The Crash of Doom

Since this made my return home for Fall Break about two hours longer, I decided to blog about this article. The lead captured my interest, making me want to read more. Many people I had talked to just said there was a crash, and the "earth-shattering explosion" definitely made me want to read more. However, after this first tidbit of information, nothing was explained. It did tell that the driver was in the hospital, but with only cuts on his face. Generally speaking, people in an explosion have more wounds than cuts on the face. It also mentions that I-465 would be closed for weeks, but a crash or explosion site would be cleaned up relatively quickly. We find out in the seventh paragraph that the explosion blew out a pillar, which is the reason I-465 would be closed for weeks. However, it is not until the fourth paragraph from the end that it is explained how the driver escaped with only cuts. It comes after naming the trucking company, which was unfortunate for readers who were more concerned with how he escaped.
