Please re-open the U500 thread!

Nah, just a guy who has been a mod before on other sites and probably would have gone another way in this case.

I can see banging Erwin with the ban hammer, especially if he'd already been warned.

But the thread itself was useful.

And I'm not gonna be the one to duplicate the work in another thread. You can if you want.

Or what? A new thread that is nothing but a link to a locked thread? I'm still not sure haven wasn't pulling my leg with that one.

Nah, I know who you are. Yoda is referring to individuals who JUST registered and only have 2 posts, yet seem VERY interested in the outcome of this topic. Troll level, NINJA.

That's easy. Even easier for you to just unlock it. And if Erwin's banned anyway, why not?

Ah. Yea I hadn't done any sleuthing. I just agree that it should be unlocked. No opinion on Erwin, dunno what he did to get warned and then banned. Don't care either - I assume the mods have their reasons.

But whatever it was, I don't think it affected that thread.

Woops. Unintentional double quote. But if I try to edit it with this phone, vBulletin will magically delete my post and I'm not in the mood for a do-over, so it stands.

What is the decision?

There's a thread on Benzworld about the event:

Does anyone know if the U500 plastic cab was subject to the cab roof strength test and passed? http://www.fireapparatusmagazine.co...-custom-cabs-part-2-the-safety-standards.html

What surprised me about the final report was the picture of the weatherchecking on one of the Unimog's tires. I would not have driven a vehicle with tires in that condition over 20 or 30 miles an hour until I got them replaced. Are other people comfortable driving on tires in that kind of condition?

OK, the U500 accident thread is reopened. Erwin Z's contributions have been deleted.
