This spill actually occurred when someone challenged Trump to a game of 32-D Monopoly and they kicked over the board(s) when they lost. ;)

Hmmm...

216,000 dice were spilled,
And the “Hidden name of G-d” is supposed to have 216 letters.

Coincidence?

So who called the black-and-whites to direct traffic around the incident?

The best line is at the end of the article:

“The truck was undamaged, having made its saving throw.”
