Semi Driver...Rig Afire, Drives Away From The J
- Thread starter redytrk
- Start date
If not, we should give the driver the benefit of the doubt. Note that it was night. A trailer engulfed in flames is something that can be easily overlooked when doing a pretrip inspection in the dark.
Serously, it looks like the fire started inside the trailer. The flames may not have appeared until the truck moved. Though, one would think a glance in the rear view mirror would have sent the driver high-tailing it on foot.

Phil, you should have prefaced that paragraph with a humor warning! I never saw it coming and choked on my bagel.
Rig Afire
Chemicals are nasty things
and they make a fiery rig
bound by wild desire
I fell from a rig afire...
I fell from a burning rig afire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the rig afire
the rig afire.
The taste of sulfate is sweet
when chemicals like these meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..
I fell from a burning rig afire.....

Rumor has it that The Man in Chinchilla and DJ Shelled a Lot will be teaming up for a monster stadium tour.
I'd like to apply to be the guy with a headset and a flashlight.
"I have Moot, we're heading to the stage. He appears to be sober enough to stand up. Bring down the lights."

I'm guessing you must be sitting down because that one went right over your head.My point was,that if someone was hurt they would be sleazy enough to hire a sleazy ambulance chaseing lawyer and try and sue because he was showing sleeper and not driveing,beecaauuse that is the kind of world we live in...

Sorry - thought you meant it as written.....
PS I don't need to be sitting for things to go right over my head - at 5'2" a lot of stuff does anyhow
I first thought of going with the heigth but thought sitting was a given.At 5'2 you should consider a lawsuit of your own,you could sue your home state or go federal for building sidewalks to close to your butt.

Wow...sure brings back some not so fond memories. Last November I was sleeping while my wife was driving. She hollered "there's is a big truck on fire"!!! I don't remember getting dressed. Just climbing into that inferno to pull the trapped driver out. Just like this guy..he just did it....there is no time to think it through..... I may be a little more relunctant the next time though. Oh...hey gang..I have never posted before, but this may be my therapy.

Thank you for your selfless act. I hope both you and the other driver are recovering or recovered.
Yes, that's pretty scary to think someone that crazy is out and about in the middle of the night with bolt cutters and matches, and enough knowledge to know which trucks are carrying flammable hazmat. Not only putting the driver of that truck in danger, but all the other trucks parked along with him, and depending on how far away the fuel islands were... could have been devastating to say the least.
Btw, welcome Captain Boome! At least if you're still 'not quite right', after your experience, you'll be in good company
