This is the sequel to this week's "Attack of the reefer trucks," and this time "umbrella man" (on the right) has to run for his life to avoid getting hit by the flying debris. This time the bridge wouldn't let go so easily of the truck, and so they had to bring in a big tow truck to remove the busted reefer truck. The entire operation took almost 2 hours, during which Gregson St. was completely blocked off on a Friday at lunchtime! This road has a traffic volume of 11k-12k vehicles a day, so traffic was a mess, too. Enjoy the video! This is crash # 143 since April 2008.
The sign really needs to be changed to "Overheight must turn or face ridicule and humiliation on UA-cam."
Tucsoncoyote 501 Oh how many poor souls won’t get that reference?
You’d need to raise the bridge to fit all that in
@Tucsoncoyote 501 😊📷
maybe a light on the other side of the bridge that lights up with the words, "smile, you're on camera." after a registered impact.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 You mean Allen Funt? Or were you just changing the name slightly to avoid potential legal issues regarding use of the man's name? :-p
Fun Fact: The sign in the parking lot next door that says "Morgan Imports" is actually made from the top of a truck that hit this bridge. The artist picked it up after a crash, flattened it by driving over it with a forklift, and then used it!
Carl Frega That is hilarious! I wish I had a picture of it.
You can see it here on google street view 35.999074,-78.910231 Also, you can see the cameras. ^.^
I live here and I didn't know that! Thanks!
I need proof
I just looked on Google maps. That's pretty cool
I love when both the warning sign and the red light are ignored. Thrash!!!
The guy in the suv with a sun roof also ran the light
Stuart Morawski it's like they're in a hurry to can opener their truck! 😆
Stuart Morawski well, this time the truck seemed to be goin pretty fast and trucks are hard to stop quickly, so it’s kinda understandable.
Stuart Morawski unless the driver saw the yellow light and decided to speed up, of course
98% of the videos 😂
Good thing they ordered the 11'7 tow truck
I was thinking the same thing, it looked like that tow truck just barley fit, but, its likely a local firm so they are well aware of the clearance.
@@steingat I think he makes out from these jobs, knowing that his wrecker fits, and that the lift must just be above the ground, with the victim truck front tyres flat, to get it out.
Did see a trucker that managed to fit himself under a bridge nicely, and that was a difficult extraction, as he was going fast enough that all the rear tyres burst, and the springs went flat on the trailer. IIRC they had to cut the wheels in half with acetylene torches to get clearance to drag it back out. Did not help that the road rises under this bridge, and the massive refinery pressure vessel segment he was carrying did not bend at all on impact, just acted like a wedge. They got it out, and the segment was repaired, and delivered a little late.
Another is a low bridge under a racecourse, he took the rear box body completely off at the floor, leaving a nice confetti of foam insulation behind. Then same bridge a municipal bus, they had to pull it through completely, as every window had shattered, and the top of the bus was leaning at a nice rakish angle.
11' 8" would fit too...people dont realize that's not how tall the bridge is that's the maximum height your truck can be.
LOL
Could've gone cheaper with the 7-11.
When you realize 2 people run a red light and a third was going to, too... until the truck got ripped apart 😂
What's worse than the walk of shame? A police-escorted walk of shame
Explaining to boss...then wife.
The small child heard at the end of the video will be re-enacted truck-into-bridge smashes with their toys once home.
Good thing he had the umbrella ready
Right because thin fabric will protect you from flying metal shrapnel.
If only, right?
Dude's instinctive run forward also help him out. Almost like the dude knew what that sound meant.
I wonder what that feels like crossing the street and knowing despite the sign that says "Overheight Must Turn" that 11'-8" keeps ripping tops open... then suddenly you hear it right behind you...
@@lovablepsychopaths8260 And flying jokes.
I'll never get tired of watching these. This bridge is like a lamp to moths. The trucks can't resist it and only live once!
i thought this said a "lamp to morons" at first and, def makes sense lol
@@thealexandralorian Now that's funny 😆. I should have put that instead.
