Swarms
Steve Beavers was hauling 520 beehives in June 2003 when his flatbed truck skidded on a patch of road near Claycomo, Missouri. The swerve knocked out all the hives and let out about 25 million live honeybees>
The bugs swarmed into a mobile home park, all the residents had to stay indoors for the day. Some went to the fire station and tormented the firefighters that day. When the sun dropped and the temperature so did the bees. Specialists came to gather the sleepy bugs; they scooped them up by the handfuls. One worker said there was 2 inches deep (of bees). Eventually (many hours later) they had recovered most of the bees.
Pouring Ramen
In July 1998, a tractor-trailer carrying packages of ramen noodles spilled its cargo all over the Maryland highway. Right after the spill Mother Nature added the right ingredient water. When the noodles got wet and instantly expanded all over the interstate. Workers used everything to clean it up except forks.
Chocolate road
The Pinheiros highway in Sao Paulo, Brazil, normally isn't anything special, but when a tanker truck overturned and spilled liquid chocolate over the highway, people ran for miles. They came and scooped up chocolate with their hand and ate it. Some kids stripped down to their underwear and dipped themselves in and ran around. Even though this caused a 7-mile traffic jam, one officer said, “this is the best accident ever”.
Eggs
After a small crash on March 31, 2004, about 300,000 egg came down out of a truck and oozed all over the highway in Texas. It took crewmembers over 14 hours to clean up the mess.
Dumping a load
A truck driver rode with his sleeping dog got a shock when his dog woke up, and he lost control of his truck and spilled 50,000 lbs. of toilet bowls. Even though no one was hurt there was a traffic jam for several hours.
The copper road
In March 200 an armor car spilled $4,000 on pennies (400,000)-on a freeway in Seattle, Washington. State transportation came with shovels, but shovels weren't good for picking up pennies, but someone had a good idea: they called in the street sweeping machine to suck up all the coins.
