The truck was salvaged about 8 hours later.
One other truck had 9 yards of concrete set up inside the barrel when they sent a tiny tow truck to pull out a close to 70,000 lb truck. They have people you can hire who drill through the concrete in the truck and put a kind of a charge, similar to Dy-No-Mite. The actually yelled Fire In The Hole and hit the Plunger Like Gomez Addams and the truck jumped about 6" off the ground.
It broke up the load into manageable pieces and the whole truck was jackhammered out. I Love Concrete. Bet you never heard that before. What a great way to make a living. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Another Happy Memory for me brought to you by NOTHING!
