle. I guess it all depends on the job at hand!
For example, a trucker carrying an oversized load is a prime candidate for catastrophe if the plan doesn’t exactly pan out. This time, video footage captured an incident as a trucker carrying a wind turbine blade ended up in an incredibly tight situation and couldn’t really do much to work his way out of it once the ball got rolling.
From the look of things, it seems as if this trailer ended up being cut a little bit too close to a railroad sign. Naturally, the trucker was hesitant to run over the sign and just keep rolling – you’d have to be a madman to do that.
However, that hesitation flew right out of the driver’s mind when a train started to come by. However, by the time the truck began to move forward, attempting to move the blade from the train tracks, it was just a little bit too late.
Down below, we follow the crazy moment as the speeding train can’t really do much to stop. Instead, the train plows straight through the blade, causing mass chaos as somebody is definitely going to have to do a little bit of explaining.
It might’ve been a narrow margin. However, catching the edge of the blade was all that the train had to do in order to completely wreak havoc. Fortunately, at the end of the day, nobody involved in the situation would end up being seriously injured. However, we would very much be willing to bet that this is one that nobody involved is going to soon forget about.
