      First reports coming out...

      http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8098164/

      CHAMBERY, France - A tractor-trailer burst into flames inside an Alpine tunnel linking France and Italy on Saturday, French officials said.

      Traffic through the nearly eight-mile-long tunnel was halted as firefighters rushed to the Frejus tunnel after a truck carrying tires caught fire, the national highway information center said. There were no immediate reports of injuries. But some trucks were trapped in the tunnel, the Italian news agency Apcom quoted the French company Strf which runs the tunnel as saying.
      Hope that they can rescue whoever is trapped in there...

        THE VOICE OF REASON HAS SPOKEN!
        Pop quiz: Which US president said, "Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade, and much of his nation's wealth, not on providing for the Iraqi people, but on developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."
        George W. Bush is not correct. It was Bill Clinton in his 1998 State of the Union speech. HMMMMMMMMM.
