bow your heads in a moment of silence

:'( on my way home last night from work I was traveling west on I-76 in Akron, Ohio. I saw a little flat bed trailer starting to sway, it lets loose flips over and smashes against a guardrail. We all stop and run over to make sure no one(thankfully no person was injured at all) is hurt appears the trailer had snapped off at the ball and unfortunately the safety chains also broke. To make a long story short as I looked at what was all over the ground what I could make out was couple of galaga machines, a King of Fighters and some that I could not make out. Found out the drivers name was Steve and he had just purchased them in Youngstown.....they were all destroyed with parts everywhere. 6 machines in all.............I'm sorry I can't go on

6 cabs incorrectly loaded in a small trailer will do that...

I would have at least looked for salvageable parts (boards, controls, harnesses). Even organ donors can help save others, and then they would not have died totally in vain.....

The cabs and monitors were certainly all toast, but the coin doors, control panels, and boardsets would have a pretty good chance of survival, while the wiring harness could be fine, or could be ripped in half.
