Maze Meltdown

Section of the maze has melted away (250 yards to be a little more precise).

80W to 880S is closed and so is 80E to 580E. I don't think anything else is though. 880N to Bay Bridge is still open and so is 80W to Bay Bridge. Morning commute into the city is gonna be a bitch for a month or two. As for me, there is a reason I live just 6 miles from work. So many backroads for me to choose from.

There are speculations that this might be a terrorist attack. Seriously...WHAT?! There are possibilities that this might be a terrorist "activity" but if it is, this must be the most mellow one in the history of terrorist-kind. Yes, it does affect the economy of the bay area but why wud the terrorists blow up just a section of the freeway rather than just blow up the bay bridge or even worse, blow up the bay bridge in peak traffic? And why in the middle of the night when there is no one else around? Is it because the terrorists didn't want to be spotted? Damn you, Muhammad-Al-Sayid aka Sneaky. Just doesnt make sense. So media, please stop "speculating" unnecessarily for every squat shit that happens. This makes me want to see if I get on the news for floating a balloon with a toy gun hanging off it. News channels will probably bring in "experts" to discuss the possibility of that being a terrorist warning. Geez!! Truth is, we are not fighting terror in any way (rehabilitating Iraq doesnt qualify), but we are living and reliving IN terror everyday - thanks to the gratuitous use of the "TA" words by the government and the media.
