[AF] The SF Overpass

[Dana Puopolo]

The overpass had NO fire retardent. The towers had some type of rated fire
retardent. No, it wasn't asbestos, but that's not the only one out there.

The same thing happened in New York some years ago. A car rearended a
fuel truck under an overpass. The overpass didn't collapse but it was
closed because of weakened steel supports. We also had a road closed
because of a tire dump fire that generated thick black smoke. It was
an illegal dump.
