Only in Houston
Usually drinking is involved but I think in this case the driver was only spooling.
I drive behind and beside trucks carrying these all the time. I'm always afraid this might happen.

Re: Rollin' rollin' rollin' - not Rawhide
I wonder how it got off the truck. In the second video, it only fits under the bridge by a foot or two, so it had to be laying flat on the truck bed. How did it flip up by 90 degrees to get rolling? And what are the odds it would be pointed straight back down the roadway? Very strange!BackInTex wrote:Only in Houston

They usually are upright on the trucks If laid flat they are too wide. But yes, on a lowboy flatbed.Estonut wrote:I wonder how it got off the truck.

That's just the perspective view that makes it look so close. Probably closer to 3' to 4' or more clearance between the top of the roll and the underside of the bridge.
