    Translation

    Driver: Call the police, call the fire dept., call everybody!

    Guy: You’re in Guangzhou Bay; here we call the Paw Patrol!

      It’s pissing me off that this was my first thought too.

      “We’re gonna call the who?”

    I’m guessing from the rain and the bare earth that this was a landslide?

      Correct, there’s been massive flooding in the area.

      Looks like it. One set of pillars seems to be gone (the bridge in the front) dropping two segments, and the foundation of the pillar on the rear bridge has seriously moved around - you can see that the pillar is anything but straight, causing one segment to fall.

      So either the foundation was not set deep enough, or the pillars broke just above the foundation. And for some reason, the segments were just placed on top of the pillars and not connected to each other by steel cables running the full lenght of the bridge.

        another option: he was not rescued

        The cab breaks off and he plummets to his death?

    That’s a heck of a lot of faith in the holding strength of the fifth wheel.

      I mean, what else can he do at this point? Try to climb out himself? That sounds way riskier than waiting for the rescue team.

      There is not much else to have faith in here at that point. Luckily, the coupling was not as unmaintained or underspec as many other things in China are.

    Don’t think I’d just be calmly sitting at the open door. I’d probably be curled up on the floor wishing I hadn’t shit my pants
