A section of I-95 in NE Philadelphia has collapsed due to a large truck fire underneath the overpass. What a nightmare for months to come, this is a major route along the East Coast.

We own a business ...the trucks run 95 numerous times daily.

The phone hasn't stopped ringing. Drivers are totally stressed and wondering what they will do. Traffic will be horrendous.

I don't know what will happen.

There are also concerns about environmental impact. No one seems sure what was in the tanker truck.

Yeah, exactly. That's what I am concerned about.

So sorry to hear this.

I-95 on a good day, if there is such a thing for I-95, traffic is bad, now, it will be impossible.  I really feel for everyone who will be impacted by this.

It'll be terribly inconvenient for commuters but imagine how it will affect interstate commerce and other commercial traffic.

It's been almost seven hours. If the truck driver is OK, he certainly knows what was in the tank. Why not release this important information?

I swear, our great country is falling apart right before our eyes....another disaster!

This is going to be a financial nightmare for millions of people, commuters, airport,  retail/grocery stores, hotels, sport venues, hospitals/medical personnel including first responders.
