I-80/I-580 Freeway Collapse

We saw a collapsed freeway bridge during our travels today. It is going to slow down the commute to Pt Richmond for the next few months.

Last night a tanker truck, that had just filled up with petrol, crashed while negotiating a freeway interchange. The driver took a taxi to hospital to have his second degree burns treated.

ABC7 have a video of the bridge collapsing. CBS5 has a helicopter view of the result. SFGate have a lot of photos. MotherJones has a report on the crash that pulls few punches.

Looks like it will mess up Oakland traffic for some time to come. Were they your comments at Mother Whatsis?

Some people need to learn how to drive...especially if they have flammable cargo. So...from your(?) comment on MoJo I gather you also question the cause of the WTC collapse? Or by explosion did you mean the planes?
