No need for paranoia here. If you look at the pictures of where the tanker crashed it’s either an accident or the terrorist was an absolute moron.

No point in blowing yourself up on an exit ramp.

Nothing to see here.

Don’t be so fast to jump to conclusions. Remember the Cory Lidle crash?

I find it hard to conceive of structural steel melting at 5000 degrees and causing collapse of the structures. These overpasses were obviously wired with charges prior to the fires.

The United States is a massive country with over 300,000,000 people. The terrorists are going to have to do better than take out a couple of highway overpasses to have any effect at all. In fact, all 9/11 did was make a few of us mad and that ended up with many of them dead.

I say a few of us because evidently even those attacks apparently weren't enough to wake up many of us. All in all, the 9/11 attacks were like a flea temporarily waking up and annoying a sleeping dog.

If this country ever decided to "wake up" for real, the terrorists will be exterminated off the face of the earth.

The al Qaeda connection is in the majority party... currently running both Houses.

Yeah, I had that thought also and I wouldn’t have thought twice about it had it not been for the fact that these occurred in two of the countries largest ports.

Soft-target infra would be an excellent choice to hit, but claiming these were caused by Al Qaeda w/o evidence is going down the Rosie O’Donnell path...

He said the overpass had already collapsed by 4:05 a.m.

Wait a minute!

There must have been charges placed on the support beams.

Everyone knows that a fuel fire can't melt steel and concrete.

With just a moment of thought I conclude that a tanker exploding on the bottom deck of the Bay Bridge would have melted the top deck. Now that would have been devastating. As it stands now there are convenient routes around the melted collapsed freeway and the intact blocked freeway.

A pure boneheaded accident, imo.

There is no way to determine what is going on until we know the identities of the drivers.

The Hi 59 interchange was the same location an ammonia tanker truck crashed about 20 years ago killing about 10-20 motorists.

There was a tanker explosion on an interstate overpass here near downtown St. Pete about three weeks ago. Correct me if I’m wrong, Tampa Bay FReepers, but did anybody ever see a story ID’ing the driver (who was apparently killed in the explosion)?

Yes. The new tactics are needed because apparently the black helicopters just aren’t getting the job done.

LBJ didn’t do it, plausible deniability.

From a tactical standpoint these would have been lame attempts. IMO. I don’t think it was terrorism, again IMO.
