Eight hours on the road

The Visitors Bureau will hate me for this, but I gotta dispel the notion that Hawai’i is nothing but surf and sand.

Yesterday about 2:00pm a nitwit driving a trailer with an excavator on board inadvertently took out the bottom section of a freeway overpass. This was the result.
Here are the professional photographers’ pix.
Here are the shots the victims/amateurs took. If you look at the times of some of those photographs, you’ll notice that a couple were taken fully 12 hours after the accident.

  1. A month or so ago, a truck went through the rail of a bridge over te Willamette, here in Portland. It was the Markum, which is one of the I-5 bridges – traffic was backed up for over fifteen to twenty miles – from morning ruch hour until nearly 11:00 pm, with some sitting in traffic for up to 6 hours before they were able to get just a couple miles to get off the highway. What amazes me is that such accidents don’t happen more often.
