    There have been several eyewitness reports that the OS truck was trying to get over to the center when another 18 wheeler went by him, preventing him from getting over. I've seen the video, and I believe this story. Now what I want to know is, why isn't anyone looking for the numbnut driver who REALLY caused this?

    BP oil spill = $$ to US

    Canadian trucking company = $$ to rebuild US bridge

    I don't know enough facts about the BP Oil Spill to comment, however, if deemed "at fault", this company, as required by law has sufficient insurance to compensate for said damages.

    The NTSB has several video sources that are currently in DC being enhanced to show this incident in enough detail that "We will be able to see the expression on the drivers face"

    Like I said. I saw it ONCE, it was NOT "enhanced" the angle was not great. BUT from this angle/distance I did NOT see 2nd truck crowding him. I did NOT say it didn't happen. I ment to leave that possibility open. I hope they do release more vidio of this.
