Tractor-trailer falls off Fort Hill Bridge, lands in river

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

An eastbound tractor-trailer lost control on the curve at the Fort Hill (Oakwood) Bridge this morning, going over the side of the bridge and plunging into the Kanawha River below. The passenger apparently survived the accident, but no word yet on the condition of the driver. The bridge is damaged and may have to be closed for repairs. This is the second time this year that a vehicle has fallen off of the bridge after losing control on the curve.
