Today is the anniversary of that tragic accident, no one but the driver passed away, thanks to his decision he made, to take his own life and spare others lives, by crashing his truck. He was a brave and compassionate man!!!

Harry was a great one.

Great song...well in the video at the 4 minute mark, I would have totally shit myself driving down the freeway and see that coming at me. Gives me chills thinking about it.

Born and raised in Scranton. -Harry Chapin never got permission from my friend's family to write a song about.My friend that I grew up with, is the granddaughter of banana truck guy. Well of course she spoke up and said, "You know, that was my grandfather. He never got to watch his children grow up or meet his grandchildren this song opened some very painful wounds for them. My mom was a little kid, and said it was obsolutely terrible. They couldn't get it cleaned up for a few days, and there were search parties for body parts and everything." She still remembers the smell.

It was interesting, and a bit frightening, to actually see over the shoulder of a driver who took the course of the hapless driver of the song. As we visually took the ride with him, it made everything all the more devastating when we saw the crash you posted. More or less as UpTweakin described it.This was done well, and I appreciate the work that went into this.

Who can sing a song about bananas and create such wonderful lyrics other than Harry Chapin. Pure genius and badly missed.

Jim Marsh

The song brings back memories for me. I just did a version, too. Thanks for having the picture of Christ right in the middle!

Now we need 30,000 gallons of ice cream to make one hell of a banana shake (possible a cement truck to make it). LOL

UpTweakin

You see, I was there, and saw the whole thing... We were on our way to Oakland CA.The Greyhound was behind us. It was a nice sunny day... WHEN the bananas fell off the front of the trailer and slipped under the rear wheels, causing a jacknife. The truck spun 360 degrees at 70 miles multiple times- Taking out everything in its path. Yep! Thoses were the days folks...

I tried finding the best images to match the song, so it def could have been better, thanks for the compliment
