Absolutely crazy.

 

They had to bring the foam trucks up from Hartsfield to put out the fire.

 

This is some Armageddon type shit.

 

I don't understand. how could burning plastic melt steel? I've been assured that nothing ever collapses from a fire.

 

This literally never happens, guys. Must have been an inside job. Big Convenience Store, trying to increase business by making people sit in traffic longer.

 

Talked to my brother in ATL. He's ok, but here's what he said, "That is literally yards from my office."

 

If only we had a conspiracy theorist/bridge guy on the board to "educate" us on the REAL truth....

 

Too bad they couldn't extinguish it with jet fuel in time

 

Hah.

 

I would explain but I can't tell the structural difference between a bridge or a 100+ story skyscraper. So, I better stay out of this one.

 

I've been on that bridge numerous times in the past few weeks. Thank goodness I was working in north Atlanta today.

 

Who the F*** stores flammable material like that under an Interstate Highway?!?

 

It's Atlanta. The collapse was inevitable.

 

Russian bots. Duh.

 

I bet it was the Russians.

 

It is sad how the lines of fiction and reality are so blurred.

 

Ah. Would you say an empty interstate overpass has more load than a 110 story building, or less? And how does a fire compare to a fire from a subsequent impact of a 767?

I'm thinking the buildings were a bit more vulnerable.

 

Were they storing Thermite under the bridge?

 

Also sad the fear that is allowed to spread all because one side lost to decide who was the least shitty candidate.
