41chevy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) 5:30 this morning a SWIFT unit carrying Water Melons on the Long Island Expressway had it's trailer catch fire. Looking at the video looks like the refrigeration unit lit off. Figured Water Melons would be self extinguishing...

other dog Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I've heard of a watermelon roast before, first time i've seen pictures of one, or heard of one this big. I believe that at most watermelon roasts they only roast one watermelon. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I would guess the drivers lack experience, knowing about his unit, it's operation, apparent lack of common sense and the ability to recognize a problem brought this about. Scary and a sad state for a lot of major companies today.
