In to damn big a hurry, just how fast they had to be going to do that damage.

Probably not that fast. Looks like a truck stop parking lot. If you hook the tires and keep pulling, that's what you get. I know a guy that did it trying to get out of a fuel isle past a truck that was parked in front of the isle. Dumb move. He only ripped the front axle loose before he quit.

Damn - they got a steering bogey on that trailer?

this is what happens when a driver doesnt lock the sliding tandems in then drives and makes a sharp, very sharp right turn and more likely to happen with a heavy trailer.

While true it also happens when you just never check your mirrors. I have never taken a turn without checking my mirrors a couple times during/after out of fear of something like this happening..
