Im guessing most emergency response fire and rescue guys train for explosions but fireworks cooking off must have been a real treat!

Damned global warming.

Damn! Reminds me of that pileup a while back where compressed gas canisters were popping off and flying around like rockets. Nasty.

About 12 years ago, when I still lived in Michigan, there was a 116 car pileup on the highway less than a mile from my house. It was no joke!

I-90 doesn't go through MI, I-94 does though. Far as I can tell this was about 10 miles from the Kalamazoo area where I grew up. I-94 is the main highway between Chicago and Detroit so it gets massive truck traffic and a lot of aggressive drivers trying to cut their trip time down. A lot of accidents happen between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.

Dang! That is a heck of a pileup. Hope all the rest of the folks are okay. Pretty amazing only 1 fatality out of all that
