    speaking of math.... What in the world would that cost for the damage to the overpass. WOW! What happens when the insurance runs out?

    this has happend twice in the last ten years on RT11 in Howland Ohio near me. fisrt one was pretty much the same incident but only took out the first steel beam. the second one was last year when a guy driving a roll off truck forgot to put the undercarraige down. they had to replace the entire bridge and re route a gas main that was on the bridge. The driver was killed. that is amazing how it just sliced through the deck like that. just to start out, 50grand for the 50 ton detch, 125k-150k for the machine, and for the bridge, just sign over the business. wow

    a few things in that video dont add up to me, that looks like more than a 16,000lb machine, its on the trailer backwards, and they couldnt have had the boom all the way down on the trailer

    That's probably why they hit the bridge :cool2

    Notice the size of the boom, it ain't standard
