What begins with an "f" and ends with a "k"? What this guy said when the cab exploded.
DavedandConfused
Not only is 2020 just a huge dumpster fire, it's taking the truck, the bins and the whole street down with it.

So Waste Management are cheap fools... instead of investing in residential side loaders, they repurpose front end loaders like this...

People, people. The recycling was picked up though.

But.... why were they filming?

oh yea. 2020 the movie

Me: The hydraulics are handling rough... that smoke doesn't look right. Well that spray isn't supported to...HOLY SHIT!
Fancy54321
Well, farts are combustible.
thornedrose27
Somebody just HAPPENED to be filming? And didn't drop the camera when the fire started? Set up.

This design seems needlessly complex

super confused by the title....then not confused at all.
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
Why was someone even taking a video of this anyway?

Video ended too soon. what happen and is the driver okay?

I completely screwed up that comment, but I'm tired, so I'm leaving it there. Goodnight.

This is a really inefficient design. Out trucks empty straight into the crusher

Oh shit!
JackOfAllTradesMasterOfMarketing
dumping garbage to truck, then fluid comes out somehow, then sudden fire. The driver is so lucky to save him otherwise would been burned
That's pretty much it.
FisheswithDynamite
I know I'm not the only one thinking "Cool they incinerate the trash in the truck!" Only to find out I was definitely wrong..
Sabru25
I was actually thinking that might be the case.... then woosh
CollieSis
They did this time, at least!
ps10405
Why were they filming this?
fajere
Well I definitely never seen this kind of garbage truck before (besides the other times it was posted), seems reason enough for me.
claudethegirl
And with cinematic accuracy.
Magjee
People often film the truck picking stuff up
newsguycraigevans
I don't know for sure, but little kids love to watch the trucks, maybe filming for a child.
Kakeukh
Why you askin', you a cop?
All a'm sayin' is that the OTHER company's trucks don't catch fire, eh?
Neinas
People film everything everywhere all the time
True, but what are the chances this particular person was filming this particular day? I doubt everyone films their trash truck every week
That’s the thing with chance.
SmartAssWithAKeyboard
the same as any other. They happened to catch it so it got posted. If nothing happened, you'd never see it.
MadMike75
Seems like they totally complicated the simple idea of getting trash from the can to the truck.
usul1978
Right ?! How long does it take ? 8 hours for each street ?
nero4ty2
they can usually do a whole neighborhood into the large bin and then dump it all at once
Ulthirm
Naw it looks like the hook on conversions for our PITs at our warehouse. Its often easier to just throw the conversion on than to pack the
whole machine up to pull out another machine. Could be that this machine is similar, it might even be possible that they can pick up
both dumpsters and residential with just a bit of work to attach and detach.
Astramancer
at a guess, conversion kit to turn a dumpster truck into a residential truck.
thewiggins
it's a blue bin, so recycling, and it looks like one of those compactor containers like from a supermarket on the back
the style seen here is really common by me, also allows thing not in the bin to be easily dumped, yard waste, bulky items
igobeder
May be because that is recyclables, and the driver can see what is being dumped, easier to insure it's not actual garbage.
jasgstock
Yeah that setup seems odd. Seen plenty of trucks that use the arm, but dump it right into the truck. Extra dumpster attachment seems dumb.
Not only is it extra time, but uses more energy, more maintenance*, etc. (* especially when it MAKES THE TRUCK GO UP IN FLAMES)
DeKetsendeRechter
It also seems a lot less safe to have that in front of your vehicle, but america does not care about vehicle safety.

Fuel line or hydraulic fluid?
Grimmrog
Fueldraulic Fluid obviously
Somerandomoldguy
Hydraulic. Very dangerous.
you go first
GigiDundas
Def Hydra fluid there's too much under too much pressure for fuel I think.
vette08
Hydraulic line blew.
PostMoThoin
What's in it?
hadtochangemyusernamecauseIgotdivorced
What's in a hydraulic line? Hydraulic Fluid which is usually a type of mineral oil.
KindofaBadPerson
Y it go fwoof?
A hydrolic line is under significant pressure. When a line blows there is 2 dangers 1: it disperses into a cloud and is at high risk of
Sprayed on the hot exhaust.
itsahorse
Diesel is not that explosive
Look up fuel air explosion. That will change your outlook on things that are not that explosive.
grukman
Once it’s atomized it’s very flammable. If it hits a hot surface (i.e exhaust pipes etc) it will burn even easier than gasoline.
tyrfin
Diesel will absolutely burn like this if you atomize it through a pinhole leak under several thousand psi
In this case it is an even less flammable substance, hydraulic oil. Fuel injectors are carefully designed to do the exact same thing
...with diesel or gasoline as the leaking hydraulic line is doing here. Only more, you know, controlled.
myballshurt
Most WM trucks now are CNG. Hard to tell but probably hydraulic fluid
jedderrick
Certified natural gravy?
Compressed Natural Gas. The decomposing waste in landfills produces methane, they reuse it to power their garbage trucks.
WARHAMMER405
Granger does the same thing in Lansing.
TheBlueMuppet
Is that efficiency or irony?
KnifeKnut
Yes.
I suspect it's mostly "in pursuit of state funding available if you look green enough"
Nikolai5
They need to close down wherever that truck came from. Badly designed and poorly maintained.
China?
They are not closing down WM any time soon. I think they do garbage collection all over much of the U.S. and parts of Canada.
JustinSaneFire
Yeah there's no chance in hell. I wonder what their profits look like? Its gotta be insane. I mean I paid 300 per every 6 months for 2 cans
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/WM?p=WM&.tsrc=fin-srch
I'm not a stock broker. I have no clue at what I'm looking at aside from the fact that their stock has dropped pretty significantly
DumberBlonde
Hydraulic fluid?
FistingWithJalapenoDoritoFingers
Release the schmoo
cardsox
Looks like skydrol. Which basically is hydro but will burn your skin.
Ratsnretsew
Garbage truck tech here- the truck is fueled by natural gas. My guess is hydraulic leak ignited the fire, but an issue with the NG /1

Hydraulic. A dump truck blew a line at one of my campuses. Huge mess. Took several hours to clean up. Had to pressure wash the area after.

paintingofasadclowninanironlung
Tempting, but still no.
Side fueled the fire. Atomized oil will burn, but you can see a fog come from behind the cab just before the hyd leak /2
ProphetofEntropy
once your hydraulic fluid is at its flash point its as flammable as gasoline, why the hydraulic coolers need fixing sooner than later...
Yep exactly. Good chance that truck doesn't have a cooler though. 250-300L reservoir to allow for cooling
yea those dont always account for extra heat from things wearing out. or bad repair creating a restriction or anything else.
dunewolf
Perhaps they should add a cooler?? seems like a design flaw without one..

Flammable?
daychilde

MrXtacle
Hydraulic fluid is extremely flammable when turned into mist. Previous place of work had an accident during a pressure test. 1/2
2/? a small leak in a hydraulic line, caused the fluid to mist and fill up the garage. When they opened the gate, air rushed in and when
3/? It reached the right stoichiometric scale, a halogen lamp on a camera caused it to ignite. One life threatening, six with serious burns.
