hello mr rj answer the question if they needed to tie the 350,000 tower to the cradle because it could jump out of the cradle that goes halfway up the tower why would anyone think they don't need to chain the cradle to the trailer since this 350,000 tower can move so easily it can jump out of the cradle so why did they spent the time to tie it to the cradle and not the trailer. and please produce picture of the rig before the wreck so we can see it wasn't tie down as you say. LMAO
good gosh Cradle is a 2 piece that has a center pivot between top and bottom.. tower can only be chained to cradle and base is welded to trailer or whatever you call em. No way you could chain from tower directly to trailer. Exactly. To be able to make a turn there’s no way it was chained to the trailer. If it was a single trailer, yes, they would chain it directly to the trailer, but not in this case. There are no magical binders attached anywhere out in the middle, it’s only chained to the 2 shipping steel platforms. The entire load, 500 million pounds is the rumor, was riding on two pivot points. You can see this one in the picture of it in transport. Circled in red to match 921’s fiery personality. And another picture, in transport, to show there are no other magical binders. The tower was riding on the two pivot points, not the whole load. lol, what was the rest of the load?

Five trailers with the load on the pivot points on the first and last trailer. I guess the middle 3 trailers were just for spanning the distance and not carrying weight.
