: Yes it would. Did you know that many flat-bed steel-haulers weigh up to 80,000 pounds, load&truck combined? Even a Dodge Polara would be nothing but a pancake after being hit by one of these. My point? We truckers are the masters of today's highways!!
Hmmmm. I seem to recall a Boeing 737 trying to cross a bridge in NY, didn't make it but squashed two 18 wheelers before taking a swim. Wonder what can take out a 737? Asteroid maybe? ;^)
