Unrelated to the content, only to the format, but what odd iteration of Facebook(?) or its like is this from? Is this the mobile interface of FB these days?
That's definitely the official Facebook app, using dark mode. Looks just like mine, right now.
Good ol Sure Wish I'd Finished Training.
Ok so the bridge collision seems like an obvious accident to me, no questions there from me.
But that photo of the truck I can't figure out how this happened and I suspect aliens and/or bigfoot might be involved somehow.
Im not sure im going to explain the well, but...
I think they backed into the pole and it bent the bar (or whatever that guard thingy is called) up and under so much so that the pole ended up behind the bottom rail of the bar. The metal bar, then, spang back into place somewhat. And the pole "bent" / angled backward (from the ground). When the trucker tried to moved forward to get off the pole, the pole got snagged in the hole due to the spring action and got ended up getting dragged back to its more upright position, and it ended up as you see it in the picture.
I dont think the hole in the ground from the pole is from it being dragged forward, so much as from it being pushed backwards.
Edit: someone I know that has family that drives trucks says that it also could have occurred if the other trucks on the side weren't there to begin with and the person was trying to turn and the trailer swung out and the pole got dragged past the first hole and into the second hole. I'm kinda skeptical it could happen that way considering the direction the pole was dragged in the ground but who knows. it's just another perspective. But he also thinks the picture is photoshopped so...
It makes sense that the trailer backed over the pole so far it got under the bar. But the trail behind the pole indicates that it was dragged forward. It seems like he backed over the pole causing it to bend and go under. Then moved forward causing it to poke out above the rail and then it dragged forward causing the asphalt to be ripped up the way it did.
But why didn't the bar break? It must be made of alien materials!
And who put the pole in the middle of the parking lot? Probably bigfoot.
Bigfoot is working with the aliens confirmed!
Well, like the pole started out getting dragged backward, and then forward again...the white spot on the ground is where I think the pole originally started out, and there's damage in front and behind that mark.
I think it didn't break cause it's meant to keep cars from plowing underneath the truck. If it broke it would defeat the purpose, and the car would end up with the driver somewhere under the trailer, decapitated or something...
I'll take aliens and Bigfoot in cahoots too! I bet one of those shape shifting cryptids had a hand in it too.
Ok, maybe the aliens are off the hook.
On closer inspection there's a grey metal thing on the ground that I think the poles were meant to protect. If that's the case then judging by the remaining poles and what looks to be a concrete surface, it looks like it probably originally was where the damage to the asphalt starts. So the pole was in the middle of the parking space. You can see the other pole is in a parking space too, just not in the middle.
But if that's the case then raises another question. Who the hell designed this parking space?
Bigfoot. Obviously.
I kinda just want bigfoot conspiracy theories to make a comeback. At least those ones only made people spend more time hiking. The ones we got now make people want to burn down their own capital. Make conspiracies bigfoot again!
Skinwalkers? Nope. Let's not do those ones. Too creepy.
