This is widely being reported on the national news, but it happened a half mile from my house. A gasoline tanker crashed and exploded, melting a large section of a freeway overpass and demolishing two of the most heavily congested commuter routes in the San Francisco Bay Area.
To summarize: A tanker carrying gasoline exploded, causing months of headache and worry for people driving cars that depend on gas.
I think there’s only one question on anyone’s mind at this point:
Now can we get some goddamn flying cars??
Strange that I read this at the moment it was leading the national news report. And thanks for the smile.
I know, I’m always wondering where is this brave, new world The Jetsons promised?
that picture looks like Dali took a crack at construction
You want a truck carrying 8000 gallons of gasoline flying over your house? Really strange idea!
PS Won’t we still need tankers to carry the fuel for the flying cars?
PPS. I recommend alternative routes to work unless you already have a flying car.
As if traffic is not bad enough. SUCKS!
My commute is actually not affected, except by bleed off from all the other cars finding alternate routes. Getting out of the city won’t be much fun, though.
I’d even be willing to tolerate hat-hair if that meant I could have a go-go Gadget Copter.
Wha..? It looks like the bridge melted. I think the message is clear, here. You people need to stay on your own side of the Bay.
Dali: I call this picture “The Persistence of Gasoline.”
George Jetson: We stopped using that crap a long time ago. That stuff’s dangerous! Don’t you know it’s flammable?
Jane, His wife: Honey, don’t forget to plug the flying car into the nuclear reactor before you go to bed!
I had heard about this in the radio but it’s a totally different thing to behold.
The Dalì connection kind of makes me gasp, and “The Persistence of Gasoline” is the perfect title for that photo.
Can some of us have flying Vespas instead? Because I’ve always really wanted a Vespa.
