I remember that too Worth. If I am right, the hole it left took out 3 out of 4 lanes on the divided Interstate. My mom worked in the office of a local produce company and the shooter was a guy that used to drive for them. I would guess by now he is either dead or still in prison.

21 tons, is that equivalent to the MOAB that was recently dropped on ISIS?
