OAKLAND, Calif. - A stretch of highway near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge collapsed Sunday after a gasoline tanker crashed and burst into flames, leaving one of the nation's busiest spans in a state of near paralysis. Officials said traffic could be disrupted for months. ADVERTISEMENT
Flames shot 200 feet in the air and the heat was intense enough to melt part of the freeway and cause the collapse, but the truck's driver walked away from the scene with second-degree burns. No other injuries were reported.

Hmmm... I guess that should put a stop to conspiracy theories about 9/11 and all the nonsense that fire doesn't melt steel and concrete.

Rosie is deeply disappointed.
It was a remote demolition of the freeway by Rovian-Control.

"I guess that should put a stop to conspiracy theories about 9/11 and all the nonsense that fire doesn't melt steel and concrete."Absolutely not. This simply proves that Bush caused the freeway collapse, too.

The driver wasn’t named Achmed or Mohammed, was he?

Maybe, the driver was Rosie conducting steel melting experiments?

Global warming is starting to weaken the steel in our highways!

“The driver wasn’t named Achmed or Mohammed, was he?”
The taxi driver that took him to the hospital was interviewed.
Said along the lines of ... his hands, face, arms and shirt were burned and he was crying - he took him without charge to Kaiser Hosp. A mile or so from the scene.
The driver had a Hispanic sounding name.

But Rosy says heat can’t melt steel so it must be the CIA.

Exactly, I was thinking this same thing. I hope Rosie sees this/ shoots holes in her theories.

No, this was part of a Rovian conspiracy to discredit the people trying to tell the American people the truth about 9/11.
To: farlander
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said the accident showed how fragile the Bay area's transportation network isDuh. You and all your environmentalists keeping California green otta tell ya all something.
To: farlander
I can hear it now...
Rosie: “This was a planned and premeditated attack. Steel cannot melt this easily.”
