  • The tractor trailer seems to be empty and appears to be moving at about 45 mph... I would suggest that, when responding in a wet environment, the safety space between the accident scene and the response vehicle be increased by a few feet from now on.

    The empty weight of the truck is about 31,000 pounds, but if we could recreate the same setting but use a fully loaded rig of 80,000 pounds, I believe there would be enough mass to push the firetruck into the accident.

  • Tht driver saved those peoples lives good job on whoevr was driving tht day

  • @LeeChavezMusic probably tendin to an accident, and they did nothing wrong, they did everything right, thats EXACTLY why you park the apparatus like that

  • We're they supposed to be all the way one the shoulder? What did the MFD do wrong?

  • You have it right on the nose spikehornslayer64. I've been a Volunteer Firefighter for 31 years, a driver for about 25, and when we respond to any Interstate Highway call, the truck is replaceable, fire, ambulance and State PD come first!

  • and that sir, is why you park the piece like so
