This is just one of those miracles:

A tractor-trailer carrying 35,500 pounds of explosives overturned and exploded Wednesday, injuring several people and leaving a huge crater on U.S. 6 in Spanish Fork Canyon.

The truck was “pretty much vaporized” in the explosion, Royce said.

The explosion left a crater in the two-lane highway estimated to be between 60 feet and 80 feet wide and between 20 feet and 35 feet deep, Utah Department of Transportation spokesman Tom Hudachko said.

“The entire road is gone, shoulder to shoulder, there’s no asphalt left,” he said.

The explosion also destroyed part of the adjacent railroad tracks and some fiber optic telephone lines buried along the road, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Doug McCleve said.

Go see the pictures. There is a 20 ft deep hole where a road used to be. Then we get to this

The truck’s driver, a 30-year-old man, was transported by helicopter to University of Utah Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition, spokesman Chris Nelson said. The driver was alert and talking to medical staff when he arrived.

Witnesses to the accident rushed to help the driver and his passenger, freeing the pair from their safety belts, McCleve said. Without the help, “they would not have survived.”

The truck was basically vaporised – and these people lived by getting out in time.

Amazing.
