⚠️ PORTION OF INTERSTATE 95 COLLAPSES

[Carson]

Contractors will be lined up around the block to get the bid then slow-walk the work once they get it, digging as deep as they can into the pockets of uncle sam.

I doubt the slow walk. There will probably be time limit bonuses worth more.

The news said that a tanker caught fire under the overpass. Was it parked under there, and somebody set it on fire? Or did the driver notice something wrong & decided to stop there?

I'd bet money it was intentional. You notice how there's absolutely no mention of the driver. Just a truck caught fire under a bridge, of a thousand other places it could happen. This area is already heavy with horrible traffic every day, it's going to add huge amounts to people's drive or just make it impossible entirely.

There is no parking on this off ramp. It appears that the driver exited I-95 NB at Cottman too fast and flipped on the ground level curve under I-95. Or hit something that was disabled. I don*t think they have confirmed anything yet because of the damage.

They must have got it shutdown just in time - https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8158GKN/

Holy shit. That's a link worth clicking on!

That would be pretty unnerving to drive through all that smoke and see that amount of flames next to you!

Trucks drive way too fast anymore. And most of them are wearing helicopter pilot type headsets, wear sandals or flipflops, gym gear, etc...

If GOYABEAN didn't post it, it didn't happen.

Not sure at what point that video was taken. It had to be shortly after the fire started and before PSP could get on location. PFD would have ordered I-95 shut down immediately with those conditions showing. PSP may have been a little short on a Sunday morning and took a few minutes getting there. I am sure PPD helped with the on-ramps.

I wonder if there is any video of the actual collapse.

He did, and was first by 15 mins or so, in the Philadelphia sub-forum. Merged both threads.

One thing is for sure.

If you are intent on finding a conspiracy, you shall surely find it.

Notice there is no tanker under the collapse in the pics........

Earlier this morning I saw a link to the fire dept radio traffic as a result of this, starting with the original alarm. They were calling for the complete shutdown of both sides of I-95 and all ramps within a minute or two of arrival. Then came the confirmations on the closures. No time wasted.
