    It’s like when you drop a nut from 6 ft above the floor and hear the exact spot were it hit the floor but find it 15ft away in a random direction.

    Hard to tell exactly from the pictures, but that looks like it probably weighs at least 20k, so no, not possible the driver didn't notice.

    Yes it could have. Hard to believe as busy as this road is there was no injuries or death from it landing on someone or vehicles running into it.

    Happened at 5:45 am on the section that’s six lanes wide

    but there’s still a lot of traffic on 75 even at that time of day

    gonna be a tough one to explain to the receiver when they arrive .
