Great plowing, pal.
..not-quite-great on the audio side, though..i need special effects (like sound!)..!!..
Here’s the audio:
vrrrrmmmmmmmmmm
crackle! crash! boom!
“ohhhhhhh great…”
Just go to sadtrombone.com
That sounds like a great site!
tell his wife…
Why? Is his wife a fan of great news?

WTF?! The snow’s all like amnomnomnomnom… The truck just disappears!
The sound effect you were looking for is spelled “Om nom nom nom”

I lol’d. For real. XD
Me too!

ROFL
thank you for interneting today
Wow that was original… I didn’t see it coming. So funny and clever too!
U mad, bro?
WTF !
That is actually a known problem with concrete bridges and parking garages. It is caused by the salt used on the ice oxidizing and crumbling the steel rebar inside the concrete. This causes the concrete to essentially have no reinforcement which means that trucks can fall through the floor.
..head-spinning..mind-reeling..thought-numbing..
..wait!..where did the truck go through the floor??..did i miss something?..
Yes
Yep. Graboids from that movie Tremors have moved into the area.
that actually makes more sense than the rubbish Nonny is spouting
except if it is supposed to hold cards, it should be high density concrete and shouldn’t fall in just because of that.
As a professional who works with concrete, I can tell you that concrete has extremely little tensile strength. The density of the concrete has little to do with its tensile strength. The rebar is absolutely necessary and what Nonny said is most likely the cause.
As a structural engineer I second this comment.
As a Human, with common sense, I would think it would take MANY, MANY years of pure salt being laid upon this particular site, for it to give way like that.
That structure could be decades old. I’ve seen many similar structures suffering from their age, bits of concrete breaking off exposing steel, or mild subsidence.
Remember in cold weather steel contracts and becomes more brittle, its the perfect conditions for weakened steel to fail and an unusually heavy load such as a truck would be the perfect trigger.
This discussion is surprisingly interesting.
Clearly you are the most qualified to comment on this.
Looks like the rear axles of the truck (heaviest loaded) overloaded the doubletee flange and fell through. Those arent very thick or very heavily reinforced.
PS I never thought I be discussing structural engieering on failblog! hah!
No it’s just an OLD ASS parking garage that they should have re done YEARS ago, but never did!!!! I HATE parking there for that reason alone…. it’s old and had cracks all in the deck!!
I don’t know why the east coast still uses salt on the roads. It eats up the vehicles, and…..this.
Oh oh oh I know this one. It’s cause salt causes a chemical reaction with water causing the freezing point of water to drop thus melting the ice on the road.
I’ll take my cookie now.
Alternatives for salt are already in use in a great number of places.
…salt is cheaper than just about any of the alternatives. And when you’re in a state that has to remove snow dozens of times during the winter, the bottom line demands salt.
Its not cheaper if you get lots of snow, then its better to let it settle and use snow tires and snow chains.
You use salt if you get frequent frosts and very little snow fall at any one time. This is what we do in the UK but every few years when the snow’s heavy enough and the temperature low enough so that snow settles on the road despite the salt. As no one is prepared for snowy roads everything stops and instead of going to work we either complain bitterly or go out sledging.
i think that, as a Canadian, I can be considered an expert on this:p
Snow chains will RUIN your roads. also, your gas milage and only really works for big cars. Packed snow is slippery like ice, best to get it off the roads.
you don’t use salt on snow anyways, you use it on ice.
who the hell uses salt on frosts?
One state, Maine I think, tried sugar, but people kept hitting the deer that kept licking the road.
omg you have no idea how much that made me LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…but deer lick salt, not sugar.
he meant kids. the kids that kept licking the roads :p
what do the west coast use when it snows and the rds ice over? every coast uses road salt for winter storms!!
I can’t see how that would be the case here. How is salt getting to the rebar when it’s buried in concrete? And with this being in GA, we hardly ever get snow so I doubt salt was used often enough to cause the rebar to degrade.
Concerning that it is in Georgia, it probably doesn’t apply. However, if there is any sort of crack in the concrete (which is very common and mostly unavoidable) the salt and moisture gets into the concrete, causes the rebar to corrode, expand, spall out the concrete, and then weaken it.
You don’t need a crack in the concrete so much as any opening in any waterproofing may have been applied. Concrete itself is not watertight.
I live in this town. It’s Calhoun, GA and that parking deck is an old, worn out deck that’s only 2 levels but it was scheduled for refurbishing. The pillars make the lower level only usable in every other spot and it’s always leaking like a sieve. It DEFINITELY wasn’t rated for about 6 tons worth of truck, gravel and salt. I drive a small pickup and I wouldn’t park on the upper level of it.
But… you would park under it? Wait… what?
Spoiler!
Hidden pit win!
Just thought of two things – one, the old video game ‘pitfall’, two, some mother saying “Now you boys go out and play and DON’T dig a trap for the plow driver again!
did he died?
Did he feed?
Did he get paid for his work?
..so he got paided for dieding? and feeded too??..sing me up!..
One for Mythbusters?
What tune would you like me to sing for you???
..”Polly Wolly Doodle”..?..it’s a personal fave..
I just love how everyone kept on driving.
I don’t think people spend a lot of time looking up while they drive.
That’s because they’re too busy looking down at their cell phones.
I’d have sh*t my pants!
..those pants would’ve ended up on yer head, in this case..!!..
Haha. That’s in my hometown of Calhoun, GA USA. The driver was fine. Funny thing is that parking deck was just declared “structurally sound”. FAIL
If that’s the case that is the true fail here.
Well, that broke the ice.
Ba-dum-bum *Tssh*
He falled down and go boomded.
You might say… (double sunglasses) he got snowed under.
yyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
