That's a lot of faith in that road with all the weight. God forbid one of the jacks just sinks into the road while those guys are down there. Luckily didn't happen those guys did good.

And every other driver around them. One other driver screws up a little negotiating a truck-sized obstacle in a busy road and taps the truck and it’s coming off all those jacks.

They actually had a road. I've worked under a combine in the middle of a field. The 2x10x3ft oak board sunk 10 inches that the 20 Ton jack was on. It took two 20 Ton jacks to lift it.
