Looks like they made a wrong turn on failure street instead

But it's a shortcut!

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 months ago

I guess they aren't headed towards success then..

Is this 11' 8" in Durham, NC? Lol. Hilarious

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Nope, this is the bridge by the train station on Mamaroneck Ave in Mamaroneck NY. I have seen quite a few trucks get peeled open there.

Looks like the bridge has a 10' 1" sign

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Looks like it is 10" 11'

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

You can even see the rust where the trucks get peeled. Awesome.

Close. Your ft & in symbols are backwards. It should be 10'-11"

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Whoops!

[–] Cap@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago

There are no shortcuts. Only short bridges.

[–] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 9 months ago

Is that part of the commercial as well?

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Seems like they have an opening...

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

"Ooops".

When you're super committed to the bit

That's a quick and easy way to lose your job.

God I hope this is real.

Happens all the time. There was even an overpass that got internet famous for it:

That the truck got peeled i believe, my doubts are whether the text on the side was edited in or not.
