| DISASTER in Everett, Massachusetts--forty cars in flames, homes burned to the ground |
|
This is just terrible. Apparently a gasoline tanker truck, going like a bat out of hell, failed to navigate that Sweetser Circle in Everett, and flipped, gas went everywhere, forty cars went up in flames and a few homes burnt to the ground in record time.
Can you imagine waking up to find your house on fire, and the house next door, and you're in a triple decker, and it's QUICK--GET OUT!
There are no links yet...just initial reports.
Merry friken Christmeas...
You have to wonder what a few jerks with INTENT could do with a few tanker trucks...!

The most miraculous thing is that none of those people were hurt," he said. "No one got hurt, not a scratch. The truckdriver hurt his thumb, I understand."

| 2. They were apparently lucky. On the other side of the Circle, there are LNG tankers. |

They have been showing this all morning on TV. Incredible that there is no casualties. Video here. http://www1.whdh.com/ |
