    I hate to see stuff like that! What a waste. Another sad thing is that a couple of those not too badly smashed cars will be put back together and be sold as new. Coming to a lot near you, soon.:biggrin_25513:

    Yep, look at the cylinder next to the power pole. And notice where that deck is in relation to the car underneath it... it should be very near the roof of that car with suv up there.

    Impressive damage, that unit went up into the girders after impact, most likely wheel strapped, not chained. Chained units lose their roof, but usually stay in place. this one hit the unit on #3 hard enough to knock it off the deck!

    I've only seen this kind of damage one other time, a drunk running from the law in KC crossed the median at speed and launched high enough to impact about 6 feet high, on the left front post of the trailer. The engine and trans left the chassis and went through the top 3 units like one very large skilsaw.
