Police arrested three people, including Basil Eleby (pictured), in connection with the massive fire under Interstate 85 in Atlanta that caused a portion of the bridge to collapse
Three people have been arrested in connection with a massive fire under Interstate 85 in Atlanta that caused a portion of the bridge to collapse on Thursday.
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Jay Florence confirms the suspects were arrested Friday.
He identified them as Basil Eleby, Sophia Bruner and Barry Thomas. Eleby faces a charge of criminal damage to property, while Bruner and Thomas were each charged with criminal trespass.
'We believe they were together when the fire was set and Eleby is the one who set the fire,' Florence told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Eleby appears to have a criminal past which included a cocaine arrest.
Florence would not discuss how the fire was started or why, saying those details would be released as the investigation progresses.
However, he said the suspects used 'available materials' at the site.
All three may have been homeless, Florence added, although it is not clear whether they had lived at the site beneath the highway, according to the AJC.
Florence did not have ages or hometowns of the three, all of whom were being held at the Fulton County Jail.
He didn't say how they ended up being suspects but noted they were interviewed throughout the day and law enforcement subsequently made the arrests.
On Friday, crews were seen working to restore the bridge after the blaze collapsed a portion of I-85.
Atlanta residents will likely face travel chaos as construction crews repair the fragmented section of the exceptionally busy motorway.
Officials have said that the reconstruction of the damaged areas could take several months - prompting a travel disaster for more than 225,000 vehicles that use the segment of the roadway daily.
The city's first responders said part of the highway collapsed due to the fire that broke out under the bridge.

Firefighters on the scene saved the lives of many after noticing cracks in the foundation and ordering an excavation of the area

ABC News reporter Steve Osunsami described the future for commuters in the area to be a 'traffic migraine,' and said that he expects his commute to double, as he lives just a mile from the site of the incident.
There were no reports of casualties in the incident and no cars fell from the motorway during the fire, which is nothing short of a miracle given the usually crowded rush hour traffic in the area.
Firefighters on the scene saved the lives of many after noticing cracks in the foundation and ordering an excavation of the area.
Atlanta Fire and Rescue said on Twitter at the time that all lanes were blocked and that residents should avoid the area.
Video from the fire department posted on their Instagram page showed firefighters battling the massive blaze.
The department wrote in the video's caption: '*Major Emergency* Heavy Fire showing under Interstate 85 in Buckhead. 2nd alarm requested. Atlanta Fire on scene.'

Firefighters said the fire burned for more than an hour under I-85 northbound near Piedmont Road. The interstate - a major artery for the US South that runs through the heart of Atlanta - is closed indefinitely
A number of upscale lofts are located near the area where the fire took place, which was just off of Piedmont Road
It is still not clear what was burning under the bridge or how the fire started. The Georgia Department of Transportation said inspectors are looking over the collapse, but there is no timeline on a fix. Firefighters are pictured extinguishing the fire

The state's top transportation official said there's no way to tell when the highway can be safely reopened to traffic in either direction.
'We will have to continue to evaluate the situation and adjust as we do,' Georgia Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said.
'This incident - make no bones about it - will have a tremendous impact on travel.'

'*Major Emergency* Heavy Fire showing under Interstate 85 in Buckhead. 2nd alarm requested. Atlanta Fire on scene,' the department wrote in the video's caption
On Friday, McMurry said the fire originated from an area below the highway which is used 'as a storage location for construction materials, equipment and supplies'.
'The site was a secured area containing materials such as PVC piping, which is a stable, noncombustible material,' he continued.
Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Sgt Cortez Stafford said that his officers acted efficiently and effectively.
'Our guys got here quickly and shut down the interstate and said 'No one else is driving over this bridge.''
Aerial video showed thick black smoke billowing into the sky above the freeway as a line of cars stood halted on either side. The aerial video showed more firefighters extinguishing the fire on one side of the highway.
A photo posted on the Twitter feed of local WSB-TV showed what appeared to be barrels and coils under the bridge. The fire broke out in an industrial area near route 400.
Witnesses told WSB-TV that Atlanta state troopers were telling cars to turn around on the bridge minutes before it collapsed because they were concerned about its integrity.
Atlanta's public transit system, MARTA, will provide extended service through the weekend.

The interstate is a major thoroughfare for traffic heading north and south through Atlanta. The bridge collapse effectively 'puts a cork in the bottle,' Georgia State Patrol Commissioner Mark McDonough said.
Capt Mark Perry of the Georgia State Patrol told the Journal-Constitution that the agency doesn't know what started the fire beneath the bridge but that terrorism is not suspected.
Gov Nathan Deal told reporters that some PVC plastic materials in a vehicle may have caught fire. 'I do not know why they did or what the source of their transport was,' Deal said. 'But those are questions that will hopefully be answered at least by tomorrow morning.'
Deal said inspectors were at the scene and they've contacted the original company that built the bridge to come in and assess the extent of the damage.
'We're trying to determine everything we can about how quickly can we repair it and get it back in service,' Deal said. 'I can assure you we will do everything to expedite the repair and replacement of that section of the bridge.'
Firefighters surveyed the section of the overpass that collapsed from the large fire Thursday night

