Paging Dr. Rosie: Did Schwarzenegger Demolish Bay Bridge Interchange?

A gasoline tanker caught fire underneath an offramp from the San Francisco Bay Bridge this morning, causing a 250-foot section of the overpass to collapse.  That's what they want you to believe, anyway.

Let's look at the facts in the manner taught us by our nation's foremost civil engineer and demolition expert.

--  The overpass was made of concrete and steel rebar.  This would mark only the 4th time in history that fire has melted steel.  The first 3 of course trace back to the morning of 9/11, when - the government would have you believe - burning jet fuel miraculously managed to weaken steel to the point of bringing down WTC 1, 2, and most notably, WTC 7, which housed secret WorldCom and Enron e-mails.

--  The collapsed section of the so-called MacArthur Maze, which distributes traffic to and from the Bay Bridge, is said to be "draped like a blanket" over the roadway below (damning images of collapse available here), clearly suggesting a controlled, orderly demolition.

--  The driver of the tanker that caused this catastrophic damage (presumably an employee of an as yet unnamed American oil company) managed to walk away from the crash nearly unscathed and reportedly "hailed a taxi" to flee the scene.

--  Below this roadway is housed "a Caltrans property full of equipment being used to rebuild the Bay Bridge."

--  In 2005, a few months after Governor Schwarzenegger hand-picked a new director of Caltrans, the agency came under a wide-ranging investigation, including FBI subpoenas for documents that Caltrans was conveniently unable to find.  Documents, perhaps, that were located in the Caltrans facility directly underneath the miraculously collapsing roadway.

--  To date, Schwarzenegger has been curiously silent about these amazing coincidences, further proof of a cover-up.

--  The collapsed section of the interchange connects the San Francisco Bay Bridge (Interstate 80) to Interstate 580.

--  It's Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution that requires candidates for President to be natural born citizens, rendering Schwarzenegger ineligible.

--  8+0=8; 5+8+0=13; 8+13=21

--  580-80=500; 5+0+0=5

--  21, 5; Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5...

Coincidence?  Numbers don't lie.

Okay, aspiring 4/29 Truthers, let's remember the creed.

Update:  Professor O'Donnell has been holding online office hours to straighten out a few puzzled Americans who naively mistook the collapse of the Bay Bridge interchange as evidence that Rosie might've been wrong to dismiss heat's supposed, magical steel-weakening powers, rather than recognizing the incident as just another conspiratorial abomination brought to you by Dick Cheney, Jeff Skilling, Bernie Ebbers, and Ehud Olmert (Pro Ro's responses in bold).

See, that's what offers us such comfort when we're snuggled tight in our pleasantly intervolved conspiracy logic.  Whenever one logical premise based on a lay supposition is invalidated by "actual science", there's always another one we can blindly cling to.  Sure, maybe gasoline and jet fuel do theoretically burn hot enough to weaken steel to the point that it loses structural integrity, but Patricia, are you trying to tell me that pulverized concrete - at free fall speed, no less - can descend in an orderly and controlled fashion?  Doesn't that at least sound *mildly surprising*?  Wake up, Patty.  Unless and until several authorities convincingly refute Dr. O's latest dictum that "Rocks Can't Fall Straight", we enlightened few will continue to delight in the grandeur of our independent thinking, thanks.

oh skippy

open ur eyes

a bridge vs a 45 story building

Pheh, yeah.  Bridge... building.  Different things, Skippy.  Wake up to the lies.

Seriously, Amy, you're just embarrassing yourself.  Trifle us not with your sciency trinkets.  Pro Ro has selected the sciency trinkets we'll be focusing on.  Just accept the fact that you're wrong and go about your naively obedient, line-toeingly unconscious life.
