Wait a minute. The 9/11 "Truther" nuts say that fuel can't burn hot enough to collapse concrete and steel." No, they refer to the flame temp of kerosene, which is 900 degrees cooler than that of gasoline. Big difference.

A gasoline fire definitely can melt steel, and can spall concrete.

I meant upper clearance height not side to side. I have NEVER seen a tanker hit an overpass height wise. Unless of course, the bridge is below the limit and the driver should have known better.
