A tanker exploded on a freeway overpass in the Oakland/Emeryville area in CA on Sunday, April 29th around 4am. The deck collapsed and burned. It was a connecting ramp between I-80 and I-580.This is what 8,600 gallons (which weighs 80,000 pounds) of unleaded gasoline does when it burns.Reports state that the fireball started on the lower deck, and the rising heat of the 2000+ degree fire melted parts of the deck above, causing it to collapse.How did you find out about this footage?This was originally shot an a Canon hv20 at 1080p24 HD video.Here is a near-DVD quality version of the footage.http://stage6.divx.com/user/Bacon_monkey/video/1207717/Oakland-overpass-fire/collapse
