As a CDL driver, this is a sobering reminder of the risks involved. God bless the poor soul who died in this.
buddy, comment above has strange load vibes. what u think?
I know what you mean. My father & uncle was truck drivers & many friends were truck drivers for decades. This is 1 of the things that freaked them out whenever a tire flew off its rim, or a tree branch broken off & flying at a truck during a wicked storm. 😢 it's a sobering moment.
Once again, an incident involving a semi truck that was caused by a car. Over 90% of such accidents are caused by the cars. If the FMCSA really wants to improve safety, they need to hold the general public to a higher standard.
Of course, a real investigation into whether the car was being maintained, such as tire condition, compared to how the NTSB investigates plane incidents/accidents would potentially reveal many deficiencies of general public use vehicles. It is amazing the condition of so many autos I see while driving around. Extremely rusty conditions and obviously deficient tires are but two that come to mind.
I drive Trucks everyday on these roads, one thing for certain EVERYONE MUST BE RESPECTED. I DONT CARE IF YOU LOVE THEM, JUST RESPECT because the World has reactions. People can't ever be blamed in a situation of Wolf's and Hogs. The Wolf wins every time, that means the under will never have a Chance.
There are Knowledgeable Individuals, They are Ignorant Ones. But the Inncocent are All People.
I didn't mean any of this in a bad way, just informational.
Democrats gave driving licenses (CA) to people who can't even read the road signs. About as stup!d as you can get. If we did what most European countries do this wouldn't be a problem, but the US stopped making sense a long time ago.
Once again...some loser crying before he got all the information pertaining to this accident
Try again moron
Ah yes "Trucking Education" now your garbage comment makes sense lmaooo
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. 🥺🙏🏻💔
This is another reason why you don't drive next too Semis.
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
We HATE truck drivers. They NEVER STOP TAILGATING!!!
@T Raybern
Then don't buy any consumables they haul. Nothing from any store.
Everything you have was brought by a truck, you miserable person
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.
OMG 💔💔💔💔💔 and all those people helping rescue from the car that would shortly become engulfed in flames!!! Wow!!! We have heroes everywhere!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Thanks and Praise \o/ 💛😻🐾
a lot of toxic accidents seem to be happening recently
Good point they are not accidents
Explosion all over the country tx lost 18 thousand

I wonder how these accident keep happening
Week after week with no end insight
@@ritaschultz6859 say it again😊
Lack of regulations
Exactly 💯 stay vigil ready and aware. These cannot possibly be mistakes. There's something we dont know but what we do kno is that we are under attack
Didnt even mention the driver. He was just doing his job, wasnt even his fault. rip
I’m sure he was cut off and had no time to react.
@@bodyboarder733 They specifically said a tire blew out, causing the incident.
@@IzzyKawaiichi Oh yeah. I was falling asleep when I watched that. Thanks!

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.
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.
starts with going to a good shop that regularly inspects things while doing oil changes most people are clueless that vehicles are deadly weapons when not maintained
Praying for all involved in this tragic accident..🙏🏽
It’s like a Micheal Bay movie with that kind of explosion. Scary stuff.
Final Destination
Driving with bald tires is a recipe for disaster.
Without Trucks America Stops
Thank you Driver
10-4
I thought that was the railroads, or at least that's the b.s. the politicians spouted.
Rip one Trucker To Another 🙏🏿🙏🏿
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!
Not even a token show of sympathy or sadness for the human fatality. What a terrible tragedy.
people die everyday
I guess that'll come when they identify who it was.
Wow we just had one like this here in the RGV ( RIO Grande Valley ) tanker explosion prayers for the family of the drivers.
That was planned too.
My deepest condolences
Climate change
exactly how deep do your condolences go? (in feet & inches)
I wonder if the fire made the bridge structure unstable. 🤔
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
nah thats only jet fuel that melts through steel beams
@@xophaser that's kinda what I was thinking. It looked mostly above on the concrete.
One of the bridge in detroit had tanker fire right on top. It was demolished and replaced. Most likely to be replaced later.
@@Otacon2099 based.
My condolences to the families
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 🙏
He is.😭😭😭
She’s ONLY there for her TITS!!!
Just other day on 75 in Central Florida I passed 2 Loves fuel tankers and purposely went way over to the far left lane to stay away from them.
I give semis room, always, also flash lights to warm and to let them know I got them and they can get in front of me lol I'm old school.
Last summer, I gave one an arm pump and he honked for me, like when I was a kid road trippin w fam❤️
Stay safe
@@katiesiouxlamoureaux7757 You too.
The navy uses that inlet for their submarines to go in and out to sea. Think about it
I’m guessing the poor trucker died?
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.
Yes
Praying for all involved.
Once again praying doesn't save ppl lives
@@baselinecherokee6047 GOD ALMIGHTY AND JESUS CHRIST PRAYING AND FAITH DO!!!!
@@lizgrem8542 no is does not😁😂😂
Sorry, your belief is fake. God Almighty is true, because He is the one who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and this is in the Holy Qur’an and the only book that is not distorted. As for Jesus, he is just a human being like you and me. @@lizgrem8542
It seems we have a *_Christianity_* vs *_Islam_* battle in this thread. *The two religions are incompatible.* At most, only one can be correct. If one religion is correct and you accidentally choose the other one, you are literally going to hell to spend an eternity in pain. It's a 50/50 gamble. Choose carefully!
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.
That is unfortunate.
Super scary good thing work getting the people out of the crashed vehicle 🚗 before it was engulfed in flames 🔥
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.
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.
Sabotage

