Sorry, no pics. Wouldn't you know it the one time I don't have my camera in the car. I was tied up in traffic on my way to go running this afternoon and on the other side of the road (a major road in Pittsburgh) there was an entire carrier loaded with SUV's (6 or 7) burnt to a crisp. The last SUV on the top back of the truck still had a sticker in the window and some paint left on the back...the rest were crispy black and the entire carrier had caved in in the middle. I could not even make out what kind of SUV's they were...maybe 4-Runners. It was 2 blocks down from a Toyota dealer. Man they must be pissed. It was a pretty impressive sight though. I despise SUV's so I'm not that upset ;)

Seen one going down 99 south bound(in California) fully loaded with
Excursions, guess it was a little to high for one overpass, needless to
say it took them 2 weeks to repair the overpass.

There are pics floating around from two years ago when a car carrier with 6 M5s and 2 X5 4.4s were destroyed in a fire. Seems the car carrier had a blowout which wrapped around the axle. The wrecker operator got the bright idea to dislodge the tire but cutting it out with a torch. The rest is history as the entire thing went up in flames.

I once got caught in a sudden downpour and all hell broke lose. The thing that scared the crap put of me was when a car carried loaded with Nissans jackknifed, went into a ditch, and flipped. That combined with a Greyhound bus that went into the median as well as cars bouncing off of each other like pinballs topped things off. I am still amazed I came out of it unscathed since everyone else around me took some damage.
