*****THURSDAY MORNING THREAD*****10/7

A very tall tractor trailer went through the wrong tunnel in Boston some time before 9:00am today. Now he's stuck between the Sumner tunnel and storrow Drive tunnel coming out of Logan Airport. I'm surprised he didn't take the roof off of the trailer. I wouldn't want to be that driver or the state cops who have to figure out how get the truck out of there.

Afternoon, all! Very busy past couple of weeks at work...retirement is only a couple short decades away.
Bet if they just let about 1/2 the air out of the tires they can just back it out.

I really want to see the Rays win it finally.

They would be my first choice.

The tunnel is almost a mile long and it's only 2 very narrow lanes. It was built in 1931.

I went ice fishing in northern Vermont years ago with friends. We caught 8 northern pike all about 18"s long. The shiners we were using as bait, were trying to jump out of the small hole to get away from them.

Growing up in Pierre, SD, there is a low clearance bridge, on a street that has multiple signs for the height and no trucks allowed. Seems like every couple of months there's a new truck getting stuck underneath the bridge. Some of them look like a can opener opened the roof of the trailer lol. There's even a Facebook page dedicated to the bridge.

Then at work, we have 2 loops for trucks to make on our lot. One is for the van trailers, other is for the grain haulers. We always make sure we tell the van trailers not to make the bigger loop because they will not fit. Last year, in a span of 4 days we had 3 drivers not listen. 2 of the trailers were deemed unloadable after they hit the downspout, so they had to go on their way.

I think every city has that bridge. In KC we have the Bridge on Independence Ave.

Earlier this year I believe 3 trucks hit it in 2 weeks.

The 3rd one is for @finestkind

Do you listen to 610? One of the shows likes to make fun of the bridge "claiming another victim" whenever this happens.
