Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency following the collapse of one of the San Francisco Bay area's most traveled sections of freeway, as workers began clearing debris from a fiery accident that destroyed an important commuter link.


A freeway interchange that funnels traffic off the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge collapsed onto another highway ramp in Oakland, Calif., Sunday, April 29, 2007, after a gasoline tanker truck overturned and caught fire.

According to the 9/11 conspiracies a fire cannot melt steel. Therefore this had to be planned and explosives were planted in the girders of the freeway so it would look like they melted. Will these coverups ever end?

This was done just to undermine Rosie's argument about WTC7, since we all know that fire doesn't melt steel. Isn't it convenient that this happened not long after she blew the story wide open on The Vagina Dialogues The View?

Let’s hope they don’t hire the incompetent bunch of contractors and subs that they’ve used on the Oxnard Blvd/Highway 101 interchange in Ventura/Oxnard.

Over 4 years and counting. Never anyone on the road working.

I hate Cal-Trans!!! Bunch of friggin’ teat-sucking bureaucrats.

Q. What’s orange and sleeps six?
A. A Caltrans truck.

Glad I don’t live in the Bay Area anymore.

Well there you go.

Think about, Bush-Cheney-Halliburton-Big Oil-Gas truck.

Obviously staged to punish those in San Fran for supporting Pelosi, much like they sent the hurricane to New Orleans.

Glad you posted this since I was out of touch with the world in general over the last few days. Just found out about it.

This will get fixed quickly. People Who Matter use this road, unlike those Republican troglodytes in Ventura. ;)

Many years ago a driver lost control around Auburn Ca. He plowed into a Caltrans truck. No one was injured (I think) but two workers were missing and showed up a couple of hours later. They said they were confused from the accident. How about they were sleeping and no one knew where they were?

They need to call Rosie O’Donnell to investigate this. After all, according to “her”, in the entire history of the planet, fire has never been able to melt steel. This must be another Bush/Cheney plot!

Let’s see how long it takes to repair this, compared with when a barge took out a couple of sections of the Causeway in Louisiana a few years ago.

AS I read these post, I chuckle a bit.

Living in Alaska we have traffic problems, but working from home tends to reduce the problems to a minimum....

SoCal has a lot to offer, and sometimes too much to offer.
