[Vision2020] FW: Breaking news from the Lewiston Tribune (Hwy 12 oil spill)

[Dan Carscallen]

Not to put too fine a point on it, and not coming down on one side or the other on the "mega loads", but two things:

1) there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of 7500-10,000 gallon loads of fuel traveling over US12 every year, and

2) the "mega loads" don't contain any fuel, they are just (very) oversized pieces of equipment 

The fact that there aren't more of these "breaking news" stories regarding fuel truck crashes is remarkable to me.
