[TheForge] Kaboom

I was wanting more of the story, and found another dashcam video of this incident:

It's amazing to me. Looks like the bottles were not even tied down! they just spilled out of the truck over the road like potatoes poured out of a sack... Geez.

It seems only the truck driver suffered minor injuries. Nobody else involved hurt. Folks were -very- lucky.

I suspect nobody learned anything either =:-O

In NYC the fire dept shows first and the cops show up later to do a report or body count and then the two agencies fight with each other over who is in charge
