"GDOT has said the materials — fiber-optic cables on wooden spools — were left over from a project to install cameras along the highway, and had been secured inside a fence.

Those materials burned so hot that the cement and steel overpass crumbled, snarling traffic in the already congested city."

Yep, fiber optic cables burn so hot....

Poor sucker. He's doomed. At least they found someone to blame it on.

So what really happened then?

Poor sucker. He's doomed. At least they found someone to blame it on.

Storing flammable materials under a public road, for so long they were almost forgotten.
Not keeping site secure. How many times have folks been run off from there in the past 5 years? Many folks have stated that they often saw "homeless" people in there.
If you have a responsibility to maintain something and you store underneath it, the potential to completely destroy it -- you are also be responsible for the security of that destructive power.

Some fool, sets a fire. If it had been in a field or parking lot we would have forgotten about it by now and he would have had a mischief or vandalism charge.
However he will figuratively "hang" for DOT's negligence. Because the people want a scapegoat too.

DOTs fault. Been saying it since day one. The FO won't burn but all the materials in the protective sheath will.

It was "fenced", but if you had the quality of fencing around your pool and the neighbors kid drowned in it...

I think it was an inside job between the City of Atlanta, Cobb County and MARTA. They wanted people to start riding MARTA more, so they researched an area, found a crack head to blame as well as a major roadway that would cause people to ride the train more. I don't think much will happen to this guy. If anything, he has a bed to sleep in, 3 meals a day, showers and a steady supply of Methadone to help his addiction. He's better off now then he was a month ago.

I am now removing my tinfoil hat for replies.

Kasim did it

That's what my whole conspiracy theory is based on!

There were some Russians in town that day

Guys.....it was North Korean Special Forces. They dropped out of the sky on a HALO jump from a NorK weather balloon, set some Thermite charges and dissappeared into the Korean population off of Buford Highway. They are probably still there working in a restaurant in Little Korea......

Get with the program......
