Authorities are investigating after an oversized load came off its trailer, causing the death of two people and leaving one person injured Saturday morning in Temple, Texas.
Imagine being crushed by a 350k pound load while out driving. Holy moly Batman!
What even is that giant tube used for? I would have guessed a windmill tower just because I’ve passed lots of windmill blades that are oversized loads, but all the flanges make me think something else. Oil or water piping of some sort?
Looks like it might be a piece of refinery kit. Maybe a “cracking tower”. Being Texas, a big petrochemical plant part being shipped on the roads wouldn’t surprise me.
