Tanker fire destroys part of MacArthur Maze
2 freeways closed near Bay Bridge

OAKLAND -- A huge ball of fire from an exploding gasoline tanker truck caused an overpass in the MacArthur Maze in the East Bay near the Bay Bridge to collapse on top of the highway below early Sunday, virtually ensuring major traffic problems and confusion for weeks to come.

...

Engineers said the concrete roadway's steel underbelly seems to have heated to a sufficient temperature to bend the metal, which then pulled the roadbed off its supports.

Well, duh. It was the pre-planted therm(a|i)te charges that really brought it down. Just connect the dots. The evil gubmint (TM) could easily have planted them over the last few months, and several eyewitnesses did not see the tanker explode -- they just heard it and/or saw the fireball. Also, the bridge collapsed in much the same way as a controlled demolition. Plus, a few firefighters, and an off-duty police officer heard explosions just as the bridge was collapsing, and if anybody would know what therm(a|i)te sounds like when it explodes, they certainly would. There's just one more thing -- sometime in the next few months, Bush will use this as an excuse to invade Guatemala -- mark my words.

Did I miss anything?

The WTC was smoking for months after 9-11. I see no smoke in that picture, also, I see no shadow's in that pic. This was obviously shot in a studio and they used too much fill light and took out the parallel shadows.

Sweet jesus, they almost fooled us all. Isn't it conveeeeenient that a large container of fuel just HAPPENS to crash under a STEEL bridge, and the bridge fails from the heat. They want us to believe this is all a coincidence. Come on. They set it up so they can point to it, "See? Fire makes metal bend. The airplanes MUST have brought down the WTC. The perfect "example" to throw us off the scent. Clearly this is all a set up. SOmeone would wonder whu wouldn't they do it someplace that won't tie up traffic so bad, but they had to, so it seemed real. They want us to think it couldn't be a fake with all that traffic and all. Bastids.

I guess they're going the other way. The fire and circumstances were real, but they don't equate to the WTC.

StopTheLie.com wrote:Freeway Collapse

I can already hear defenders of the official account screaming "See, fire can cause a steel structure to collapse-the bridge collapsed!"

Comparing the circumstances surrounding the fire and subsequent partial collapse of this bridge to the circumstances surrounding the fires and subsequent complete collapse of the towers and WTC 7 is flawed from end to end. This fact should be obvious to most people; but let's point out a few things just in case they weren't already noticed.

Sweet jesus. They have an example of how steel encased in concrete wilts like a wet noodle, and they still won't give it up.

Last year a NIST investigator came to my school and gave a lecture to a room full of physics and engineering students/professors about their investigation of the WTC collapse. You'd think that if there was something fishy with the "official account" that the people who study this stuff for a living would have noticed by now...

They're all in on it, as is, apparently, you now.

Didn't you know that?

Hey Boss, what did I forget this time? I wired the whole thing myself and high jacked the truck and spirited the driver away to our super secret HQ, then went back and set off the charges at the same time I spread truck part all around the place to fool them. Did I miss something??

Uh oh, they're onto you!

(Seriously funny shit there.)

What the sheeple don't know is that the scheming monsters who did this, using Haliburton's earthquake/Tsunami machine, also assassinated JFK and RFK, shot down TWA 800, faked the moon landings, murdered Jack Ruby and Oswald, smuggled cocaine into LA, assassinated Malcom X, created AIDS and Ebola to kill people of color, and are responsible for the contamination of our precious bodily fluids.

Hey, those truooofers are getting pretty close. It looks like they picked up on me pretty quick. I'm going to have to lay low for awhile. Any suggestions where I can go?? :ut-help:

I hear that the New York Giants are looking to build a new stadium in the next several years.

But if you can't wait that long, how about Legoland instead of Disneyland?

Or there's the place where 'they' keep Elvis, Hitler, and Bigfoot.

Edit: 4/29truth.com is absolutely hilarious. I found a link to a 4/29 CafePress site.
