New details from federal investigations into the crash of a gasoline delivery truck that destroyed an I-95 bridge in Philadelphia a year ago says gasoline spilled out from an unsecured hatch on the top of the tanker.
Thursday, June 13, 2024 4:08PMGasoline spilled out from an unsecured hatch on the top of the gasoline delivery tanker that overturned and ignited beneath ana year ago, according to new details from federal investigators.
A "origin and cause" report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued in September but made public late Wednesday said the "combined opinion" of its investigators is "that the fire most likely originated when gasoline escaped" from the open manhole as the trailer overturned and nearly 2,500 gallons of mixed gasoline and ethanol began to spill out from a section of the tank and ignite.
An NTSB "human performance" report said the truck rolled over as it negotiated an off-ramp at what appeared in surveillance video from a nearby building to be a high rate of speed. Moody's cousin, Isaac Moody, a truck driver himself, said Thursday he was unaware of the tanker manhole cover issue but knew Nathan to be a safety conscious driver who stayed up on regulations and training requirements.
Firefighters had to shut down their lines for a time because they could not say for sure whether any of the storm sewers were feeding branches that would go toward a water treatment plant, he said."It seemed like you would get an explosion and then it would kind of snuff itself out, but the heat would, you know, cause it to reignite as soon as it got a little oxygen," Quedenfeld told the NTSB.
