in an emailed statement, “and FHWA has offered support and assistance to state and local officials to help them safely reopen this section of I-95 as quickly as possible.” If there is massive expense, inconvenience, and tragedy involved in the disaster, there was a touch of irony too.

The risk of similar accidents remains: across the U.S., there is a lot of gas in motion all the time, carried by both truck and rail.
