I think in coming up on 15 years, I've only ever passed 1 gas can. The other 10,000 have gone by me like I was tied to a tree.

Geez! R.I.P. to the victims! That’s 10 minutes from the Tucker terminal and not too far from the Norcross Quik Trip where a truck laid over almost sliding into the fuel pumps!!

I grew up right in that area. I was going to go to a friend's house yesterday to get some help on my car who lives probably 10 miles from where the accident occurred. Needless to say my plans cancelled after I realized traffic was going to be a major issue all day long. RIP to the ones who died
