I have questions

A freight train collided with an 18-wheeled semi-truck carrying a military vehicle Thursday afternoon in in Goose Greek, South Carolina.

Why do you have questions ?

An incompetent 18 wheeler driver was on the track when a train was coming.

Not hard to figure out

well that would be one of my first q's as in, what the hell was he thinking....

Hey, things are looking up. No one called it a tank, which is what most ill-informed reporters would call it. Now quick, someone call the turret mechanic (and then some).

my guess it high centered on the trailer and got stuck. detachable neck w/ very low deck it doesn't take much.

Dammit, every one of these links to FOXNEWS.com article requires me to disable my ad blocker to see it and I refuse to do that. I miss many linked articles, but just refuse to allow 'Corp' anything to force me to operate my computer the way they want it. Old school and stubborn maybe, but I'm not interested in any learning curve to get around it, and especially not interested in having to watch more unwanted advertisements. My apology to anyone I may have offended!

I'm thinking that SP Howitzer will end up on the firing range. As a target.

I'm sure the driver of the Howitzer can't sit comfortably right now!

truckers fault, 1000%.

there are signs posted about the crossings, and if not due to maybe vandals removing them, it is the trucker that must LOOK at the road for gouge marks, indicating high center.

gonna be a big insurance claim if it was a working military vehicle, on it's way to a base, and if not, if decommissioned, the new private owner can still sue the trucking company, and the trucker himself.

no matter what, it falls on the trucker.

and God help him, if it was a military truck, with a soldier hauling it........

maybe a tour of the Aleutian Islands will do him some good.

or get himself transferred for 12 months to that top secret base in Antarctica

Looks like a Paladin to me. The new models don't even have to emplace before they shoot.

i didn't see the video, there was an issue with it for me, but that does appear to be an owner-operator truck.

i sure do hope his insurance coverage can handle this....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mandated limit for most classes of business is $750,000. However, most shippers and freight brokers will require that you maintain a minimum insurance coverage of $1 million.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there was "talk" years ago of upping it to 5 million, but i haven't kept up with the news on that.

i'm sure those contractors that get to repair machinery for the gooberment will seek a cool pay day.
