Accidental Terrorist

Everett MA Fire

Everett MA Fire

He couldn’t have planned it out any better if he tried! Thank God nobody was killed or even seriously injured.

In a bizarre plot twist, ten years ago the driver of the tanker, Chad LaFrance, made a bomb threat against UPS after being fired by the company. He has had other trouble spots and setbacks, including hitting a police officer, divorce, bankruptcy, and the loss of his house. This has led to speculation that the crash — which has displaced a dozen families — may not have been entirely accidental.
