: there is a turbo here for the asking. Find it Joe Palmer 04-23-2009, 04:27 PM I wasn't sure if this should go in the jokes forum cause it is kinda funny or here cause there is a turbo there. (find it) It seems the driver tried to throw his chain over the load & caught a power wire. He said the tires melted imediatly. He is one lucky SOB. :D DieselSlug 04-23-2009, 04:33 PM Ive seen that before its a mack, we have a bunch of those at the well drilling business........ preachermic 04-23-2009, 04:35 PM Must have a pretty good arm to throw the chain that high.:D jjw565 04-23-2009, 05:09 PM Must have had his wheaties for breakfast that day. That must have been quite a blaze judging by what little is left of the truck. matuva 04-23-2009, 05:24 PM MACK hasen't designed yet an electric or hybrid truck, someone should have told the driver... matuva 04-23-2009, 05:26 PM Sorry, could not resist. Glad he is OK steveduhame 04-23-2009, 05:58 PM Must have a pretty good arm to throw the chain that high.:D x2 yea he should have been a pitcher instead of a truck driver:eek: Metal Head 04-23-2009, 06:02 PM Maybe he thought he was driving a trolley car. And I thought I had a shitty day.... RVC 04-23-2009, 06:04 PM Looks like a wire rope not a chain mattthebrat 04-23-2009, 06:22 PM ...........and that children is why we don't play under powerlines! callie454 04-23-2009, 07:42 PM Hi, Geico?...Yeah....ummm...

That is great!!:lol: phantom 309 04-24-2009, 04:55 PM something aint right here,.. the amount of voltage,. amperage etc,. would turn that "chain" hook into a ground short, which would burn thru the overhead wire (after i magnified the pic,.it doesn't look like any chain i,ve ever had) so if the " chain " and over head were able to sustain this ground short,. electricity like water would find the path of least resistance etc,. and would not come anywhere near the cab,. i,ve seen dump boxes hit overheads, and blow the tires off an axle till the rims hit ground ( current travels down to the rims then jumps the gap to the steel belts to ground yes flames shoot out of the tires,.) causing the ground short,.but didn't make things hot enough to combust,.

Jmho Jm2c nick I think I erred with the "chain". It is probably cable. If the wood was wet, would it conduct & combust better? chevyinlinesix 04-24-2009, 05:29 PM Phantom 309, I too have heard of the tires blowing off a crane after coming too close to a high voltage line. As for the pictures... Mamzerook, you should know better. Is this why we haven't seen much of you lately? :D phantom 309 04-25-2009, 10:27 AM If the wood was wet, would it conduct & combust better? Time for a little experiment, go on out and cut a slice out of a tree (green wet wood) and try and set it on fire using electricity,.;) Nick DieselSlug 04-25-2009, 01:55 PM Its a mack granite series, i forgot the granite in my earlier post, we have a bunch of them... They are junk.... Sorry the pic is a little small, i took it on my phone.... mamzerook 04-25-2009, 11:13 PM Phantom 309, I too have heard of the tires blowing off a crane after coming too close to a high voltage line.
