Really? During Rush Hour?

Another foggy morning, I am on my way to work and guess what? Someone just has to move this oversized tank. It got hung up trying to negotiate the turn onto US 84 in McGregor, Texas...

Back and forth, back and forth, again and again. They were trying to maneuver the tank through the intersection without hitting any of the signs, poles, traffic lights and other obstructions. We sat there and sat there, seemingly for hours. It was only about twenty minutes: it just seemed like hours!

Why couldn't they have moved it late at night or very early in the morning and try to avoid the traffic backup??