I was thinking...."I just watched this one". But nope! It's another new one! 😁. It's like at the end of the infomercial.... "But wait! There's more!". 🙂👍
That's why you title the second video "Another pedestrian dodges truck" to make it clear.
Call now, and we'll cancel one your payments!
Bad week for reefers!
Steve J. “Now how much would you pay?”
And to make it more interesting, both videos in two days feature a silver GM full-size four door SUV right there next to the box truck. I actually went back to check that it wasn't the same SUV, but one has factory wheels and the other has aftermarket.
As long as no one gets hurt, this is, and will remain, extremely satisfying.
Even if they do get hurt...sucks to be them. Still funny.
You still have to drop 15 to 20 grand to get that fixed, so in a way, you still got hurt.
IF they have their seatbelt on it's still a shock they'll feel the next day.
yovo68
,.do the Police ever ask you for your footage?
This guy clearly ran the red light, and if the gray sedan on the right hadn't been paying attention and braked, would have been t-boned.
And the gray SUV on the left, running the red light too, but braked @ 0:17, They knew what was coming.
Nope, not for truck crashes. I've had requests for footage of car crashes from the police and from insurances.
@@11foot8plus8 Thanks for the reply.
Forgot to mention, I especially liked your editing on this one. Great job.
Why would they? It's already published on the Internet..
@@Tedd755 They need the formal request for the court case, so the evidence is admissible, and the lawyers can view the unedited footage to ascertain this, plus they get to laugh with the judge as well afterwards.
@@SeanBZA I've done the same with the perimeter cams at my previous job, for auto breakins, fights, idiots doing donuts in the parking lot after s good rain, and the unsolved case of the girl getting run over during a gang altercation outside a pool hall.
Always given to a police officer that had a case # and a smile. Not given out just to anyone, that could be considered aiding and abetting.
Good to see footage of the police arriving, I've always wondered about the aftermath of these crashes, who removes the trucks and clears up the mess Etc.
Hey. Love your videos, man!
What the hell are you doing over here Larry!
Larry Bundy Jr I... did not expect to see you here.
This bridge is the gift that just keeps on giving!
The beam that just keeps on peeling.
I wonder how many jobs have been lost because of this bridge. 😂
Twelve. I think twelve.
you mean how much money they make from teh repairs because of this bridge
143
Equal to the number of bridge engineering jobs that have been created to ensure this structure remains standing
I wouldn't want to own a rental truck company in this town.
The bridge is having a feast!
Nom nom nom 🍴
nom nom nom nom -> ua-cam.com/video/xUNKqk7HXcY/v-deo.html :) @@warpedspeed05
11 foot Ate
I could imagine boss is yelling at these drivers right now: “The feast! You have ruined the feast!”
delicious truck bacon
That yellow crash beam needs some serious repainting!!!
lol There could be some truth to that.
Nah. It needs a scoreboard attached to it. A kill tally showing how many trucks have fed the bridge.
The flashing sign NEED's TO BE BRIGHTER like a neon yellow or orange. !
@thegrandfinale2 The industrial vacuum truck (104) I'd consider a tie considering it damaged the crash beam and physically jolted the bridge deck. So 142-0-1.
I am seriously congratulating to whoever built it cause it's been through alot
It was a Penske Truck! Bridge’s favorite food, along with Ryder, of course.
Wow. Good eye... I didn't know unless you said it.. Its painted on the driver door
@@ladam836 Didn't get around to painting the new body since it had only just been fitted after the previous can opener experience.
Because overhead damage isn't covered by insurance, this one is going to cost the renter a fortune to fix body and possibly a new reefer unit. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
And Enterprise. Their trucks get destroyed here too.
Let’s not overlook Enterprise. We don’t want Enterprise feeling left out or overlooked.
That piece of metal falling after everything was stopped was hilarious
.... at that moment, you could hear a pin drop.... I laughed my ass off !!!
The city could make a fortune if they installed red-light cameras at that intersection.
