MI police: Truckers prevented further disaster - Yahoo! News

This article stated there was 13,000 gallons of fuel on board???? at 9000 gallons of reg 87 I am overweight by almost 3000 lbs, my tractor weighs around 83,000+ lbs when it is loaded with 9000 gallons, Just the gasoline alone on this tanker weighed in at around 78000 lbs I think that has to be a mistake, or do they allow you guys to run that heavy up north...

Security cam catches the explosion as it happens, watch the stupid idiots still driving across the bridge even though it's engulfed in fire from both sides, and would later collapse.

Makes you wonder... What would they do if they got into the smoke and realized the bridge wasn't there anymore...

First say OH **** Then do that in their pants. Still that had to be a hot seat ride across that bridge but we are talking about the IDIOTS Detroit the same people that you have to make a Right turn to go left.

once again a 4 wheeler caused a major wreck, but keep going after the truck drivers cuz we dont know how to drive right? So, sick of DOT going after us instead of seeing the bigger picture and being harder on the cars that dont know what they are doing.
