With evidence of a shoe and some blood found in the area between the gate and the edge of the 25- to 30-foot-wide moat, as well as "pinecones and sticks that were found in the moat might have been thrown at the animal," zoo officials argue that Tatiana could have been provoked. Which? If that's the case, wasn't all too bright.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/12/27/MNEJU4SVN.DTL&amp;tsp=1">Zoo director Manuel Mollinedo tells the <em>Chronicle</em></a> that "[s]omebody created a situation that really agitated her and gave her some sort of a method to break out ... there is no possible way the cat could have made it out of there in a single leap. I would surmise that there was help ... a couple of feet dangling over the edge could possibly have done it." </p>

<p>Not sure why anyone in their right minds would climb over a "waist-high fence and dangle" themselves over the edge of the moat, but this is one argument that's being looked into now.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Update: Fatal Bay Bridge Accident Inconveniences Westbound Traffic]]></title><description><![CDATA[Update: all lanes are now open.

It seems that "<a href="http://cbs5.com/local/bay.bridge.fatal.2.602425.html">a box truck, from a business called 'Diet to Go'...drove directly into the back of the big rig,</a>" killing the box truck driver. Very sad. Sigh.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/12/04/BABDTO92V.DTL&amp;tsp=1">According to SFGate</a>, "three lanes of the upper deck of the Bay Bridge are blocked by a fatal accident, the California Highway Patrol says."</p>

<p>Did you hear that? How awful. Just terrible. Three whole lanes of traffic have closed down! Unbelievable.</p>

<p>Anyway, after the deadly accident happened around 1:15 p.m. this afternoon, the number 3, 4 and 5 lanes have closed east of Yerba Buena Island, <a href="http://www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/ci_7633425">according to the Oakland Tribune</a>. We'll update with info on the accident victim, accident when we know more.</p>

<p>PS, since we don't drive (well) and rarely visit <em>the other side</em> using the bridge, are drivers really speeding that fast on the bridge to cause so many fatalities? </p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
