    “They are working on getting a tow truck that can handle a truck and loaded trailer.”

    And it would probably have to come in from the other end, backing all the way.
    And then how does that rig manage to get around all the curves while towing?

    Good point. I wouldn't even want to think about the cost of that tow bill. It may be more cost effective to unhook the trailer and let it fall to the bottom and stay there.

    I honestly think you have a point. Unload it piece by piece, once it is empty, tip it over the side!

    Maybe the driver was sick and tired of the job and wanted to go out in a big way?

    At least there wasn't a crowd being run over this time.

    "Drive a truck, see the country"

    I love that they don't know why it will take that long to get that mess unstuck.
