I'm glad no one was killed.I also hope that traffic isn't an issue for you in the near future,that sounds like it's gonna be a mess for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk MMS 0 Posted April 29, 2007 It made for an interesting morning work wise. We have 2 petroleum pipelines in the area. Phone would not stop ringing. I drive (used to) this freeway on average twice a week to do facility inspections. Guess I will be taking alternate routes for the immediate future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk MMS 0 Posted April 29, 2007 My Dad and I work for the same company and we were talking today about that very thing. If they never thought of it before it is all over the news now. I used to be a technician for BP Arco and we ran a marine terminal where we unloaded ships of gasoline, jet and diesel. They would bring in loads of 120000+ bbls (bbls=42 gallons of gasoline). That always seemed like a floating bomb to me. Scary. And then you think to yourself "did i just give someone an idea?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Spectre_USA 7 Posted April 30, 2007 If it was a terrorist initiated event, they could not have picked a better, (worse) spot to do it in. I used to travel that route every couple of months while stationed up at the now non-existent, McClellan AFB. Serious interchange there, I'd hate to have to find an alternate route through there for quite some time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
