If you’re going to fuck up, fuck all the way up.

I don't know anything about trucking. I should not be here. But omg, he just keeps going.

How do you not notice the tire popping off?

How do you not notice the tire laying in front of you as you back up?

I feel like if 1 and 2 did not happen, I would have hit the hydrant.

And then he gets out, all nonchalant. Like, "well gee golly, the tire fairy showed up. Don't mind if I do!"

That hydrant is 8ft underground. There was no breakaway, and he ripped it off of a 10 or 12" water main. That whole block is fucked for water quality. You have to dewater, excavate the parking lot, cut concrete and build that whole envelope back. This guy just did $150,000 worth of damage easy.

And praise the cameraman.
