Truck driver launched into the air as vehicle gets wedged under Bangkok bridge!

Was lao cow involved

If he was going a bit faster, he might have just squeezed out the other side, landed back on all wheels, and been able to lower the bed, nervously hoping nobody noticed, and continued driving in one cool seemless action.

"An initial investigation revealed a possible faulty mechanism that somehow engaged by itself as Bin was changing gear."

OK how come the vehicle in the car cam shot from behind has a truck with a tipping back---just an ordinary tipper truck ,yet in the pics with it stuck under the bridge it is a different one---- this one has a tandem trailer---STILL ATTACHED

^Truck with cab and hydraulic lifting/tipping back is pulling the other trailer..I.e. 2 vehicles, the 1st wedged.

P'raps those who are berating Thai truck drivers should take a gander at the videos of serially stonkingly stupid US (I'm presuming - certainly not Thailand) truck and van drivers from the 11footeight .com website to get a sense of perspective.

Yes and these are the falang drivers after having lost their job and their DL taken away by the Traffic Court you encounter on the roads in Thailand were they tell the Thai DL issuing office that they never did have a DL. I personally know one or two of them, one of them from the UK who lost his DL for five years for repeated citations DUI so the UK company send him to Thailand on a five year contract where being what Brits call a "Pisshead" he continues on with his DUI. Howe can Thai DL issuing office be so stupid to belief that a thirty year old US or UK guy never did have a DL?????
