Sure glad I checked the local headlines

[Gone in 60]

The Governer and Mayor held a press conference yesterday, announcing that this won't be a quick fix, and from the photos showing crumbling support columns, it's pretty clear that a large section of the freeway will have to be torn down and rebuilt. Just as I was thinking about it, the mayor said "We endured a section of this freeway collapsing during the 1994 earthquake, we got through it then, and we'll have to get through it again" or something to that effect.

I remember the sheer pandemonium that resulted from a section of this freeway being rebuilt in '94, just a few miles from this section. Back then, we were planning our re-routing with Thomas Guide map books of the city, and listening to AM radio traffic reports. It will be interesting to see how modern day technology with live traffic apps will mitigate the mayhem.

And still seeing smoke wafting from the hangar even this morning on the way to work. Been six days now, surprised to see that.
