The Gasp of the Week

Now this is a new one!

An entire truck sinking into Lake Springfield just as I was finishing my (unrelated) 6pm live hit.

Happy Thursday.. 😬 #twill pic.twitter.com/yJeB7yXd5t

Sorry, I just found the reporter’s reaction more interesting than the sinking truck.

Yes, the reaction and the bubbles were both very enjoyable. And now the owner has proof for their insurance claim!

  I just wonder how. How tf did the truck make it all the way down the narrow pier? Backwards! That’s some impressive driving … and only to fuk it up by accidently overshooting the pier’s end?

    I know how! It’s happened here. They back down the ramp to launch boats. Drive too far = floatyfloaty! Floats back a bit further before weight of engine causes it to sink.

      Ya, that’s true for ramps, not for piers.
      
      Okeeeee … I just watched it again. There is a ramp. Typical powerboat owners, typical doofuses. 😦
