16 Ave on a bike. I freakin hit one by accident and almost destroyed myself :eek:

I have some footage of a moving truck that was moving a hugeass house. Like 3 lanes wide. He hit a bump and the house bailed into the ditch. Footage was just the damage as we were passing back the next day. (Have to dig it up).

I also seen a pipeliner truck (no footage) roll on a narrow bridge. Im not talking a half-ton, Im talking an 18 wheeler.

Hey I know that spot since I worked up there for almot 6 years. Fairly close to the Tempo gas station right?

Spoons - I have seen far too many people hit the whoops - er, I mean, the 'realignment' - at 16 x 4 NW EB and take air, in everything from bikes to semis. Hope the city sorts that out when (if?) they finish 16 Av.

Alak - There was a house a few years ago being moved down Edmonton Tr approaching 16 Av that hit the power lines just north of the Esso. It broke off the peak of the house, started it on fire (!) and shut off power not only to the community but to most of the traffic lights on that stretch of 16 Av. At about 5:30am. On a weekday.
Also, I recall having a photo from one of my fire colleagues of a semi hauling construction equipment that fell off a bridge somewhere like Morrin a couple years ago. IIRC, Calgary was called out because the truck was hanging pretty precariously off the bridge and the locals wanted some help securing it, but as they (CFD) got there, the whole thing went over. Got a photo of the back of the trailer splashing down.
