A truck flipped over in Hawaii Kai the other night. Luckily the driver seemed unhurt , although he was a bit unsteady on his feet. A few of us nosy people hung around to watch the truck get loaded onto a flatbed. I was the last to leave, not because I was the nosiest, but only because I wanted to get pictures for anybody who might be interested. Uh huh . . . really.
Oh, you're one of those lookey-lous! hahahaha!! Amazing how the tow truck driver got that truck turned around. I'm looking at the pictures and wondering what he is doing. Pretty cool! Was this by your house, jalna?
jeez; i'm glad wasn't my car cuz den you wood b taking all the pikchaz an den everybody would know dat 1) i was picking da heinaken from your yard in da dark and 2) i neva wear one clean pair of unda ware!
Cool sequence. Once I watched this tow truck guy try and try and try to flip a car on its wheels. Then another guy came, ran a chain under the and attached it to the frame on the other side. He hooked to other end of the chain to his tow truck and with one quick pull the car flipped over and landed on its wheels. He was done in 10 minutes. Experience counts for tow truck drivers too.
Erick, I was kinda intrigued watching (it doesn't take much to intrigue me BTW). I wasn't sure if he meant to have the truck end up sideways on the bed or not, but I kept wondering how he was gonna fix that.

Wow, that was neat the way they flipped the car over! But uh...didn't someone mention something about a Mercedes??? ahahahahaaaa!!!
Thanks for sticking around. You really captured this feat. I would have been curious as to how to get a flipped truck onto a flatbed.
Hahahaha, Les I know . . . when the truck flipped over I was like . . . "it's a truck!"
Celia, there was a whole bunch of us curious people.
