Train derailed in Bonnybrook

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well this isn't exactly what a city on edge needs. Hopefully this works out well.

[Minnie]

Watching the news coverage - holy ####.

Once the bridge touches the river it's probably going to collapse and sink.

[Minnie]

Affecting air traffic too. Airspace restricted. Runway 34 (3-4? Don't know how that works) has been closed.

[InSutterWeTrust]

I've been watching Global for the last 45 mins, just awaiting this thing to give way and collapse, the bridge is quite lower compared to when I turned on the tv.
So this is just upstream from the water treatment facility...hope these cars do not leak.

Oh wow that is crazy.

A quick look at Flightradar24 seems to confirm this, all incoming and departing traffic are using 28-10 right now.

[JohnnyB]

What is the likelihood of something like that exploding? Could it be preferable to all of the fuel dumping in the river?

[EVERLAST]

It's a fluid situation.....god they have to stop describing the situation this way

can you expand on this?

[worth]

you have to expand first before the fluid situation arises.

[EVERLAST]

These newscasters on tv keep describing it as a fluid situation .....no pun intended but stupid way to describe it

[TurdFerguson]

Wow i dodged that traffic bullet early this morning coming from the deep SE to Inglewood. Deerfoot to the meadows to 11th to Ogden. 20 minutes (mind you at 6 AM).

And its a ghost town in my building...

Apparently the Road King truck stop is being evacuated. I don't have any link, because Internet is down at work, but my Mom works a block or so away and has been advised that they may have to leave as well.

I was on the 117 too. Which route did you take?

You stalking me on the bus now?

Actually, after the game of bus leapfrog, the commute up MacLeod Tr was surprisingly quick.

Any one travel out to 84th? I have to go from Anderson to 84th and Glenmore, am I fine, or am I going to stuck at some point?

[ken0042]

I think 84 doesn't intersect with Glenmore any more; in preperation for the Ring Road.

Edit- confirmed on Google Maps. Maybe 100th street instead?

Sorry, yes should have noted that. I go past glenmore up to 100th and back down to 84th. Just wondering if I'llget stuck on Glemore because of everyone trying to get around the no-drive zone.

[worth]

you will likely be fataed. it is normally a mess out here, but today is just that much worse.

coming straight up from the south is likely much easier than trying to cross the city from west to east on glenmore. if you can, get over to 84th on something like 114th ave and then go north. Or go over still to a range road.

to get on the north side of 84th and glenmore, you have to take 100st by heather glen which is a disaster. the intersection at 84th and glenmore does not exist anymore as ken noted.

[Caged Great]

There is no way that bridge holds up. It's starting to twist a bit.

[Barnes]

Glenmore and 84th is closed. You could take 22x to highway 791 and head back towards 84th on 50th ave or 114th depending on if you have to be north or south of Glenmore.
