Whoops ... beam down [scotty]

haha, I think that was more of a weight fail, than a size fail. that suspension just denigrated....

Hmmm, it looked to me like the rear wheels struck something on the right side, like a guard rail or something like that.

Think his mounting shifted and the back wheels got adjusted to the right by a lot and he was over the line while the front was straight. Causing him to strike a guard on that right side. No idea why there would be a guard there...doesn't look like a valley.

Oh, you're right... Good call, I couldn't see it, but now that you mention it, I guess his tire did bump it --- then the suspension fell apart like a flaky pie crust!

What @Porksandwich said. The rear carrier had shifted its angle, so the tracking wasn't inline... meaning the rear of the beam was about 6 feet to the right of the truck.

A truck carrying a load that large and heavy should have a chase vehicle. There is one visible at the start, that is ahead of the truck. I have a feeling that the camera was mounted in another chase vehicle, but I have no idea why he wouldn't have alerted the truck driver to the situation with the carrier alignment.

Howdy... the rear triple axel unit is often referred to as a "jeep". It is steerable (have a look at the two opposed hydraulic cylinders above the jeep frame and below the load... you can see the sun glint off the left cylinder at 0:07). The control lines for the jeep are running forward to the cab through the lines which are bundled just ahead of the 3 boomers that are holding down the load, and riding up on top of the beam. In the final 3 or 4 seconds of the video, you can see the black sheathed control lines bouncing up and down, still attached back to the jeep which is out of frame on the RHS. The mistake here is that the jeep wasn't controlled properly during the turn (it's one or sometimes two buttons in the cab, often attached to or near the gear shift for single finger operation); during the turn the jeep is turned to make a wide turn and stay in lane, and once the turn is made, the jeep should be brought back to a 0° (straight running) position, but it looks like it was left a few degrees right and thus hit the concrete guardrail. 10-4.

ya it looked like he was "dogtracking" right a good 2 feet.
