Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:35:45 GMT

By RON TODT (Associated Press)PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An elevated section of Interstate 95 collapsed early Sunday in Philadelphia after a tanker truck carrying flammable cargo caught fire, closing a heavily traveled segment of the East Coast’s main north-south highway indefinitely, authorities said.Transportation officials warned of extensive delays and street closures and urged drivers to avoid the area in the northeast corner of the city. Officials said the tanker contained a petroleum product that may have been hundreds of gallons of gasoline. The fire was reported to be under control.Video from the scene showed a massive concrete slab had fallen from I-95 onto the road below. There were no reports of injuries.The northbound lanes of I-95 were gone, and the southbound lanes were “compromised” due to heat from the fire, said Derek Bowmer, battalion chief of the Philadelphia Fire Department. Runoff from the fire or perhaps broken gas lines were causing explosion...

Group pushes automatic crash alerts in cars

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:35:45 GMT

WASHINGTON — Consumer Reports is launching a campaign to pressure automakers to include free technology in vehicles that calls emergency responders in case of a crash.Most automakers provide this technology in new vehicles, the safety advocate says, but charge $100 per year or more to enable it.The effort is aimed at General Motors Co., Stellantis NV, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan Motor Corp., Subaru Corp., Toyota Motor Corp. and Tesla Inc. — all of which charge for or do not offer automatic crash notification in new vehicles sold in the United States.“People injured in a crash shouldn’t have critical medical care delayed because they choose not to pay for features like remote start or a mobile hot spot,” said William Wallace, Consumer Reports’ associate director of safety policy. “It’s one thing for automakers to charge extra for conveniences, but this is about safety, and safety isn’t optional.”Automatic crash notification uses a cell co...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:35:45 GMT

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — It’s a homecoming of sorts for U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, after her agency spent many months hosting public meetings and talking with Native American leaders about curbing the pace of oil and gas development in the San Juan Basin and protecting culturally significant sites.Her return to Chaco Culture National Historical Park on Sunday is meant to celebrate the Biden administration’s recent decision to enshrine for the next 20 years what previously had been an informal 10-mile (16-kilometer) buffer around the World Heritage site.Haaland’s own pueblo of Laguna — about 100 miles to the south — is among those that have fought to protect a broad swath of land beyond park boundaries. Haaland has called Chaco a sacred place that holds deep meaning for Indigenous people whose ancestors called the area home.“Efforts to protect the Chaco landscape have been ongoing for decades, as tribal communities have raised concerns about the impacts th...

Monsoon season to begin in Southwest US

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:35:45 GMT

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) -- The Southwest U.S. monsoon season officially begins this week, which impacts parts of California, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. According to the National Weather Service, June 15 through Sept. 30 is the recognized time period for severe weather in the geographic region. California’s second-largest reservoir reaches 100% capacity A monsoon explainedOftentimes, when we think of monsoons we associate them with torrential downpours and mudslides. Though this isn't necessarily inaccurate in some areas of the world, what describes a monsoon is more simple: the shifting of the season to summer. The word monsoon actually comes from the Arabic word mausim, which means “season.” So, a monsoon isn't an individual thunder or rainstorm, but rather a large-scale weather pattern that causes summer thunderstorms, NWS explained. They are caused by a seasonal shift in the winds. Why do winds shifts? Well, NWS says the temperature of the land and the temperature o...
