If you are trying to tell me that that gentle curve in the distance was sufficient for a truck to roll a thousand feet down a highway, then it is your brain that needs a vision perscription - a direct reference to russottos intentional, irrelevant and personal insult link. Obviously, if that distant on ramp had anything to do with the crash, then there is far more to the crash than just a truck going too fast. But again - and even demonstrated by russotto's post - facts are irrelevant. Only hype and insults are important.

Clearly something more serious or complex happened. But we would never know. The photographer concentrated only on the smoke and ashes. He did not even show skid marks - which would have helped learn something. There is no text description. Where is an accident summary? Was he cut off by an aggressive SUV? Did another truck strike his trailer? Did his brakes fail or did he have to use brakes? Was he driving down that ramp at excess of 100 MPH? Was he sun blinded. Did bin Laden flash him a moon? What does that look like after 20 years of no toilet paper? Just more examples of how emotion was more important than the truth.
