    just updated, 11 dead....by the time the tally is done it will be even higher being that it involved a semi.This is the crap the media loves to use against drivers.

    Many people may see this and think it's a truck driver's fault....

    But, many more others will see that it is just a tragedy....no matter WHO MIGHT be at fault...

    I-65 is one the worst roads we have for bad accidents.Nashville to Chicago is a hard dangerous ride.

    so i read the story here... and at the end it says
    " The state saw its first complete failure of a cable barrier last November along I-65 in Hart County. That crash also involved a tractor-trailer. No one was killed in that accident.

    At that time, a state transportation spokeswoman said cable barriers are not designed to stop tractor-trailers, but have successfully done so in the past.""

    so they knew that a truck could go through the cables, since it happened last november.... so thay must have known that something sad like this was bound to happen...right?
