A portion of a vital highway on the East Coast of the U.S. collapsed in Philadelphia after a tanker truck carrying gasoline caught fire underneath an overpass, officials said on Sunday. Drone footage shows the extent of the damage.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said at a press conference that it would likely take "some number of months" to fully rebuild the roadway, over which roughly 160,000 vehicles pass daily. He said he would sign a disaster declaration on Monday, freeing up federal funds and other help.

Smoke billowed from the rubble of the collapsed section of the northbound lanes of I-95, the main north-south interstate on the East Coast, running from Miami through Washington and New York before ending at the Canadian border in the state of Maine. The southbound overpass was closed as the fire made it structurally unsound.

No deaths or injuries were reported, but officials said the situation remains fluid and that investigators were still searching the scene of the collapse.

At Least Kensington Street in Philadelphia is still functional

Likelihood of that happening randomly directly under an overpass of a major highway that serves commercial interests along the whole eastern seaboard? And at this time when we are seeing so many explosions to infrastructure, transportation, food supply, etc...?
You decide.

Why the necessity of the 'funereal' music during the segment? Some production tech thought he was being artful?
It's a very troublesome thing that the roadway collapsed, but the music is out of synch with the nature of the circumstances... in fact no music at all would have been entirely appropriate.

Why do we not yet know about the truck or the driver? Where is the driver?

"the bridge collapsed when a tanker truck carrying flammable cargo caught fire". what kind of explanation is that? i have to use my imagination to guess what actually happened. I bet this reporter does not know exactly what happened. he is just parroting what has been spoon fed to him

They have money for wars but they cannot maintain the roads. It could have been avoided if it had been inspected
