Utah highway "gone" after explosion
By Jennifer Dobner The Associated Press
The explosion Wednesday afternoon left a giant crater - estimated to be 70 feet wide and 30 feet deep - on U.S. 6 about 60 miles south of Salt Lake City and forced the two-lane highway's closure in both directions.
DJ newswire..
14:43 DJ NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The FBI in Los Angeles has issued an advisory,
warning
it has information that al-Qaida could try to use trucks to ram gas tankers,
Cable News Network reported Thursday.
The advisory said such an attack could happen in New York, Los Angeles or
Chicago between now and Sept. 19, CNN reported.
A Department of Homeland Security official told the network the
information is
being evaluated, but the source is of questionable reliability.
Another source told CNN the information isn't very credible.
The FBI advisory was sent to law enforcement agencies Wednesday, according
to
CNN.

November, 04 - FBI seeks help in missing fuel tanker case:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/12/fuel.tanker/index.html
Your picture reminds me of an incident a few years ago on Cape Cod near Otis Air Force Base. They were doing some target practice on the base when one of the shells overshot its mark and landed in the middle of the main highway on Cape Cod. It exploded right in front of the car being driven by a WWII vet. For a minute the poor guy thought he was back in the war. It left a huge crater. I know it wasn't funny but the write-up in the paper was hilarious.
You are welcome AD....I was surprised at the info. that I was finding as I was searching tonight. Be prepared, stay safe and have a plan. I think that being informed is the best defense. Even though the MSM is obsessed with the Aruba info. (thanks freeperfromnj)....at least here at TM the raw info. that everyone finds seems to show patterns and allows those who choose to stay informed to be involved.
Undestandable feelings, and worth heeding. Stay safe.
Thanks for the ping all4one.
have you seen "breaking news".

The FBI is pretty nervous 'bout fuel trucks. Propane trucks?
Heads up y'all.
I never even heard about that Cape Cod incident. I have friends who are in the National Guard...and this type of "accident" like you described...seems to happen more than we would guess.
Welcome back!
Actually I think the National Guard was involved in that incident. I'd like to say it happened about 5 years ago but you know how time flies. Probably it happened about 8-10 years ago. Ask your buddies in the Guard.
Yep...and don't forget the missing tanker truck in NJ and other areas over the last few years. Missing/stolen uniforms, explosives, municipal vehicles, propane tanks, emergency vehicles, identities, badges, munitions...etc. All having been reported, discussed and researched here at TM.
Okay folks. The GO signal has definitely been given. Now it's up to the LEOs to stop the attacks. Barring that, it's up to us to deal with the aftermath.
This explains the massive security currently in place
Thanks Velveeta...but ummmm could I at least "ease" back into the TM...instead of having such a great deal of activity, such as there has been over the last two days!
Kind of like "easing back" into the Colorado River rapids.
apparently this isn't "breaking news" anymore.
Are you going into the city tomorrow? Stay safe and keep us posted. BTW any news on the fruit vendor?
LOL...but at least there would be a beginning and an end to the rapids. It seems that there are incidents happening all over the world.
Well it is here.
