Calif. Interchange Collapses After Fire OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A section of freeway that funnels traffic onto the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge collapsed early Sunday after a gasoline tanker truck overturned and caught fire, authorities said.
The heat from the fire was intense enough to melt part of the freeway and cause the collapse, but the truck's driver walked away from the scene with second-degree burns.
No other injuries were reported, which officials said was only possible because the accident happened so early on a Sunday morning. The truck driver took a taxi to a nearby hospital, Officer Trent Cross of the California Highway Patrol said.
The tanker carrying 8,600 gallons of gasoline ignited around 3:45 a.m. after crashing into a pylon on the interchange, which connects westbound lanes of Interstate 80 to southbound I-880, about half a mile from the Bay Bridge's toll plaza.
The fire melted a second interchange from eastbound I-80 to eastbound I-580 located above the first interchange, causing a 250-yard section of the roadway to collapse onto the roadway below, according to the highway patrol.
Witnesses reported flames from the blaze reached up to 200 feet high.
The Bay Bridge consists of two heavily traveled, double-decked bridges about two miles long straddling San Francisco Bay. State transportation officials said 280,000 commuters take the bridge into San Francisco each day.
Authorities said the accident on a highway interchange could take months to repair, and that it would cause the worst disruption for Bay Area commuters since a 1989 earthquake damaged a section of the Bay Bridge itself.
Everyone knows that gasoline doesn't burn at hot enough temperatures to "melt" a freeway. Just ask anyone who's never studied physics. This "collapse" was obviously a controlled implosion. What are they trying to cover up? I don't have any answers, but we need to ask the questions. Join the California Freeway Truth Movement!

It was the zionists. Duh.
Ah, the wonders of the blogosphere!
Co-thinkers of yours, G. Frohman, have got a magnificant website, 4/29truth.com, up and are digging deep! Check it out--highly recommended!!
429truth.com is a CIA/Mossad covert disinformation operation intended to draw attention away from the invaluable Ikea did 4/29 site, URL ikeadid429.com.
Why are the zionists covering for the Swedes?
And, come to think of it, what kind of a name is G. Frohman anyhow?
Here are the two referenced sites with links to the proper URLs:

Actually gasoline is hot enough to "melt a freeway". Who says it can't?