It needs to be a big sign too. Maybe the prospect of a fine will slow people down.
maybe some flashing lights that go off when they detect a truck that's too tall. wow, sure a shame that isn't there at all!
I love how right-sized the tow truck is. Fits perfectly under the bridge. Would say clearly bought for the purpose of pulling stuck trucks from the can-opener’s mouth.
The bridge must be great business for them.
At 1:50 look at the copper colored car that comes in from the lower left. They seem clueless as to backing up.
at first he didnt want to wait then when he saw that the truck was being remove , he changed is mind
Potentially, he will be the driver of the next overheigh truck to be driven under that bridge.
It's a Buick Rendezvous. The factory window tinting makes it really hard to see when backing up, the rear roof pillars are huge blind spots, and the backup warning system (that beeps at the driver when you get too close to something) is often oversensitive... I've driven them and their visibility leaves much to be desired...
But you're probably right, it's most likely a lack of backing proficiency.
Yeah, fifty point turn around, lol.
@Michael Miller That still doesn't explain why they went one direction then decided to go another and so on. They were driving quite erratically, and it had nothing to do with the people behind them.
Again?
Edit: Oh, it's a different one. Nice.
Yeah, different title from the first. I was a bit puzzled myself despite on a pc the description read two, which I watched the first last night.
Two uploads in one day? At least the pedestrians came prepared with umbrellas this time
The cloud of coolant escaping when the truck hit the beam is a nice touch. That reefer is definitely toast.
2 in one day? Yes please!
I was wondering - saw this first and it looked like there was already some debris by the bridge columns.
Reoccurring theme in these videos: The bridge takes no damage. Whatever that bridge is made of, please make airplanes out of it. Thank you.
It has a solid steel crash beam with the same height in front of it, needed to be replaced once already.
Tairiku Ookami Looks like it needs to be replaced again. Or a new paint job at least.
@@wyprman A UA-camr visited the bridge and showed a side view of the beam, it was quite bent already, I forgot the channel name though.
*OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN*
Like, ohmagawd.... that like doesn't mean me, does it?
"I'm not overheight, so that doesn't apply to me." [CRASH!]
Needs to say "U 2 TALL" "TURN!!!"
I think that the warning was for the imaginary truck next to me.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 BWAHAHAHAHA!
Looking forward to the third can-opener, tonight.
John's Towing and Recovery must have a whole manual specifically for taking care of this stuff.
Just a little off the top
.... always crack-up every time I see this comment....
The guy in the silver tahoe looked like he saw the sign and knew exactly what was going to happen lol look at how early he slowed down / stopped
.... not to mention that he, too, ran the red light....
OHH look a red light runner, never seen that before.
There’ve been several. It seems this intersection is also notorious for people running the red.
David Spalding I think he was being sarcastic
@@ChromeJob the reason for this is that if you're over-height it actually turns the light red to hopefully make you realize that you won't fit. This has the unfortunate result of making impatient morons run the light and hitting it even harder
I was kinda hoping the wrecker would just pull it the rest of the way through...
Red means stop. - My 4 year old son.
ThorntonsWelding so he’s smarter than Trump
@@mickfunny4185 Wrong.
Jon M cmon even Pompeo admitted Trump doesn’t kn9w what he’s talking about
@@mickfunny4185 not an argument. Nobody knows what they are talking about on every subject. That is what his cabinet and advisors are there for, to fill the gaps. Like saying a brain surgeon is dumb for not knowing rocket science and vice versa. Trump was elected because people knew he would be knowledgeable about an do what the people who elected him believed was right in business deals for the USA (you could argue they are not good deals sure, but he IS doing what he promised and those that voted him wanted) as well as securing our border. A promise every politician against him also agreed with, before Trump decided to do it. Which thank God for because I double dare you to go watch Cartel videos on Liveleak and tell me you are fine with allowing those people to enter our country and slowly tear it down from within like they did neighboring nations to the South.
