As a Trucker my question is why he didn't pull the pin and just let the trailer drop on it's knees ? I'll need to watch it again to see if he could've gotten near the pin. We can see he pulled the suzies ( that's the only reason to be behind the cab). Sod the Suzies. Pull the pin and get that cab away from the fire.

This report neglects to tell viewers that the truck was transporting "agricultural grade milk powder" for Mole Valley, according to a representative for the company, _not_ "potentially hazardous chemicals" as said here. Mole Valley also said that the fire was likely caused by a wheel or tyre failure.

Soooooooo Milk powder like coffee creamer and flour has the potental to be a low explosive in the right situation - becuase its a powder if it gets into the air it can burn rapidly and hotley. Flour mills have been known to explode due to poor dust control, and milk powder probably has more calories in it then flour. Just becuase something seems inocuous does not mean its not "Potentialy Hazardous".

@@aldo5428 The situation is even worse for agricultural vehicles. Sixteen-year-olds are allowed to drive these, so they do because their minimum wage is lower, and it is often a hundreds-of-horsepower monster that is the size of a house, being driven at reckless speed along narrow country lanes, while towing a grossly overloaded trailer.

In Germany they would have closed the autobahn and then got all those vehicles off by opening the barriers and allowing them to turn around but the Highways agency does not have a clue how to manage this type of incident it is the same when it is heavy snow they allow the traffic to get stuck for up to 11 hours instead of closing the access and turning round the traffic so they do not freeze to death.
