How to loose $125,000 in 10 min.

Post by gahult »

My wife and I were on the way to set up at a farm market this morning.

We stopped at a Pilot station for coffee and this was the scene in the drive way.

The driver got out OK.

Sorry sould have been in garage talk.:oops:

Wow, that's crazy. Bet you could feel the heat where you were standing.

Well, it is a trainwreck of sorts...

First I hope the driver & any passengers are OK. Next I hope the truck was insured. Spectacular photos! Wonder what got it started.

Man I'd hate to be that guy...


One time at a construction site we had gone to lunch only to find on our return
that two large apartment buildings that were framed were fully engulfed.
There were about 10 of these 12 plex buildings.

Were standing mesmerized by the blaze when someone mentioned that we
should have brought marshmallows.

They burnt to the ground.

The general contractor was not amused.

Apparently a plumber got careless with his torch.

Don't let that smoke out!

Back in 82, I was living in Summit County, CO, and one day it sounded like every piece of fire apparatus in the entire county was mobilized. Being a comedy legend in my own mind, I said, "Wouldn't it be funny if that was ____ ?" Condos we were involved with over in Keystone. Wouldn't you know it, it was. It wasn't funny at all and a huge loss. Same cause, careless plumber with a torch. For the money those guys make, I'd expect a little more attention to combustabilty.
