This is the comment I like the best from the State Troopers on Facebook, and in this article:
"Finally, check out the amazing engineering that went into the cable barrier system along the Interstate Systems in Louisiana. While not designed for heavy articulated vehicles like a motor home, the system was able to redirect a vehicle weighing over 20,000 pounds."
In reality the cables not only did not stop the motor home, they even allowed the truck to be dragged over the cable system with a minimal amount of damage to it. In the top of the article, before the part from the Trooper, it says that the motor home was Westbound and crossed all of the way across the Eastbound lanes. Perhaps the engineering is not that great on those cable barrier systems and it may have been the cable system that actually flipped the coach.