Jon M Trump doesn’t even understand basic economics, his own trade advisor tried to tell him he was inventing a non existent trade theory, and Trump said he didn’t care. And he sure as hell isnt building a wall, the one signature issue he ran on he has failed to even begin twitter.com/economics/status/1099357290791022593?s=21
That tow truck looks to be about 11' 7".
So is the Penske now :)
@Dan Zunko They probably custom-built it for occasions like these, because this bridge gives them so much business ;) :D
It put big John's kids through college so he built a special truck around 14 years ago. You can see him in one of the channel's oldest videos.
I love how everyone just stops for a few seconds like time froze then continues their day
Finally the bridge says. “I’ve had enough, I’m not giving ball back.”
They need to rename that bridge the can opener.
They’re way ahead of you pal.
The locals call it “The Can Opener”.
Why is he reuploadi... oh wait
Customer: I don't need the extra insurance, I'll be fine. Local rental agent: Take The Insurance!
We should start a GoFundMe to repaint the beam.
Yeah, it is looking
pretty rough
Maybe do like pilots did in WW2 and paint truck symbols for each truck crunched
There would have to be a separate sign for all its kills at this point.
Or a sign that says how the amount of time since the last crash
@@aut0751 yes, a LED sign then below it-"will you be next?"
Was there an idiot convention in town?
SUV next to box truck runs the red light at idle, box truck driver completely forgot his brain and smashes bridge.
Later on we see another SUV driver who doesn't have the capacity to do a 3 point u turn.
This kinda explains the consistency of the channel
Also the white SUV in the foreground reversing into oncoming traffic.
That was a reefer truck too. Boss is gonna be pissed. Very expensive mistake
1:09 haha the one lone piece falls off.
I love the reaction from the people with umbrella
You ever wake up from a nap and are really REALLY hungry? That what the bridge is doing. It took a long nap and now has an apatite for refer trucks.
TrainTrackTrav usually. Just have a PB&J on a bagel, but I can see how the bridge wants a truck
@@mickfunny4185 THE BAGEL IS THE REEFER TRUCK.
It ate pretty well at the end of the year, and I think it had a snack or two in January. There seems to be a recent uptick in trucks hitting the bridge over the past few months.
Wouldn't it have been funny if the tow truck cab was over height and crashed to? lol
cowscrazy That tow truck was probably custom made for pulling physics cucks in overheight trucks from The Bridge. And the company that operates it probably makes a big profit
After they hit, the sign could change to "UA-cam fans thank you!"
I've said before that they should have a sign on the other side of the bridge, right where the driver of a recently crashed truck could see it, that says "X days since some idiot tried to drive a tall truck under this low bridge", where the "X" automatically resets to zero when it detects a crash.
@@HiddenWindshield Yes!
Nice 9 point turn minivan. 🤣😂🤣 I never considered that all the trucks and RVs that hit the bridge and leave might leave debris on the railroad tracks. That could have seriously dangerous consequences.
I think half way through he thought I might actually go under the bridge.
Casually walking and turns around "Meh, just another day in the 11foot8 bridge"
1:08 I love the fact that that one piece just falls off at the end. Pure comedy
forget the oscars! 2 videos in one day!
*Two videos in one day? You're spoiling us!*
👍👍
Sign says "Overheight" must turn !
Driver thinked🤔 " oh, I'm ok , im the shortest of my brothers!
That’s just Captain America ... hiding in plain clothes and his vibranium shield cleverly disguised as an umbrella... he’s good!
Whoda Hellru you misspelt “hidden”
Mister Tree hiding actually, but corrected ...Thanks!
"has to run for his life"
gently goes a few steps out of the way
Pretty much this. Neither pedestrian was ever getting hit by anything.... the guy on the right was behind a solid concrete wall at the point of collision. Title is mild clickbait! #fakenews ;)
an umbrella for that forecast of raining debris?
So ignoring every single sign and running red light? Great driver.
it must be incredibly loud under the bridge, poor people walkin by
Can opener is not to be deprived, love these videos
John's wrecker service sure stays busy with 11' 8".
