Early this morning a tanker truck carrying likely thousands of gallons of gasoline caught on fire beneath I-95 in Philadelphia. The resulting blaze caused the overpass to collapse. The videos and pictures from the scene are nuts. The fact there were no injuries at all despite how much traffic passes through that area at any given moment is a miracle.

This footage of a couple driving through the fire just minutes before it crumbled is something else. Probably not the best idea to have the window cracked. 

I think 'Highway to Hell' was edited in afterwards, but if it somehow came on the radio at the time then we are confirmed living in a simulation. 

While the collapse of the overpass is a huge story and will surely fuck up traffic for an extended period of time, we need to talk about this gentleman below giving his thoughts on the incident. You cannot get more of a Philadelphia man if you crafted one in a lab. Just hit play, close your eyes, and listen to him grace us with that accent. You'll be convinced it's Rone from one of his 'Bang, Bang Bird Gang' videos.

The way he says "passed out" is unbelievable. Can't believe we didn't get a "Go Birds" at the end there. The gold mine this camera crew stumbled into when they found this beauty. You gotta put this interview in the Smithsonian so that generations long after ours can see it. 

While getting this thoughts on the collapsed overpass was nice I need to know his thoughts on Doc Rivers, Ben Simmons, The Process, Trea Turner, and Nick Sirianni's performance in the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned this guy is the new mayor of Philadelphia.
