    Quite the big, billowy, black, cloud of rising smoke. Wonder what commodity was being hauled. The driver side door left open is an encouraging sign, though.

    Water means the nasty stuff killed fishies and or it flows downstream polluting more and more as it spreads.

    DNR or Fish & Game aren’t going to be too happy with that!

    Why do guys always wait untill they get on a bridge to go up in flames? They can't do it before or after the bridge?
