I love 11foot8. It's like the most stoic passive-aggressive behavior of all time.
"Turn back. Don't do it. Seriously, don't. ... You did it. Good job. Hope you're happy."
My primary response is 'myriad thoughts about infrastructure,' but I'll keep that one to myself and opt for 'lol.'
Yep. I had to click the annotation to see what was on fire...
I guess my initial response is why the hell did they make cars that obviously don't go under most overpasses?
Uh oh. I've started to notice low bridge videos in my Youtube recommended videos feed. I hope this isn't another 'Cars with Ship Horns Vs Ship with Horn' debacle.
I don't know, I mean... If I were driving a truck, my number one concern would probably be if it fits bridges I pass. Aren't the drivers simply a bit careless and/or drunk and/or dumb?
PS: I still feel genuine empathy for the following minutes when the driver has to get out of their truck and witness their error in front of everyone around. Makes me wince.
Many of the trucks are rentals - people who are not used to having to check, then rent a Uhaul to move to anothert house or something.
Many others are just stubborn, or not paying attention. Standard tractor trailer height is 13'6", so low bridges might be marked for 14', 13', 12'6". Someone who's 12" and fits places a full tractor trailer can't won't pay attention to the numbers.
They SHOULD pay attention to the multiple signs and FLASHING LIGHTS at that intersection that turn on when you're overheight, but still. That's when you look at general idiocy, and the fact that it's a high traffic area so even one out of, eh, a thousand is plenty of content.
This video is an older one but I think about it quite often.
There are trains with plows to clear tracks that are awe-inspiring in their power. But the only reason we have them is that a moose can't be bothered to clear tracks for us (and in fact considers such paths to be optional in the first place).
Oh yeah, the video was just so this technically qualified to post in the Cool Videos thread since I couldn't be bothered to find the photos thread ![]()
The snow plow one is my go-to for anyone that's like "A moose is just like a big deer right? Big woop."
But watching a Moose just run through a couple feet of water like it's nothing is also a new solid contender.
Yup. I too have been underestimating our moose overlords...
