Thnaks for the heads up. I just tuned them in. [Commercials] ... :)
Actually... It sounds like a tunnel... With people trapped inside.
Some tatood freak on Fox.
Young lady however is ... BEAUTIFUL.
Truck? What truck?...
(apologies in advance ... still looking for coverage)
I think that 146 is a code for people trapped, not a number.
there’s nothing on local TV and KFI has some show on!?!
Still exploding....good grief.
Thanks, that’s our way out of this area and into L.A. The pass was damaged during the 1992 quake and was rebuilt, took about a year for it to be done.
11:30PM WANTS TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS COMING TO GET THEM OFF OF THE BRIDGE
11:30PM RP IS FRIGHTENED BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS AND PARTS OF THE BRIDGE ARE FALLING
Are you sure it’s not a drill/emergency exercise?
I couldn’t find anything reporting this.
BIG BOOM ping
I can’t imagine they’d put this stuff on the dispatch website if it was an exercise.
That’s “Coast to Coast AM”.
Used to be Art Bell’s show. It’s a monster moneymaker for KFI.
I think the chariots of the Apocolypse would have to ride down the 405, for KFI to break into that show.
KNX or KFWB maybe?
Prayers up. RP? What is that? Responsible person - responding person?
Did you read the CHP website?
Definitely not a drill
Thank you!
ok.
If they’re smart, they’ll hire that same private firm that got the SF highway bridges put back up so fast to repair/rebuild it.
Reporting Person, I think.
