Rokenn, that's the paranoia engendered by terrorism at work. It's natural, and it's what "they" want.

It's more fun that way!

Wasn't a Lada was it?

Glad I am not driving trucks anymore!!
Stopped in January.

Letting my friends (truckdrivers) know to be extra careful!

Shit, I'm having a handheld computer shipped to me through FedEx as we speak. Knowing my luck, the CPU probably exploded while in the truck and they'll knock on my door any second and sue me. If I'm not back on Ironworks within three days, send a large wad of cash after me.

"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?"

Looks like it was just an accident.
" The truck was cut off by another vehicle and went off the road, rupturing the fuel tank and sparking the explosion, said Sgt. Ed Ensminger of the Missouri Highway Patrol. Another official said the fuel tank ruptured when the truck's trailer struck the post of an overhead sign.
Cpl. John Parrish of the Missouri Highway Patrol said foul play does not appear to be a factor.

"We're certain this was -- although it may not seem so -- your typical traffic crash," he said."

heh heh, panic stations off then eh?

It's a good thing no one went into a panic over this!

Looks like instead of looking for communists under very bed we are now seeing terrorists [img]tongue.gif[/img]
