jeepers this could have been bad:



53-foot truck stuck under track of uptown subway line

The heavy hauler’s trailer got caught on the underside of the above-ground tracks at 10th Avenue and W. 207th Street in Inwood, according to a witness, which carries subway trains on the No. 1 line.

The big rig had a 53-foot-long trailer, which is not legal to drive on most New York City streets, but the onlooker said such large truck operators routinely break that law.

and then you wonder why it doesnt happen more often.

the whole idea of allowing any gigantic highway semis into the city is just the stupidest thing in the first place.
