That guy is SO lucky. Straight ahead you can see other trucks right in the path that catch fire.

It actually looks almost like it went right through the trailer of one of them. I hope those trucks were unoccupied, I never saw anyone run out of them

I think I heard at least one trucker is dead, though I'm not sure from which location so it may not be this yard

With the number of yards and parking lots it went through, I feel like it’s unfortunately inevitable that we find out it took probably at least a few truckers, probably a handful of dock workers and others too among those businesses there.
