The Cellar - View Single Post - 6/26/2006: 20 tons of scrap metal on the highway

Well there ya go - the highway's gonna be closed a while, folks. We can't pick this stuff up by hand, or even with a backhoe. It's not as bad as when the baking soda truck collided with the vinegar tanker, or when the 30,000 pounds of bananas went down that road into Scranton.

Might want to avoid the area for a few weeks if if you drive on rubber tires. Wait until everyone else's tires have picked up the junk here.

I lost the info on this one, but I *think* it happened in the Kitsap area of WA state. There is a news item about a scrap metal truck accident in the area, and maybe this is it. But I wouldn't want to go around spreading rumors. That could be more disastrous than spreading scrap metal.