This is from my hometown. It almost never snows there and I’m surprised they even have a snowplow. It doesn’t surpise me they don’t know what they’re doing.
Hey um frem turh too!
I bet the driver heard this noise eminate from the heavens when this happened
it’s a trap!
I live in Calhoun, where this happened, and the man is fine. The city utilities is very upset about the video going viral though.
“Mister Fail, that’s my name. That name again, it’s Mister Fail.”
God damn.. four people form calhoun here?
..yeah, excellent point..maybe they were all snowed in & checked Failblog en masse?..(i’m petitioning for +1 interweb golden peanut for ya, fake-Terri)..
Speaking of snow in Georgia, I would like to bring to everyones’ attention that school has been canceled in my county this whole week because of FOUR INCHES OF SNOW. *facepalm* It’s not even that icy.
That is all
… 4 inches? Thats barely worth plowing! We’d have to get at LEAST a foot within 12 hours here in Minnesota for school to close.
I agree. My step dad, whose from the North, is having a whole “what a bunch of pussies” attitude about it
Then he should tromp his butt back up north. We don’t need any more northern transplants coming down here pretending to be superior human beings because they can drive in snow. If that’s what they want to do, go back to where the snow is and leave us alone.
He’s not pretending to be superior to anybody. Closing school for a week because of a mere four inches of snow IS ridiculous.
What the South doesn’t need is more prejudice people with an inferiority complex.
It all depends on what you’re used to and what your city is prepared to handle. I live in Chicago and it has to be nearing a foot of snowfall in very short time for schools to close. But when they do the Canadians are shaking their heads at us in contempt.
Yeah, there are some pretty bad drivers here that wouldn’t know how to drive in winter weather. It snowed during Christmas, and some lady from Alabama was freaking out because she’d never even seen it before. But for a whole week? C’mon.
Also, my step dad is from Illinois also =P
The real problem is that mere 4 inches of snow, has turned into a mere one inch of solid ICE in many places. A week later, there is STILL solid ice on the roads where I live in Flowery Branch.
And yep, bus drivers that can’t drive in snow, shouldn’t be expected to be able to drive on ice. Now, want to put YOUR kid on one of those buses?? I sure wouldn’t. (and yes, I’m a long time transplant from Virgina where I used to drive to work in at least 8 inches of snow)
Around here, in Barrow, it doesn’t seem too bad. My whole family went out to eat last night, and there wasn’t anything on the roads, except salt. Ah well, better safe than sorry I suppose
@TC…who the heck are you to suggest such nonsense?? I wager that not even one person voted to have you speak for them. I wonder how many inches of those four were on the ground two days after falling.
if you can’t drive in the snow, move further south :p
Then tell your step dad to go back up north where he belongs before I hunt him down and ship him back in a box with no holes poked in it.
@Bill W.,…you know, it’s people like you, leaving comments like that, that make me immediately stop reading the thread, and go to a different page. This was an interesting topic until you, and TC decided to dumb it up.
It wasn’t really snow by that point. Just slush. But the roads were probably still icy though. The day after that probably would’ve been fine though.
Also, there’s so many prejudice people down here man. It’s impossible to deal with all of them lol
shoulda stuck to plowing women but NNNoooooo!
While that’s way more fun, there’s hidden pitfalls in that too.
Did you say Lesbians?
I love how it takes 50 seconds to watch a 20 second video.
Really? Takes me about 1:20 to 1:35 between the random 30/45 second advertisement, the 30 seconds of Failblog self-advertisement and fake comment and, finally, the 20 seconds of actual video, which surprisingly wasn’t 7 seconds of video and 13 of slow-motion replay.
I just love how everyone kept on driving.
plowing
That snowplow just rofl’d.
It’s a new fail vehicle! It’s the failplow!!1!
They’d better make a call to the plow king.
I would like to bring to everyones’ attention that school has been canceled in my county this whole week because of FOUR INCHES OF SNOW
Cool story, bro. Almost as good as mine
there are some pretty bad drivers here that wouldn’t know how to drive in winter weather
It snowed during Christmas, and some lady from Alabama was freaking out because she’d never even seen it before. But for a whole week
I see what you’re doing here
I live in this town. It’s Calhoun, GA and that parking deck is an old, worn out deck that’s only 2 levels but it was scheduled for refurbishing. The pillars make the lower level only usable in every other spot and it’s always leaking like a sieve
great plowing man
Oh look, it fell. Lolol
Any one else have the MR. Plow song from the Simpsons stuck in their head now
beat that! copperfield
Well, Its not really his fault he fell through,
thats from shotty construction work …
Snow can cause a thermal effect on the concrete and thus make it fragile. Or the concrete ppl made it on a to cold/hot day.
‘Plough’, cretins.
Maybe one day America will build car parks that can withstand the weight expected to see on them, or buildings that don’t fall down if they get a little bit of fire in them.
I have lived in Maine almost all my life. I did however spend 1 winter in Virginia. The road surfaces down there are completely different! Apples and oranges as far as handling snow and ice. They also have farmers on the roads plowing with farm equipment because they do not usually need the heavy plowing equipment we have in Maine. There is another storm coming through here today and my kids are in school and I am ok with that. If I were in Virginia, I would have kept them home, if they didn’t cancel.
Thanks for the logical comment. Closings and such are based on whether it’s safe or not. States that don’t normally get much snow don’t waste money on snow plows and other equipment which wouldn’t normally get much use. In the rare case when it snows more than normal, they’re unequipped to get crews out to make travel safe, so they shut things down. It’s the best way to keep people safe without having those same people complain about their tax dollars being wasted on rarely-used equipment.
Shhhhh!! its sleeping…
What just happened? Did the ground give way?
did NOT expect that! I lol’ed