The potential damage and disruption that can be done by foreign and domestic arsonists is incalculable.
ReplyDeleteAtlanta Mayor Kasim Reed says the local FBI told him that terrorism did not appear to cause the fire that brought down an interstate bridge on Thursday. Nobody was hurt, but the city faces a transportation crisis with part of I-85 closed.
ReplyDeleteSUMMARY - CONSPIRACY OF CELLS OF FIRE:
ReplyDeleteConspiracy of Cells of Fire (CCF) is an anarchist organization that first surfaced in Greece in 2008 with a wave of 11 firebombings against luxury car dealerships and banks. Monthly arson attacks followed with proclamations expressing solidarity with arrested anarchists in Greece and elsewhere. They are perhaps most famous for a parcel bomb campaign that targeted European politicians in 2010. In a manifesto written in September 2016, members of CCF espoused famous anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartholomeo Vanzetti, “No act of rebellion is useless; no act of rebellion is harmful.”Enemies and FriendsCCF strongly apposes Golden Dawn an extremist right wing group also in Greece. CCF has a chapter in Mexico please see TRAC Profile Conspiracy of Cells of Fire (CCF) - Mexico 2016.
In 2004, the FBI came upon intelligence and issued an alert to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) suggesting that Al Queda had plans to start wildland fires in Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado

More than one million acres in the center and south of Chile have gone up in flames since July 2016, with almost 70% of the destruction occurring last month. The affected area is larger than the state of Rhode Island. At least 11 people have died and more than 1,000 homes have been destroyed.
SYRIA, 28. 11. 2016:
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the terrorists in Syria have found a new target to demolish. A massive fire has destroyed hundreds of kilometers of agricultural land and forests in Al-Qardaha in the Latakia countryside and it seems like the terrorists are behind this.
A military source spoke to Sputnik Arabic saying that the forest near the border with Turkey and in the eastern province of Latakia where the main forces of terrorists are situated is not burning.
The cities of Al-Qardaha and Gabla are faced with a looming threat. The fire was mainly raging in the south of Latakia but a cloud of black smoke has covered almost the entire territory of the province. Dozens of families have fled their homes.
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS BEING DEVASTATED BY FOREST FIRES SET BY DOMESTIC TERRORISTS
ReplyDeletePosted by Richard Thornton | Nov 6, 2016
Domestic terrorists are setting so many fires in the North Carolina Mountains that US Forest Service firefighter crews from throughout the United States are overwhelmed. The fires are located in the exact same region, where anti-government groups hid out Olympic Games terrorist, Eric Rudolph between 1996 and 2003. Firefighter crews have arrived from as far away as Alaska. Firefighters on the ground are in extreme danger because of the steep slopes and drought conditions.

WHO IS BASIL ELEBY?
ReplyDeleteEleby appears to have a criminal history with multiple previous mugshots, according to Mugshots.com. ABC News reported that all three suspects were in the Fulton County Jail, and that they were interrogated throughout the day, although authorities have not said yet what led them to the trio.
According to 11Alive.com, Fulton County Jail records show Basil Eleby “had been arrested 19 times before for drug, battery, assault and other charges. An April 2014 mugshot shows Eleby after he was arrested for charges related to the sale and trafficking of cocaine.”

The animal rights group today released a new video to cry over milk, equating the nutritious drink with Nazism. Following the rise in Trump Derangement Syndrome and the progressive left’s hysteria over white supremacism, PETA states:
“Did you know that milk has long been a symbol used by white supremacists?”
It’s an alternative fact accompanied by an equally ludicrous video, which they published on social media. They call milk the neo-Nazi drink of choice, stating that it has “long been” a symbol used by white supremacist groups as a “thinly veiled allegory for racial purity.”
I shit you not.

UPDATE:
State investigators arrested three people Friday in connection with a fire that caused the collapse of a heavily traveled section of I-85.
Jay Florence, deputy commissioner of the state Department of Insurance, which includes the fire marshal’s office, identified the three as: Basil Eleby, charged with criminal damage to property; Sophia Bruner, charged with criminal trespass; and Barry Thomas, charged with criminal trespass.
“We believe they were together when the fire was set and Eleby is the one who set the fire,” Florence said.
Eleby, 39, has been arrested 19 times since 2000, mostly on drug offenses, according to Fulton County jail records. He was last arrested in 2014 in Fulton County for the sale and trafficking of cocaine.

Three transients arrested in Atlanta highway bridge collapse
Three people described as transients were in custody Friday in connection with the fiery collapse of a major interstate highway bridge running through the heart of Atlanta, as officials said it would take months to repair the damage...
Three people were taken into custody in connection with the fire, said Glenn Allen, a spokesman for the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commission. One suspect, Basil Eleby, was charged with criminal damage to property; the others, Sophia Bruner and Barry Thomas, were each charged with criminal trespass, he said...
Reporting on-site from Idaho, EB correspondent, Bob, reports this may quite possibly be a potentially huge "Q"Nit event. More to come.
Three people have been charged in connection to a Thursday fire north of downtown Atlanta that resulted in the collapse of an elevated span of Interstate 85, a major city thoroughfare that connects five states.
ReplyDeleteBasil Eleby is charged with first-degree arson and first-degree criminal damage to property, a felony. His bail was set at $200,000. Sophia Bruner and Barry Thomas were charged with criminal trespass, and investigators said more charges could be pending.
The three had gathered under the bridge to smoke crack, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Eleby told investigators he regularly passes through the area on the way to his job at a nearby tire shop, according to the affidavit. Although Eleby denied setting the fire, Thomas said he watched Eleby place a chair on top of a shopping cart near fiber optic wire stored in PVC pipes under the bridge and ignite the piece of furniture. Then they scattered.
Shit, Gonzaga well ahead at the half.
