Thanks for the ping on this Cindy.

There was a fuel tanker wreck on the 710 out of Long Beach a few days ago. Although, if they want to hijack these trucks it would be easy. I mean it's not as though they don't have to stop anywhere. You see them all the time unloading fuel at your corner gas station. I don't believe the part about ramming them with another truck. That isn't aq MO. They want a lot more bang for their buck than that.

I still DO believe malls and transit systems are vulnerable.

Fox reports this info comes from a single source of questionable reliability.

Why always NY, LA, Chicago etc. Are they just throwing that out there and planning against other cities?
