Cintas truck was not READY for the 11foot8 bridge

11 foot 8 strikes again! Front wheels came good foot-n-half off the ground

1. Who's recording these?

Is this continual surveillance?

3. 11foot8.com

Yes, the guy has two cams which continuously record traffic at the bridge and, as the post indicates, this is crash #105.

Before you talk about signage, lights and whatnot, he has an extensive FAQ about the multiple safety warnings which the driver, most often a rental truck driver, must disregard in order to be another youtube star.

7. That is beautiful.

I wonder if he gets any decent revenue from that site. Or the youtube clicks. Or is it just humor for the public good? Actually, he is giving warning I suppose, so there is more than just humor.

8. If you look at the map position....

201 S Gregson St, Durham, NC 27701

It's near Duke University, and there are a lot of rental trucks that get eaten there. I believe those two facts are related.

Crash 104 was a novel one.

4. The low bridge is the site of regular wrecks like this.

There is a web site that posts all of the wrecks, sorry but I don't have the name. They keeps cameras on the bridge 24/7. Apparently there are plenty of warning signs on the approach to the bridge, but still trucks get eaten by the thing on a regular basis.

5. There's a low bridge a couple of blocks from where I used to live...

in Elizabeth, NJ that seemed to get mailed at least once a week. It was on a main road out of Newark Airport and Port Elizabeth.

Once, I saw some poor slob end up underneath a truck when he couldn't stop in time.

9. First you pay for the bridge, then I mail it to you

11. I love the way the red car at the intersection

backs up slowly after the truck crashes, like "Uh-oh, time to get outta here"

12. 11'8" Bridge don't give a fuck!

I hope that driver was using both a spill proof travel cup, and a tight pair of depends..
