Hats off to all of the rescue workers.  The pictures are unbelievable.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Three people were hurt on Thursday morning when a car was crushed under an 18-wheeler, leaving the big rig dangling off a major highway ramp in Fort Worth.

The incident happened just before 4 a.m. in on westbound Interstate 20 at Interstate 35W in the southern section of the city.

The crash forced the truck off the ramp, leaving the cab dangling perilously.

I know.  They rapelled out to the cab and rescued the truck driver.  From what I heard, he didn't even go to the hospital.  Absolutely stunning.

The passenger's in that car were trapped for three hours.  I'd fear I would never get out of that car if I were in their shoes.  How scary.

They covered this on Fox and it sounded like the semi driver got out before the others.

Yep, he was out by the time I saw the news at about 5:30 am.  The accident happened at 4:00 and the others were pulled out of the car by 7:00.

Very lucky people indeed.

Sounds like they were drunk.  At least the driver was.  Usually when the driver is drunk, he's not the only one, though.

That doesn't change the fact all involved were lucky.
