This is what is known as Piss Poor Prior Planning

BRADENVILLE, Penn. (KDKA) - An oversized trailer hauling a massive wind turbine blade got stuck between homes Tuesday outside Pittsburgh.

It was just beginning a 700-mile trip to Iowa.

    1. Beginning with the state department of transportation's permit office.

      Never trust a guy that sits in an office all day while collecting a guaranteed government paycheck as to which roads you should take when hauling something 160 feet long.

      "So far, no additional comment from PennDOT."
      They'll get back to you as soon as they best figure out how to cover their sorry asses while blaming the tucking company for everything that went wrong.

  2. We have had some 92 metre(301 feet) turbine blades come through our town in the West Ozzie outback lately. They would never make the turn to the heavy vehicle bypass, so they had to go through town and then hook into the bypass at the other end before heading East to a large minesite.
    60 metre quad road trains are always on the road with very few having cornering issues, apart from the odd sun continental "driver" cutting it too fine.
    The blade in the video should never have been on that route, no doubt a highly qualified desk driver approved it.

  3. Everything about wind turbines is Piss Poor since they never come anywhere remotely close to producing the energy it cost to produce them. But it sure does give the dipshit libtards the warm and fuzzys inside when they see one.

    1. Not to mention it gives those who sell them a ton of our taxpayer dollars in subsidies.

  7. The Green New Deal California and other Blue states millionaire liberals sitting in their mansions say a little Pennsylvania peasant discomfort is worth it if the planet is to be saved and the kick-backs keep flowing in from Obama’s federal support (taxpayer funded) for renewable energy deployment scam.

  8. It's PennDOT
    Their excuse for piss poor roads is cold weather - snow & ice - freezing rain.
    Yet you can always tell the moment you drive from NY, NJ and OH into PA - places that have the same weather conditions.

  10. To me it sounds silly to say the "route failed". It makes it sound as if you can pick any random route and it's the routes responsibility to get you there. Sort of like trying to drive to the other side of a lake, and then deciding to drive down the boat ramp and across the bottom of the lake to get there. The route didn't fail, the route planner failed.
