Chopper get over the scene. We will that have shot up in a matter of minutes. Eye wild scene. In fact is there sky fox on the way there right now getting real close as they move across new jersey there heading towards 295 you say. 295, just south of the 42 freeway. So this is causing traffic delays for people coming into philadelphia, folks trying to go right in the middle of the screen you can see smoke billowing there. Im not sure sky fox can hear us. It doesnt look like they are moving but they are getting closer and closer to the scene. They say the road is on fire too.

Can handle a conversation. Ladies and gentlemen, Kristen Mcqueary and cal thomas. [applause] thank you for coming. Six weeks ago i received an email in my in box asking if i would like to interview cal thomas as part of printers row with test. I immediately said yes. In my 20s i disagree with him very very much. Of course i did but i kept reading and when you read cal thomas you find yourself months and even years down the road thinking about some things that he wrote.
