    I know I haven't posted in a while but thought you guys might like to see my little story hah

    I'm driving along 410 and all of the sudden everyone slams on their breaks. I look up and see this semi fishtail into the wall and two cars smack right into each other. Another car did roll, which I didn't see. a couple of seconds later i jump out with my camera and the darn truck explodes. It was really one of the most intense accidents I have ever seen! You could feel the explosion so well!! I did see a older man jump out of his car and run to go get a older lady out of her car. Everyone got out fine except for a one lady with a back problem. I spent about an hour and 30 minutes in held up traffic but I'm just glad to see everyone made it out alright... I tried selling these pictures to the news but they told me that they already have photos so eh what you gona do? hah

    Like I said before, Awesome photos Tim!

    Ha...The photo with the Mazda rear would make for a perfect ad for them. Slogan anyone?

    Serious though, glad everyone made it out ok, very very lucky, good to see you safe Tim.

    I'm glad to hear that everyone is okay. Great shots though, it's always good to keep a camera on hand. You never know what you could witness and end up getting shots of. What camera were you using to get those shots?

    This is a strange story. I was on one of those long phone conversations. I walked around my desk and sat on one of my office chairs and put my feet up on the window facing 410/broadway. As I am talking poof the first bit of smoke.

    why is it strange? I never sit on the other side of my desk with my feet up on the window seal. facing 410.

    I have to admit, when I saw the puff of smoke coming from your side of town I though, "Finally...John got smart and burned that Viper to the ground so he could collect on the insurace money and get a real car". After the news came on, it was back to reality, and I knew you still had that red turd parked in your driveway.

    Yes! always keep it on hand. I'v learned that the hard way i guess :( anyway I now have a D200 but I want to switch over to canon for the 5D I just love full frame way to much

    D200 is a great camera though.. =)


    Thanks a lot! yeah I love digg so i just couldn't help myself haha

    I really didn't think my pictures were going to make front page but i guess they did.

    thanks a lot guys again. these roads are nuts I witnessed another wreck last week. you have to watch yourself on these roads i guess
