Mar 10, 2011: Ink truck down on the highway

That sucks if they really are paving it over. I'd love to drive by that scene, and would actually detour on my way up to Maine sometime to see it. It would also be a warning to future truck drivers to slow down on that particular curve if they left it there.

Great picture.

"The ink reached two storm drains, but it is not considered a hazardous material. An environmental cleanup company has been summoned to the scene and a "careful cleanup" will be conducted under the supervision of state environmental officials, State Police spokesman David Procopio said in a statement."

Hope they finished that cleanup before today's heavy rains.

Looks like the driver BLUE it.

Maybe there's a reason, but I'm seeing blue and red in that picture, not cyan and magenta.

The container on the left looks like a huge ink cartridge.

It might be that in a highly concentrated form the inks appear darker or it might be that reporters got the info wrong. CMYK are certainly 4 color process inks, but other colors exist for spot color printing but I doubt they'd be red and blue. I'm guessing we're just seeing really concentrated colors.

The writing was on the wall, he just wishes he'd RED it.

In a bunch of places in Oz it's not unusual to see a tractor, a small trailer and another 4 regular size trailers behind that. Typically referred to as a 'road train'.
