The physics of such a failure are terrifying. A massive vehicle, laden with tons of cargo, becomes a runaway projectile when its kinetic energy can no longer be contained.

Cars were not merely struck; they were crushed, some spun into the median, while others were propelled into the path of oncoming traffic. In a matter of seconds, a symbol of national movement had become a graveyard of twisted steel.
