Amazing how the steel got so hot it warped. Looks like a junkyard now.

Oughtta send this pic to Rosie O'Donnel. She doesn't seem to think that steel can be bent or melted by fire.

Nice pics. Amazing the damage that was done.

Don't you mean "She doesn't seem to think"


Anyway, cool pics thanks for posting an update too very interesting to see the aftermath.

Let's leave the politics out of it, folks. She's a polarizing figure and it could get off topic and ugly fast.


These shots are very apocalyptic ... intense. Love the first one with the Dallas skyline behind.

Cool.

Interesting how it isn't charred because the acetylene didn't leave behind soot. I'll bet it was mostly shiny metal about 5 days ago before the rust from the rains.
