From that tanker truck. 4,000 gallons and it all burned without destroying and without collapsing that interstate overpass. I-465 overpass over I-70. That overpass is steel and concrete. Just sayin'. FYI.

The concrete was charred and singed pretty good. Blackened. But still standing. Traffic allowed under it. Not sure about over it.
