    That tunnel doesn't look like the clearance was too low.

    I'm glad I don't have the balls to attempt something like that...or should I say I'm glad I have a brain that functions well enough to make me realize I can't do something like that.

    Look at the arrows pointing down on the clearance sign. The tracks are high enough but the beam supporting them in the background is lower than the pipe, the barell and whtever that cowling is on top of the trailer. If you look at the beam at the far right of the pipe on the trailer you will see the interior beam sits lower than the top of the trailer.

    He thought he had the room to turnaround.

    It looks wider than it really is

    It's quite obvious that it's photochopped in a larger picture. The edges around the truck are blurry. Also, there are no scratches along the wall where the trailer slid against it. I'm sure I could find more, but it's a meme. It's supposed to be funny...not analyzed, so I digress.

    Actually it's not photoshopped. The picture is about 6 years old and I kno the guy who was driving. It was his first week in PA and they sent him out with a frac pump and crappy directions he got lost and this happened. He was and still is an absolute moron but he still works for the big red.
