''After Philadelphia I-95 collapse, AAA expects months of delays''

''The collapse of part of I-95 in Philadelphia on Sunday is expected to cause months of issues for vacationers and commuters alike this summer.''

 

Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro said that the fallout from the fire that took down a portion of the highway could drag on for months as repairs are made to the road. "The impacts of the I-95 collapse will be felt throughout the region as detours take motorists to nearby arteries, causing traffic backups in the Pennsylvania suburbs and New Jersey suburbs," said Jana Tidwell, manager of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.

 

According to Adelle Zocher, public affairs specialist for AAA Northeast, Connecticut drivers can use the Pennsylvania Turnpike, New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 476, and Interstate 295 in New Jersey as alternatives to I-95. Though, as alternative routes experience heavier-than-normal traffic flows, those roads may also face congestion.

 

AAA has detailed a number of advisories and tips for individuals looking at traveling on that stretch of road in the coming months.

 

One of the primary tips that Tidwell has for drivers is to start planning commutes. If using I-95 to get to work, commuters should plan to adjust their hours or find ways to work on a hybrid schedule. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has also modified its services to include more train times in order to meet the demand. Other local transportation options include the Port Authority Transit Corporation and NJ Transit.

 

Additionally, AAA has warned that all of this rerouting will end up incurring more costs on drivers as they pay for more gas and spend more on bridge tolls.

Officials say driver lost control of gas-filled tanker before fire collapsed main East Coast highway

ctpost.com/news/article/long-commutes-start-after-part-of-i-95-collapses-18147393.php

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The driver of a tractor-trailer hauling gasoline lost control on an off-ramp and flipped the tanker truck on its side in a wreck that set it afire and destroyed a section of the East Coast’s main north-south highway, Pennsylvania's top transportation official said Monday.

 

In the first official accounting of a wreck that threw hundreds of thousands of morning commutes into chaos and disrupted untold numbers of businesses, state Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll said the driver was northbound “trying to navigate the curve, lost control of the vehicle, landed on its side and ruptured the tank.”

 

As a result, Interstate 95 will be closed in both directions for weeks at the start of the summer travel season. The elevated southbound portion of I-95 will have to be demolished, as well as the northbound side, Carroll said. Motorists should avoid the northeast corner of the sixth-largest city in the country, transportation officials said.

 

Pennsylvania State Police said a body recovered from the wreckage has been turned over to the Philadelphia medical examiner and coroner. Authorities are in the process of identifying the remains, police said.

 

The accident also disrupted the automotive route from Canada to Florida through the Boston, New York, and Washington metropolitan areas, increasing Americans' dependence on air travel and on the interstate rail network.

 

Videos shared on social media showed a number of close calls around the accident, with people driving through the area as flames licked upward from the fire below. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team to investigate the accident.

 

Carroll said the damaged I-95 segment carries about 160,000 vehicles daily. State police don't know if the driver was speeding and no other vehicle has been found. Officials said they had been in contact with the trucking company, but they did not identify it.

 

Carroll said the highway span was 10 to 12 years old, had appeared sound and they blamed the damage on the heat of the fire, which took about an hour to control.

 

Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a disaster declaration Monday, saying it gives state agencies the ability to skip normal bidding-and-contracting requirements so the span can be repaired faster.

 

Shapiro said his flight over the area showed “just remarkable devastation.”

 

“I found myself thanking the Lord that no motorists who were on I-95 were injured or died,” he said.

 

The high heat from the fire or the impact of an explosion could have weakened the steel beams supporting the overpass, according to Drexel University structural engineering Professor Abi Aghayere. Bridges like the one that collapsed don't typically have fire protection, like concrete casing, he added. It could have been coated in a fire-retarding paint, but even then the beams could have been weakened.

 

“It just gives you time,” he said.

Among many transportation changes across the region, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said it was operating three extra morning and late afternoon trains on its Trenton, New Jersey, line, and adding capacity to regularly scheduled lines during peak hours following the collapse.

 

The collapsed section of I-95 was part of a $212 million reconstruction project that wrapped up four years ago, state Transportation Department spokesman Brad Rudolph said. PennDOT rated the 104-foot span as in “good” condition earlier this year, with another inspection set for 2025.

 

Shapiro, a Democrat, said the complete rebuild of I-95 would take “some number of months,” and in the meantime, officials were looking at “interim solutions to reconnect I-95 and get traffic through the area."

