The National Transportation Safety Board’s preliminary report on the disaster won’t be available for another two-to-three weeks, but initial assessments indicate the driver of a tanker truck filled with 8,500 gallons of gasoline lost control their vehicle, causing it to tip and subsequently ignite. At the time of writing, nearly 3,000 people were viewing construction efforts. The governor’s office stated that “between 1,500 to over 2,200” viewers tuned in throughout the first day to watch crews begin their initial work. The livestream’s single camera is positioned on a nearby on-ramp, and shows dozens of construction workers currently clearing the site to make it ready for repairs. On Thursday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced the launch of a 24/7 livestream showing ongoing repairs in an effort to keep the public informed on progress towards reopening the section to the estimated 160,000 daily vehicles. Construction efforts are underway less than a week after the incident. On June 11, an elevated, northbound section of the I-95 near Philadelphia collapsed, killing one person. The June 11 collapse killed one person and has indefinitely closed a portion of I-95.
