From what I read earlier last week, The column was spread across multiple trailers in tandem, like a train.
Is this true?
If it is, that is a very bad idea................
We had a large load get escorted through town to its destination 40 miles away.
It seems to be regulated by the state, with Oncor and every safety office known to a bureaucracy involved.
The trip was well planned and stopped when safe to let others pass.
How the load came off the road to fall is a planning failure by the State.
Here is a link to a video showing the truck moving thru a small town prior to the accident. You will need to watch a couple minutes of the news broadcast before they show the video.

They say it was a distillation tower was 217 feet long and it was hauled on two trailers with each trailer having 40 tires.
