Sorry for the low quality pictures, I only had my old phone on me today when I stumbled upon this mishap.

i was gonna say please tell me you werent dumb enough to do that lol

nobodyspecial 05-27-2011 09:46 PM

Nope, but I wouldn't blame them either. It sure didn't look like that last night when they tried to cross, but the road washed out underneath them.

hope they got out and are safe

Wow, I would prob have tried to cross too, I've driven through a hell of amount of water with the work truck this year.

Too bad they got pushed off like that.





Also on a side note, I hope ur property fairs well with the flood.

Water is a force to be reckoned with:

wowzers. so i see tailgate and a tail light, meaning that it is a solid 15-20 feet deep right there?

Dan look close your seeing the side of the truck. Look at the bed side, you can see the pocket hole on the right side, and look further up and see the cab covered with weeds or whatever it is. Basically it's not sitting nose down, it's sitting on it's drivers side.

Still pretty deep considering the left side of the cab is under water, probably what? 7ft or so?

fatdan460 08-06-2011 04:37 PM

alright, gotcha. cab must be all smashed to hell from the way i'm seeing it now.

monsterbaby 08-06-2011 04:41 PM

oh I don't know, I see there is no windows but the original pics show the windows are down or broken. I think it's just the combination of the angle of the truck and the natural angle of the cab sides above the main body line.

I am sure it''s been beat to heck tho

Hey josh can you grab the seats out of it for me? Crew needs interior and im broke. :flipoff:

fatdan460 08-06-2011 10:56 PM

lame. i saw that joke coming from a mile away.



p.s. the seats would still probably smell better than any of the junk you'll end up buying in wv :flipoff2:

Wow.. That actually happened to a friend of mine when Douglasville flooded back in '09. He nearly drowned. Thankfully, he was able to crawl out of the truck and onto the roof..

On an almost reminiscent thought, my 4WD did see alot of use during the flood.. Mainly pulling people out, and crossing shallow water.

Hopefully these guys got out of there alright.
