    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.
