‘Thanksgiving is canceled?’ Truck with 10,000 frozen turkeys catches fire in Florida
Florida has had some strange cargo dumped onto its highways over the years:
Beer. Cash. Manure. A herd of cows. The list goes on.
And now, we can add turkey to our “Oh, Florida” Bingo card.
On Thursday, an 18-wheeler carrying 10,000 frozen turkeys caught fire in the westbound lanes of Interstate 4 near Sanford in Central Florida, according to the Seminole County Fire Department.
Fire crews said no one was injured. We can’t say the same for the food.

It got the flame-grilled treatment — and likely came out overcooked. Some of the turkey also spilled onto the road around the charred and destroyed truck and got some of that highway seasoning.
Naturally, the sight, which one Facebook user described as “pretty fowl,” led to some jokes on social media:
“So ..... when is the turkey buffet???”
“Did S2 neutralize the Turkey juice?”
One Facebook user also asked the burning question:
“Does this mean ... Thanksgiving is canceled this year?”
