FREEWAY COLLAPSE IN PHILLY

By Bob Walsh


The flyover collapsed early on Sunday after a vehicle caught fire, closing the main north-south highway on the East Coast 

 

A section of I-95 has collapsed right in the middle of Philadelphia.  A fuel tanker caught fire on the ramp under the overpass.  The section right above the tanker came down and the adjacent section is compromised.  Monday morning commute should be fun.

Pete Buttigieg has said that the main problem was the diesel powered tanker.  If fuel haulers had to use electric powered tankers they could not haul anywhere near 10k to 20k gallons of fuel so tanker fires would not be such an issue.  He recommended fuel carriers switch to Prius or similar vehicles pulling utility trailers to deliver fuel in barrels.  (He didn't really, but he probably will.)

Joe Biden released a statement saying that FIRE IS BAD and blaming fire on Trump.   (That didn't happen either.  But it probably will.)
