10/27/2004: Fuel tanker crash melts bridge

[404Error]

Bad year for melted bridges. Same thing happened in CT back in March, causing quite the traffic nightmare for weeks afterwards.

"At the height of the heat, the actual bridge almost touched the ground, it went down so far, and then as the firefighters poured water and foam on the fire, it contracted, and it left that buckling effect," Rowland told reporters Friday morning.

IIRC the woman that caused the accident was ticketed for an improper lane change.
