There is some really weird crap on the main page for that site ...

but anyway ...

how the heck did it get under there? Back up into the bridge, or what?

My guess: the arm was pointing forward, and it hit the bridge at 60MPH. It smashed a hole in the bridge, and started being bent backward, also putting downward pressure on the flatbed, and snapping it off the truck. The cab swings upward, making a hole in the front edge of the bridge, before falling down and coming to a rest with the arm bent backwards on the back half of the flatbed.

Terrible waste of an old flathead. Someone should try to get that thing running again while still encased in tree. Might make a good tourist trap.

You might think a tree that big growing up through the engine compartment of a truck would shift the truck a little or lift it a bit into the air. Apparently, you would be wrong.

Only the tip-top of a tree grows up. The rest only grows out.

Posting WTF artistic photos is almost to easy. There's a lot out there. But I figure this is worth linking.

wtf? (Yes, it's safe for work.)

Pig tails???

I actually love the idea of that old truck sitting out back somewhere ... one day a maple whirlycopter drops into it or a squirrel stashes some acorns and forgets about them (I flunked tree identification by bark patterns in Girl Scouts) and folks just let 'er be ... for about what, 60 years or so?

The "pigs in space" series is hereby debunked, sorta.

That's too bad. I liked the pigs in space story.

What A F**K UP!
 

The first rule of hauling an over size load is stay on route. Lest you find your self busti'n tires at Bosselmans. :driving: :cuss: :smack:

PS> IF you top out a load start drinking heavely.

You know, those Russkies are a lot more polite than I imagined. Its those little details, like a nice, shiny H-Bomb that let your enemies know that you really do care.

I think we beat them to the hand written personalisation bit though. (couldn't find the link)......

There's one dead soldier already
 

So, will additional warnings take the form of blistering, vomiting, or convulsions?
