At 10:30 AM Central, A tanker explosion on Interstate 65 in downtown Birmingham has shut down travel in many areas. It appears the junction connecting 3 major interstates has been damaged. Interstate 20/59's overpass over I-65 (from BHM To Nash) has collapsed. It could be days before I-65 opens in this area. Department of Transportation now says it could be MONTHS before this can be repaired. The driver of the tanker was killed and has been the only death. All travellers planning on using Birmingham, Ala. as an interchange to other destinations should check. This is creating tremendous problems to those traveling the I-65 corridor.

If they were around, we'll never know. Why can't the stupid Americans get in their heads that absolutely nothing is terror related, only 9-11, that one they couldn't deny too many witnesses.
Around the holidays, we had a three train crash in Michigan, they claimed a computer failure. All three trains collided at an intersection. Some computer failure.
I'd like to see a list of all these non-terrorists "accidents" to compare with pre 9-11 accidents.

What makes you so sure that the muslims are not participating in a pys-ops program.
Sorry, too many "incidents" not to connect the dots to terrorist activities. After listening to the muslim fanatics that want to kill the infidels and make the world muslim, what other conclusion are we to arrive at? Just random acts, I think not.
We didn't start this holy war, but we will finish it!

I don't know anything about that. For all we know, the son could be the product of a broken home, and his last name could be Smith or Johnson, his brothers and sisters last name could be Brown, and his mom's last name is Tubbs... This is Amerika, dang it... ;0)

My engine has a funny valve noise that I'm pretty sure was caused by Muslims. Dang... who would've guessed? I guess those Muslims must've been infiltrating us for decades. My '67 Plymouth Barracuda had one heck of a valve tap. ;-)

Yikes! Sir SuziQ and I have a very good friend living in Birmingham (but his Mama's name wasn't Tubbs and she died a few years ago anyway, so we know he wasn't involved). We'll have to e-mail him to see what's up!

I live in Birmingham and, according to news reports, this is an accident. Obviously, with our heightened senses, you have to be suspicious with something like this...but as of right now, this is classified as an accident. News reports are also saying that it will be a matter of months before the bridge can reopen because it will have to be rebuilt completely and not just repaired. The pictures of the bridge look like something out of a California earthquake! That's all I have for now...as soon as something new comes through I'll post....

Yeah, this is AmeriCa! Everything that's EVER gone wrong has been the fault of the Moozlims! Why, I'll bet even money that the Civil War was 'cuz of them ragheads!!! It ain't never been no Demoncrats what screwed up the country! It HAS TO BE the Moozlims! We gotta get them ALL outta OUR country!!!! Before they REALLY screw things up!!!
/sarcasm :->

Thanks for the updates.
I realized earlier tonight one of the 'things' that determined terrrorists could do with a tanker - a tanker they wouldn't even have to know how to drive, but, through some artful choices in vehicle manuevering (as in 'cut in front of') *could* wreak havoc in our downtown areas by 'clogging' up our vital interstate/Defense Highway Network ...

Any of them happy about it? Dancing, singing, catarwaling?
To: mathurine
They will wait and caterwaul from the minarets at 4:30 AM and claim that prayer is better than sleep.
Can't hear them, you say? Nearest mosque too far away? Thank a Christian.

The muslims made me point this out.... I didn't want to do it, but they stole my lunchbox and threatened to wash it if I didn't cooperate...
