that people in our area of Lynnwood and Everett are just plain dumb

.

Yesterday a tanker carrying gasoline reared to the side of the freeway and hit a gaurdrail overpass and blew up. The driver of the tanker lucky got out and is ok and luckly nobody died out of this disaster, there were some construction guys working right where it blew but they had stopped and had lunch down below under the bridge. So they are televising it and taking calls from people that are sitting on the freeway waiting to get off. Just some of the comments they made were just out of nowhere. Like the broadcaster would ask "how far is the traffic backed up?" Uh as far as we can see? Dont you have a news helicopter that can be doing that? The traffic was pretty bad. So this lady from Everett calls and says "Im here in Everett and the traffic is just fine" HELLO LADY THE ACCIDENT WAS A EXITS SOUTH!!! THERE ARE ENOUGH EXITS TO GET OFF BEFORE THEN! Geez

. I cant tell you how people are around here, it just makes ya crack up

.

About an hour after they finally got the tanker under control we decided we need to get out and do our errands. We get over by the freeway overpass and the freeway is just PACKED! Dont take that ladies advice. There was a officer not letting anyone on but then decided to let them. Yeah lets get on the freeway anyways

. It didnt get any better either on the way to and thru Mill Creek. People that didnt know what they were doing or going causing more problems. Luckily we know some back roads and just stuck on them. But geez what a mess!

People around here just arent all there up there ya know?

Too much sniffin of the Boeing fuel or chemicals

As for why the tanker hit the guard rail, witnesses told KOMO 4 News the driver may have fallen asleep.

"I saw him fall asleep, and he kept on kind of waking up," says witness Brianna Banchera. "I told my friend 'he's falling asleep' so she started honking her horn to get everyone's attention and try and wake him up."

Seconds later Banchera watched the tanker veer into a jersey barrier on the side of the road and burst into flames. The fireball shot 100 feet into the air.

Note that she honked her horn. Probably made the guy panic, thinking he was too close to another car. So he veered too far over and hit the guard rail, then his truck blew up.

What would you do? Let him sleep? That's a situation where no one wins. Kind of like Final Destination 2.

Maybe thats why the driver of the tanker left the hospital without talking to the police, didnt want to get in trouble.
