-   -   FedEX Truck exploded! (a dual trailor semi) (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82197)

Oh boy... this is one of those HUGE dual trailor FedEX Trucks--the cab (front of the semi) is not hurt at ALL (It didn't explode because of the gas tanks, so WHAT happened?

Didn't they release a terror alert about trains or transportation being targeted? I wonder if someone put a bomb in a fedex package and hoped to get it ON the FedEX planes.. maybe it exploded early?

Always something, huh?

PS: This exploded on/near St. Louis

NOOOOO!!! What if my imported copy of Metroid Prime was in it! It would have to go through New Jersey for sure to get here... but probably not by truck >_>

Is the truck driver ok?

Good to see you got your priorities straight /)eathKiller. (J/K! :D )

Oh, Lord, that surely sounds like a bomb gone wrong. Hope no one was killed.

Z is right that it wasn't gas tanks exploding, Semi's burn Deisel which is not in the habbit of exploding spontaneously. </font>

Nobody was hurt.. BUT: If it is a bomb, how many OTHER planes, trucks might have a bomb in them.

Its all guessing now, heck, it may not even BE a bomb.. I'm keeping my eyes on the news. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I hadn't heard about this. I agree. I hope noone was injured/killed. I sincerely hope it was some sort of freak accident, and not a terrorist attack. My Mom works for Fed Ex, and my Uncle and cousin drive semi's. Hmmm...think I'm going to go email my Mom and tell her that I love her.

I suppose it could have been an accident.
But then again, FedEx trucks expolding for no reason? Not really.....

Anyway, I hope it isn't a bomb or anything, I hope that somehow it is an accident........

Do you have any links to stories on this? Did a search on CNN and on Yahoo and came up empty. If the cab was undamaged like you say it almost sounds like some sort of presurized container exploded, instead of a bomb. Since it would seem to me that a bomb would have done fire damage to the cab.

I do find it interesting that so many immediately assume a terrorist act before there is any evidence of one.
