Worst News Report Ever

Ok, I just heard the last part of a newscast on WBAP. I heard the words "Bridgeport Tank Trucks" and "smoke can be seen for miles."

That's all I know. Heck, I could be mistaken. It might be a wreck in the metroplex. It might be something else. I might be nothing.

Anyone clear this up?

Edit: It's the Bridgeport Tank Trucks plant in Keene. Channel 8 is all over it. (I didn't even know they had a plant down there).

I work at a hotel, and in the lobby we have a TV going all day.
The TV is tuned to channel 8 and they showed "breaking news" of the fire you are talking about on the screen about 10 minutes ago. I was just walking by but it appeared that a truck exploded at some small chemical plant. BIG BILLOWS of black smoke were pouring into the air.
That is all.
You're welcome.

Maybe I'm slow but what's the connection between Keene, Chico Auto Parts and Bridgeport Tank Trucks?

Bridgport tank trucks now has an operation in Johnson county. I don't know about Keene, but I am wondering if it is at the truck depot in Johnson county.

**Bridgeport Tank Trucks has a 2nd yard in Cleburne.

**Their pit was being cleaned by Chico Auto Parts

The rest is TBD (thats--To Be Determined--for the slow ones)

Why is it that sometimes when you're standing there and start to pee,it squirts left and right at the same time instead of straight out?

I hate it when that happens.

BTT

Bridgeport&Cleburne


Come on, have you not seen their logos!!!

Although I am hoping positive for the poor guy from Chico, it just goes to show you Wise County stuff should stay in Wise County. You folks seem to have a hard time getting any thing right....the smell, the water....I could go on and on......

But, since it was Cleburne, and I have been to Cleburne, all I can say is "Oh well....some horrible tragedy like that was bound to happen there, if anything from Bridgeport was involved."

Is the BTT logo a butt and an arm pit, 4:32PM?

Wow... lots of lovingkindness on the blog tonight. *geez*

Mr. MH hopes the guy on the news was allright. Ugly burns on him... (as the tasteless news was more than happy to show.)

Wow! 5:31 makes it sound like this place is just awful. Does that mean we don't have to worry about seeing his butt around here? I hope so. He/she would probably be miserable; not to mention lowering the collective IQ and property values. By the way, what Paradise (no pun intended) do you reside in?

I think the BTT logo is of one of their trucks being driven by a cartoonish redneck cutting off cars on 287 and causing massive accidents and deaths of innocent motorists. Oh wait, that's not a logo, that's real life.

Come on folks. do we really need oil and gas that badly?

Just wondering if you drive a car, or heat your home, or use plastic, or do anything else that requires oil and gas to be extracted from the earth...if you don't then congrats and I wonder how your powering the computer...if you do then shut up because your life as you know it is dependent on fossil fuels and until someone comes up with a better, more efficient source of power then you really have no other choice. And FYI, BTT happens to be a very reputable company operated by first class citizens of this community. What happened yesterday was an accident that was caused by a third party contractor...it was an accident plain and simple.

My last statement was a joke. How much time did you waste writing that?

BTT may be OPERATED by upstanding citizens, but they EMPLOY a bunch of monkeys to drive their trucks.
