The news is already pointing at-fault fingers in every direction. The attorneys will have a field day looking for some deep pockets. They are even blaming the licensing department for issueing the driver a license 10 months earlier allowing him to carry hazardous material. This driver has a a not so clean past, however, has been reformed for tha 9 years, so lookout it\’s fingers gone wild
At this point it really does not matter ( proximate cause) as they will claim contibutary negligence on all parties. The tab for the first four days of this accident is $8.5 million, so lookout fingers as they will be pointing to everyone.
This was a solo loss. Allegedly the trucker was speeding and he may have lost control. The driver could have fallen asleep for all we know. At least he made it out alive and no other people were injured or killed. One good thing from this loss is that it has forced a lot of people to use mass transit instead of their vehicles.
Look at the bigger picture, the driver, or even the truck owner\’s pockets are limited. Now they will be looking for the money, for example, was the curve properly banked, should the steel have melted, or what safety mechanism\’s failed and caused the explosion. The estimated costs are approaching 20 million dollars.
thats why it collapsed. Never before has flame melted steel, or maybe once, but anyway never before. Remember the World Trade Center, and the New Orleans levee?
All blowed up.
