saw this on my feed and can't imagine watching a brand new truck burn down like this

was scrolling earlier and came across these photos of a brand new Ford that apparently caught fire during a work trip.

whatever happened, the thing ended up burned almost completely down to the metal on the side of the highway. pretty much everything inside looked cooked too.

what weirdly caught my eye was the luggage in the back. you could still make out what looked like a level8 suitcase sitting there, warped and roasted along with everything else.

obviously the truck is the actual disaster here, but seeing such a normal travel thing sitting in the middle of all that wreckage made the whole photo feel even stranger.

one minute it's just someone's work trip setup, next minute it looks like modern art.

Man, losing your work gear on the road is a special kind of hell. I travel weekly for consulting and my biggest fear is losing my hard drive or having my suitcase shredded. Actually kind of wild that the level8 suitcase in the pictures didn't completely melt down. Usually those hardshell cases disintegrate into toxic sludge the moment they get near high heat. Glad your coworker is safe though cars can be replaced but that's a scary way to start the week
