“Actually I would guess this might be a licensing scandal, a unqualified driver rather than terrorism.”
You could be right on that...I’d still like to wait and see what details emerge on this incident. Seems a bit odd to me.

Im going to take a walk to the lake. Oh, sorry, thats Lake Erie, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, planet Earth, Sol solar system, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe. You just expect us to automatically know what PART of the lake you are going to walk to? Geeze.

That picture reminds me of the earthquake in 1989 when the freeway collapsed on top of the other one crushing all of those cars and killing the people in them. Thank God that didn’t happen today.

In general you should give some credence to people who take a walk ON the lake.

My sons will be Grandparents before the new Bay Bridge gets finished. Their kids are 6 and 8 years old.
I believe that it took between 4 & 6 years to get the freeways abd ramps taken care of after the LP quake. It was a major journey to get to the Oakland Airport or SFO from the EBay or N Bay. The smart airlines started adding flights from Sac and San Jose.
It was so bad, that I told relatives and friends who flew out. If they landed at Oakland or SFO, instead of Sacramento, they had to rent a car or take limos to and from the airport to our house. A couple of these dear ones thought I was a real bastard until they rented cars and spent more time getting from these airports to our home than their cross country flights.

This will cause fubar at all bridges into Gay Frisco from Monday until the ramps are fixed or destroyed and rebuilt.
The last major earthquake had a terrible impact on the Bay area economy due to these delays in repairing the roads, freeways, ramps and bridges.

To: Bushbacker1; calex59
Nope, I havent either and I guess I am paranoid but the first thing I think of when an explosion of this magnitude happens is who caused it and why. Seems a mighty big coincidence to me and the driver hails a cab to the hospital, that is itself seems strange. I suspect a good mohammedan would have been cooked rather than walk away. However, just like the OU bomber, someone else may have pressed the trigger.

Gonna change your handle to Great-Grampa Dave? I’m in Vallejo and commute to Sonoma so this won’t affect me at all. Where are you located?

There must be some mistake. Rosie says that fire doesnt melt steel.I blame Israel.
To: NRA2BFree
That only took em 8-9 years to rebuild(under 3 miles of work), hopefully Caltrans can get on this a little snappier.

Much better; there was no explosion or the driver would have been halfway to Sausalito when they found him.

Well, seeing as how I was watching it (the attack on the WTC) live on tv there was no confusion.

This rebuild should be alot easier than the work needed after the Earthquake - this time it is just replacing a couple sections of overpass, not putting in an entire new freeway.

You people should see the ninnies on the local SF tv stations trying to explain what’s going on and how to get around. When they’re not getting their talking points from the NY Times or the DNC they don’t know what to say.
