It's shocking behavior yes. On another note I wasn't aware that a truck could capsize, generally not enough water on the roads for a truck to qualify as a boat.

People are poor and hungry.
Its another story if its people with nice fancy cars that pulls up and loot, they then just damn opportunistic.
Nature of the Human being I suppose.

Whats wrong with that?
That load is most probably insured. regardless if it stays there to rot or gets taken they will get paid out.
Dont see why its wrong that the people are taking it.
On the other hand where someone breaks down a door or window to loot from a shop i would say thats wrong.

It's not yours, that's what wrong with it.

Not so much the stock but the principle.
The fact is it's not yours too take.
Perhaps there is a policy where these spoils are donated to a charity of some sort but then these guys are robbing them of what could have been theirs.

Not worth my life, I have a family!
Don't you think that's what the truck driver said?

Probably but I'm not blaming him at all.
I'm blaming the well dressed gentleman in the front of the pic with boxes of fish that doesn't belong to him.
Well typically, this stock will not get used at all - it will be put back into a supplier by a salvage merchant, obviously after he has placed his cut on it.
I wouldn't stop to pick something up, that's just me, but whoever wants to stop and pick it up, they should go for it. It's all paid for anyway with cartage insurance.

How is that even remotely the same? Goods that will be seen as spoiled and discarded, being taken away by less fortunate people can eat it, vs someone's car getting stolen and sold?
I have spend a lot of time in less fortunate communities, was also involved many years ago with homeless kids. You will be surprised how much "disposable" food will mean to most people.

I suppose it depends on many factors.
If it was dry stock (non-perishable), it could still be used and so it makes the looting a lot more serious, where it could instead be picked up by a secondary vehicle and delivered as intended.
Perishable goods should be chucked after an accident like that, so I say let them take it. Don't come with orphanage stories because I doubt it would even be in the minds of the owners of this business right now. They've just lost a very valuable vehicle and most likely have a very angry client to deal with who isn't going to receive their order.
Insurance for the load - depends if the owner even bothered with it? I am in the transport industry and I can say from first hand experience that owners who skimp on maintenance costs like 99% of them do will most certainly not have insurance for the loads. Maybe basic insurance for the vehicle itself.
