I noticed an area code 781 on one of the trucks. It is located somewhere in Massachusetts.
Is that a local tradition?
The bridge has become a tourist attraction and has it own youtube and wikipedia page.
Meanwhile in Norway, a container ship "NCL Salten" ran aground right next to a small cabin. No one was hurt, the homeowner slept through the incident.

Local authorities arrested the ship's second officer, a Ukrainian citizen who admittedly fell asleep on watch.
