    Apparantly he was stuck, but who knows, everyone appeared so casual about it.

    Oh my gosh, oh my goodness. Thankfully the guy got it on video. And apparently he must have disconnected from the trailer since it didn't budge at all. Very weird.

    Our safety director, at a powder company I worked for got his trailers hit on the same tracks twice on the city of Bell CA. waiting to pullin into a customer, Another point for not leaving your rig unattended.

    Looks like he could have raised the landing gear a few inches more and not had a problem.
