Failed Bank Robbery

[DeWayneTN]

I went outside a little while ago to get the phone out of my car and all this black smoke was in the air. A truck had crashed right beside our property and it must have just happened. The smoke was so thick it enveloped the crushed vehicle at times and the fire trucks hadn't arrived yet (the fire house is on the other side of our property).

Found out later it was a bank robbery with a high speed chase. The robber lost control and the truck exploded, reportedly killing him in the process.

Glad to hear that you are alright!

When I read your subject line, I had just come over from the MarketWatch.com website.

I thought you meant somebody had robbed a failed bank. My bad.

I should have taken pictures and video since it took the news a while to get there. But I didn't find out it was a bank robbery wreck until I came back in.

Whoa! I'm glad you got there too late and not one of those unlucky bystanders we'd see on "World's Most Dangerous Police Chases"!

Well, I watched this on the news last night and found out that a) it wasn't a bank robbery but a stolen truck and b) the guy didn't die. So I was totally misinformed. And to think of all the time I wasted looking for a duffel bag of money lying around.
