Baton Rouge tanker carrying butane explodes

[FlabLoser]

...on purpose

18-wheelers in a wreck. One carrying butane leaks. So they set it on fire to contain & "remove" the leak.

Found some pictures from the explosion. Also, on the same site these came from, there is supposedly video, but I couldn't get the vid to work. Maybe you can, push here -->http://www.wafb.com/story/19348010/all-lanes-of-i-10-reopen-after-tanker-crash

Traffic here was a nightmare, but fortunately this happened during hurricane season so everyone was well stocked with emergency rations.

Wow. Glad my trip down there is next week and not this week. Looks like that's near my hotel.

I don't remember a trip to BR in the last 10 years that traffic wasn't a nightmare, I just expect it. That interstate construction has got to be the longest on record anywhere.
