    Ouch. That must have hurt :eek:

    Reminds me of an 'argument' I had a while back when I had an MX-5 with one of those chrome luggage racks on the back. I had it mounted so that the upright piece was nearer the front of the car like here, reasoning that the forces on any luggage would be greatest under braking, and I didn't want a suitcase landing on my head if I had to brake violently and it somehow came loose. You wouldn't believe the argument that ensued as to which way round was the 'right' way, but I feel that picture vindicates my decision :)

    they could have been worse, they could have been driving on the N55 in Cavan and set 5,000 chickens loose onto the road!

    The truck was loaded with three steel pipes inserted one inside another with a gross weight of 17 metric tons. It is not known how or whether the load was secured. What is certain is that the securing measures were inadequate as the deceleration was enough to make the pipes shoot forwards, crash through the trailer headboard and driver's cab before finally embedding themselves in the ground just in front of the coach's rear axle.

    Almost unbelievably, the truck driver was only slightly injured
    The back wheels on the tractor unit appear to be off the ground.

    Have checked them out, anything in particular you're drawing our attention to? Nearly all of them are from Germany.
