My condolences to my fellow driver. Our job is so VERY dangerous. Please have patience around us. Not only are we monitoring our vehicles, but those around us, across from us, and so on. My thoughts and prayers for this tanker driver and the loves ones that are in mourning today. 🥺🙏🏻💔
Sad killed no fault of his own yet no mention the only worry was about car that caused it Not to mention trucking company will be footing the bill since for some reason u only matter if u are driving a car even if ur the cause wouldn't be surprised if they don't have insurance and the bar for getting license should be much higher that with good drivers don't cause crash and all cars should require inspection people driving next to trucks little to no insurance worn tires not safe yet we do nothing about it driving without insurance should be a felony the financial damage it causes should be taken more serious
My heart goes out the the truck driver and his family. Cars need to be more cautious driving around semis. No reason to stay beside or tailgate a truck ever.
What a terrifying sight. Condolences so sad. Keep the very best tires on your car and in good condition. Still no guarantees.. I’ve had flats on quite new tires fortunately never a blowout.
My Condolences out to the family of that truck driver and the truck driver! Connecticut car drivers get your vehicles check on a normal basis...Noone deserves to loose their life over negligence!
Probably, how long and if the metal trusses got on fire. The melting metal truss structure below will cause structural weakness. But most of it was on concrete, and that has a higher fire resistance
This is super close to where I went to college and this was a bridge I would take daily; year round in college. I can’t believe this happened so sorry for the person that died on this bridge. My condolences to his or her family.

Something tells me the tanker driver is the one who passed away so sad how reporters never mentioned anything on the tanker drivers condition 💔 Prayers 🙏 to the one who passed R.I.P 😢 Prayers for the family who lost their loved one 🙏
Since the driver of the car was "rescued", yes, the death ("deadly") was likely the truck driver who was at the wrong place at the wrong time just doing his job. Sympathy extended to his family.
I drive a truck and most people in cars are great about helping me out but some folks act like they have no idea what they are doing. Give trucks a break and don’t linger in their blind spot. I’m not trying to say that had anything to do with this situation but it seemed like a good spot to raise awareness. 80,000 pounds does NOT stop fast and will destroy your car whatever you drive. Thanks for listening.
_"passenger vehicle, tyre blew out, created an incident"_ And passenger cars in Connecticut are not required to have any safety inspections. Yay, freedom !
Well, I've had a tire blow due to a pothole on an interstate highway that the fascist RepubliNazi government wouldn't fix. The tire was barely a year old. They are finally fixing them since Biden got infrastructure funding passed that the orangutan promised but never delivered as usual.

That Bridge is a special design to keep it from collapsing straight down by the cables pulling it to the banks It was designed that way as to not block the Submarines from passage to the Sea. My Condolences to the Family of this accident.
I've massive fires up close twice in my life, and i can attest to the massive amounts of HEAT they put out, one was a GAS station and the other were 3 4 story apartment buildings all burning at once. And in both incidents, it looked super terrifying.
A life lost, people hurt, truck destroyed, car destroyed, 2200 gallons of fuel wasted, environmental damage, bridge damage.... dude says "I was sweating".
started night shift on this job 2 months ago. i drive slow because i don't want to rollover with 9000 gallons of fuel i'm pulling. ppl behind me get angry and honk and try to cut me off in rage. it's great feeling knowing the freeway i'm going has at least 4 empty lanes to maneuver and they don't want to change their lanes so they follow behind me for miles and miles until they get angry lol.
Yup, probably have to demolish the bridge and rebuild it. Anytime you heat metal, especially like in the video it bends or otherwise loses structural integrity.

Hopefully that tire blow out wasn't due to neglect of not maintaining their car. Reason I bring it up is because I was run off the side of the road by a guy with no insurance driving with bald tires, his front right went out and clipped my motorcycle making me fall on the asphalt. Didn't break any bones just major road rash and I had to repair the bike myself.
Probably due to the poor condition of the highway. A direct result of an orangutan's promises that he never kept as he was too busy tweeting to do his job.
The truck driver. Just trying to do his job and this poorly maintained car or unqualified driver caused all this. If it had been the trucks fault they would be seeking the death penalty for him. To bad they got the people out of the car
@@suezbell1 Doesn’t matter if the truck was at fault they would want to hang the driver. If the car is at fault Oh it was an accident. I just wish everyone was held accountable like a commercial driver.
Yea but we are REALLY good at that. .i mean epic at it. Beside tools and our ability to pass on knowledge to others we are the fail champions of the world. No other comes close to our title. "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!"
I was traveling the opposite direction just after the collision. It was exactly as depicted. All I saw in two glances was a river of burning fuel & another an open car door fully engulfed in fire. I thought more people perished in the inferno? As I was trying to pass other motorists in front of me were rubber necking. Just the wrong thing to do as fire trucks were immediately behind me blaring the air horns trying to get by. I had to blow my horn to keep the other motorists moving. What is wrong with people? Have they not ever seen a fire like that? Then to watch others with pain & suffering endure the inferno while they hamper emergency responders trying to get to the fire. All I kept thinking was who might have perished or burned by that fire. Prayers to those affected by that tragedy.
My tires need replaced. I cant afford tires. My stagnant low wages cant keep up with the rising cost of living so i will sacrifice new tires to feed my kids. Im doing the right thing.
This is why i don't have my driving License and i am 19 and on the highway when i am in the car i have my Parents don't be close to any tanker truck or trucks because i am scared for this happen.
I guarantee you the truck DID NOT "explode". The tank ruptured, and the fuel ignited, that's NOT an explosion. Reporters have to embellish everything these days... You also have to be very foolish to just drive by this so you can get RUclips footage.
I think it was supposed to be "...pulled the passenger from the car. Mere moments after(wards), it was engulfed in flames," and not "...pulled the passenger from the car mere moments after it was engulfed in flames."
I have always respect for truckdrivers but more for the truck they driving in. Trucks are not like cars where you have more view on your surroundings. Keep you distance from a truck they can't stop as quickly as cars can. And if you have to pass one leave a gap of at least 3 cars that's the most save way to get back on that lane in front of the truck. Truckdrivers have a limited view on their surroundings, so you have to respect that.
So sorry for the driver. Don't forget to get a $75,000 ev so you can save the world even though all the gas vehicles in the world wouldn't have caused that much pollution in a century.
Everyone on the roads needs to be trained on how to drive around trucks hazmat trucks need to be very cautious , when u driving around them we have no room for mistakes, I've been driving gas tankers semis for 34 years,
As a CDL driver, this is a sobering reminder of the risks involved. God bless the poor soul who died in this.

True because if they didn't and the people in them cars got into flames and people didn't get out before it did they will die from the car blow up.
