    I wonder how much that cargo weighs by itself, and then how much the transport weighs by itself.

    And that load is not 1.8 million pounds in the mud. For that to happen the entire truck would be in the mud. It appears that maybe 80 to 90 percent of the truck is still on the road surface.

    Looks like a stator. Maybe heading north from the port to J.K. Spruce just southeast of San Antonio.

    so let me see....escort vehicles....and no one "spotted" the drifting....???

    it's "no one's fault"...????

    i think fault is rampant in this scenario......that drifting could have been stopped long before it ended up into the ditch.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.
