Sorry dude, I guess I was writing mine as yours was posted. I don't care about which stays, that doesn't matter to me.

Edit: It's not on any of the news websites yet. It's on the local news here (Baltimore) and it's just a massive explosion. The entire highway is shut down but the fire appears to be out now. It's all covered with foam. Just a gigantic blast/burned radius covering the entire highway.

I give FOX News 5 minutes to start speculating whether this was an act of "terrorism" or not.

The big deal is they're going start making a huge fuss about it possibly being terrorism. Trust me this will be all over the news tonight.

You are too generous.
