Any bets on driver fatigue being a contributing factor? I mean, ignoring all those flashing lights and audible warnings (not to mention what must've been a hellacious racket from scraping aluminum) is obtuse even for Texans.
-- Steve's seen similar oopsies at a particularly notorious underpass here in London, but those are usually leased trailers driven by move-it-yerselfers.
I can't tell where this is located, the buildings are not unique enough to me. Probably one of the midtown tunnels or underpass before the tunnel (Lincoln, Mid-Town, Holland). There used to be HUGE I-beams in front of the Holland Tunnel to protect it from oversized trucks ("13 feet, WE MEAN IT!") but they were removed (wimps!).
