sorry for the typo. Topic should read "Tanker fire on freeway melts part of it away!"

**OzMan** · 04-29-2007, 10:22 AM

what the hell was it carrying, coca-cola?

**mikewest** · 04-29-2007, 10:25 AM

I'd imagine it was gasoline. Where did that happen? We lost a bridge on I-95 here in Connecticut a few years ago. Since our state's highways are fucked up to begin with that was a real disaster for traffic.

holly shit!

funny thing about asphault

where was this?

**Voodoo** · 04-29-2007, 10:41 AM

Tanker is a pyro?

**jennym** · 04-29-2007, 10:43 AM

That's trippy.

On a sarcastic side note - You mean a high temperature fuel fire caused metal to melt and compromised the integrity of a structure enough for it to collapse??

Happened in SF Bay Area right across the Bay Bridge on the Oakland side. Here is the link to the article

This is a pretty badass pic. Glad nobody was killed. Poor driver was burned - that hurts pretty bad.

Get out!
Not possible. Explosive devices were secretly strapped to the columns prior to the accident.

I guess you have never seen a freeway being constructed. Not a whole lot of metal involved.

All I can say is that traffic is really going to suck there for a while.

I appreciate them waiting until after Thursday to have this happen.

how cool is that picture of the road though.. looks like pie dough just hanging over the side there.

Doesn't have to be a whole lot of metal. If the metal inside/around/supporting the concrete melts, then the structures integrity is compromised.

That is what I thought was so cool about it as well. It looks pliable.

Pardon me if I am wrong, but weren't you trying to compare a freeway collapsing from heat to the WTC collapsing from heat?

**MissMina** · 04-29-2007, 11:17 AM

That's strange...

No way!!
My husband just said he saw a man in a tinfoil hat putting thermite on that bridge. He left in a black helicopter that left a chemtrail shaped like donuts on a rope. And that truck didn't just burst into flames. It was hit by a missile fired from a mysterious white jet.

Well some people are going to have a problem going to work on Monday

I don't think I can type slow enough for you to get it.

No shit. I mean really think about it....having to go to work monday when that was your normal route. It will be fucked up for a while.

LOL....I think I know what your point was, but I was going to see if you were really going to say it. Guess you are thinking better of it.

**StickyGreen** · 04-29-2007, 11:39 AM

Good thing it happened so early on a Sunday morning...

**Penthouse Tony** · 04-29-2007, 12:30 PM

it's going to take at least a month to fix

**Spunky** · 04-29-2007, 12:32 PM

Damn..that must have been quite a fire.

**mattz** · 04-29-2007, 12:43 PM

Wow, that road looks crazy

**shermo** · 04-29-2007, 12:49 PM

What an odd detour.

**tornell** · 04-29-2007, 12:50 PM

Holy shit

**V_RocKs** · 04-29-2007, 12:57 PM

Even million dollar insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of that.

That company is fucked!

**ADL Josh** · 04-30-2007, 06:40 AM

that's crazy!!
