And in the very week that some nutzo blogger tried to frame this entire forum as racist. Way to go.

On the other hand, Islam is not a race.

Situation looks pretty bad - I hope that everyone survived.

....Radio station WWJ-AM says an overpass at the crash site collapsed after the tanker and a tractor-trailer collided about 8:30 p.m.

The station says several other vehicles were involved in the crash 10 miles north of downtown Detroit.

Witnesses say flames and black, billowing plumes of smoke are reaching 150 to 200 feet into the air and gas that has reached the sewers along the freeway also has caught fire.

Police are ordering onlookers gathered along the top of the embankments along the crash site to move back to avoid exposure to toxic smoke.

Dorothy Mirasolo lives in Hazel Park, less than a half mile northwest of the explosion.

“I heard an explosion. I was like ‘What the heck is that?’ At first I thought it was a car hitting a car. Then it sounded like shotguns going off and it was very close.”

She said explosions kept happening over the course of five minutes.

She along with hundreds of others went on the pedestrian bridge, about 1/4 mile north of the accident site to get a birds-eye view of the happenings.

It was there that she noticed the bridge had collapsed.

“To me, when I first got there, it looked like it was OK. All of a sudden I noticed it was down. There was so much smoke you couldn’t see it very well.”

Now that, gentlemen, is a classy comeback.
