Quite a day today, the South is still closed. A 65 multi-vehicle crash occurred today at 9AM, on the I-95 bridge over Lake Marion near Santee, South Carolina. I-95 South remains closed between the 98-100 mile as of 9pm. No fatalities, truly a miracle.
South Carolina, I-95 South hwy, mangled cars, trucks and debris. With police, first responders, and sc road crews working to remove all the damaged vehicles. Two men, standing on top of crumpled vehicle, attaching a crane line to remove vehicles. Sand on the roadway in foreground to soak up the fuel leaks.

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:
