S92 vs bridge, bridge wins

That driver will probably never see a truck again from the inside. Rather be clearing toilets in future I guess. And his company will have some nasty dicsussions with the insurance. If they pay at all. Otherwise you can probably also kiss the trucking company good bye.

I'm still at a loss how you can forget about that 10million $ load on the back of your Truck!?
One less S-92 in any case. And sadly it seems Sikorsky doesn't to want to build new ones any more. The German Federal Police had a tender running and the S-92 was one of their two candidates. Sadly Sikorsky withdrew from the process.

Doubtful. Heavy hauler drivers especially with drop deck experience are in very high demand. The fact this guy was driving the 92 probably put him in the higher ranks.

Sheet happens. So unless he was drunk, my bet is he'll either maintain his job or be hired the next day by someone else at the same salary. No different than some pilots dinging an aircraft... with customers...and maintaing employment. Given there was an escort vehicle with him will be interesting to see who did what. What is ironic they were only about 1 hour from their destination.

Rocket Lab's launch complex is located in New Zealand, so I'd rule them out unless this airframe was being driven to a waiting Antonov to ship across the Pacific (and then some)...

Not convinced either, still there according to one tracking app.

I wasn’t suggesting it was in NZ, but I know it has been for sale for a while so wondered if it was sold to a US buyer (bearing in mind the colour scheme). I now have it on good authority it’s still for sale.

I’ve since heard it was ex-Babcock Norway on its way to PHI after storage in Norway.
