FoxNews claims there is a hijacked truck full of cyanide on the loose. That *can't* be good.
The truck was commandeered by three hijackers armed with handguns last Friday in the Mexican state of Hidalgo, some 500 miles south of Brownsville, Texas. Mexican federal authorities alerted U.S. law enforcement to the situation on Monday, due to the volatility of the truck's cargo, and the FBI then joined the search for the truck.
I don't know about you, but I'm not going anywhere near the National Mall on July 4. The amazing thing about this is that I didn't see this reported anywhere on my normal news channels -- I found it on conspiracy central, whatreallyhappened.com.
P.S.: this story is now everywhere as 80% of the cyanide is missing, but the truck has turned up. I feel so much better now.
