#I95 #Travel #Highway
Hopefully it wasn’t one of your MAGA domestic terrorists.
Pretty interesting timing
It wasn’t due to lack of maintenance. They had just finished repairing that section of I-95.
Where’s the driver ????
What Company…. ???
So the tanker driver was ok?? No news I’ve heard has mentioned that person directly.
truckers need to slow down.!!!!!!!!
What a coincidence, another chemical explosion near a major river that supplies water for millions.
Gosh, how many does this make now that the government… oops I mean freak accidents have caused now?
Putin said Ukraine did it.
You think you could bleep out the filthy language 🫤
I came here to see what happened on the 95, not hear filthy language
Should have bought a tesla
How could it take months?
They forgot to mention the toxic chemicals that could run off into the Delaware river…
The voiceover is so excited like he’s promoting a movie.
Could this be an act of war?
Sabatoge !
😮
And this is why you stay out of Philly. Bloody war zone.
If it’s sabotage, seems very 9-11 like, using fuel to burn/bring down infrastructure. 😔
By your own hands you sinners deserve this headache.
Traffic is going to be a MF!!
It’s insane that people were just driving over it!
Was not an explosion … was a fire that melted the metal that supports the bridge.
How it can take months. It is a span overpass. They make it complicated
What about the driver of the tanker
Everytime I see Lester Holt say thanks for watching our YouTube channel I die a little inside
It’s the viewership numbers for the network evening news that’s dying. That’s why he’s on YouTube to get eyeballs to watch. He got yours AND mine
Really sus
This looks suspicious.
They say the deep state bombed I-95 and that this is a false flag operation.
Just like 9/11 there’s no way the gas brought down the road they had to use bombs.
Her last question, George, the clean up process is underway? Um, no dumb dumb, they’re just gonna leave as it is.
OAN all those video recorders and not one video of the moment it collapsed?
Oh wow just wow 😮
NBC must have exclusive footage because all the other news has reported this as a fire….
Where are all the comment section disaster and roadway construction engineer experts with all the answers and solutions to all of life’s problems when you need them?!
I guess this is safer than a pipeline……. .?
It’s a 50 foot gap
Metaphor for America in general 😮 Highways aren’t collapsing in Africa😮
The war on United States soil has already started.
Rest assured local officials are working tirelessly to arrange the bribes and kickbacks so the reconstruction can start ASAP. This is Philly after all.
Months? China would already have it back up and running lol come on America.
“Know your bridges.”
Clay Higgins
Shapiro….😂 what a joke he is
The driver?
UFF!!!

The Philly Gauntlet is now Open
Today will be the last day of the rest of life for some Philly people . ☠☠
Another planned event by yours truly, the Government.
Watching report now talking about what bad shape roads and bridges are in America. Remember Obama got 850 billion dollars for infrastructure but no one can name one bridge that was built. But he did buy a multimillion-dollar home

😮😢😢Not this is an eminent disaster but let me clarify I’m not an alien just kidding 😁 this
Tanker Explodes under an overpass………Hmmmm
Sounds like a terrorist attack to me. Notice they are not identifying the driver or the company. No mention of the driver and they refuse to say it wasn’t intentional. Smells pretty bad to me. Only thing missing is a neon sign saying. “terrorist attack”
Contractor used cheap materials to build this bridge. Capitalism kills.
month？ Are we still in stone age ?
I just dont think all these incidents are coincidental.
This stuff is becoming very suspicious. I feel like we are under attack. Our nation’s not secure enough
😮😮😮
Ya there’s secret combinations trying to destroy this nation. It’s the cycle of societies… Small to large then destruction. The wicked destroy the wicked. Prepare for the end of the world! Which is the end of the wicked!
Freak accident. Glad everyone was okay.
Good😂😅😊
“Shapiro said at least one vehicle was still trapped beneath the collapsed roadway.”
“We’re still working to identify any individual or individuals who may have been caught in the fire and the collapse,”
“So far, it is not yet known if anyone was injured or killed in this incident.”
“It’s not yet known if the driver was still in the truck when the fire began.”
It is past time for People to 🛑 STOP 🛑 their IDIOTIC ‘so-called praise’ – claiming that no one was hurt.
TRUTH MATTERS to the NEW ONE WORLD ORDER.
‼️DISASTERS ‼️will Continue Globally – – until People WILLINGLY ACKNOWLEDGE the 🔥💨🌬️🌊⚡️💣🧨 POWER of – the ALL CONTROLLING – NEW ONE WORLD ORDER / MULTIVERSE.
