Michael Bay Wet Dream Becomes Reality

There was a major accident on I-75 in Detroit last night (I know, that's how I felt too. Detroit?!?! That quiet, peaceful, well-maintained slice of the American dream?!?!). Though I couldn't reach Michael Bay for comment, I have to imagine he would have said "Kaaabooooomm!", then laughed hysterically and shoved his hand down his velcro-fastened pants.

HAZEL PARK, Mich. — Flames shot hundreds of feet in the air after a gasoline tanker exploded Wednesday night underneath a highway overpass near Detroit. Part of the overpass collapsed onto the interstate below and spilled fuel burned as fire crews doused the road with water. The drivers of the tanker, a semitrailer and a car were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, said Michigan State Police Lt. Shannon Sims. The three men were being interviewed as part of the investigation into how the accident happened...A wrecked, burned tractor-trailer could be seen near the destroyed tanker, which was carrying an estimated 13,000 gallons of fuel. Flames and black, billowing plumes of smoke reached 150 to 200 feet into the air before the fire was extinguished after nearly three hours. [Source: comcast.net]

The good news about this is, no one was hurt and crews should have everything cleared up later today. Also, sources on the scene say that watching the aftermath of this accident was at least three times more entertaining than having to sit through Transformers 2.
