a bit confused

[elessa]

a semi-truck carrying 8000 gallons of fuel crashes and burns in san francisco causing the collapse of the I580/I80/I880 freeway maze.

wtf difference does it make that the driver had a criminal record for which he has served time? his record has been clean since his release in 1999. he passed all the requirements for a hazardous materials license.

he was driving at a speed which was not safe, lost control, hit the span. his "criminal" background should have no bearing on his ability to drive.

hello... media... focus on that which has bearing on the incident. his driving.

proof that your record follows you everywhere... even when the media talks about how terrible it is that this is the case, here they are going on about it. *sigh*
