Ironically, the accident was caused one of the truck's tires blowing out, due to a ruptured innard tube.

funny thing. This happened on 101 in san fransisco a while back while i was driving. Dodging cow intestines isn't hard in a huge traffic jam...but it sure does smell bad...

He won't have the guts to do that again!

That sure is a whole lot of tripe.
Still, there's not much reason to gripe.
It's mid-February.
Now, this would be scary
In August, when things would get ripe.

I was just thinking if it were August and hot enough, just sling in some peppers and eggs...voila...dinner is served.

Vermont just outlawed the following for safety reasons: music players, cow intestines, bones, beef byproducts, 25 year old men, anyone named Ryan, Interstate 43, driving at 2:15 am and semis.

sivazh it did say intestines and bones, not lips and assholes.

Well, that depends on how close to each end the intestines were cut off, doesn't it?

Whats teh big deal? This happens in Seattle at least once a week. It always seems to be on I-5 underneath the convention center. Theres some truck that goes through there on a regular route to some dog food company that always loses part of its load. Guts everywhere. Had to wash the stink out of my undercarriage on several occasions. Few months ago some poor schmuck got hit in the windsheild with a pile and had to take the exit there that takes you right to the center of downtown to pull the shiat off his car.

So that's what beef by-products are.yuck.

If it had been sheep intestines, they could have scraped it up and made the world's biggest haggis!

Something doesn't add up here. Almost 80,000 lbs? Trailers are limited to approximately 45,000 of freight. The article didn't specify if it was a piggyback or not, but I'm guessing the author took the weight of the entire rig and mistook it for the load of guts.

Nah, chorizo is made from salivary glands - not intestines.

Can I just point out that the "40 tons" measurement is almost certainly bullshiat?

40 tons = 2000lbs x 40 = 80,000lbs.

80,000 lbs is the gross legal weight of a semi plus it's load. Even when a truck runs overweight, an 80k load weight is ridiculous. The trailer would fall to pieces. Thus, we either have an extremely stupid journo who thought that 1 ton = 1000 lbs, or a mildly stupid journo who thought that for some reason 20 tons of cow guts wasn't sensational enough.

/20 tons of guts is still icky
