10/27/2004: Fuel tanker crash melts bridge

[russotto]

Didn't this happen in Delaware a few years back? Burned ON the bridge, not under it. And tangentially related, there was the I-95 tire fire which destroyed the highway.

I-95 in Chester, PA. Full tanker of gasoline on a bridge, like the DE incident. Took a long time to fix while traffic had to share the parallel bridge.
There were two cars and the tanker involved on a bright Sunday morning. They blamed the tanker driver because he was dead and couldn't argue.
