On another note, as construction crews vigilantly work to repair the I-95 bridge in Philadelphia as fast as possible, it could take months to fully fix it. The section of Philly’s biggest highway collapsed a few days ago when a tanker carrying gasoline lit on fire under it, causing the bridge to catch fire. The burnt section of I-95 has now been destroyed by crews, and they have discovered the body of the truck driver whose tanker crashed. Philadelphia traffic is now peaking heavily as residents crowd into alternate routes.
Lastly, Mount Mayon has erupted once again, sparking thousands of evacuations on the main Philippine island of Luzon. The stratovolcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is located about 205 mi (330 km) southeast of the Philippine capital, Manila. Mount Mayon started erupting lava, ash, and sulfuric acid today and hundreds of communities are in danger. More to come on the eruption soon.
