    What in the ruck is a truck doing cruising around in the US with 35,000 pounds of explosives?

    No security ~ um some heads will roll after this screw-up. :eek:

    There was whale being transported that blew up one time. Maybe had too much gas in it's stomach or something. That had to be pretty cool.

    i read this earlier in the paper and thought there should def be a limit to how much explosives you are carrying in your truck. even if you are the delivery guy.

    yeah, its pretty wild. The only reason i can think of for transporting that kind of power is miltary, and there is a major military base here in oklahoma, so that may be where it was going.......who knows

    I read in another article that the truck "vaporized" after the explosion. AWESOME! :)

    Man...that driver must be blessed or something. You are driving a truck carrying that much explosives, the truck basically VAPORIZES after it blows, the entire road for the stretch he was on is gone, no asphalt. And he is in fair condition at the hospital.

    There was a whale in Japan (I beleive it was Japan) that had its stomach explode as it was being transported via truck bed. I remember seeing pictures of the guts everywhere. Pretty gruesome, yet cool.
