Good thing the Amish were there to help them out.For the best content in Philadelphia, Like Meanwhile in PhillyPosted by Meanwhile in Philly on Sunday, January 24, 2016
This weekend's record-breaking blizzard brought some of the heaviest snows the East Coast has ever seen -- but that didn't stop people (and horses) from doing their jobs.
Over in Central Pennsylvania, a tanker truck got stuck in the snow. Tanker trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, so pulling them out of the snow is no easy feat.
In a video shared on Facebook by Meanwhile in Philly, an Amish horse and buggy successfully drag a truck out of a snowbank. Sure, teams of horses may not be the most modern means of transportation, but the animals do a remarkable job pulling a huge pile of dirty metal out of a snowbank, in hellish conditions.
Think of how many humans you know who would do the same.
Watch and marvel at these mighty beasts.
