Add to list: collapsing freeways
April 30th, 2007
A gas tanker explodes into a massive fireball and a freeway overpass collapses on top of it.
Just another day in the hazard-filled Bay Area.
As if it weren’t surreal enough, two aspects of this story are particularly strange:
1) The driver of the tanker walked away from his truck and found a taxi at 4 o’clock in the morning to take him to the hospital.
2) An eyewitness saw cars driving through fire: “There were bright, bright orange flames and they were huge,” Jennifer Summers, a costume designer, said. “There were cars driving through the flames. The first cars slowed down like they didn’t know what to do and then kept going. I was shocked.”
So am I.
