Dodged a Bullet

[JCWCuda]

A section of road i travel for work (I haul doubles for R+L Carriers) washed yesterday morning Killing 2 truck drivers. One of my buddies was through there about an hour before it happened http://www.thedailystar.com/news/stories/2006/06/29/trucker1.html
My heart goes out to the drivers and there Family's

I always wonder what puts you in a place when something like that happens.
I know several times I have been slowed down by things when I am in a hurry like a slow driver or customer who can't start filling out the check until the have recieved a complete total and the stuff they bought is bagged. But then you drive down the road and see a horrible accident that just happened and if it was not for that slow poke in front of you a couple minutes back it may have been you.
Glad your safe and prayers go out to the families that have suffered a loss.

Holy Sh!t . . . can you imagine driving down the road and having it dissappear right in front of you so fast that you can't stop in time and fall into a huge hole! 

Quote from article!  -  One truck heading east and one heading west drove into a chasm created by the break, which was 25 feet deep and 50 feet wide! 
 


That could ruin your day real fast and did for a couple truck drivers.  Sad story.

These floods out back east are really something else. Hope everybody is doing OK. Blame it on global warming....more to come for everbody in the future.

I've had to pump out my basement 3 times in the last 2 years, in the prior 6 years never even had a wet basement except for hurricane floyd.

Prayers go out to those two unlucky truck drivers, and all those who are suffering from this terrible rain.
