A section of I-95 has collapsed in Philadelphia. Can't find any links yet but is being reported on local news. The cause is likely a truck fire.

I’m going to reserve judgment until we learn more about the driver.

Just be racism or climate change

Well, the collapse was due to heat...

Can't be. If ignorance was bliss, most people would be perpetually giddy!

Homophobia... It causes so much damage to our infrastructure... /s

Makes sense. The fire was caused by something massive getting stuck in a dark hole...

Ukraine needed more weapons. They just got a big order in from the cartels.

Shoddy construction?

Or is it a test run to exploit a design weakness in elevated highway construction?

“Who wants to guess the driver was hired because he was “diverse”.”

Don’t think that applies in any case. I had a black hazmat driver who drove safely until he was in his 80’s. Eddie Barnes was an excellent truck driver. His Jamaican replacement was just as good.

No problem.

We’ll just pass another trillion dollar infrastructure bill. That’ll fix it.

That’s going to put a crimp into the north south corridor. I always stay away from ‘95 when I go to FL. 80 mph, 3 feet apart is not fun anymore. If I want that I will just drive to Boston.

The bill was supposed to prevent accidents and fires?

The road don’t “just fall down.”

One thing we know for sure:

1. Philly traffic is going to be a mess tomorrow morning! (If it isn't already today.)

Ah...but you missed the point. Diversity is not necessarily about skin color or merit. It IS about bringing the worse of the worst into this country simply because they will vote for democrats.

There will be a lot more traffic on the NJ Turnpike and I-295. A lot of through traffic goes through I-95 Philly to points north and south. Anyone trying to avoid the obscene tolls on the NJ Turnpike just lost one of their two other options.

Good question. Plus, there was the 48 billion ‘Recovery Act’ bill during Obama’s term. The amount of money laundering and theft must be staggering.
