9/11: NEVER FORGOTTEN The September 11 terrorist attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamist terror...ist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. 9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively.

This tractor/trailer crossed the scale at Otay Mesa and was determined to be overweight. The company was directed to make the load legal before being allowed t...o leave the facility. A short time later, the frame failed causing the load to fall to the ground. Fortunately this happened in our facility and not on the freeway. ***UPDATE*** In reviewing the security camera footage, it appears the failure occurred after X4/5 were slid to the rear and the extra weight of a forklift was added to the trailer. The scaled weight at the time was: X1: 11060, X2/3: 36260, X4/5: 30560. Este camion y remolque cruzaron la vascula de Otay Mesa y se determino que estaban sobrepeso. Se le aviso a la compania que ajustaran la carga para que estuviera legal. Durante el movimiento de la carga fallo el remolque y la carga callo al piso. Afortunadamente esto paso aqui y no en la carretera. ***MAS INFORMACION*** Despues de revisar el video de las camaras de seguridad se ve que el remolque fallo despues de que los ejes X4 y X5 se recorrieron hasta atras y luego entro un montecargas. El peso de ejes era X1: 11060, X2/X3: 36260, y X4/X5: 30560.