 

Joseph L. Schofer, a retired professor of civil and environmental engineering from Northwestern University, said a big challenge for PennDOT in quickly replacing the bridge could be getting heavy-duty steel beams of a hundred feet or more.

 

Ensuring the precise length necessary

— either by finding the construction records or taking measurements

— and finding a fabricator to make them could take time, he said.

 

“You can’t go online to Amazon and order it and have it delivered the next day,” said Schofer, who also hosts a podcast on infrastructure.

 

In California, a similar situation happened with a highway ramp in Oakland. It was replaced in 26 days, he said.

 

“Now that’s almost a miracle,” Schofer said. In Atlanta, an elevated portion of Interstate 85 collapsed in a fire, shutting down the heavily traveled route through the heart of the city in March 2017. It took authorities there 43 days to replace it, Schofer said.

 

In Pennsylvania, officials were also concerned about the environmental effects of runoff into the nearby Delaware River.

 

After a sheen was seen in the Delaware River near the collapse site, the Coast Guard deployed a boom to contain the material. Ensign Josh Ledoux said the tanker had a capacity of 8,500 gallons (32,176 liters), but the contents did not appear to be spreading into the environment.

''John Adams and the Jesuits''

 

americamagazine.org/content/all-things/john-adams-and-jesuits

''March 31, 2008]]

As you may have discerned from Matt Malone’s posts, a few of us at America are besotted with John Adams: the second president, that is, not the composer.

 

Last night I watched an advance copy of the final episode of HBO’s stupendous series "John Adams," starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney as his wife, Abigail. It was magnificent (don’t worry: I won’t give anything away); by the end I was awash in tears. Incidentally, the seven-part series is not simply a beautiful evocation of the life and times of an almost-forgotten Founding Father, but also a deeply affecting portrayal of the consolations of the married life. Of course I have to go by what others tell me about marriage, but see if you can remember two actors who have portrayed a loving husband and wife so convincingly.

 

Anyway, this Jesuit is besotted with John Adams. John Adams, however, was definitely not besotted with the Jesuits. One of the many pleasures of the final episode is hearing Paul Giamatti and Stephen Dillane, who plays Thomas Jefferson, read from the Adams-Jefferson correspondence that was taken up at the end of their lives. Their longstanding friendship had ruptured over Jefferson’s political machinations, but was restored in an epistolary fashion after the death of Abigail. In May 1816, Adams wrote to Jefferson about the "restoration" of the Society of Jesus: "I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits…. Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king of the gipsies can assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters? If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell, it is this society of Loyola’s. Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration to offer them an asylum."

 

It’s not surprising that Adams would despise us. The Society of Jesus was founded on obedience (Adams was an outspoken free thinker who bridled at any suggestion that he hold his tongue) to a foreign power (Adams was deeply suspicious of most things European). And then there’s the whole Catholic thing. "Indeed, Mr. Jefferson," he wrote two years earlier. "What could be invented to debase the ancient Christianism which Greeks, Romans, Hebrews and Christian factions, above all the Catholics, have not fraudulently imposed upon the public?" And in 1821 he asked, "Can a free government possibly exist with the Roman Catholic religion?"

 

John Adams was a good man–brave, hardworking, loving. Americans owe him a debt that can never be repaid. He was also irascible, hot-tempered and bellicose. And our second president was also very much a man of his times, and so his antipathy to the Society of Jesus is perhaps not surprising. But imagine the lively conversations that John Adams and St. Ignatius of Loyola, another passionate, intelligent and outspoken founder, might have had. Or are having right now.

Rudy Giuliani, Attorney for President Donald Trump, gives press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Presser soundbites include:

 

"So, I’m here on behalf of the Trump Campaign, as an attorney for the President, to describe to you the first part of a situation that is extremely troubling, first of all for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and then for a number of other states. And these lawsuits will be brought starting on Monday."

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Seasons_Total_Landscaping_press_conference

 

On November 7, 2020, four days after the United States presidential election, Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and an attorney for then-president Donald Trump, hosted a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, a small business in the Holmesburg neighborhood of Near Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event was held at the company's garage door and parking lot to discuss the status of the Trump campaign's legal challenges to the ballot-counting process in the state, where the president's apparent lead over Joe Biden in the first ballots counted had shifted to a shortfall as mailed-in ballots were counted for Philadelphia, historically a heavily Democratic city.
