That's why I fly everywhere I go. I would never fly to Toledo or Fort Wayne though. Ever.

Headline says "Patrol: Up to 10 semis. Aren't they sure how many? Then the first word of the story was not capitalized. 3rd paragraph,"The patrol says the tanker was one at least eight trucks involved. Don't they mean "one of at least trucks involved?" What happened to 10? And what happened to the SRs proofreaders?
