Greatest of all time

I must apologize for missing the greatest news story of the week earlier today. You know, opening day jitters and all.

Indeed, two trucks collided earlier today, sending goats flying — at least in my imagination of this event — all over the Pennsylvania Turnpike and closing down all but one lane around the Ft. Washington area.

Leave it to NBC10 to be all over this story.

Update: The traffic and school closings station (KYW 1060) has further details in its comprehensive goat crash accident report:

A double-decker livestock trailer was rear-ended by another tractor trailer heading Eastbound on the Pennsylvania Turnpike early Tuesday morning. Dozens of animals were killed. No humans were injured.

The impact caused the upper deck of the livestock trailer to collapse onto the lower deck, killing dozens of sheep and goats.

You know how all the anchors are saying that Hurricane Katrina is “our tsunami”? Am I wrong to say that this is our Hurricane Katrina?
