Just amazed the chain remained connected to the trailer---especially in light of the fact that truck hanging off the bridge was an Ford F350 weighing in over 8k lbs.
The safety chains on my trailer would likely fail in that scenario. The chains themselves might be up to the task, but the little scrap of metal they're attached to wouldn't.
