Explosion all over the country tx lost 18 thousand Cows in a dairy , There were 3 explosion Effecting our infrastructure And food Supply I one week ! Did the co give To Republicans ? I wonder how these accident keep happening Week after week with no end insight
What a terrifying sight. Condolences so sad. Keep the very best tires on your car and in good condition. Still no guarantees.. I’ve had flats on quite new tires fortunately never a blowout.
My Condolences out to the family of that truck driver and the truck driver! Connecticut car drivers get your vehicles check on a normal basis...Noone deserves to loose their life over negligence!
This is super close to where I went to college and this was a bridge I would take daily; year round in college. I can’t believe this happened so sorry for the person that died on this bridge. My condolences to his or her family.
Sorry, your belief is fake. God Almighty is true, because He is the one who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and this is in the Holy Qur’an and the only book that is not distorted. As for Jesus, he is just a human being like you and me. @@lizgrem8542

Probably, how long and if the metal trusses got on fire. The melting metal truss structure below will cause structural weakness. But most of it was on concrete, and that has a higher fire resistance
I drive a truck and most people in cars are great about helping me out but some folks act like they have no idea what they are doing. Give trucks a break and don’t linger in their blind spot. I’m not trying to say that had anything to do with this situation but it seemed like a good spot to raise awareness. 80,000 pounds does NOT stop fast and will destroy your car whatever you drive.

Since the driver of the car was "rescued", yes, the death ("deadly") was likely the truck driver who was at the wrong place at the wrong time just doing his job. Sympathy extended to his family.
That Bridge is a special design to keep it from collapsing straight down by the cables pulling it to the banks It was designed that way as to not block the Submarines from passage to the Sea. My Condolences to the Family of this accident.
_"passenger vehicle, tyre blew out, created an incident"_ And passenger cars in Connecticut are not required to have any safety inspections. Yay, freedom !
Well, I've had a tire blow due to a pothole on an interstate highway that the fascist RepubliNazi government wouldn't fix. The tire was barely a year old. They are finally fixing them since Biden got infrastructure funding passed that the orangutan promised but never delivered as usual.
I've massive fires up close twice in my life, and i can attest to the massive amounts of HEAT they put out, one was a GAS station and the other were 3 4 story apartment buildings all burning at once. And in both incidents, it looked super terrifying.
A life lost, people hurt, truck destroyed, car destroyed, 2200 gallons of fuel wasted, environmental damage, bridge damage.... dude says "I was sweating".
@@baselinecherokee6047 I see it every day and it makes me angry! Every day multiple times I see tops of heads, looking down at their phones, cars in the ditches! Just yesterday in Sunset beach North Carolina, 2 cars crashes because some women was distracted and hit and car and they both went off into the treas.
started night shift on this job 2 months ago. i drive slow because i don't want to rollover with 9000 gallons of fuel i'm pulling. ppl behind me get angry and honk and try to cut me off in rage. it's great feeling knowing the freeway i'm going has at least 4 empty lanes to maneuver and they don't want to change their lanes so they follow behind me for miles and miles until they get angry lol.
Yup, probably have to demolish the bridge and rebuild it. Anytime you heat metal, especially like in the video it bends or otherwise loses structural integrity.
Hopefully that tire blow out wasn't due to neglect of not maintaining their car. Reason I bring it up is because I was run off the side of the road by a guy with no insurance driving with bald tires, his front right went out and clipped my motorcycle making me fall on the asphalt. Didn't break any bones just major road rash and I had to repair the bike myself.
Probably due to the poor condition of the highway. A direct result of an orangutan's promises that he never kept as he was too busy tweeting to do his job.

Just the wrong thing to do as fire trucks were immediately behind me blaring the air horns trying to get by. I had to blow my horn to keep the other motorists moving. What is wrong with people?

I guarantee you the truck DID NOT "explode". The tank ruptured, and the fuel ignited, that's NOT an explosion. Reporters have to embellish everything these days... You also have to be very foolish to just drive by this so you can get TH-cam footage.

True because if they didn't and the people in them cars got into flames and people didn't get out before it did they will die from the car blow up.
