Toronto is on fire!

Good reason to stay home from work.

 

CP24 had video of the explosions. Wow, massive fireballs...

Bring the Leafs to take care of the fire... they'll snuff out any spark in no time...

 

Sirs, Madames,

I live at least a 35-dollar (Cdn) cabride from the site of the explosion ... and it woke me up. My windows rattled.

I have to go out to Cambridge to pick up the significant other's father and then drive him to Belleville (yup, the span of the 401) (Picton, actually). I think I have it worked out to go through Brantford on the return trip. Still, gonna take hrs more than planned. Huge traffic jam when I dropped him off on Friday too -- return drive from Cambridge to downtown, 2.5-hours+.

YD&OHS, etc

 

This sounds similar to what happened in Dallas... last year? When a propane distribution plant had some major issues and forced a shutdown of several freeways downtown.

In that case, the propane tanks were igniting and going airborne. Some ended up flying over a major freeway and landing in the parking lot of Reunion Arena.

 

Wow, this is crazy. Good video, though. And I like the Canadian Press logo that is the two quote marks with the maple leaf.

 

Why is the 401 three lanes, three lanes, and three lanes?

I feel like I'm setting up a joke about Canada's progressivism, but I was just wondering.

 

HOV lanes in the middle??

 

Shouldn't it be, "Toronto is on Fiy-ah!"?

 

No, it's actually 12 lanes not nine as I mentioned. Six eastbound and six westbound There are three express lanes and three collector lanes going each way.

 

Here's the REAL reason the 401 is backed up....
