Check Out This Truck Exposion In Utah. Damn!

[joncha]

No. I thought of Tassadar.

Did anybody else think John Travolta in Battlefield Earth when they saw the picture of the driver?

Normal people didn't see the movie.

[Riesstiu IV]

I've never seen the movie but I just remember the weird looking alien hippies that conquered earth from numerous previews.

You've earned a ticket of returning to the fold of sane humans.

Welcome back.

Now this is amazing. No two ways about it.
350 truckloads of material have been hauled in to repair.

"By 6 p.m. Thursday, road crews were pouring asphalt, Easton said. UDOT expects the road to be reopened today. The repair work could cost $400,000. UDOT will seek compensation from R&R Trucking's insurance company, he said. R&R officials did not return repeated telephone calls Thursday"

[Japher]

That definitly wouldn't happen in California, where the road crew would first need to spend 6 months sweeping the site with a dust broom for no apparent reason while an overpaid foreman nods in approval.

Update, including " The explosion shoved aside the Union Pacific rail line 50 feet from the highway and blew the sunglasses off bewildered landscapers working on the roadside 10 miles away, officials said."

[Japher]

I knew this girl once who blew my sunglasses off, ooh wee, I tell ya...

[chequita guevara]

I'm surprised this much of the truck remains.

MOAB

I'm surprised at the lack of fatalitites as well.
No one even fell in the crater, like Japher would have done.

[Japher]

I didn't fall! I was abducted by aliens and then instantly put back into the hole!

those bastards made me look like an idiot

[Tattila the Hun]

Damn, and nobody took pictures of the explosion!

for spreading of cam-phones.

[Gatekeeper]

Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW.

Heh. I bet there isn't much "rest and relaxation" going on at R&R Company right now.
