Original Note:
The overpass was built in 2016. The tanker that exploded underneath it was carrying up to 8,500 gallons of gasoline. That much gasoline is equivalent to 246 tons of TNT. Furthermore, I-95 began construction in 1959. The New Deal projects ranged from 1933 and 1939. https://www.inquirer.com/news/live/i-95-philadelphia-bridge-fire-collapse-traffic-20230611.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal#:~:text=The%20New%20Deal%20was%20a,States%20between%201933%20and%201939. https://www.justintools.com/unit-conversion/energy.php?k1=gasoline-gallon-equivalent&k2=tons-of-TNT
