Ammonia, also known as anhydrous ammonia, is well known to be a dangerous chemical capable of inflicting severe chemical burns on an individual’s air system and causing death. On May 11, 1976, people along US 59, or the Southwest Freeway, and Interstate- 610, or the loop, received first-hand information concerning the dangers of ammonia.
Around 11 a.m. on May 11, 1976, a Transport Company of Texas tanker truck carrying 7,509 gallons of anhydrous ammonia, or ammonia, hit a bridge rail on an overpass connecting the Southwest Freeway and the Loop. The truck went through the rail and ended up falling roughly 15 feet onto the Southwest Freeway.
Habeas Corpus is a legal action, otherwise known as a writ, in which a person can seek relief from the illegal imprisonment of himself, herself or another person. Also known as “the Great Writ,” Habeas Corpus has long been an important instrument for protecting an individual’s freedom against state action.
In the United States, the Constitution specifically outlines the writ of Habeas Corpus in the Suspension Clause of article one, section nine. It is stated that the “privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion of the public safety may require it.” Habeas corpus petitions are usually argued as ex parte cases, where a judge decides the matter, with or without all affected parties present before the court.

“…And that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents—and only one for birthday presents, you know. There’s glory for you!”“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory’,” Alice said.
