On March 18, 1965, on Moosic Street in Scranton, a tractor-trailer carrying 15 tons of bananas lost control in rush hour traffic, hitting cars, houses, and wire poles before crashing into a home. The driver, Eugene P. Sesky (35), was killed and over 15 people were injured.
In 1974, Harry Chapin ( more famous for his song "Cat's in the Cradle,") told the story of the tragic events of 1965 in the city of Scranton, in his song "30,000 Pounds of Bananas."

I grew up outside Scranton in the 70s-80s. I'd never heard this song until I went away to college. It's my understanding that the song was banned locally from the radio, as courtesy to the driver's family. Now, I live within blocks of the accident site. And although I recognize the satire in the song and I can feel the enjoyment of the song's rhythm, I can't help but feel sad for the driver himself. RIP.
