I take BART everyday from SF to Oakland Coliseum station. The train today was a little less crowded than usual. There was a small delay at one of the SF stations, but ironically this was due to there being extra BART trains in service.

There was a local CBS reporter at the Oakland station looking for people whose commute was impacted. She couldn't find anyone.

I don't think it's going to be as bad as everyone's predicting.

This never happened. Either the pictures are fake, or the bridge was brought down by explosives planted by conspirators linked to the Bush White House. I have it on no less an authority than Rosie O’Donuts that fire has never melted steel, and that even a whole plane load of jet fuel couldn't bring down a building — so how could just a truck load of ethanol bring down a bridge?

That won’t stop Mark Cuban from funding a movie proclaiming that the government blew up the bridge, once the Mavs lose Game 5.

Exactly!

Is Charlie Sheen still going to narrate that numb movie? Will this make Rosie O’ stfu?

Curious minds want to know....

Is Cuban really as childish as he is portrayed by some in the media? IMO, if the Warriors had an owner with his passion it wouldn’t have taken them 13 years to get back to the playoffs.

Hah.
According to Al Gore it is all going to be under water with Global Warming.
If he truly believes his nonsense of science why the heck did he buy a condo in San Fran?

We watched that doc he made the other night and having attended many Marine Science seminars we were LOL at his misconstrued attempt at science.

Then the segment of his losing the election was like most of the doc out of context to the subject matter or shall I say pseudo subject matter.

The cartoon he showed of the little girl replying to the ice cube in a drink theory “oh like daddy puts ice in his drink in the morning and the gets mean.”

The whole thing was bizarre.
He kept talking about all his friends who have taught him about (pseudo) Global Warming.
I think he is confused about who we call friends. Unless he considers consultants, acquaintances ect all his personal friends.
Pure bologna. Thank goodness he did lose the election.

“What’s the driver’s NAME?”

The driver, James Mosqueda, 51, of Woodland, was headed from a refinery in Benicia to a gas station near the Oakland Airport when the accident occurred, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A preliminary investigation indicated he may have been speeding on the curving road, Cross said. Mosqueda was being treated in a hospital for burns Sunday; the hospital would not transfer media calls to his room.

....

this was not difficult info to find ... do you like everything spoon fed? :-)

Wow that seems impossible with govt contracted road work.

It would probably take that long for Cali gov to just get bids.

Thanks for that “real” live report.

We have been going through some trials and worked with staff at the Medical Center along with the public offering assistance when folks noticed us having a hard time on our stops getting back home.

I really was awe inspired by all the wonderful humans in the world.

Being homebound and watching the news I was under the impression that the most of humanity was evil perpertrators.
My ditzy-ness amazes myself at times.

CALTRANS recently replaced 12 bridges in a 20-mile span of I-40 between Barstow and Needles, in two-stage project (6 bridges at a time.)

The first stage took just over 100 days. The second stage is about to be re-opened, after approximately 90 days...

They can do fast work for emergencies. The controlling factor will be CALTRANS’s ability to get steel mills to produce 16 or more 80-foot girders in short notice. The reason to use steel, rather than the more quickly produced concrete has to do with seismic concerns.

Many FReepers have the same problem, like the ones wishing California would fall into the ocean or the ones that think this collapse is "karma" when it doesn't affect San Francisco's Leftist political hierarchy at all but causes a nightmare for the large number of Republicans who commute to the city from the East Bay. ;)
