Sept 28, 2009: Truck Spills
A gazillion trucks carry the stuff we need, and a lot of crap we don't need but will buy anyway, over the highways... night and day... 24/7.
And sometimes they drop things.... Quote:

see also: The Gallery of Transport Loss
Focused more on maritime + aviation accidents. And with a less-than-current approach to website design. But there are some real golden photos in there. |

They can count themselves lucky those gators were already dead.
Years back, the main highway into Adelaide from the East snaked down through some hills where the trucks could burn out their brakes, then swung around a 180 degree hairpin turn officially named "The Devil's Elbow". The stuff that spilled there included a truckload of live cattle, a load of nails and scrap metal, and once, about 8,000 live chickens. No crocs, that I remember hearing about, though.

There's a mostly accepted urban legend about the brood of chickens that inhabit the Hollywood Freeway in Los Angeles. Snopes are certainly willing to accept that a poultry truck overturned near the Vineland Avenue exit, and the survivors formed a permanent colony.
Not a truck spill, but along the same lines of cargo lost in transit, our most recent opportunity for looting came from the sea rather than the road, from the MSC Napoli: Quote:

Regarding the spilled cookies, how come they aren't surrounded by swarms of birds, rats, flies, and ants after sitting out there for so many hours?
I don't foresee that I'll be eating any Honduran phony cookies that nature's scavengers don't even recognize as real food. |

What do they use alligator carcasses for here?
Is that what "imitation crab meat" really is? |
