    So, were any F-18s flying over yesterday? Canada has started the pre-invasion bombardment.

    Well since we're on a roll here with the burning thing... We only need one more for a trifecta.

    It would very surprising to see no deaths or injuries. But I ask one thing... If the truck blew up straight away, would the driver have enough time to run away?

    @LandofMinos, I took the O out of Cuntry: Maybe the explosion pushed him forward and clear? I've not watched the video since it's very slow for some reason, but yeah, it would be amazing to have no fatalities and injuries.

    We went through Dee-troit a couple of years back, in the diesel pusher 40' motorhome, and not only are those bridges low...when your head is 8' off the ground, clearance signs take on new meaning...but they were also rotted to a disturbing degree.



    I mean, they were like an early-70's GM product after several rust-belt winters. Layers of rust, ready to fall off.



    It freaked me out...as did I-75 being in such bad shape, 40 MPH was to fast to have a fighting chance at missing the smaller potholes.



    I remember seeing holes with re-bar in them.

    I could see the smoke at 19 mile and dequindre. Love how the news talked about how terrible it is that someone might be dead... for about 30 seconds. Then started talking about how terrible the traffic might be. You stay classy news anchors.

    @egoods:



    I love how they mentioned "Traffic MIGHT be closed tomorrow morning".



    OH really!? Do we get to drive over the wreckage if it isn't?

    @ScoobyDoo82: No, they're actually hoping that if they sprinkle pixie dust all over the road everything will fix itself. Apparently it didn't because traffic was screwed this morning.

    @ugadawg: Actually the traffic is from unemployed people driving past to see what happened.

    I can pretty much guarantee you that diesel would not explode or burn like that (not outside Hollywood, anyhow).