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow Horrible Scene For Real. RIP Tanker Truck Driver 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😔😔 From Edinburg Texas
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.
Oh no!!!!!! Condolences!! I drive over that bridge frequently
For all affected and supportive may life Serve you
RIP fellow soul.
“ . . . embracing, beneath the black smog.” Ummmmmm . . . ???
Omg God Bless all 🙏🏾♥️
Wow thats scary
R.I.P 😢
Yikes!
I'm glad you're not in the mix
बहुत ही दुखद समाचार है
🙏🙏 going out to the family and friends of the driver😢
_"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.
Oh no
Damn!
Did the truck driver survive ????
No
Holy crap!!!!😮😮
Lol😂😂😂
I lived in Groton as a toddler 😕💔
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.
A life lost, people hurt, truck destroyed, car destroyed, 2200 gallons of fuel wasted, environmental damage, bridge damage.... dude says "I was sweating".
So sad...
Didn’t this bridge get destroyed in a similar incident about 20 years ago?
Just as crazy as that tanker fire on the I-35 near Moore (the one where these three guys save a girl who crashed)
Evacuated moments AFTER it was engulfed in flames ??
My oh my.
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.
How horrible I would feel if that was my tire blowing that caused this horrific accident.
Ya people suck anymore
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.
Wonder if it was cheap and/or improperly maintained tires.
Keep both hands on the wheel.
Too many people on their phones looking down.
Most definitely💯
@@baselinecherokee6047 I see it every day and it makes me angry!
Every day multiple times I see tops of heads, looking down at their phones, cars in the ditches!
Just yesterday in Sunset beach North Carolina, 2 cars crashes because some women was distracted and hit and car and they both went off into the treas.
driver needs to be sentenced to life
Yes and they're more dangerous then drunk drivers
a tire blew out...but yeah phones ig
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.
Better to drive defensive bro !! I drive a Semi also and I always play it safe !!
Rip
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.
Where is Buttigeig on the bridge money he got?
WRONG!!! The ENTIRE bridge RE-opened….YESTERDAY!!!
And yet truck drivers wages have been steadily declining, his/her employer probably has the job advertised before the fire was put out, RIP.
This should tell us just how vulnerable we all are. Adding more lanes to the existing infrastructure just isn't an option.
They’re going to have to replace all of the road that was burned as well. Hopefully they actually will.
No one deserves to die by being crushed or burned alive.
Who died? The truck driver, or a car driver? Basic reporting of the facts would be good.
Wind?
Need to check the footage to see if they were stopped and the middle of the road that should be charge since the tractor-trailer driver died
Needs to be rebuilt. Glad everyone is safe
Some final destination type of thing 😱😱 rip
Holy Crap
Occasionally check your tires to prevent this sorts of things.
BLOWOUTS STILL happen.
Does anyone know what caused the tanker to roll over?
I hate to see this and feel sad for the family of the lost soul.
🙏
1:08 Not smog. It’s just smoke. They’re not synonyms.
Michael Jordan, the greatest nba player in history would think this is sad. I pray the injured get better.
Huh?
kobe bryant moment more like
People who haul fuel have such a horribly dangerous job.
Some lanes are open.
Ho my god
Hoe my god???😁
Terrible.
Holy
Prayers prayers
Praying don't do anything good. Is praying making the headline news? I'm guessing not😒
Where was your god when this disaster, and every other disaster, was happening?
This and that is your opinions. Believe in what you will. Don't be nasty to mine
@@christinacarnicom4059 Who was nasty? It was a legitimate question. You choose to believe in something despite a lack of evidence. That's what faith is. If there were evidence, faith would not be necessary. Yet you're offended that reality is at odds with what you chose to believe. That's all that's happening.
How dose one person die from anexaplion💀
We are human...we should never mess up in a world like this. 😢
.....are we NOT men ??.....We are Devo ! !
But that's exactly why we mess up... we are only human.
Ah ,but to err is human.
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 don't think the driver did it on purpose
Horrible.....
So who died ?
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
Jesus Christ😂
@@jackg64 Seriously? We don't know even the cause of the flat tire?
@@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.
And yes very seriously
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.
You are joking, right?
Bubble wrap yourself and stay at home.
Is it in New York
No, it was in Connecticut
Poor reporting here, no need to make us assume the driver is the one who died here.
Omg😮
WOW
There used to be pipelines! Question will the bridge be usable after the cleanup or a rebuild months/years down the road.?

One report said car had a flat tire creating a problem that wrecked the truck. Not sure if that is accurate.

Good thing that truck never hit a high rise

Did not know that electric vehicles came without inflatable tires. Learn something new every day.

Who else saw the other POV on tiktok?
Just stop oil!!
My condolences for the bridge having to close. I know that must have been a real hassle for everyone. Oh, and whatever the truck driver to I think I heard he died somewhere in there. Right between the economic impact assessment and the weather report. Jesus Christ!
Not even mentioning the truck driver like wtf terrible news station
