A truck caught fire under an I-95 on-ramp in northeast Philadelphia early Sunday and caused part of the overpass to collapse, officials said.
The northbound side of I-95 collapsed before 8 a.m. while the southbound side is “compromised,” officials on the scene said, according to the local NBC affiliate. The interstate is closed in both directions. “The roadway is gone,” officials said.
It would suck to live in Philadelphia. Now there is another reason.
Just another idiotic example of where our country is going.
No regard for safety nor sanity, all for the sake of making a dollar.
Really now, how would a truck catch fire underneath an overpass that melts the steel causing the road to melt and collapse…
WHAT????? … heat collapses steel & concrete????
weren’t we assured that this couldn’t happen back in 2011?
… looking for a friend …
To maintain the somber tone of the story, the media didn’t report on the number of dead homeless who were living under that bridge at the time.
PHILADELPHIA… Come For The Hoagies – Stay For Your Autopsy.”
^^^^ at least you’ll still get to vote there!
With all the unions and government there involved, it’ll take over two years to repair, versus non-union people doing it in two to three months.
That right there is an Obama shovel ready job.
There are reports this morning that the bridge debris has been cleared away, but there’s not a single piece of physical evidence of the truck.
Wait, did they ever find any physical evidence of the plane that hit the Pentagon?
