Freeway Collapse - 04-29-2007, 08:24 PM


So, is anyone going to head out and take some photos of the collapsed section of the freeway?
I remember the earthquake that took out the section of the freeway and the Bay Bridge. At the time, I worked for a courier company, and I went through a lot of rolls of film that day. I have some photos that you have never seen on the news or in print.
For those of you that have not heard yet, there was a gasoline tanker truck that had an accidnet this morning. When it blew up, the heat from the 200 foot high flames actually melted the freeway above it. The commute to and from work is going to get veeeery interesting around here for a while. This is just on the east side of the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge.

for anyone that hasn't heard, there is a link to CNN's story. It's amazing that no one died.

Well, I will be heading that direction on Wednesday. If I have enough time between errands, I may find my way over to the area and snap a few shots. I'm not sure how close I'll be able to get, or what I'll be able to see at that point. They have already started to clean up the mess.

We're going to the bay area on Friday ... but not to that area. I would like to see other forum members' shots of this.
