Nod to "Backdraft" in "The Dark Knight"

[x242Steve 1]

SPOILER ALERT - Below text does not give away major plot, but still- be warned!

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in the scene when the prisoner transport convoy encounters an obstruction in the road, which happens to be a burning Ladder Truck... it is Ladder 46 from Backdraft. (The Dark Knight was filmed in Chicago.)

I thought they gave back all the apparatus to the CFD when Backdraft's filming was over? Well, except for the one they flipped. Is that the one being burned.

Awesome movie by the way. Simply INCREDIBLE.

Well, ok maybe its not the EXACT same truck, especially since it was probably a miniature... But it looks the same, has "46" on it, and is in the Chicago-obvious Gotham.
