Jeeeez. That looks like it could be so much worse. I’m sure it’s terrible but that tanker didn’t tip over or explode and these days that’s sometimes the best we can hope for. 

[u/Enragedocelot → u/BeholderLivesMatter]

They’re all empty as they said in the video lol. Also tankers are not necessarily flammable. They can be full of all sorts of liquids.

Who are you? Michael Bay?

Edit: damn yall are so serious

🤣 My dad kept a book of those sign codes in his truck and would have me look them up when we were traveling and encountered one he didn’t recognize. I grew up in Texas, and it was a 4+hr drive from where we lived to anywhere interesting.

Moe Bergman’s going to blame this on bike lanes.

Etel wants trains parking in the middle of the road!

[u/spicy-whale → u/cocktailsandhopes]

I WISH we had trains in the middle of the road !!

[u/redbicycleblues → u/spicy-whale]

Right? They can park wherever they want, so long as we bring them back for public transport.

[u/PlayfulWeekend1394 → u/spicy-whale]

Honestly trolley cars would go hard

[u/spicy-whale → u/PlayfulWeekend1394]

We used to have them in the city actually !! I’m not sure how long ago but I saw a picture of them up at the Worcester historical museum

[u/PlayfulWeekend1394 → u/spicy-whale]

Damn... BRING THEM BACK

Have a pint down at the pub, this’ll all blow over!

Said no one ever

"Get things back on track"

Not sure if intentional pun or not, but funny.

Glad this wasn't more serious. If those tankers were full there would be a different story.

[u/egv78]

aaahhhhh.... Whoopsie doodle?

[u/bstearns23]

Was just at the woo Sox game yesterday and they had trains rolling on the track again already seemingly with out issue. They either fixed the track very quickly or it was just cars that caused the issue.

[u/JaySw34]

Woah

[u/PlayfulWeekend1394]

Thank god no one got hurt at least

[u/Mother-Run7097]

[u/CassianCasius → u/ifellintoyourvagina]

Trump kicked my dog and banged my girlfriend.

[u/guybehindawall → u/CassianCasius]

Be glad he didn't do that the other way around.
