AI6YR BenCool, found the (now resolved) Baker Incident on Sentinel-2 satellite on 7/26/24, you can see the heat signature on satellite. #RemoteImaging #BakerIncident
Here's the beginning of that nightmare backup. 11.52km backup at that point (7.15 miles). I believe a lot of these folks ended up stuck there overnight, but maybe they managed to turn some of these folks around. #RemoteImaging #BakerIncident
May be a few days, but my plan is to check the satellite imaging, curious if anyone's car ends up appearing out in the middle of nowhere around the I-15 or I-40. I sure hope not, of course! But satellite imaging is the ideal way to figure that out. #RemoteImaging #BakerIncident

Roadside Tesla Semi fire draws in investigative team
A crash and large fire along a California freeway involving an electric Tesla Semi has drawn the attention of federal safety investigators. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday it’s sending a team of investigators mainly to look into fire risks posed by lithium-ion batteries. The team will work with the California Highway Patrol to gather details about the collision and the fire response, the agency said in a statement. The Los Angeles Times reported that the Tesla rig was traveling east on Interstate 80 around 3:15 a.m. Monday near Emigrant Gap, northeast of Sacramento. The truck went off the road and collided with trees near the right shoulder. The battery caught fire, spewing toxic fumes and forcing authorities to close the freeway for hours.
@rustoleumlove Ooh, that's interesting.
