50 Times Cargo Spills Were really Funny and not disastrous

The Great Pork Escape

Thankfully, this spill proved to be good for someone. It happened, when a truck carrying 2,200 alive(not baked into hams) piglets met with an accident and each animal escaped harmless into Ohio woods before the authorities came in.

This leads us to the question if the pigs were involved in planning the accident. (knowing where they were being taken to.) 

Did Someone Call The Ice Cream Man?

I know it’s bad for the children who hear this story but imagine how difficult would it have been for the cleanup crew. A truck carrying tons of ice cream was en route to a store in Kroger while it was passing through Indianapolis crashed and spilled 35,000 pounds of the tasty dessert. This happened in 2013. I knew how badly you wish you’re there but the complete consignment was inedible by the time the first cleaning staff reached the spot. 

Unleash The Ducks!

Would you believe if someone said, the ocean could be your bathtub? This spill made it one. A cargo ship spilled all its content into the deep blue ocean. How does that make it a bathtub? The contents that the cargo ship was carrying were 29,000 plastic ducks, blue turtles, and green frogs. The clean-up was done but by then the ocean had claimed some of the toys. Some of them, even today find their way to the shore and beachgoers imagine how this ended up in the ocean.

It’s Raining… Money!

How would it be if you got some extra cash just before Christmas? Delightful, isn’t it?

On December 11, 2018, some commuters on Route 3 in East Rutherford got lucky when a cargo truck carrying freshly minted money crashed and let out all the money on the highway. The accident could have been worse but there was no major injury. The situation was dangerous but who would let such a golden chance slip away. The passers-by pounced on the money and before the authorities could arrive on the scene some of them had got lucky.

The Best Kind Of Crab Feast

Dinner made good! In the summers of 2013, a truck carrying fresh crabs overturned in on the freeway and the motorists couldn’t stop themselves from collecting their tasty dinner. The truck was carrying over seven tons of fresh juicy meat and might have been heading to some processing unit but you know how they say, “What is allotted, cannot be blotted.” The incident costed a ton for the poor driver. It was exactly $176,000!

80,000 Pound Of Ham Mixed With Fuel

This happened in Georgia around December of 2013. A truck was carrying ham most probably for Christmas when it met with an accident and all the ham lay on the road. Not a nice Christmas, isn’t it?

The bad part was that not a piece could be recovered because it was soaked in the fuel that went leaking from the cargo when it was hit.
