...what if a terrorist commandeered one of the 500,000 yearly shipments of commercial explosives? One hijacking could net enough raw material for multiple bombs--or the truck itself could become a surface-to-surface missile if a kamikaze driver took the wheel. Nothing like that has happened, but the possibility has authorities across the U.S. frazzled. Two weeks ago, a water truck (with a sprinkler that conceivably could spray chemicals) was stolen in Colorado. After a day-long, statewide search, the vehicle turned up. "A couple of yo-yos stole it for fun," says an investigator. But before...
...have been “Raise ‘da roof!” seeing as how the shutle is equipped with two pop-up emergency exits located on either ends of the ceiling. The bevy of boys finally exited at Radcliffe Yard repeating “Yeah, bus driver, yeah, bus driver...
...laughter we will remember. JOSH BROLIN, crinkle-eyed son of actor James Brolin, and MINNIE DRIVER, Good Will Hunting's boisterous Brit, have split.

Drivers of rigs hauling dangerous loads must have both a commercial driver's license and a hazardous-material (haz-mat) endorsement from a state, but those credentials are no more difficult to acquire than a pilot's license...
...past two years. Each student paid cash for the program - and none sought job placement afterward. Because none of the students spoke English, they were accompanied by an interpreter, the same person for each group. Even though English proficiency is a license requirement, all the Arab students received driver's licenses, trucking sources say. (It's not clear how they passed the written test, which is in English.) Charlie Tweedy, the owner of Careers Worldwide, a truck-driving school in Denver, told Time that FBI agents have examined his files and interviewed his employees. But he denied that his company...
