TV Tragedy

2 July I was transporting 6 televisions from my girlfriends house to my garage in San Antonio. The right front tire blew on her Toyota van. I then side swiped a Semitruck and was struck from behind by the wide load of steel it was hauling. Was then put into a 360 degree plus spin at highway speeds. I was able to keep the car off the cement wall and off the grass. I know what you are all thinking and Tony Stewart did not run into me. The Tv destruction was massive. My new late 40's Crosley 10" combo took a direct hit. The crosley was then pushed into my Zenith Space command 300 tv. It suffered cabinet damage and a busted CRT. The chassis to the crosley was in front with me. It survived intact. The Cabinet did not. You can see the part of my other Zenith sticking out the back window. It along with my 1951 Raytheon survived with minimal cabinet damage. I will have to rebuild the Crosley though.
