>What on Earth, was this discussion thread all about?
What was this supposed speed doubling?
Truck wheels are big and heavy - they can pull off, they can run on
if the trailer was swinging at the time, and they can bounce up and land
in someone's frontage.
I just don't see the mystery.
The "mystery" is that the highway patrol claims, as if it was a known
fact of physics, that when the wheels come off of a truck in this
(not very well described) fashion, their speed doubles (in this case,
from 55 to 110 mph). This point was included in the article, if you
read it :-)
