If that was more of a long term storage facility, you could probably get away with that "accident waiting to happen" for quite awhile. Obviously they don't have earthquakes.

Somehow these started coming into my feed. Like parking lot tow videos you can just get hooked on watching the same result over and over. The bridge is now famous. It cannot be raised or the street lowered so trucks are supposed to go around. If you see a rental (Ryder, etc) go under and get caught be sure to laugh as the local rental firms inform the customer that the optional insurance will not cover them if they go under. Talking $15-30K repairs on a 28' straight truck.

I was a hundred yards behind a truck hauling a large track excavator and the knuckle of the boom was to high to go under a railroad bridge. I watched the excavator unload in a partial second and go spinning round on the highway in front of me.

I love alternate history discussions, this one is a good one. If not for slavery Mexico would surely have been annexed in whole. Like the video states there would have had to have been a transition period where it held the status of a glorified protectorate as it culturally transitioned to being American. Men on the make would have drifted in and helped this process.

What would "Mexican America" look like today had it been annexed? Law might be different as LA law is today (code law not common law base.) It could be "America's Quebec" with Spanish widely spoken. The average Mexican would probably be living far better off.
