Bay Area Freeway Collapse Apr. 29 2007

Not sure if any of you have seen this yet, but it will definitely effect the commute for months to come.

Creepy for myself because I've used that overpass/ramp countless times. Great high speed turn.

Read a couple articles an none mentioned what ignited the fuel. Any1 know?

I think the fire started from the crashing of the truck into the divider at such a high speed.

I'd be interested in hearing people's commute experiences today, and just how bad this will effect things in the Bay Area, and that already crowded area.

Yes it is, but too bad it's going to take months to fix the damage.

Yeah, I rode BART for free. I'm just hoping it doesn't take away from the 3 free days we have in the summer.
