Can you see a stairwell just at bottom of your screen. Its been tossed there. Jim, if you can pan off to your left slightly. Youll see this home across the street where the windows are bulged out from that. All this started at 8 3555 this morning when Someone Called Police and said there was a smell of gas in the area. Simultaneously police and fire responded. Then they called the gas company. The gas company arrived just about 9 15 im told. Im told while the gas company was out here determining that this was a strong gas leak the explosion happened just before 11 00 this morning.

Before todays explosion happened nbc10 investigators started digging into the gas main problem in philadelphia. What they uncovered at 4 30. Authorities plan to file charges against the company in yesterdays tanker truck inferno in south jersey. Were finding out how long that road will be closed down. Reporter we walked out just about 15 minutes ago. The most important piece of information for commuters is the following it will still be several days before even one lane on that exit ramp from the betsy ross bridge along 90 eastbound will even open up with a single lane. This as the investigation continues. Police are waiting to speak to the driver of the truck in the middle of it all. The images from yesterday really hard to forget after that tanker flipped around 11 a. M. Yesterday morning. Investigators say they have not yet determined a causes yet, whether it was icy conditions on the road or the speed of the truck or both. But at the News Conference we just left officials did note the rest of yesterdays morning rush seemed smooth in that area. On that particular ramp indicating at least no other driver seemed to be having trouble with ice in that area. Couldnt speak much to the details of the investigation ongoing at this point, but the Delaware RiverPort Authority ceo did say repairs will be extensive. A threepart approach is what theyre taking. Take a listen. First thing, we need to put some barriers well put jersey barrier in take it down to one lane and take it down to replace the guardrail. Reporter after that jerzy barrier is installed, theyll have to remove the top layer of the road there because it remains so slippery. The third part of their plan is reinstalling lighting. In that inferno, the lamp beside the roadway, the lamp basically melted down to the ground and was destroyed. We do know the driver of the truck has been released from cooper hospital but, again, investigative details are limited. For commuters, though the news is that it will be several days before at least one lane there on 90 eastbound even reopens. Were tracking it.
