You would think when a person heard the shreiking metal sound they would stop...I guess not!?!
That is an amazing pic though. He peeled it open like a can of sardines!

How could he not know what kind of damage he was doing? I've never driven a semi, but maybe the noise, the jerking of the rig etc?

I hope they make him pay for repairing the tunnel. I'm just glad about this part

Quote:

The central tube of three in the tunnel heading into Manhattan was closed for about 90 minutes after the accident early Thursday, but reopened just before the morning rush hour.

A guy who used to drive for my Dad took out an awning in a similar manner.

The awning was only two days old and the truck was brand new as well. I guess the new Awning was a few inches lower than the old and the new truck likewise was a few inches higher--perfect storm :lol:

On the way back to Florida from Georgia, my friend and I saw a U-Haul that had been in a similar predictament. Whoo.... could you imagine the damage cost? The white flap o'truck had gone and it was a convertable U-Haul.
