Giant industrial spool rolls down highway as Houston drivers try to dodge it

It's happening for the third time in just weeks!
Drivers Friday morning were forced to make quick moves to avoid a lost load on 610 near Kirby. A giant industrial spool was rolling through lanes of moving traffic.
Authorities say the driver of an 18-wheeler noticed that the load was falling off and immediately pulled over.
Katy students on a field trip recorded video of the huge spool rolling down the highway, with vehicles narrowly missing it.

A runaway spool was caught on camera in October, when drivers were forced to maneuver around a rolling spool.
A second incident happened in November, when Houston drivers were stuck in traffic for hours while crews worked to clear two spools off I-10.

If its happened multiple times somebody needs to figure out how to secure those loads better.

My transporters would use ratchet straps, not ropes.

Sadly this load was dropped from one of my trucks. Luckily the trucks are hidden under shell companies. Not a big liability issue for me.
