Don't you find it really odd that so many trailers are coming loose and causing all of these accidents and death's and even a cop in California and nobody is providing us an answer as to "Why Did The Trailer Detached?" 

Over 700 will die in 2019 and over 35,000 will be injured mostly by "Passenger Vehicles That Tow Trailers" 

and tractor trailers that also have their trailers come loose.

Why is this happening?  We keep asking questions as to why nobody in Government not a single public safety agency is asking the question we have been asking for over 16 years!  Why!
