How in the Hell could that even go around a sharp curve let alone a corner. Seems like a load like that should have been moved by rail.

All of those trailer tires are steerable with remote control. Don’t know how it got in such a bind to have the load break loose. Very unusual.

All of the axles on those trailers are steerable. They turn a lot sharper than they look like they could. Of course the route has to be chosen carefully because of the overswing, height, and width. I’ve seen power plant parts that were over a million pounds transported by truck.

You’re right! Rail is probably forbidden by Byedone. (semi-sarc)

Can you see how that thing would have been loaded on a string of flat cars? A course would have to have been plotted to make sure there wouldn’t be any sharp curves or bridges tall enough to accommodate that thing.
