I have a comment. I have twenty five years as a tractor trailer operator.Now... I went over this over and over again. This company has been at this for many many years. I am shocked that nobody did the math once the load crested the hill the weight became 10 times greater. That being said,Why didn't the trailer brakes hold there was sufficient weight on the trailer for it to stop. The way the lead tractor was behaving is as if the trailer brakes were not even connected which by today's technology makes no sense because they just wouldn't release. And the rear tractor was using a chain to control the load when it became taught instead of a tow bar. And no one bothered to clear the road ahead and there was plenty of space next to the structure in the distance. A lot went wrong here and that machine is no toy.

My 2 cents... Most of the comments are as stupid as this accident. The ONLY this that would have prevented this is working trailer brakes. Too much load weight for two trucks alone to stop on that loose surface period. They actually lucked out that it stopped without gaining speed. This was the best possible outcome and no lives lost. I feel like the top heavy load would have broke the tie downs and been ejected at a high speed. I bet if any of them still have a job they test brakes before they are needed next time. I know I would have if I was moving something like this (after watching this video) but probably would have ASSUMED like they did that everything was working... Very easy to watch this and judge and comment. If you have all the brake lines attached it should work... Right?? one would think. I'm sure everyone on here physically checks to see the calipers are pushing the pads against the rotors every time before they drive by the comments I have read. If you live on a hill do you hit your brakes before you actually need them every day just to be safe and test them? We all get in our vehicles and drive and know when we hit the brake pedal they will work. Why not? They worked yesterday... Again. Very easy to judge this video. Learn from other people's mistakes is the best way to live life. You might live another day.

Never been a part of moving this kind of load but as a traffic controller we are taught about spotting and distance to the load being moved. rule of thumb is outside of "oh shit it went bad" zone plus room to retreat. Lots of people lollygagging and way to close to the load. Road ahead should have been completely clear and the speed of load kept much slower initially.

As the trailer crested the hill, the weight of the trailer wheels was mostly on the rear ones. The front ones without any weight are locked up under braking. The lead tractor is going to lock up easy with relatively little weight on the drives. The loss braking traction at the beginning lead to the runaway. Speed was building quickly; and control was easily lost. I had wondered why the driver did not lift off the brakes and attempt a straight threshold controlled run down as the Forman was indicating him to do; but just at the end you see the path being blocked by a white truck hauling a crane boom. There should have been no traffic at all in the path of travel for this move. What I originally thought was driver error. I now think was a driver with no place to go and running out of options. Might also have been in too low a gear on the planetary drives causing too much braking force on the drive wheels leading to an imbalance in the braking force being applied to the trailer. Lifting off the foot valve and grabbing the independent hand valve (if available) would have also been good. LOL, so easy for us all to armchair drive this in hindsight! I wonder how long it took the driver to stop shaking after this?
@justforever96

Wow, I wish all cameramen were this good! Didn't shake the camera once, kept it on the action instead of dropping it and freaking out, didn't even start yelling and carrying on. Thumbs up for that alone! As for the accident, I don't know. Someone says it was because the truck at the bottom arrived and was in the way. It doesn't appear to have moved, you can see the door open and the driver walking around; if it had been there so long, why didn't they notice it before they got onto the slope? But, on the other hand, the place it's parked doesn't appear to leave any room for the crane to get past, so I don't know. Maybe it did just show up. I also think that the chain they had the second truck attached with seems really small. Wouldn't a bigger chain or drawbar be better? The driver was kind of dumb to jump out like that too. Did he think the crane was going to fall uphill on him or what? Last, I love those trucks; I wish all trucks looked like that. Modern trucks look like Toyota Priuses.

Did they really expect that one tractor to slow that whole load on a dirt road down hill? Looks like they were expecting to go to the bottom of the hill and take a 90 to the right. I would guess that was a 5% grade or better. Bad mistake.

I suspect it wouldn't have made much difference whether the tractor units were tobogganing or rolling. With no apparent trailer brakes, there was simply insufficient adhesion on the gravel surface to prevent slippage. If it hadn't fallen off and ground to a halt it would have picked up catastrophic momentum by the time it had reached the bottom of the slope.
