I read about this.  Many think the driver could have reacted differently.  Regardless, amazing the strength these animals have.

I bet that woke everyone up.  The people down on the floor don't realize that canvas side of the truck would provide little to no protection.

Once in a lifetime scare.  But elephants have been used for heavy lifting for years.  That truck isn't terribly heavy, it's not like a semi you see on the roads here locally.  That trucks front end, might at most weight 1300-1500lbs.  While heavy, considering the weight of that animal isn't much.

Can't elephants lift like 2X of their body weight?  Which means they could toss that entire truck if they could grab it.
