and it's not all the fat people eating fast food, either!!
Being a newsphobe, I'm always a step or two behind the city's excitement [thankfully!], but when I heard the story of this natural gas leak and our city's response... well, I had to share! I can't find a video on YouTube (yet, anyway) but the news story is here with pictures and everything! Short story: a guy pulls up to the intersection, la la la, and suddenly his car is engulfed in flames, there are flames shooting out the drain thingamabobbers on the street and flying manhole covers, holes filled with fire! There's a leak folks! and surprise! it can't be put out! I wish I could say only in Souf'akota, but I don't think so...
This particular story gives rise to two memories: 1) Marty and Hayden's bombs on the manhole cover, the flames actually went down the little holes, pretty cool! and 2) the Northridge Earthquake 1994, when Devonshire Blvd cracked open and water was running all over the streets and there were HUGE flames shooting right up the middle!! eek!
As I'm looking for video coverage of the above story, I discover it's not the first gas explosion of the season!! I can't get audio on this clip, just watch the first few minutes...
and I thought between the cows and the obesity we had issues... now we've got more! Yay us!!
