A terror threat targets Connecticut's busiest stretch of highway, the Interstate-95 corridor in Bridgeport. State police began stepping up security in the area Thursday.

the fact that the truck ripped open and caught fire -- it didn't explode; kerosene doesn't explode unless in a vapor -- and did so on an overpass causing the highway to be closed (which wouldn't have been the case anywhere else on 95) the very next day does raise eyebrows, yeppers. now the question is: if this is some terrorist event, what is the other shoe that will drop?

Umm, I assure you there are zillions of places on 95 where you can close 95 for a couple of weeks with a tanker fire.

The dumbest thing I've heard regarding this incident was some moron on a thread this morning pointing to the fact nobody was killed as "suspicious" evidence it may have been terror-related. Which is beyond hilarious if you think about it.

What amazes me is there aren't more tanker/hazmat accidents on interstates, not how many there are.
