    so as i was driving hold saturday night around 3-4 in the morning from drinking in the east bay ....... yea yeay yeay driving drunk is bad... but this is what i see as im heading back to san francisco..... this is one of the major connectors to the rest of the bay area.... greatly affecting traffic.... they have now redirected traffic from the freeway onto the streets to go around the fallen portion

    wow that must of been awsome...... i arrived after the accident.......but it still seemed like it was out of a movie......the new said there was the same amount of fuel in the tanker as the planes that crashed on 9/11 ......when i saw the flame it was litterally 100 ft tall n like 20-30 ft wide

    heard the public transit lets everyone to ride on free... now i look back and see it's not a bad tradeoff. Wasting a fuel truck's oil but saves more oil as ppl take public transit.
