You must be one tough guy to be making fun of a 5 year old.

[NYCBOISEFAN]

@MrPelhambay A little more north than Piermont and south of Nyack. The town is called Grandview.

what kind of stupid mother (is it a mother whos filming?) shows something terrible like that to his baby ?!?!?!

[NYCBOISEFAN]

The kids alerted the parents to the accident. We are located 600ft higher and a mile away from the accident, so all the kids could see was the smoke from the fire. That is why the kids had so many questions and had no idea how bad the situation turned out to be. Trust me they are not scarred. It's called reality. Maybe you should think before making stupid comments.

@xDuffman3000x its knobs like you who make the worst parents today. quit trying to shelter and protect your kids from reality. they'll only grow up to be weak, thin-skinned, soulless DOORMATS, never knowing how to deal with the harsh and brutal realities of life. life is tough, let kids learn that. in fact, as far as people like you are concerened, DONT BREED!

@moonstruckkoala - thats crazy at least you werent hurt. but how fast or how was your "friend" driving?

[moonstruckkoala]

@MrPelhambay i don't think of it, much... thanks tho :)

actually went back the next morning... to buy the same exact dress that had gotten incinerated in the accident.. lol, that and everything else I had just bought from the Palisades Mall... (area where we had just left from @ time of accident) It was def weird. passing by the same area I had almost just died at... I thought they cleaned up pretty well, for the mess that was there the day before. All that was left was a beautiful black smudge

i hope the kid was alright...

@NYCBOISEFAN when?

[roadsvcman25]

I can tell you this much: the explosions were the tires popping due to the heat from the fire and both the car that hit the truck, both of which were southbound, and another one going northbound were involved. The bridge itself was projected to re-open at 6AM the next morning but was re-opened at 4:30AM to all traffic. The truck driver was killed in the mess. Also take a look at the barrier wall to the left of the fire. I'll explain more in another posting.