Show me one photo of the truck. You can’t
I like how people just keep driving towards billowing smoke.
Team America 👍😂
Amazing that no one got hurt, also shockingly surprised that people just drove on like that. I would have stopped long before getting there, or exit to local for coffee and take the next entrance. I get it that people think it’s best to get through than being stuck behind it for hours, but it could have tumbled while people are on that section.
Did the Driver get located? What did the Driver have to say? They have been REALLY TIGHT-LIPPED about this incident in the Media 🤔🤔
To bad republicans all voted against the infrastructure bill
What about the driver??
Bosses be like, “You still coming in though, right?”
Yikes 😱
That’s going to affect traffic from Bmore’ to NYC.
Remember build back better? Where is all that money? Nothing has been built and nothing is better
It’ll only take 25 years to rebuild
Oh nooo 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤯😲😲
“The cause of the explosion is still unknown”. It’s known the driver lost control and collided with the bridge. Are these reporters mentally fit to do reporting?
god’s final judgement?
Better get it fixed quick before they run out of fentanyl
How many politicians and administrations are going to talk about rebuilding our infrastructure? Or is that just another hot potato to kick around every couple years with their false promises to get campaign contributions? They’re not lying to us are they? ‘Cause that would just be wrong.
American born terrorists.
This country is so broken
What a waste of gas 😟
Do we not care that the driver lost his life.
It was a fossil fuel fuel tanker truck. Traffic now has to be rerouted for months at a time wasting lots of more fossil fuels DUH!
Everyone knows it was the Russian missiles that they don’t have 🤣
Funny, looks like intentional sabotage. Just days before the GOP is essentially calling for civil war in the streets.
NBC this has been reported on legit non partisan news sources so your hacks dont really need to report this issue. Stay in your one sided twisted zone, its what you are known for.
Probably government initiated!
So, A fuel truck fire is now an explosion. Bolshevik media is stupid.
This happen in Detroit when a muslim graduate student driving a recent purchase honda car on I 75 saw a fuel tanker driving on the far east lane and the grad student was on the far west lane and the fuel tanker it was going under a rehab bridge which they spend millions on. The grad student drove the honda car right into the KING PIN of the cab and fuel container and the semitruck flip over under the bridge. THe muslim student survived and was walking out of the south end of the bridge like McCain walking away from the fire on the carrier deck. Both drivers survived and the bridge just rehab melted and block I 75 traffic and they had to rebuild a new bridge at enormous cost, and they did in weeks. patterns never alter until the rat dies, simon tune. The bridge was the 9 mile bridge which was the road to khe sanh in northern portion of NAM during 68 tet and Westmoreland could not supply the marine base by air and decide to supply the base by building HIGHWAY 9… THE BOSS tune: born to run. HIGHWAY 9.
Close the whole road down, the world needs protection from that city
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised 621
I note the word “explosion” with curiosity. There have been numerous videos prior to this one since Sunday, and a couple comments in one of the earlier vids also mentioned hearing “an explosion” and even hearing a shot/shots at one of the first arriving firetrucks..
By this time we know the driver of the truck was found dead in his cab.
It seems strange that we’ve been experiencing an unusually large number of “calamities” nation wide during the past few months. Large numbers of train & truck wrecks, food plants blowing up, etc.; and very recently 30 tons of “missing components” for EXPLOSIVES..
I dont think Im alone in questioning “coincidence” at this point.
So regarding that word – explosion: is there any possibility that someone planted “a device”, then waited for the RIGHT vehicle to be in place, and using a cellphone triggered the explosion so the burning gasoline truck would promote and also cover “the terrorism”??
I hope the inspectors know what to look for.
Is a one-way exit more crucial than the busiest interstate? If not fill it with dirt, compacting the dirt, and cast concrete over it…..can be done in two-day timeframe.
Fraude electoral otra vez en españa.
Los censores asesinos de ancianos han hecho otro fraude electoral en españa.
Guerra civil en españa.
Guerra civil en españa por culpa de este genocidio sin juzgar.
Los censores asesinos no nos dejan denunciar este genocidio en españa.
So much for infrastructure! Oh wait, there’s only trillions of dollars 💵 for war and global genocide.
Rebuilding that section could take 6 months. Pieces of overpasses are built many months into the future. You don’t go to the store and buy them.
