If you are plannig to travel to the Northeast  U.S. then watch out for major traffic problems...

A major accident occured on thursday night at around 8pm which shut down both lanes of I-95 in Bridgeport, CT, the main route for transportation and commerce into New England and between New York and Boston.  The highway will take around 2 weeks to fix, according to the Connecticut D.O.T.  A tanker truck filled with heating oil overturned on an overpass, causing a fire so intense that the bridge support structures melted and buckled.  LUCKILY THERE WERE NO FATALITIES ;D.

Yeah- the indent you see is from the initial explosion and the sagging shape is from just from the intense heat...
