when will people freaking understand the freaking weight limit ?. if the truck is to heavy for a bridge that way's less then your rig, DON'T DRIVE OVER IT..!!, but it seem's that truck driver learned the hard way.

yeah no kidding
trucks are 50X heavier when that bridge was 1st built

just think about it, the trucker's up in alaska, there in 1 BILLION TIME'S! more danger area's cause of ice covered lake's they have to drive over and face the ultimate risk of breaking threw the ice and disappearing for ever then driving over a million year old bridge that could snap under a 40,000lb rig.

*scoffs* Moron!

Major oops.

The earlier driver (in the second link) was 23 -- a Millennial. And these are the ignorant morons who are gonna inherit the Earth.

tons into pounds is GRADE SCHOOL knowledge tho!
like know the weight of your truck in BOTH formats

"I just don't understand that Metric $#!+..."

I worked for six months at a chemical factory you would recognize the name of instantly. Two things they taught me in the first week were how to direct traffic (using a remote on an electric signal and manually by hand signal) and how to weigh a trailer truck.43 years later I could do either in my sleep.

Dang...
