@threeby8887 Thank you so much ... it especially means so much to me at this time of year. My Daddy was only 40 years old, I was 15 and my brother 16. As little girls do, I worshipped my Daddy and this day was the saddest day of my life. I will see him again, that I know. I thank you for your kindness. Those words mean so much to me. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my Daddy and our loss.

The Houston Chronicle did a retrospective on this accident today. Here's some pictures of the accident, including the huge white cloud. From my perspective of where the Pearl Beer sign used to be, that cloud has stretch from Fountainview/S. Rice well past Newcastle - maybe to Weslayan. That's c. a 2 linear-mile cloud of death. Remarkable.

My Daddy was driving the tractor-trailer that this tractor-trailer landed on ... he died instantly. This video makes me very sad.

We liveed within 1 mile of accident. i was 8 1/2 months pregnant and for some reason had called in sick to work that day or would have been right there, we were all told to evacuate and i started running with 2 kids under my arms. This caused me to go into labor about 10 hours later and had trouble getting to hospital, she was born as they were running down the hall with me. I have told her this story for years and I am now able to show her what really happened, thank you for posting.

A tanker that is 3/4 full can turn over in as little as .1G. This accident is caused by the drivers lack of knowledge of this. Compared to a car which require 1.4G. Technically you can't turn a car over going around a curve too fast, although this can cause the driver to loose control of the vehicle. Normally a truck turns over around .4G, but that depends on the load. A lumber load(top heavy load) can turn a truck over a lot less.
