1. Dupe.

I want this thread locked.

2. Kind of demanding, aren't you?

I believe the proper procedure is to send an Alert, if you're really getting antsy about it...

Not so sure this is a dupe anyway -- it seems like a different account of the same incident as in another thread. This one seems to leave out the 'just a gas truck' conclusion, however.

this spinning should SHOCK and outrage Americans....


here's the link to earlier reports...and the later spinning out as just an accident....
