I think it has become pretty well established that the fire that took out a large section of I-10 was set intentionally. I might point out that whoever did it chose his target effectively.

First, it is a very major artery taken by thousands to and from work every day. Second, it’s a major truck route for trucks taking cargo from the harbor to points east. Third, there is an event planned, which will likely need to be moved or canceled. Finally, the highway was elevated. That means it will take a lot of time and money to repair it.

For sure, it is just the sort of thing a terrorist would select. With a small effort and expense, the arsonist, terrorist or not, caused a lot of disruption. I suspect it was his exact purpose.

It was my suspicion the instant I heard it might be arson. Though I thought it might also be terrorists, I decided to hold off until they were sure it was arson.

Even now, there is nothing to be said for sure; however, considering the the above, it would seem to be something to look into.

Also, given the flood of folks headed north over the border, I would suspect there are many that could have done it.

Besides, even if it was not a terrorist that did it, the arsonist may still have been on the south side of the border a week or two ago.
