Why This Lithium Battery Crash Shut Down The Freeway For 14 Hours! If you thought the first version was crazy, check out this job all from Alex's point of view!
YouTube got mad at my last one because of the dashcam intro, so I learned my lesson. I guess real life is too "shocking" even if there were no fatals or serious injuries. Oh well, it is what it is.
Alex's version has a ton more behind the scenes, drama, politics and overall a much more grand understanding of just what goes into clearing a massive wreck on the freeway when lithium is involved.
Really hope you guys enjoy this extra long format! We rarely get jobs this long, but if the feedback is good enough I'll try to push more out that are longer and more detailed. Don't forget to stick around for the breakdown at the end!
I truly hope a lot of people see this video so you guys can see first hand what a job on this scale takes to clear, especially one with all the politics of an environmental danger behind it.
