Sorry for the mispelling Quilla. Didn't catch it quite quick enough.

[mlbford2]

Wow, you're going to heaven for sure. I got a lot of catch'n up to do.

"I just saw a picture of the truck, dear G-d in heaven. If they even find a piece of the guy driving the truck it will be a miracle."

What are you looking at? The video I am watching shows the tracter without any marks on it. The driver should be okay unless he had a bad ticker. It is the two trailers that are in pieces.

[BuddhaBoy]

They should check to see if there were any packages on the manifest from Terry McAullife to Jean Carnahan......

[Mo1]

LOL .. sorry about that

The only damage is to the two trailors .. the cab of the truck is in tact .. not sure about the driver

But everything that was in that truck is laying all over the road and they are putting out a fire

Fox is saying it just blew up with no reason why

[Pravious]

I wish those of you whose first reactions are to make dumb jokes would turn on the TV and take a look at this thing. There's nothing funny about this.

Fedex does not carry explosives or hazardous items, except when criminals lie to them. This will be traced back to the source. Unlike the Postal Service, Fedex knows who shipped everything.

FedEx truck explodes on I-270 in North St. Louis County

If this is an Islamic hit, it's VERY bad news.
It means Al Quida (or similar pukes) realize the way to really hurt an open society
like ours is to paralyze even the most mundane avenue of commerce.

And just as the holiday seasons get rolling.
Now I'm even wondering if I should think twice about booking my vacation flight from
Los Angeles to St. Louis...

Bellfontaine Rd. exit is VERY close to the bridge crossing the Mississippi River.

If it IS a bomb, maybe the timing was just a bit off, and it was intended to explode on the bridge?

The competition between UPS and FedEx has really gotten out-of-hand.

[Gunslingr3]

You want to shut down business in the US? Mail 5000 (small) bombs to different zip codes by US "overnight" envelopes .... Those go by airplanes, under contracts with the regular airlines. Set each to detonate sometime after midnight and wipe out a few hundred aircraft. Then (same night) send 10,000 (larger) bombs - set to detonate on different nights - by UPS and FedEx and Flying Tiger and USPS so THEY take out those aircraft. The next day? Chaos. (Where it counts - on the pocketbook.)

Doesn't it go without saying that 15,000 well placed bombs would shut down the country. Wouldn't it shut down any country. Are you a cable news 'expert', or just aspiring?

[MsLady]

Gads, you really need to go back and re-read what I said and then re-read the post of the person I was responding to.

[WIladyconservative]

Fox reporting both inhabitants of cab are OKAY!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

2 people in cab are FINE - Fox News.

Amazing!

[Squantos]

Well now............ anybody not get their 8 pounds of 231 ?. Gotta be a heat shock friction thang is my guess. Terrorism ? Nawwwwww !................Tick !

Stay Safe and CYA Folks....

[Diddle E. Squat]

Wow, you were sure quick to spam your propaganda to this thread. I think we can be pretty sure that this is a FEDEX truck, not a Mexican truck.

But don't let logic get in the way of your hysteria.

[Mo1]

Fox is reporting that 2 people were in the Cab of the truck and that they are ok

[OXENinFLA]

So it looks like the explosion did come from the inside of the 1st trailer. HUH? Something Fishy here

[phasma proeliator]

Saw your ping on the other thread of the same topic - thanks!.

Today is also a Tuesday. bin Laden likes Tuesdays and Thursdays (9/11, USS Cole, Embassy bombings, etc.).
