they are disabling the escape routes from Manhattan...
That is a scary thought and is worth thinking about. However, like a poster said, sometimes shi'ite just happens.
Course it wouldn't take much to close down the tunnels into New Jersey. Are flammable materials allowed to go through there? Not like terrorists really bother to play by the rules.

Did police ever identify the driver who caused the tanker truck to wreck? It's my understanding that the truck was cut off by someone cutting in front of him or something similar.

1981? Was that the crash and fire on the Nimitz?

This was handed out this past week on the LA Commuter Railroad.... There are many more deputies on the LAMTA Red Line Subway under downtown LA, and at LA Union Station (100 trains a day now)

they are disabling the escape routes from Manhattan...Nah. If they were disabling escape routes, they would have melted the Northbound lanes, not the Southbound. Besides, a jihadi wouldn't last 5 minutes in Bridgeport. They'd eat 'em alive.

Oficial police report is woman cut off trucker That can't be right, it's always the truckers fault. They shouldn't be tailgating when that car jumps right in front of them and then hits their brakes to make that turn/exit.

May 11, 1979 off the Virginia coast Primary coolant water leaks from one of the two nuclear reactors aboard USS NIMITZ. A navy spokesman says there was no release of radioactivity, no danger to the core, and no danger to the ship's crew.
May 25, 1981 Atlantic Ocean An EA-6B aircraft attempting to land at night struck a helicopter, then hit another aircraft and tow tractor before coming to rest. A fuel fire erupted. Improved flight deck fire fighting systems quickly contained the fire, and once the fire was believed to be out, the order was given to start the clean-up. As sailors approached the scene, a SPARROW missile warhead that was buried in the debris detonated. The explosion restarted the fire and three more warheads detonated before the fire could be extinguished. Fourteen sailors were killed and 45 injured. Three planes were destroyed and nine were damaged.
November 30, 1988 Arabian Sea A 20mm cannon on an A-7 Corsair aircraft accidentally fires during maintenance setting six other aircraft ablaze aboard USS NIMITZ, killing one. NIMITZ continues operations.
April 18, 1996 Gulf of Thailand One sailor was killed and four others injured when an arresting cable on NIMITZ' flight deck snapped and struck a group of sailors. The accident happend as an F-14A came in for landing on the deck and the arresting cable broke. The plane apparently landed safely. It is not known if the plane had to abort its effort to land and circle the ship before returning for a landing.

Of course, one reason is that Connecticut never expanded the highway when it wa built to match the traffic load for this centuryKinda like the LIE.......outdated before it was built

News rpts said both drivers ran from the mess and escaped injury... There were TWO drivers who cut off the truck?
Are the police actively looking for them?

I went into the city (NYC)last week to a seminar at Microsoft. Coincidently, it was on St. Patrick's Day. There were NY State troopers on the trains going in and coming out. At the M'soft building, I had to produce photo ID in order to gain access to the elevators. Either plainclothes or FBI in the lobby scrutinizing everyone. I showed 'em my CT Concealed Carry permit, because at heart, I'm a wiseass and wanted to see their reaction.
They just smiled as they handed it back.

Thanks for the update. The article on Yahoo said that the truck hit a concrete barrier as a result of the actions of a car...the way it was worded was peculiar...and I thought it odd that an oil tanker would explode as a result of impact...I would have thought that accidents were taken into consideration in the construction of safety measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
Peculiar. Especially in light of the upgraded security measures now.

Anyone sure this is a credible news source?

That would be the one.
I never had to fight a fire on the flight deck, but I did have to fight a really nasty grease/dust fire that started in the forward galley exhaust vents.
One of the mess cooks activated the Halon system, but forgot to secure the exhaust fans first, totally ineffective. That duct ran from the 2nd deck amidships to the O3 level, port-side where it exhausted from the ship just forward of the angle. It was initially called as a flight deck fire when all of the smoke started pouring over the angle. About two minutes later, the ducts on the second deck started to melt and rained fire down all over the galley. What a freakin' mess.

After much consideration, I agree that this was just another dumb accident on I-95.
But the Goethals Bridge accident in NYC today had me thinking. There was also another bridge closure in NYC, but it must be cleared up by now since it's not on the radar.
GOETHALS BRIDGE CLOSED
Mar 26, 2004 2:22 pm US/Eastern (1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) One person was killed Friday when four trucks got into an accident on the Goethals Bridge, authorities said..... The bridge, which connects Staten Island to New Jersey, was closed shortly after the 12:40 p.m. accident, and it was not immediately known when the span would be reopened, said Port Authority spokesman Tony Ciavolella. One of the trucks was carrying liquid nitrogen, but there was no leak, Ciavolella added.
