Article Summary:

Article Content:

Yesterday, a tanker truck traveling I-75 carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel crashed and exploded at an underpass just north of Detroit. Flames were seen launching miles into the air, video and pictures captured by many “onlookers” (who were actually miles away) show the insanity of all that gas and smoke flying into the air.

(Sorry about the Fox News Clip, it was the best we could find)

Miraculously only minor injuries were reported, including the tanker driver. The mile-9 marker at Hazel Park, MI, is closed for an indeterminate amount of time. The bridge, which was instantly engulfed by these flames, collapsed.

A few cars were caught in the wreck, but still everyone involved somehow escaped. Maybe God figured the residents in and around Detroit have suffered enough. One State Police Lt. was quoted as saying “We don’t know exactly what caused the explosion, but it did explode…” – really?
