Sorry to hear about that.
The driver of the forklift should have his liscense taken away!

wow you would have to be going really fast on the fork truck to drive the fork through acrylic that thick! I can see hitting it and ripping the cardboard and chipping the acrylic but to go right through it thats serious!

what a bummer.

What are you going to do with the busted tank? Can you sell it?

 

[KevK]

It stinks you lost the tank, but at least it wasn't full of water.

 

[Scarfish]

You'd be surprised, my parents own a trucking company that I work for, and those things go pretty freakin fast! Haha, I'm afraid to walk on the dock to go out to the dispatch office because I'm afraid of getting run over! (And you should see the things they destroy when the operator is not careful enough, one person dropped a granite sink top the other day, the thing was like 60 inches, and so beautiful. Such a shame.)
