Fiery Crash Collapses California Freeway
AP ^ | 4/29/2007 | MARCUS WOHLSEN

What strikes me as strange is a gasoline truck fire can melt and collasp a freeway and ther are no conspiracy nuts hollering.

But, when the government said jet fuel weakened the steel in the Twin Towers everyone said it was impossible.

So, it must be George Bush;s fault.

That's because everyone knows the religion of peace gang would insure maximum collateral damage and not waste the truck on an open freeway with no deaths. This is Islam's strength.

No problem - this is at least the fourth post of the same story anyway (but the more the merrier on this one, I'd say).

...but the truck's driver walked away from the scene with second-degree burns.

Personally, I would have been running like hell, but that's me.

Point taken. Ironic that this event took place in the heart of Nutterville.

That's because there was no fire and no collapse. Reorganize your thinking, citizen, before we have to report you for BadThought.

Does it make sense to put sprinklers along the underside of some freeways’ elevated decks?

“Does it make sense to put sprinklers along the underside of some freeways’ elevated decks?”

Passing a law prohibiting tankers from crashing and burning would probably be as effective.

Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in history, fire has melted asphalt... and rubber... and plastic... and little bits of that unknown material that gathers by the Jersey wall...

Fire From Crash Melts Calif. Freeway (phillyBurbs.com) | National

"Witnesses reported flames rising up to 200 feet into the air. Heat exceeded 2,750 degrees and caused the steel beams holding up the interchange from eastbound I-80 to eastbound Interstate 580 above to buckle and bolts holding the structure together to melt, leading to the collapse, California Department of Transportation director Will Kempton said."

Three nice images...
