Tanker Landing Gear Collapse (PICS)
Bad day at work. Landing gear collapsed on me with the LOADED tanker- 42,000lbs+ of UN1993 flammable liquids. Luckily, it didn't go all the way over and there was no rupture, no release, no injuries. And I got to take the first drug and alcohol test of the new year.

Doh!
Why the drug test? Clearly this was equipment failure. Or was it just a standard test?

Drug test is SOP for an incident at work resulting in injury and/or damage. I don't care- covers my butt. As do the pictures I took after everything settled down showing the gear was fully extended and showing the crossmember snapped.
The landing gear was "repaired" last week. Not well:    -p.

The pneumatic valves on the trailer require the trailer air supply to be hooked up. -p. |