What's up with the dude in the Buick, make up your mind man.
I'm guessing it wasn't a dude
That crash audio is priceless. Just beautiful. Plus it's guilt free because of the elaborate warning system!
Why does it seem like they're always running red lights? I'm never going to NC. Box truck drivers are insane there, apparently.
What amazes me other than the crash is how many drivers are willing to risk their tires driving through the debris!
The day they fix this bridge will be a very sad day
It's unlikely to get fixed anytime soon, there's a sewer line below the bridge and the rails on top would need to be gradually raised over at least half a mile in each direction to make room for a taller bridge.
What do you mean “fix this bridge”? How the hell is this the bridge’s fault? It’s been there for 100+ years!
There’s more chance of fixing “stupid” universally than altering the bridge.
I love how there's still debris at the side of the road from the previous crash the day before...
Wow, love the zoom!!! We're there really 2 people with umbrellas on both sides of the street at the exact same spot or was that a mirage?
Angels of death..... waiting for new customers/
That last piece of metal falling off the truck had me in stitches. Such comedic timing!
This bridge sees more action than I do!! 😍💖
I was hoping the tow truck would be too large lol
Question: if you go around this underpass, how long does it take to get to the other side? Is it that much of a hassle to just go around?
There is a railroad crossing only a few hundred yards away. THat said, I have no idea how often trains run on this line, or how long they are. So that might be a factor. Dunno.
It’s amazing to see how often people are running red lights here. There needs to be a cop around watching for this....super dangerous for everyone.
Nigel Thornberry must love this channel.
who dat?
SMASHING
The vapor of the van's HVAC refrigerant venting is *so* satisfying on the second camera view.
Gotta love double shots of can opener carnage (truckage)! :)
This bridge is the only consistent thing in my life
I wonder what kind of fine the driver got, because whatever it was probably wasn't enough.
@thegrandfinale2 I was thinking more the fine for closing down a busy road for 2 hours by failing to observe multiple warning signs.
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer gets stuck in the water slide and the crowd boos him as he's getting rescued.
😂 I told yall 2019 this bridge taking over ....
That was an almost perfect sardine can opening, the way the top rolled back! LOL!!!!!
Tis a good day when 11,8 uploads :)
That gold SUV trying to enter the intersection was not having a good time lol
Yellow is out on one of the stoplights.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that!
The gold-ish Buick Rendezvous (that starts to turn around, changes their mind, then turns around again) also has a brake light out.
love how the silver suv ran the red light but then was like "wait... isn't that truck gonna-"
At the start, before the crash, is that debris from the previous crash still sitting there by the bridge support?
SlashesWithClaws Yyyyyyep!
Love the car trying to turn around. This is a future 11foot8 customer lol
How come all bridges aren’t built as tough as this one?
The bridge has a crash beam with the same height in front o f it, it has been replaced once already.
yovo68 you should put up a 24/7 live stream of the bridge on YT and Twitch and maybe a few other platforms.
@thegrandfinale2 then let's bug him to bug yovo. He is more likely to listen to another UA-camr then us.
The sign should switch to "DUMBASS" If it notices a collision.
At first, I thought I already watched this one, but it's indeed different than the previous one. What a feast the bridge has had.
Police in your town have some nice cars
Mrs Brisby Paid for with all the revenue generated by people ticketed for hitting this bridge.
Do they not look like that in most places?
I love it when this happens after they run the light!
Bridge had the munchies?
Wow thats major damage there. Great video
shes eatin good now !!!!!!!!!
Maybe the best part of this is the silver SUV who's running the red light with him at first, then realizes what's about to happen just in time and stops
Let's do the Time Warp again!
John's Towing and Recovery loves this bridge!
Did that person who did a u-turn on the double yellow right in front of the cop get pulled over?
Probably understandable because the cop is blocking the way ahead..
I hope so. Bonus revenue for the city! Nice idiotic, 20-point turn by the way.
